He beat Whitiker, Rivera, Camacho, and other southpaws.

If a double ko is possable that would be great, just no rematch please.

It seems the Whitaker fight is a major focus here.

Pacs boxing skills have gotten better, but Whitikers timing and know how of distance it way better then Pacquiaos. I do aggree that Pacquiao will have to box too win. If Forbes was able to tatto Delahoya, Pacquiao should be able too, and i can't see how Delahoya is up for this fight where he has an advantage. Not saying Pacquiao is going to look so small in there against Delahoya cus Pac magicly gains mass.

He struggled with Whitaker and looked bad against Bredahl. Camacho had no chance. Rivera wasn't a southpaw.

When did Manny Pacquiao become a master boxing craftsman? I missed that memo...
