shane was shot to pieces and everyone knew this but you *******s. so shane wasnt pulling the trigger b.c of manny but bc he couldnt. but what he did was show us that there has been relatively no changes in manny if hes fighting a mobile opponent.

This is professional boxing kid, everybody fights for money, the difference is, Manny gives substantial amount of his earnings to the needy in his province, thus the monicker "people's champ"...Comment

Pac going down to LW or LWW to fight Marquez would be a great fight.
Marquez going up to WW to fight Pac would not be the same.Comment

I don't agree!!! If you are talking about Cotto, that was Manny's second attempt at WW, the catchweight is 145lbs and Cotto was 146lbs in his previous match, so that's just a difference of 1lb... In the other hand, Floyd asked for a catchweight of 144lbs against a then lightweight Marquez, that's already a difference of 9lbs., but opt to cheat Marquez some more by coming in at 146lbs at the weigh in, that's clear as daylight...Comment

For the benefit of Floyd fanatics, here is Boxrec's stats for both fights. Study these carefully and learn.
Floyd/Shane
Total punches: Floyd = 208/477= 44% * Shane = 92/452 = 20%
Total power punches: Floyd = 123/267= 46% * Shane = 46/169= 27%
Pac/Shane
Total punches: Pac = 224/727 = 31% * Shane = 66/330 = 20%
Total power punches: Pac =177/353 = 50% * Shane = 22/80 + 28%
Conclusions:
1) Floyd landed less punches on Shane when compared to Pac.
2) Pac landed more power punches (177 vs 123) than Floyd and with a higher percentage landing.
3) Floyd landed more jabs on Shane than Pac (85 vs 47). This is the area where Floyd had an advantage over Pac.
4) Shane landed more punches on Floyd compared landed on Pac (92/66), but with the same percentage (20% on both).
5) Shane had more than double the power punches he landed on Floyd as compared to landed on Pac (46 vs 22).
6) Shane threw 122 less punches against Pac as compared to the punches he threw against Floyd.
7) Shane wobbled Floyd but never really bothered Pac.
8) Shane was knocked down by Pac, Floyd couldn't.
Now, Floyd fanatics, who performed better against Shane?
Remember, Shane was standing in front of Floyd most of the fight and was a better target for a supposedly more accurate boxer, who incidentally, has a much longer reach than Pac. While against Pac, Shane was mostly on the run, trying to avoid Pac's punches. Despite this, Pac was able to land more punches compared to Floyd.

Once again, Pacquiao is a volume puncher. Of course you're going to get numbers like that. It's like throwing 10 quarters and 50 pennies, which are going to land more heads, the quarters or the pennies?
Sure the pennies, but the quarters are worth more.Comment

Jabs are pennies. Power punches are quarters. Pac landed more power punches and at a higher percentage than Floyd.Comment

If Mosley can land hard shot that rock Floydie, then Pacman too, can land his own combos and hit Floydie.
Pacman has the durability to take punches from his taller and heavier opponents, then land his own combos!
He can easily do that against Floydie!Comment
