      This is the blueprint for how Pac can get even better and more difficult to beat. Not to concentrate so much on power which is sufficient enough to command respect.
      But listen to his opponents like Clottey on why it was so difficult to handle Pac. Movement, speed and positioning and try and even improve on it even more so.
      Pac must listen to what his beaten opponents say.

        He didn't feel his power because his gloves were glued to his chin all night.

          or was he afraid to be countered by some **** he couldn't see and get floored like the Cottos and the Hattons?!?......Manny landed some good body shots and good right hook early on.....if Josh felt the power, how come he kept coming forward all night Einstein.....give the man some props my dude......he didn't get blasted like them other high priced over paid cats Manny has danced with.....Joshua lost the fight but he gained alot of fans in Cowboy stadium....trust me!!

              This surprised me....did Team Pacquiao ease up on the undetectable roids?
              WTF???

              Ricky Hatton: "I felt the Mayweather fight was much tougher than the Pacquiao fight."

              Oscar delahoya: "I didnt feel his power at all. I was praying the knockout would come but it didnt"

              David Diaz: "Nah I wasnt concerned about his power but he was just too fookin fast"

                Clottey felt the power. A couple of times in the fight Pacquiao hit him with a hurtful array of punches and Clottey backed briefly into the ropes as Manny threw bombs at him, it looked like Pacquiao would stop him if he could just get through those earmuffs! but Clottey was clearly in survival mode.

                  You mean Pacquiao?

                  Please, Manny is so much busier in the ring than Floyd. Even if u believe Floyd would win, and I know a lot of people do and it's certainly possible as he's an extremely gifted fighter and technician.... he would not do it with one hand, or easily... Manny throws too many quick shots, is too awkward with in-and-out movement and combinations, his stamina is too good. No one 154 lbs or below could beat Manny with 'one hand', that's imbecilic

                    That's how Clottey always fights. The guy has the skills to be the best fighter in the division, but he doesn't show up and do what he has to.

                    I didn't expect Pac to hurt Clottey, he blocks too many punches and Pac isn't that strong. Pac couldn't hurt Clottey, no one should be surprised.

                      This is misleading.

                      Of course Clottey didn't feel Pacquiao's power. Because he kept his gloves in front of his face for 36 minutes.

                      Why was that? Because Clottey was SCARED ****LESS of Pacquiao's power.

                      If he felt Pacquiao had no power, then why not open up, even for ONE round, to try and win the fight?

                      Because he was afraid of Pac's power.
