    Pacquiao? in relationship to the right hand counter. marquez landed it at will. snapping back his head several times each round.. what happends when Floyd lands his much stronger lea:bbbd counter right hand? the same one that floored marquez?

    Pac being vulnerable to right-hands has been an established fact for a long time. And Floyd didn't knock JMM down with a counter right. It was a left hook.

    We didn't really need the third Marquez fight to prove this either

    What's a lead counter?

    Floyd fights differently than Marquez. When a fighter jumps in on JMM, he takes risks by immediately throwing hard counters in the middle of the exchange. Floyd will let them punch deflecting blows and only swing back when he is pretty sure his own counter won't be countered. In other words, Marquez takes more risks (for a counter puncher).

    That is actually a pretty significant difference against a quick and (usually) high output fighter like Pac. My head still thinks Floyd wins though I would not put money on any outcome.

    Floyd would find his RIGHT HAND LAND CONSISTENTLY, OVER PACQUIAO'S SHORT JAB.

    Floyd would also find that, when Pacquiao "amatuer hooks" he would be able to land a 1-2 jab, right hand.

    Floyd by ko in 7...maybe 8
