Pacquiao has become a much better boxer over the years but old habits die hard. When ever he gets hit he fully extends his hands over his head as if to say "lets get it on". If Roach cant help him correct that then Floyd will. It sounds small but fighting at this level it will become larger than life. I skipped over Cotto being the one to expose it for 2 reasons. One is his lack of speed with the lead right and two is the fact that he wont be looking for it. MAyweather on the other hand sees it sticking out like a soar thumb. At Pac's size it is almost inevitable that if this not fixed that one May Jr will send him flailing into theropes with right hand lead after right hand lead. Like Hatton I dont believe Pac can make adjustments this late in his career. He would be a smart man to never share a ring with Mayweather even if he survives the presumed war with Puerto Rican warrior Miguel Cotto.

lol "Like Hatton I dont believe Pac can make adjustments this late in his career"

what has he been doing in his last 3 fights? If you think Mayweather can hold a guy like Pacquiao off of him for 12 rounds you need to rethink you're boxing IQ. Mayweather before his retirement could barely deal with Hatton for the first 6 rounds. Hatton, though strong and good at closing the distance he may be, isn't even close to what Pacquiao brings to the table. Once he stuns Mayweather, )a fighter that won't put him in danger at any point in the fight) he will be on him like a fat girl on a piece of cake.

Its very important that see who he did it against. They are all 5x slower than Pac. I remember Seeing Gatti before he fought Floyd and saying to myself damn he is looking really sharp. Not Mayweather sharp but the best Ive seen him his whole career. He was slipping punches and countering which is not typical Gatti. I also thought it would help him against Floyd and Ill never make that mistake again. Same applies here. You have to have your **** in order when you fight Mayweather. Experimenting will get you koed. Mark my words, all the little moves that look quick against Diaz, Dlh and Hatton will look 3 steps slower with Money May.

I did mention that it very well may not happen. Ill be the first to say he cant make it past Cotto. Its just a little conversation.

same goes for Mayweather. Pac has been in with many fast fighters in the lower weights..he's a studentofthegame.

I think Floyd would beat pac, just because i think he is a better pure boxer, no knock on pac and it wouldnt be easy and pac could win but i think its a fight 60/40 in pbf favour.

well, floyd shouldn't put all his hopes on that one move. if that is floyd's game plan to fight pac, he better go back to the drawing board.
