    How many punches did Floyd land on Pac? I don't know how many but he barely landed anything of note himself. I don't see how that fight was some masterful performance by Floyd. He won a wide decision yet he squeaked out every one of those rounds.

    Floyd landed 148-81 for Pac. He dictated the pace and landed the better shots throughout. Floyd landed 81 power punches to 63 for Pac. Floyd dominated in the Jab department as well.

    Yup there was a whole lot of people, especially as they thought Floyd had caught Manny at a vulnerable time after his KO defeat,

    Boxers like Fernando Vargas & Pauline being just two that i remember of the top of my head & they were actual fighters, his own father & uncles said Floyd will knock him out, as well as majority of the comment section were flooded with the same sentiments as i recall on the main ESB site.

    Listen dumb dumb, you mentioned Gatti as if that was something to be so impressed about,

    I bet even you would look fast when you're in their with a much older past his prime fighter.

    I'm not surprised by certain people here believing Floyd has far superior foot movement as one stated,

    Pacquiao had the better feet, even people who didn't closely follow Boxing would notice that thing about him that most & how they realized it was what separated him from the rest, especially in those years when he was fighting top guys consistently eg being the Clottey & Margarito fight's alone & chuck in the Cotto fight as another,

    There is no discussion, just name me another fighter who was able to move, switch, pivot, angle with him punching while moving & then when you looked he would be at a different place in the ring all at the same time,

    BTW when did Floyd ever come close to such an example? Majority in his fights he fought as a counter puncher barely willing to take chances & only appearing to open up when he lured in his opponent & with most of his opposition being flat footed guys with an reach disadvantage against them to begin with.

    Well said. Manny's foot speed was actually more to do with his toe speed. Floyd had impressive toe speed too but Manny had super explosive toe speed in every direction.

    That was weak, Hit a nerve there huh?

    Alt or not that's what the comments were flooded with so don't go getting upset with me stating it,

    Now scurry on back to playing wordie's while embarrassing yourself.
