    End of story.
    Hatton took a lot of floyds counter punches.They finally caught up with him and he was knocked out.But pacquiao gets wild when he throws though so their is many openings.

      Agreed.

      The danger doesn't sit in the power of the shots Pac will be taking at all, if that was the case, he would have nothing to worry about. But, when Cotto and co were hitting him, it was often the case that he was asking to be hit... he was begging Clottey to hit him, he stood on the ropes and allowed Cotto to **** away, in short, he knew when they were coming. Floyd, however, will be looking to catch him off guard, when his balance is off center, when he's stepping in, in the middle of flurries, the accurate fast shots will be more likely to hurt Manny because he won't see them coming as easily, and Floyd is more likely to drop Pac due to his speed and his ability to catch Pac when he's throwing, or when he's just thrown and isn't on balance.

          I don't find the counter punch comparison between JMM and Floyd holding much weight as reason for why Floyd beats Manny, it certainly is a blueprint for him but not a definitive reason to why he will beat him.

          JMM was so effective because he was prepared to stand there and trade at every exchange, Floyd wont be, most of the time he tries to deflect shots away with his shoulder rolling which although is and looks impressive, doing it against the best offensive fighter in the sport and not getting caught is another story. He also waits for fighters too gas out, Manny won't, he is relentless.
