    Good point. If anyone could beat May with the jab, it would've been Oscar.

    Manny landed 48-408 jabs against Marquez, that's 12%.

    Will Manny even be able to land 12% of his jabs against Floyd?

      doesn't matter with pac. jab doesn't deliver KO's. it's where he hides the bomb.

        Oscar had the advantages Pacquiao doesn't. Oscar had Floyd's dad in his corner for several fights and likely picked up some points on how to handle Floyd better. He also hired Shane to try and emulate Floyd's style.

        Then he picked the ring, glove size, make and model, weight class, and was taller than Floyd.

        Oscar also held the WBC light middle weight title which Floyd lifted.

          another bad habit of FLoyd is to rely on decisions..

          to not go all out..

          If he does that against Pac, he will lose, because public favor is shifting against him.

          He has to prove himself yet again

              Public favor won't matter if Pac gets outboxed for 12 rounds.

                I see Pacquiao giving Floyd some trouble with his southpaw style and in and out darting. He might even win the first few rounds. Until Floyd figures him out.

                Pac needs to prove the doubters wrong in that fight.

                    Yeah, but Floyd would have to dominate.

                    If its at all close and it goes to the scorecards, Pac will win the decision.
