    Pacman is a volume puncher he has the style to beat Sergio by points, but he would have to engage and stand in front of Sergio taking his shots like Williams did. Sergio has the better defense he doesnt drop his hands when he punches he drops them only when hes out of range and to entice his opponent to come forward he likes to lay traps. Sergios jab would make the difference in the fight. Would be close and competitive Sergio by UD. I think both are alot smarter in the ring then given credit for.

    Floyd would fight his most defensive fight to date and smartest too. Alot of lead rights and check left hooks. This one would be a closer fight that could end up a draw or Sergio SD, but I can also see Sergio getting robbed which has happened in the past. Those 3 are the 3 best in the world I think nobody is getting kod. All 3 too versatile.

    Manny is too small. Martinez has good speed and a good jab from a southpaw stance.
    If Martinez goes out and fights him like he did Paul Williams in the first fight, he'll frustrate Pac. Martinez has too much movement for Pac and then he's stronger and bigger, that's not a good matchup for him

    It's also a tough fight for Floyd too, because usually with a fighter like Martinez, Floyd would try to pressure him because of his style and him being southpaw, but the problem is once again his size. I think Floyd has enough tricks in his bag to get the job done, but it won't be easy

    Well! I don't think that Martinez is faster than Pacquiao both in foot and hand speed dimensions.

    neither was Marquez, but the slight backward step he took was enough to frustrate Pac

    Well dispite the Floyd struggles with southpaws theory, I believe it's wrong. He has one of the best straight right hands I've ever seen. The key punch against a southpaw. He has pristine defence, I think even though Sergio is pretty damn fast and accurate, he's not overly accurate, and I believe he would have trouble hitting Floyd without getting countered with a straight right or a left hook. Floyd also has a great chin from what we've seen. He's also not as small as Pac.

    Pac would have all kinds of problems with Sergio. Sergio moves beautifully both in and out and around the ring. Which we've seen trouble Pac. Pac dynamite offensively but his defensive flaws, plus his lack of size would be too much.
