I dont understand why people keep saying mayweather can't hurt pac-man, i think by saying that is under estimating mayweather power, i understand he doesnt load up on his punches alot but the man has alot of pop in his left jab/hook and right hand when he throws single punches. I think he is very capable of hurting pac-man.
SO WHY IS MAYWEATHER SO MISCONCEIVED AS BEING A LIGHT PUNCHER THAT CANT HURT YOU?
He can hurt him. I just don't think he will put enough punches together to discourage him because Manny will fight back unlike Judah.
He did discourage Oscar de la Hoya at 154 with a single straight right hand.
Yes it depends if pac dosent see the punch. For example, i think the KD with Hussein was he expected a right punch but got hurt with stiff left jab:

PBF also jabs to the body and i expect him to counter pac often. But i
dont think he will KO him but not impossible.
I think there will be some hard, counter shots to Manny's huge dome while he is off balance (which is often). I think these could easily score a couple of knock downs for Floyd, but I'm still going with Floyd by UD.

Yes. He can hurt Pac. It is only a myth or a hyperbole. Not really that much different from the steroid myth/allegation that we are getting now. People are just reacting to the hype. It is good for the $$$. Relax man.
I think people consider him a soft puncher because of all the people he hasn't hurt. I mean he hit Oscar DLH with everything he has and Oscar would just smile at him. Beside Hatton, Floyd hasnt ko'd anyone since 2005. In contrast, I cant off the top of my head think of anyone that Pac didnt floor in a fight.
I tend to think Floyd has decent pop in his hands but fails to KO people because he doesnt punch in combinations. Yet one thing is certain, Pac is a much stronger puncher than Mayweather, and that is a huge advantage for Pac.
I don't think Floyd is going to literally have Pac on queer street or even knocked down. I think Floyd's gotta be very active against Pacquiao in order to hurt him and not totally rely on counter punching. People look at the Marquez fights and think "Ah well, look what Marquez did to Pacquiao". But Pacquiao's a different animal and you have to have a great game plan against him to win. I personally don't think Floyd is unbeatable, it's all dependent on style match ups...and for the past 5 years I have not bet against Floyd for that exact reason.
This time around, I'm truly unsure.

Yep that is a myth mate. they said the same thing about Hatton when he fought Floyd and we all know how that one turned out
People are saying Floyd punches when you least expect them...
Pacquiao does the same thing. The only difference is that he throws them a lot more times in awkward angles and uses both sides of his body (his right hand is almost there)
Punches when you least expect them and where you least expect them
ok so what do yall think will happen when pack man dives in to thorw combinations, because his arms are to short to stand stright up and throw to hit mayweather

Right timing and placement, anyone can get hurt. Floyd would have to throw alot of punches to break him down tho, don't see that happening.
You can't compare Cotto's punching to Mayweather's. With Cotto it's all about bludgeoning his opponent into submission whereas Mayweather relies heavily on timing.
I'm sure that if you asked both to test their punching on some kind of machine Cotto would be the heavier hitter. But you have to think of the net result. Mayweather catches you when you least expect it and that's the WORST time to be caught, period. Timing has always been more valuable than brute power.
Well noone thinks Pacquiao hits any harder than Cotto even though Pac knocked out Cotto.
