    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.
    I believe you may have missed pac's last 5 fights.

      I would like for you to consider this. Ive seen all his last fights and thats why I made the prediction. The little things get Mayweather thru and they also make him dominate. When he fought Zab he said he was a front runner. This made him more than willing to pace himslf and give a couple of rounds away. When he fought Corrales, he(Corrales) had a habit of pulling at his shorts and when he did Floyd made him pay dearly. All Im saying is if he doesnt fix the little things then his payments will be high and I dont think he can.

        With stipulations notwithstanding, Pac and Floyd should be made and will be a very competitive fight with Floyd favored at 2-1 odds.

        After Floyd's showing against Marquez, Freddie will be drawing up a possible
        overhaul in Manny's game plan in the event they have to face Floyd.

        That's if Manny beats Cotto.

          Thats the key. People seem fit to think that Manny is just gonna walk all over Cotto like he did with Hatton/De La Hoya. Cotto is a very live opponent with very good skills. Manny will get touched a few times. I'm thinking its gonna be a close fight..but lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

            You said he brings his arms up when he get hit. True, but he is never in reach of the opponent. This is just to show that he is ok and another way of saying "let's get it on". But nowhere does he do that when the opponent is doing combos. Find me the fight that he does this and he got tagged, then I'll apologize.

            Granted that he does make mistakes especially balance after a power shot, he is often fast enough to recover from it. It remains to be seen if pbf can take advantage of it or will pac chose to let hell loose with his combos that he will be outbalanced. Only JMM/EM was able to exploit this is the past. Pac now is much more balanced that for his past 3 fights, I only saw him do it with DLH but only once for the entire fight.

                Yeah he hasnt paid for it yet. Do you know how fast Floyd can be on him. What Im sayin is he will be waiting on him to do it unlike Marquez or Morales. The fight where he pays is a bad spades hand. Just a possible. And those off balance power shots always expose his ****ty defense and I can show you that fight or rather those fights
