    Anybody know the deal on Pac right hand? They noted that it was swollen or something after the fight and it seems like he's wearing a brace of some sort (even now I think).

    Did he fracture something?

      I don't know which one he should use against Mayweather, though...
      it's clear pac respected ODLH's punches more than he respected cotto's - that is, it was his first fight at WW, he might give it all now to ODLH and KD/KO him.

        his hands are always swollen after fights, don't know how much he puts in all force in his punches

            I would have expected to see more damage on the left hand though, but the post fight interview clearly showed there doesn't seem to be any problem on that side..

              I want to be enlightened dans01234.
              I was talking about Floyd's punching power versus Cotto's punching power. I was even talking about Pacquiao.

                  Based on compubox, Pac landed more shots than cotto fromround 2-12...Cotto only won round 1 even w/o the KDs.,.

                  As for Pac's defense, Manny was testing cotto's power during round 1...He was kinda taunting him to get into his head...

                    how about this one

                    Definitely, but I don't think he can just walk through Floyd's punches. Remember, speed is power. Cotto is a stronger puncher than Mayweather. But Floyd's speed plus his balance make him the more gifted and devastating puncher.

                    Like everyone always says, the shots that hurt the most are the ones you don't see. If Pacquiao only thinks offense, he'll get caught with something wicked.
                    Thats why I asked you this questions:

                    1.) Did you ever think that Manny doesn't have the speed also?

                    2.) Whom do you think has the faster hand speed. Manny or Floyd?

                    3.) Have you ever think that Manny speed can't hit Floyd with a punch?

                    I was just asking questions to you dans01234. Are my questions so hard to be answered?

                      PAC also read that PBF defense is invincible, so imho he will test that out as well...
