It'll be cool to see if Mayweather dusts off his right uppercut and brings it in against Manny - it's a weapon that's been underused against Pacman so far IMO.

I do have a few thoughts on it, however. These so-called flaws that people are seing are not as easy to exploit as some are making them out to be. Pacquiao isn't like any other fighter I've ever seen, to be honest. From what I can tell, I don't think it's easy to prepare for him. Maybe impossible. Mayweather's defense seems to be crafted to deal with more traditional styles, not an unorthodox one like Pacquiao. I'd imagine Roy Jones is similar in that way. Joe Calzaghe too.
The off-balance issues people point out, for example. I'll take Shawn's word when he says Manny has mastered the ability to throw powerful shots while on the move, where anyone else would not be able to get any decent leverage behind those kind of shots.
Bottom line: Any flaws Pacquiao has are not repetitive enough to fully take advantage of. That's how I see it, but as I said, I don't have anywhere near enough technical knowledge to put forth a more convincing argument than someone like Shawn Porter.

Can you name some technical flaws or bad habits of Manny Pacquiao?
Drops right hand when throwing his left "handed fastball"
When throwing right hooks...if not thrown with enough power, wide open to a counter left hook/uppercut
Loves to engage into a firefight.....

We have a real pro fighter in here who sparred with Pacquiao for many weeks and who knows much more than any of us. For this reason, I'd rather keep my trap shut and try to avoid being an armchair boxing expert.

3) he's too tough for his own good
4) he never ducks a challenge

Roach will try to iron it out I'm sure, but maybe it's one of those habbits that you just can't kick - because it's been an issue for as long as I've been watching Pacquiao and he still persists with it.
