Floyds win over Oscar was more impressive considering the circumstances. At 154 with Oscar coming off the brutal KO of Mayorga. Pacquiao beat a half dead looking Oscar who looked terrible vs Stevie Forbes in the previous fight, his facial bones were exposed, thats how drained he was.

And the fact that Pacquiao NEEDS to land the perfect punch is why Arum doesnt want the fight to happen. Manny will NOT land anything flush. Floyd takes away his opponents strenghts. Oscar couldnt land one left hook on him until the last ten seconds of round 12. Shane never landed a right hand after round 2. And Maidanas looping right hand never found its target. Whatever your signature punch is, Floyd will take it away from you. Pacquiao is really a one handed fighter, his straight left is what fighters lookout for. He has no jab whatsoever.

Floyd tramples Pacquiao in lopsided fashion.

floyd jr has always had power in both hands. he just does'nt fight that way. when he's not using his foot movement to tire out his opponents.he's walking them down.De la hoya,hatton,guerrero,mosley,alvared,cotto,and maidana all said that he's stronger than he looks.

Pacquiao just throws fast combos from angles that you don't see them coming.
I think that the punches you don't see tend to do more damage. Floyd has very under rated power IMO. He just don't like risking enough that's all.

Wut. Algieri landed flush. Several times. Pac literally walked through them right hands throwing punches. Even Bradley managed to shake Pac up with an overhand right, but Algieri wasn't even denting him.

No KO of Pac for Algieri.

Well Algieri only has 8 KOs. Bradley just 12. . What Pacquiao will have to deal with vs Floyd is the laser like accuracy. Pacquiaos defense is trash so Floyd wont be missing much.

Yeah I rewatched Pacquiao vs Cotto last night with British commentary and it didn't seem like Cotto had much of a problem with the punches of Pacquiao, it seemed more like the accumulation of punches are what broke Cotto down.

If you watch the one with HBO commentary they made it seem like Pac was this unstoppable monster when he really isn't. The fight takes on a whole different perspective with different commentating.

Idk I disagree. I think from the minute Pac started landing it surprised Cotto and he immediately started covering up and trying to pick his shots.

I'm calling bs

So either oscar is back on the coke...or his really trying to sell the **** out of this fight. Its embarrassing for a man who was having his face reconfigured, looked lost in the ring,and had to quit on his stool,to say something along the lines of Pacquiao not having much power. If that's the case,and Pacquiao doesn't hit that hard,then why did you quit Oscar? Couldn't you have taken PACs soft hits for 12 rounds?

yeah, margarito also said pacman wasn't hurting him, and we know how that one ended
