According to Oscar De La Hoya it's the jab.
In the recent Mayweather/Pacquiao: The Legends Speak, De La Hoya said:
"For me when I fought Mayweather the jab was the key. Mayweather does not know how to block a jab"
Oscar went on to say that Manny's left straight will be his main weapon in this fight.
So is Mayweather really as susceptible to the jab as De La Hoya is suggesting ? If so does Manny have the tools to exploit this taking into account his reach and height disadvantage ?

"Well both fighters weigh in the same during the weigh ins so what distinguishes size? Height and frame of course.
Why do people say Floyd is the bigger man against manny? Because of his height and frame.
Floyd is a comfortable welterweight i will agree."

How much they usually weigh on fight night, how much they walk around at and how ripped they are at the weight.
Manny will weigh less than Floyd tonight and tomorrow night, I guarantee you that.

I just told you, you can only 'look' bigger, you can't see weight.
Manny will come in well under 147, I expect Floyd to come in at 147 on the dot and weigh a lot more on fight night.

I prefer Manny to come in lighter, he's already faster than Floyd, if he comes in very light the speed advantage will get bigger

I can't see there being a stoppage in the fight, Manny's needs to be to outwork Floyd. The lighter he is, the more speed he has, which means his punches will be harder to see and therefore have a bigger impact.
Floyd wasn't 148 against Maidana, look at his abs at the weigh in and then on fight night. This is what I was telling you earlier how how ripped they look. If you put on a lot of weight, your muscles aren't as visible.

Well I don't need no 'official' stats to tell me anything, I've got eyes.

You telling me he's only put on a couple of pounds there? If you drink a bottle of water you will put on a couple pounds. That's not enough to completely transform your abs...
Anyway Floyd is a compulsive liar so it's not surprising to see him lie even about the most basic things like his fight night weight...
If you ask him his favourite TV show he will probably lie, it's in his nature.
