    Once he adjusted, sure. Before that...




    That Mosley even got caught with that punch yet Floyd didn't, is a testament to Floyd's chin.

      If there wasn't any footage of that fight then I could see how you'd do that.

        manny is **** at these two offensive skills
        yeah but Floyd's offense and defense vs decent pressure fight is running, that's it,like a one trick pony

          So then, if you can't pin point where he is lacking then that's the opposite of not looking good, I could understand if it's not to your taste.

            Better than manny's lunging into his death at counterpunchers because he can't cut a ring off

                Pac has insane footspeed. His is one of the fastest boxers of all time. He shouldn't have any problem cutting the ring off on ANYONE.

                  But he does.

                  He's great at what he does, decent in other departments, and a mess in some.

                  I question how he would have fared in other eras with more diversity in styles.

                  We know counterpunching is one way to beat him. I'd favor a historically elite outfighter over him also. manny would be unable to catch the boxer.

                    Manny is simply not effective at cutting off the ring regardless of his size. All Mosely did was shuffle his feet and Pacquiao simple followed him around the ring. Pacquiao's work rate and power won him a lot of fights especially when the opponent was stationary or lingered within his punching range. Mosely showed that staying outside his range will cause him to lunge. Mosely didn't win the fight but it gave Mayweather and even Marquez a path to victory.

                      Mayweather having power at SFW and LW is common knowledge. That would be plain ******ity. Asking where is the footage of Pac fighting inside or cutting off the ring is a legit question, mainly because it never actually happened.

                      Like I said, this is your argument but you are not really showing any evidence to back up your claim that Pac was once an inside fighter who could cut off the ring.

                      I would embed it but the site keeps crashing on my phone when try to do so. I'll do so when I get home.
