You guys don't know anything. Watch all of Pacquaio's fights including Cotto>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>STRAIGHT RIGHT.

to many to list

in regards to the floyd matchup, pac doesn't cut off the ring very well, and if you're going to beat floyd, you need to take away his mobility.

but that's something roach has the next 3 months to work on. i'm sure he will.

Everyone knows that a Southpaw is open to a Right Hand. I think the point of this thread was more in depth than the standard Southpaw answer.

As for the question;
The main weakness in Pac is that his Offensive arsenal is largely diminished if his opponent decides not to stand in front of him, moving and boxing makes it much more difficult for Pac to put his combo's together, and as Larry said earlier you can counter him, especially if you time him coming in with the jab (As JMM did well), and put right hands and left hooks behind that.

Too many to list...

Floyd will have a hard time which one to exploit he'll be confused that by the time he almost made up his mind, he's already sleeping on the canvass.

Floyd the Fraud!

I'm extending my condolence this early as i know this will be his last step in the ring.

[Souroush]

he can only rattle off hard punches when his feet are planted or moving forward, meaning that if hes boxing rather than fighting his power is negliable,
hes a great great fighter, but just an alright boxer,

his lack of reach will land him in trouble against most legitimate welterweights

he is very susceptable to counter punches and has tremendous problems dealing with people who box and dont brawl
