    I remember thinking Pacquiao bit off way more than he could chew, and there was no way he was going to walk through Miguel Cotto.

    Boy was I wrong.

    This is when I really realized that Pacquiao was special.

      Yes it's probably the best win of his career. How do you think this Pac does against the Mayweather that beat Marquez?

        Honestly, Styles makes fights. Marquez never had a chance in that fight because he had made a career out of boxing at range and relying on his reach advantage over most fighters.

        So him going up against Floyd who had a massive reach advantage over him, it was never going to work.

        The reason Pacquiao was able to move up so successfully is that Pacquiao always relied on his legs to get in and out so he had less problems when he was at a reach disadvantage.

        Once his legs started to go it was the end of the line for the Manny that was wrecking everyone.

        I think at that point in time, Manny's legs were still fresh enough that the fight would have been much closer with Floyd.
