i'd love to see him catch floyd with the same punch he KO'd hatton with

i can see it, floyd comes in with a jab, manny torques his body to his left while moving to his left and lands a beautiful left hand right on the button....KO

I doubt Floyd would ever throw such a lacklustre jab like the one Ricky was throwing....was that even a jab it just looked like he was in awe and wanted to touch Manny lol

The first Hatton KD was happened while they were exchanging punches... same with those 2 Cotto knockdowns...

Manny has a very sharp mind and quick reflexes... Imagine he can spot a target while busy exchanging punches... That uppercut that put Cotto down was a thing of beauty... It was very fast and thrown in Cotto's inside defense....

yeah, that left uppercut is beautiful. actually it was just followed by a right hook to the temple, and then when cotto's head is swaying due to the right blow, pac's left uppercut came with force in opposite direction of cotto's head movement due to right blow..it was awesome fast combination!

Most boxers can't knock down an opponent by a single shot coming from fast combination... They need to land more than one to KD an opponent (from combination)...

Punches from combinations are lighter than a single punch but Manny still have enough power even in combination... The punch that folded Hatton was a powerful single shot though...

although this scenario looks difficult for pac, with his speed it is not remote. straight left is more likely to hit floyd inside his jab. lately pac's been KO'ing with a left hook/uppercut, but he KD's with left straight before.

It's probably due to the fact when his opponent is throwing theyre more open and have inhibited balance. Compounded by the sheer volume of punches he throws, coupled with their speed.

I dont think Pacquiao is seeing these punches with ultra reflexes and landing on his opponent through gaps in their defence when he sees them momentarily.
