    Manny will hook over it, probably knock him down.

      I know that, this thread ain't about Floyd using it on Manny though, it just about his underrated jab, so I see people agree, I thought I was the only one.

          One of his best weapons for sure, but I don't see it being too effective against Pac.

            floyd's jab to the body and his lead right is crucial in this fight.

            everyone talks bout manny's offense and floyd's defense.

            the most important thing in this fight could be floyd's jab and lead right.

            if pacquiao can't deal with it (with floyd's height and reach advantages) , pacquiao is screwed.

            however if pacquiao can neutralize floyd's jab and lead rights or at least counter punch them effectively that floyd is wary to throw it , pacquiao has a great chance to win.

              Floyd's jab as a whole is underated.

              very good when he uses it.

                  Well, Floyd rediscovered his jab for the Marquez fight. Let's see if his jab is back for good.

                  If it is, it'll give Pac problems

                  Cotto's jab gave Pac problems until Pac was able to counter it...Floyd will be much more difficult to counter.

                  But the jab to the body is suicide to use in this fight for Floyd IMO. You're way too vulnerable when you jab to the body.

                  This is such an interesting fight styles-wise.

                    Don't be too surprised if Floyd decides to box Manny with just one of his weapons to pull out the win.

                      this is not trying to imply he will beat Pacman, just trying to see if people agree that floyd's jab to the body does not get any credit, which it's due.

                      i always give credit to Manny's straight left that's as fast as the speed of light!
                      who's underrating it????
