If Pacquiao is considered by some to be an exposed fraud and mentally retarded fighter with no quality attributes aside from athleticism, who was thoroughly embarrassed by a lightweight, they shouldn't rate a Mayweather victory over him all that high, let alone bump him all that much up the ATG list.

![]() Some people go a little too far over one fight. It depends on what falls under the umbrella of ring IQ; his feints are very fast and sudden and his counterpunching decent. He has trouble cutting off the ring but that's not his style. He has good punching variety but at times such as in this fight he will tend to head hunt unless the combo he throws includes bodyshots because he practiced them like that. If he was just a ranked amateur and not P4P1 his ass would have been knocked out, but he's not and didn't so that should mean something. Marquez obviously has a high opinion of him, but we all know a bunch of dudes behind computers know more about boxing than Marquez right. ![]() |

To answer the question, Pacquiao follows mapped out gameplans very well. He's not a thinking man's fighter who can adapt, adjust, and change tactics on the fly when things go wrong with the plan. In those instances, he either ups the intensity or lowers his workrate.

When you're that deluded I don't think you're even aware of reality when it's going against you, the sad thing is i'm sure he believes everything he says his fragile mind has created a safe area where he can escape to.

Worded what I was going to say better than I probably would have. It's not his style IMO, he's not needed it due to the athleticism and competition. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it, they just fucked up and fought JMM. Should have continued fighting opponents who wouldn't make him think in the ring.

And why would they want Floyd to face Pac now then? A guy coming off a loss and terrible performance (to them). it's the same shit they complained about for Pac for years now. But, as some said, THEY want it now, as if that excuses the shit so many have said.
