    I don't see people Marquez'ing Floyd's straight right, whereas Marquez learned how to make him pay any time he though about throwing it.

      Pacquiao can do with one straight what it takes Floyd one hundred.

          Floyd's right hand is easily the best punch in boxing. And it's his best punch even better than his left hook which might be like the second best punch in boxing. Even better than Pac's straight left both punches are.

          :*******: :wank:

          Are you serious?

            Straight left. His 'Manilla Ice' sucks.

            And btw- he throws one hundred MORE, too. Not as successful. That should factor in.

            You can either seriously refute it, or just stop being so damn cynical.

              a "better" punch should also take into account how much it is used, how accurate you are, how effective you are at using it, and so forth.

                Any comparison is ridiculous in my mind - but we all have our own way of looking at things. Pacquiao has built himself into one of the greatest in the game almost entirely based on his straight. It's ****ing special.

                You'd have to have a ****ing hole in your head to see it any other way.

                  A hole in the head doesn't leave much room for seeing things my own way.

                    Floyd's is much less predictable and efficient I think, though Pacquiao uses his straight left better now than he did in past fights like his first with Marqeuz, where he pretty much used it all fight long and started getting countered left and right with it.

                      Hatton ate what, a hundred of those straight rights from Floyd, without a hell of a lot of effect. Do you really think he would take that many flush lefts from Pacquiao, especially factoring in the weight difference?
