Rios was laughing at pacs punches throughout the whole fight.
Moseley said that pac does not hit as hard as floyd.
This is not a "who hits the hardest fight".
This is about a speedy powerful southpaw by the name of manny pac who CAN overwhelm fighters with his movement, power and persistence.
We can argue that he beat a past it hatton and a weight drained cotto or a post Moseley margarito but these fighters would still have been an issue at that time for anyone else in the welterweight divison.
As the fight get closer it is still very evident that manny is the best opponent for floyd at this time and with speed and movement he will cause floyd trouble.
The problem is that floyd will be super sharp in this fight and those clustering manny punches are waiting to be countered.
The real problem that manny has is that he has been too loyal to Freddie roach and another trainer could have shown/taught another side of manny that would correct his faults and be a much more complete fighter than the one we see today.
Remember, floyd has the mind frame of a winner and the adjustments he can make are truly amazing.
Manny has 5 losses and a draw against a guy he put down 3 times in the first round!
Get ready for the cramps excuse around the 6-7th round and manny fighting for the last minute of each round like he did against an injured bradley.
This might sound harsh but we could be looking at manny doing a "no mas" around the 9th round after the constant pot shotting and countering that leaves him in an embarrassed cramped daze.
