pacquiao had right hooks , body punches , uppercuts , etc. at 112.
he was a wild brawler that threw all kinds of punches.
roach made him the one-dimensional one-two jab straight fighter at 122 on purpose. he was too wild back then and the 1-2 jab , straight style kept him less wild and less prone to getting caught with something he doesn't see.
he started working on bring back the right hook after the first jmm and em fights.
the right hook is what he used to hurt velazquez. the right hook was what he use to break morales nose in the rematch.Comment

well remember pac's 1st fight shown on hbo or ppv in the u.s. wasn't until ledwaba in 2001. that was our 1st time seeing pac for most of us over here in the u.s. and he had already been working with roach.
i think he had a few fights on like espn or prime ticket back in the 112 days too not sure but people ain't gonna remember those fights. he wasn't even champ yet i don't think.Comment

At 130, Floyd beats Pacquiao soundly. No KO, but Pacquiao was a face first brawler at 130. Look at how he performed against Marquez. When Marquez backed up and boxed him instead of trying to engage, he beat Pacquiao pretty handily. And Floyd is clearly the slicker counterpuncher between the two. He would hammer Pac-Man, and at that weight, Floyd was a pretty good puncher. Pacquiao would get hurt, maybe even dropped once or twice on the way to a wide UD.Comment

Well depends on which PAC and Mayweather you are talking about?
The old jab jab left hook Pac would definitely lose to Mayweather...The new Pac IMO would beat/KO Mayweather right now.
IMO Mayweather reached his peak before he retired and that JMM fight shown he might be at a slight downslope(didnt knock out a fat slow blown up LW) and Pac is reaching/at his peak of his career.
If both fighters were to fight in their Prime would be great and close match but I still will go with my boy Pac.Comment

KO'd....he would get hit way too many times at 130.....Pac at 130 is not in floyds league at 130......147 is a different story.........Comment
