Thats because these cats are watchin knockouts while were sitting here watching boxing

You ain't never lied.

How is he not a small WW? The man can easily make 140 still. On the weigh-ins he weighs the less out of all the top 10 WWs, Out of all the top 10 WWs he is the shortest, out of all the top 10 WWs he has the shortest reach. How is he not that small?

He beat two top WWs, one of them was ranked #3. How has he not faced elite WWs?

Pacquiao has only faced one man at the welterweight limit.

Pacquiao has defeated three men within the welterweight limit and one had to come down to a weight he hadn't fought at in nearly 9 years, another had to go to a catchweight, and the third was a legitimate contender in name recognition, but was ranked #7 by the WBO, and not in the top 10 for any other governing body.

All I want to know why do you want to forget the Malignaggi fight for Hatton?

Because that was a poor vrsion of malignaggi where hatton

a) didn't see the best boxing skill that one-handed paulie had to offer, and

b) didn't have to worry about the pillow fight that Paulie would throw at him

[wizard king]

well its offical roach is a shaking ******. this match is such a joke that its a mismatch may will destroy pac

[Khalid X]

No need for the leaping left hook until Pac is softened up. Jabs, straight rights, jabs downstairs, get inside. Repeat.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez II

I can see Floyd using this technique.

What made that version of Malignaggi poor?

Because, he had one good hand? That is how the majority of his fight is. A one handed Malignaggi could not beat a SHOT Hatton?

How did I miss this gem of a thread.

Lot of dumb comments in here so far.

[IMDAZED]

I can see Floyd trying this technique.

Definitely. Except he is worlds better than Marquez at it. Worlds. Not to mention is a better inside fighter than Marquez and Pacquiao combined. Styles make fights. And you have to listen very, very carefully. What Roach is really saying is, "If Floyd fights Manny the same way he fought Shane last Saturday, then yada yada." Any other scenario and his words carry no weight.

Clottey was ranked top 5 by the ring. The RING>Major belts rankings.

Cotto for half his fights at WW weight 146, in his previous fight before Pac he weight in at 146.

So ONE POUND made a difference from Cotto being elite or not?
