    are you serious? that shoulder roll stance is good for a lot of things...he can catch punches at all angles...any straight punches feed into the trap by leaving the fighter open to uppercuts and counter left or right hooks...if anyone is quick enough to pull it off...it's floyd...and manny has short hands...he will have to stand in closer to hit floyd...

      Pacquiao cuts through Floyd's defense like a hot knife through butter.
      but floyd has that ability as well...with the exception of zab judah (fastest boxer of our generation) i haven't seen floyd stunned by a punch in 7 years...doesn't that tell you something?

        Other than Zab Judah, who had that ability as you said... Who has he fought with the same speed and power as Pac in the last 7 years?

        Floyd looks good against blown up feather weights, but against someone who can match him in speed AND knock him out...Floyd has little chance..

        If Marquez can nab him, it's for damn sure Pacquiao can.

          But Judah is a one punch striker whereas Pacquiao throws in combinations, and it's harder to dodge combinations especially when they are coming from unpredictable angles like Pacquiao throws them.

              He nabbed him because of his intelligence. Pacquiao wins fights because of his speed and risk. Mayweather's career is built on his technical ability to counter and defensively null a lot of fighters offensive attacks.

                Mayweather had a different fight plan!!!! he wanted to pressure judah and tire him! against pac man it will be the purist of conterpunch with a few jab and potshot holds just to throw him off

                  Thus spawning Pacquiao's crazy style that is now a style in itself, which is crazy because he has basically mastered the skills of unpredictability.

                      He wouldn't. Or he'd prove everyone right about him ducking the top WW's at the time of his first "retirement". Anything can happen if the moneys right.
