I don't see Pacquiao having much trouble at all against Floyd's opposition.
Not even his best opponents to date - Corrales and Castillo would stand much of a chance.
Castillo, first of all has a style incredibly suited for Pacquiao. While he's not a slow plodder like Rios, he is a come-forward fighter with not much defende. While he's great on the inside, Pacquiao's superior speed, foot-work and punching power would keep him at bay. Foyd had some trouble, mostly because he couldn't get away from Castillo (he had and still have the bad habit of staying against the ropes), Pacquiao would circle and turn him with his movement and fire rapid fire combinations - like he did David Diaz. Probably getting a stoppage on cuts or a wide decision.
Corrales would be more dangerous, but Pacquiao was a real puncher at featherweight and his chin was very suspect and so was his defense against the straight left. Pacquiao's best chance would be to blast him out in the first rounds, wich i think he would be able to do.
