Floyd-Pacquiao advantages/disadvantages

[fanjohn]

not really, IMO Mayweather puts combo's together better than Manny, and he has a wider variety of punches, he knocked Hatton out throwing a hook on the backfoot, i don't see Manny being able to do that, seeing how he basically lunges in and puts all of his body weight/force into his shots

Putting everything on equal terms, Pacquiao put on a much better offensive performance on their common opponents (Oscar and Ricky). Pacquiao also throws punches in bunches from weird angles and position. That's why I considered his offense more lethal compared to Floyd.

again DLH was a lot farther along when he took on Pacquiao than when he fought Mayweather

and Mayweather hit Marquez a lot more, a lot harder, and with a wider variety of punches than Pacquiao ever had, it's not just one way buddy

It's 2 (Oscar & Ricky) against 1 (JMM) so at minimum, Pacquiao has the edge.

Pacquiao is also well known to destroy his opponents by winning via KO/TKO. He has a higher KO percentage compared to Floyd. You have to give the "offense" factor to Pacquiao even if it's only a slight advantage.
