    I think that of all the fighters I have seen (though I used to watch from the late 70s till the 90s (stopped there) and only to be resuscitated by Pacquiao...Pacquiao has improved tremendously, learned a lot, improved a lot and adapted good working habits and style in a very short time.

    This is the key to any fight.

    Who can adapt/change and execute techniques flawlessly.

    Mayweather has been on a very high level of boxing for a while but I don't see him improving, instead his offense have dropped a tad or two. But having said that, he is still a force to be reckoned with.

    Mosley is still a formidable bruising brawler/boxer type of a fighter and don't know if he really digressed as much over time. Obviously he has gotten older but he still is sharp from the Margarito fight.

    And so with Pacquiao, not to be a "nut-hugger" but I haven't seen anyone who has transformed himself and scarily in the last 3 years! And thus his style has evolved and continue to evolved into a relatively more complete fighter than his ole' RIGHT JAB-STRAIGHT LEFT CROSS fighter.

    If anything, his footwork has gotten better in his lateral movement most specially moving to the his left. He is a master at moving to his right and underneath to counter with left/right combo from weird angles and now with tremendous strength.

    But if anything I would love him to fight Mayweather as a master defender. I would love to see how Pacquiao would solve the ever-mind-boggling defense of Mayweather's shoulder roll (susceptible against southpaws), fades, bob and weaves.

    Mayweather's lunging left hooks leads are formidable as well as his right crosses (seemingly his favorite). This right cross would give Pacquiao some fits and thrown from a very defensive position it would be very hard to defend.

    And so against Mayweather, Pacquiao would have to:

    • cut off the angle
    • beat Mayweather with his lateral footwork to his left
    • body punches
    • and well timed counters

    But Pacquiao would have to use his LEFT CROSSes and LEFT HOOKS/UPPERCUT in a very well timed manner. Footworks would do wonders opening it up as well as feints.
    floyd has trouble against southpaws and speed, especially if he's being aggressive

        fact is anyone can be beaten,all it takes is one real good punch and he is out.someone like mayweather who's defense is second to none is almost impossible to knockout,he still is capable of losing like the rest though,and his win against castillo 1 was questionable.there's no doubting that pacquiao is a lot better than he was all those years ago when he lost but you never know.

              Every southpaw that he has faced, he dominated them.
