    I agree, but also think it has to do with Floyd's positioning when he throws his lead right or lead hook, or jab. Their handspeeds are pretty damn close.

    That lead left that Pac dropped Algieri with in the 9th was fast as hell :deal and it was from a distance and at an angle.

    I loved that moment in the fight! It was like a flashback to Manny in 2009, 2010. Been a while since we've seen Pac put a grown man on his butt from a single punch.

    Floyd will be able to counter Pacquiao more than Pac-man will be able to pressure andi impose a high work-rate in this fight. Floys should probably be 1.40 favorite against a 2.90 or something similar.

    Throwing one counter to 5 punch combos coming at Floyd several times a round won't be MORE.

    He's not faster and common opponents have said that power is the same. More experience? -_-

    Cotto says Pacquiao hits harder
    Marquez says Pacquiao hits harder
    Mosley says Pacquiao hits harder
    Guerrero says Pacquiao hits harder (yes, he said he's sparred Manny)

    Marquez says Pac's faster
    Cotto says Pac's faster

    He's thrown caution to the wind in all his fights with Marquez and many of his fights before. It wasn't till after the KO that he decided to be less careless.

    Lol ODLH has been KO twice. Marquez has never been KO, so maybe you should go with Marquez instead?
