      Guys with left hook and mediocre right hand
      Rios
      Bradley
      Shane
      Clottey
      Margarito
      Cotto
      Oscar
      Diaz
      Hatton

      If you wanna talk about a fighter fighting the same style
      Pac fought Marquez 4 times, so your theory that he stays away from good counter punchers is a myth. The truth is there are very few good counter punchers at 140/147 atm.

      Pac has fought guys with good speed and footwork as well as guys with power and aggression. Can't say the same about Floyd.

        shane, bradley and cotto have good right hands. but that list has a lot of different styles of fighters to it unlike floyd.

          Some people say that Khan could beat Floyd, but I think Floyd would manage to find a way to win.

            If you wanna talk about a fighter fighting the same style
            shane mediocre right hand nearly sparked floyd joy

            and not having a devastating right hand isn't a style

            bradley had a pretty good right hand/power in the rematch, his best shots were straights

            this is like me saying when will floyd start fighting real southpaws again, last one was judah, who's sht and he couldn't miss mayweather

            talk about same styles

            and ts, judah doesn't really have any footwork to talk of, you can get inside on him when you want(although could chances you eat some uppercuts and such till you fold him)

              I respect floyd as a fighter he has fought top level opposition but just the same style over and over again. when he has to choose between a fast fighter and flat footed opponent he chooses the latter. If he is all about the money everybody knows there are two fights that can get him alot of money which is Pac and Khan. Its not just my view that those two fighters will give floyd trouble but the vast majority of experts predict it to be an intersting fight.

                floyd has his straight which pacquiao fairly open to
                pacquiao has his left which doesn't seem to miss floyd much neither, his workrate which is another thing that has cost floyd before, pressure that will either have floyd sitting on the ropes or running and wasting stamina, and speed, i guarantee someone who isn't completely useless with his speed will own floyd

                and the footspeed to step around him, a little sidestep here or there and you have a good angle right between his shoulders

                  That's why Floyd is undefeated and manny has a few L's... Matchmaking...


                  Both guys have a preferred style to fight... Manny never had an O to product so he could be alittle more risky in matchmaking

                    And they don't have to be better fighters than Marquez and Canelo to give Floyd a good fight. Marquez and Canelo are better fighters than Maidana yet Maidana gave Floyd a much tougher fight (twice) than either of those guy.

                    Pac, Khan, Lara and even Thurman would give Floyd a hard time because they have good footwork and speed.
                    With the exception of Pac, who would want to see Floyd vs. Lara/Khan? Thurman is the new Lucas Matthyse. Another unproved power puncher that is being overhyped.

                    And Floyd did not get dropped by Zab. Officially or unofficially. If you look at it in slow motion you'll see that their feet got tangled. The only fighters to wobble or hurt Floyd were DeMarcus Corley, Shane Mosley and Maidana.
