    Tough question to answer becuz I honestly dont know. Everything favors Floyd. He is the only fighter I have watched who has never been hit clean. His record explains itself. If I say Pac its only because I'm a big fan of his more than Floyd but I'll answer it being non biased and say I dont know. Floyd never seen anything like Pacman before with the speed, the volume of punches and the extremely hight work rate but at the same time Pac never fought a fighter as crafty as Floyd and when he did against JMM he had a hard time.

I'm certain Manny could have beat him but what I'm asking is do you think he could have gone the distance or perhaps even hurt Manny with one of his thudding right hands ? Thoughts...
        no he would of been kayoed within the same amount of time as hatton

          You have to remember it also wasn't just about the right-hand with Tszyu that made him effective. He had a great short-left hook that was quick and hard that could stun you...which could set-up the right hand. He also could attack the body. Injuries and inactivity were a big threat to his career.

              Tszyu would've stopped Pacquiao, IMO. He may lose rounds, but he'd catch him, and take him out eventually.

                Tszyu had a granite chin, lots of power, and if there was ever a southpaw-killer, Tszyu was that. Not even speed would beat Tszyu.

                To beat Tszyu you can't fight him, you'd have to runaway like Vitali did against Arreola(literally turn around and run away) and just hope to win on potshotting. Pacquiao is a fighter so I think he would have engaged/trade at some point against Tszyu.

                    people that box tszyu is not gonna have a good night.

                    maybe a few rounds but he'll eventually time you coming in or backing up.



                    you need to crowd kostya to beat him.

                    that's what phillips and hatton did.

                    kostya needed range to time you and to apply his power.
