One shot. And the complexion of the game can turn in pac's favor. Work rate mate. Floyd can run. but can he run for 12 rounds?

Are you sure about this? Floyd coming forward? againts Pacquiao? You must be thinking of someone else

He had success because because Manny stood there and tested the left hooks and uppecuts. For Psy purposes if i may state

uLOL that wont happen hahahha

Back him up at your own risk - Larry Merchant
1. Mayweather has a way better chin than Hatton or Cotto and he's 10x harder to hit cleanly.

2. Watch Mayweather any other southpaw.

3. Pacquiao didn't stand there against Marquez, who hit him continually with ease. That same Marquez is slower, smaller, and less accurate than Mayweather as was painfully evident in their fight.

4. Larry Merchant is a fucking idiot. When Cotto was coming forward and staying cautious he was beating Manny, when he opened up tried to trade, he was getting beaten up by Manny.
