There's a reason WHY Morales beat Pacquiao, BUT

This same opportunity may not be available anymore for Mayeather.

The reason why Marquez gave Pacquiao trouble, and Morales edged Pacquiao in their first fight is SIMPLE.

Both outboxed, and moved to the left in order to avoid Pacquaio's left hand. They both also used strong right hands down the middle to catch Pacquiao.

DLH, Hatton, and Cotto are all strongest with their left hand, and none of them really box like Marquez/Morales

However, Pacquiao is now much, much more fluent with the right hook. Mayweather has every punch down so this is why I think the prediction for that fight is incredibly difficult.

Morales/Marquez chose the right strategy to fight Pacquiao. They chose their spots to brawl. If you noticed Cotto's movement or trying to avoid the big shots got to Pacquiao. It actually frustrated him cause he was tired of chasing. But IMO Pacquiao was having a hard time making weight back then from anything 130 and below. That is probably why his devastating power was not always there.

Do you watch boxing???? You act like Pacquiao was always a 147 fighter that shrunk down to fight guys like Morales and Marquez. F out of here, Pacquiao always had devastating power (even the lower weights), but has now fully developed into a 147 fighter that brought his power with him.

Yeah but Pac himself stated (atleast for the Marquez II and Barrera II fights) that he was drained and it was affecting his performances, I believe he could have got Barrera out of there in the 2nd fight but ook at the way his workrate, power and movement have improved when he moved up.

Its a combination of improvement in skills, and being at the right weight class.

blah blah blah. this **** is so old.

MORALES chose damn good strategy against PACMAN.
He got knocked out twice and JMM lost twice against PACMAN.

I watch plenty boxing. I have a massive collection. And yes at times he would knock out people cold before he became famous in the Barrera fight. But the type of power he has now breaking than his opponents body and face seems to be completely different than before. his power has only gotten better since he moved up in weight. And I never said he was always a 147er. I'm just saying his body was growing and he was probably losing some power when trying to make weight below 130
