PAC has decent power nothing out of this world that Hatton ko was an anomaly, Hatton walked in with his hands down. Anybody would get flattened with a clean punch to the chin.
Any one with real objectivity and logic knows PAC would never defeat Floyd. Floyd is a master boxer and technician, he knows all the tricks of the trade, can fight going forward or backwards, side to side, best defense ever, most accurate ever, one of the best right hands in boxing, great jab, great body puncher, can fight inside and outide, can brawl, can slug out, has a great chin. PAC would get easily picked apart and broken down. PAC is shorter and physically smaller, Floyd has walked down bigger fighters. PAC is easy to land on its not even funny. Freddie roach has mentioned on numerous occasions that pac has trouble with counterpunchers which is why he can't convincingly defeat jmm in 3 diff weight classes in 8 years. Floyd made jmm look like he was a scrubb, 1 year later jmm moves back to 147 to smack up PAC :lol:

The punching power thing is disturbing but I suspect a big part of that is because he's just not as fast as he once was. Pacquiao has been slowing down for some time now. That said, he is still pretty fast when he lets his hands go. Trigger finger doesn't work that well anymore and his legs left the building some time back.
One thing I love about boxing are the stories that play out right before our eyes. Two years ago, Manny was inching toward top 10 status. Today, using hindsight, he never was at that level. But his total bungling of the Mayweather fight and wayward stance on testing, along with his suspect choice of opposition, have made fight fans forget that he remains an indisputable all-time great and a boxing legend.
