    400 something. How many did he throw against Margarito?

    The fact is that a guy like Mayweather causes you to lower your output because he doesn't present himself as a target, and he'll counter you to hell if you waste punches like Pac did against Clottey.

    And the fact remains out of those 1231 punches, only 20% landed. Pac wouldn't have landed a clean punch on Mayweather if he even managed to hurt him like that. He wouldn't even be in the position to because he would have been tied up.

    No. Pac is really not a one punch KO artist. The only way he can stop you with one shot like that is to throw a real wide shot. Those shots don't land on Floyd. Pac would have to overwhelm Floyd to stop him. Realistically, Pac has one punch that he could land and possibly hurt Mayweather with and that's his straight left. If Mayweather were to neutralize that punch, Pacquiao would be ice skating uphill all night.

    If Floyd stands in there and fights toe to toe against Pac the way he did last night then the chances of him getting ktfo will significantly increase.

    No they won't. That would only happen if Mayweather decided to exchange with Pacquiao. Pacquiao has no inside game and is not that great fighting backwards. Mayweather should fight Pacquiao pretty much the same way he fought Mosley and Judah.

    :lol:

    I love how these fools are now accusing Floyd of having a glass chin because the biggest puncher in the division hurt him with a really good shot.

    I see Pac's right hook having just as much, if not more, of a chance to sustain serious damage to Floyd. Particularly when he demonstrates it as the third punch of his 3 punch combination.

    Pac would straight up knock out floyd if he had the same opportunity mosley did, and he wouldnt stop either. He took cotto's power shots, ate them in fact, and relentlessly continued to pursue him. I see the same thing happening for a while, until his southpaw awkwardness gets to floyd and bam bam bam. floyd ktfo!

    Pac knows how to attain space to let off. Any inside game that I'd expect him to display against Floyd would be geared to target the body and then pivot into space.

    Pacquiao's right hook is not all that great. He just started throwing it in the last few years. I don't think I've seen Pac wobble or put anyone down with that punch. Pacquiao hurts people with his straight left and his left hook. However, his left hook might be too wide to land on Mayweather. Therefore, I believe the straight left would be his only chance at really hurting Mayweather. Conversely, Mayweather can hurt you with the straight right, and left hook. He throws both with textbook precision as well.

    I don't think he finishes him, I think Floyd's instincts are great. I also don't think he fights an agreeable fight or gets mentally beaten like Shane did. Manny will go out on his back if he has to.

    The Hatton fight has slipped your mind. Pac's right hook is compact, accurate, powerful and variant. He can throw it as a lead, counter, or use it to finish combinations.

    Not a chance. Personally I think Mosley's over hand right is muchmore powerful than anything pac has. Where pac would doing things differently is his body shots are very very hurtful. Busting Floyd up and taking him late would probably be his best shot.

    Personally, I think Mayweather Beats Pac easier then he beat mosley. Right now he's like Micheal durring his second stint with the Bulls. His understanding of the game is on par with anyone who has ever practiced it. He's just taken it to a whole new level.

    Does he get to wear his gloves or not?
