    ask yourself this, is Pacquiao a harder puncher at welter then Mosley? Call me crazy but I couldn't see Pacquiao knocking out Margarito.

    Pacquiao at 147 hasn't really been a one shot ko person he is more of a pressure and overwhelm kind of person. So I'm not sure if Pacquiao has the single shot power of Shane Mosley.

    So probably yes but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. At least not like Mosley did.
    may not be as hard as mosley's but i think a bit faster so the effect could be similar. another thing with more speed, it's likely to stun your opponent since you're hitting him with punches he's not seeing.

    Very true but when I think about Floyd vs Pacquiao i see Floyd hitting Pacquiao with shots he wouldn't see coming rather then the other way around.

    Floyd seems to be really good at adjusting whereas Pacquiao seems to have a Plan A and if Plan A doesn't work he stays with it till it can but people say that Mayweather hasn't fought anyone as fast as Pacquiao and will get hit. Pacquiao hasn't fought anyone as fast as Floyd and even people slower hit him with moderate success. I'd be more inclined to believe that yes it could be possible, but Pacquiao catching and stunning Floyd is less likely then Floyd catching and stunning Pacquiao imo. But I haven't seen the one shot power that Shane has coming from Pacquiao. I did notice one thing though, in the Mosley fight, Mayweather completely shut down Mosley's left hand and reduced him to trying to set everything up with the right hand.

    One of Mosley's greatest and most famous punches was his signature left hook and I do not remember really seeing it once in that fight, I saw him try it but it was blocked by Mayweather. Also Mayweather hit Mosley with more lead right hands then a fighter should ever land on an orthodox.

    So if I'm looking at Mayweather who is now taking away a fighter's left hand and hitting them consistently with straight rights, I'm even more convinced that, Mayweather stunning Pacquiao is more likely.

    I have never seen someone take a straight right from Mosley to the chin like that and not be out.

    If Floyd can take Pacquiao's shot if Pacquiao manages to land it then he has major issues.

    one more thing with pacquiao is his excellent foot speed, in and out, and lateral movements. pacquiao will also throw punches from any angle, weird or not. this movements and punches in bunches at any angle might not give floyd time to set himself defensively and offensively.

    imo pacquiao has real chances but he's still a big underdog against the much bigger floyd.
