I just re-watched the fight. Some thoughts:
1) literally once per round in 4-8, Oscar came up with a flurry of 4 or 5 straight punches, thrown fast with decent technique and accuracy. So where the fuck was that the other 2:50 of each round? I can understand old fighters fighting in flurries, but he literally threw ONE flurry per round. That's unbelievable
2) Pac is beatable. The first time I was focused on how good Manny was, this time I focused on how bad Oscar was. Manny showed better head movement and better lateral footwork, but not to the degree I had thought. I think he beats Hatton since Hatton is also a straight in-and-out puncher with low head movement and is available to hit. I think Pacquiao out-quicks Hatton and wins on volume, Mayweather Sr needs at least a year to mold Hatton into an all-around boxer.
3) Im more convinced PBF beats Pac, especially if it's 147. PBF would be surprised by Pac's speed and maybe lose 4 of the first 6 rds, but he would figure him out and dominate the latter half. Pac is still too simple to beat someone as dynamic and intelligent as Floyd Jr.
4) JMM can beat Pac (for the third time), in the unlikely scenario Pac moves back to 135. Pac was still too straight in-and-out and predictable, Marquez can still time his counters as he has. The higher the weight, the more advantage to Pac. I love JMM, but at 140 he'd be a certain loser.
