Mayweather barley uses it but is effective, Pacquiao's last 5 opponents have out jabbed him and with Mayweather's speed he will land and a bigger %. Floyds size and reach will make it effective... this fight could be lopsided for Mayweather even though alot of you wont think so
Mosley looked small against Mayweather, Pacquiao is small compared to Shane...Mayweather's size and reach will win him the fight, and his jab and counter rights!
look at what happens when Pac fights boxers
Cowards take random layoffs and find excuses not to fight a fighter. Excuses like "he has no fan base" or "hes on PEDs"
By the way Floyd fought that 40 yr old as well. Shane Oldsley...
"Nobody would watch the Marquez fight"- Manny Pacquaio.

I don't think it's that, Personally I think Pacquiao is open to the right straight. Not as open as he used to be like the first Marquez fight as he obviously can defend it better now but if you watch the fights against Marquez I and II and Clottey whenever he was hit it was the right hand.
Cotto is a converted southpaw (southpaw that fights from an orthadox stance) which is why his jab is so powerful and his right hand isn't so he couldn't take advantage of that. Margarito doesn't have a great straight right and Clottey can't do both offence and defence at the same time. Mayweather would trouble Pacquiao with the right hand all night long
However, I also think Mayweathers defence is more open to southpaws (Judah uses the same defence but since he's a southpaw Orthadox fighters can get around it) it's a double edged sword.
To me that and the jab go hand in hand, the jab would only make the straight right more effective as long as Mayweather is throwing the jab with proper range and authority.
Manny is coward he'll only fight pathetic 40 year olds who havn't won a fight in years

You mean like Floyd did a few months ago? Are we talking about the same 40 year old opponent?

Maybe he killed JMM with the jab, against smaller guys that is what you are suppose to do keep them at the end of your stick and they really can't do anything since they will never make it into range and be in position to really take advantage of anything.
It is a terrible situation to be in for a smaller guy.
