Will Mayweather's Left Hook Be Effective Against Pacquiao?

[Mersey]

You forgot that Cotto will not land any left hook if Pacquiao never showed mercy.

Pacquiao fought Cotto's game to prove that he can fight toe to toe and overpower him. If Pac fought seriously Cotto wouldn't land that left hook.

Pacquiao will counter that left hook of FLoyd. The jab of Pac is just too fast.

Cotto only landed some hooks because Pac showed him mercy?

[Evil Abed]

If he uses it to counter. The only punch that can hurt Pac is one he doesn't see coming.

He must catch Manny in mid combination. Floyd will have to fight a perfect fight.

He can't hurt his hand.

I think Manny will come after him in a sort of combo style of Jesus Chavez and Castillo. And the southpaw stance helps as well.

An Incredible match-up.

Pac would just smile at floyds punches and walk right thru it.. Fraud will most probably break his girly fragile hands on mannys chin..

Pac probably would be able to take a lot of punches from Floyd, unless the Cotto fight left any permanent damage which effects his resilience..

yeah but floys is the fastest..........counterpuncher pac has face.........its really a tough fight to breakdown

If and when he does counter Floyds fast hook, then Floyd has the right hand just like this guy said, and i was just checking the Hatton vs Floyd fight and boy did mayweather really timed Hatton with some fast quick lead left hooks. when he woulnt land them then he would either come back with a right or tie hatton up and then push him with his elbow to fire a st8 right.

Real smart.

Mayweather will be too fast, to big and too strong for Manny Pacquiao come may 2010......Mayweather will be bigger than Cotto was watch....IMO he will be the size he was in the Oscar fight.....

Floyd's counters will land like lasers easily against the non defensive Pacquiao. Pac's only method is to attack, and Mayweathers method is to be defensive then attack out of his defense......defense is the KEY in this fight.....

Also Mayweather has a longer reach and is taller...his jab will be to fast for the smaller Manny to counter and reach Mayweather....Mayweather's jab to the body, straight right hand, left hooks....his arsenal will be too much for Pac.....

I think Pacquiao will be an easy fight for Mayweather.

i think so also

[Chups]

Dwyer is almost always right.

[Dondi33O]

Why even ask about a punch that is only one in his arsenal.
Floyd is more well rounded and a superior boxer to Cotto.
I personally think Floyds countering will be the key if they fight.
Floyd is a very defensive fighter that waits for his opportunities and then counters.
Ask about Floyds strengths if your going to ask.
I mean the one man that gave Pac hell was JMM and Floyd embarrassed him.
Every one of JMM strengths Floyd does better. Jab, hooks, uppercuts, countering, defense.

its gonna take a combination of things to slow pac down. defense, accurate counter punching, jab, etc. one punch is not gonna slow pac down. floyd will need to use all his skill in this fight
