Have you guys given any thought to the fact that Trainer Roach and Company are carefully studying all of Pretty Boy's tactics, and moves? The "Pac-Attack" fight plan will be custom-tailored just for Floyd. I'm quite certain that anything the "Highly-Talented" Mayweather can possibly do in the ring will be countered by the fierce "Fire-Power" of the Pacman's fistic arsenal. I don't see a Mayweather/Marquez repeat here. Floyd is totally underestimating what the Pacman is capable of doing. I see a Pacquiao victory by overwhelming KO or TKO... JAT

Yes, if the check hook is combined with the right straight--it will be VERY effective. Also, Floyd could just take advantage of Pacquiao's shorter arms and use right straights after Pacquiao either throws his jab. It's going to be a tough night for Packy.

not reallly...floyd is not gonna throw power punches , hell be too scared to take some back......

I don't know, Pacquiao is only getting better against left-hookers. DLH, Hatton, Cotto, and now Floyd who's known for leading with it. Pacquiao has really mastered that inside right-hook, especially to counter left-hooks. Manny was brawling with Cotto because Cotto would fight back, so of course sooner or later he's going to land hooks. Plus, Cotto throws ALOT of left hooks, seeing as how he loves to double it. Pacquiao is going to have to fight Mayweather tactically and should work on his timing.

Major difference between the left hooks of all the guys you mentioned and Mayweather's. Mayweather doesn't need to get set to throw it and on top of that, he has a straight right hand. Mayweather is well equiped to go against a south paw in Pacquiao's level.

knocked jmm down with it
busted judah up with it

like the ingenious freddie roach devised a plan both times to shut out marquez? think it through, has it been roach's expert fight plans or expert picking of opponents. freddie was in oscar's corner against floyd and floyd still beat oscar.
