        Well, we saw Pac work on and make that uppercut of his more deadly for the Cotto fight.

        I wouldn't be surprised if they work on his body shots next.

        Pac has a new facet added to his style in every one of his new outings. Thats what's so amazing about it.

        Floyd I view as having a worse corner. Far worse. So he won't have a gameplan particularly..

        His gameplan will be to adjust as he goes, like usual.

        But can you adjust to someone as chaotic as Pac, without a plan ahead of time?

          His shell doesn't work well vs Southpaws or people with very fast hands, he can't block shots he can't see.

            Well anything that will get you points deducted and allow fighters to get off more than they should (Castillo I, DLH) to make fights close/a potential loss is a flaw....

              would you call that a flaw or a fighting style?

                Against the right opponent it is, he didn't always used to be like that. The Gatti/Chavez and Corrales fight show what I think is a better version of Floyd.

                  People keep telling me how Judah's effort against Mayweather somehow translates to a good sign for Pacquiao. I don't see it.

                  Remember, Mayweather won that fight by wide margins on all scorecards.

                    Needs to be more jab oriented.
                    Needs to increase his output, atleast 6-8 more punches per round.
                    Needs to throw more combinations.

                      I agree..if anything JMM's performances against Pac is more what a Mayweather victory would be like if one is to make comparisons of their past fights. Based on the fact that JMM countered Pac and put on a nice boxing performance.
