Rank Manny Pacquiao's Technical skill from 1-10

An 8

 

8.

Very good at what he does but can be countered easily enough and is often off balance when he misses with his wild combos as seen in the Marquez fights. MAtched against the right guys, guys who aren't really slick counter fighters, hes awesome.

As an offensive fighter, it doesn't get a whole lot better but all around, he has some flaws.

 

Somewhere in between. Feels like a 7 or an 8, the rest is heart and toughness.

 

I gave him a 7 but has improved to an 8 with his foot work .His speed also makes up for allot of the technical flaws he has .

 

A 7 overall . No defense, off balance . Can't cut off the ring. No inside fighting. Lunges in like Ricky Hatton. If he wasn't fighting the same element of fighters there would be a better picture painted on Manny. The punching bags and paycheck collectors he's been fighting lately only give a limited view. Anyone looks great against limited competition .

 

7.

 

6 tops.

 

8. Definitely above average, has good punching technique, knows how to set up shots and counter well, well rounded; he just lacks certain fundamentals that would make him a pure technical master, but in some ways they augment his effectiveness when combined with his raw physical talents and unconventional style.

 

8 out of 10

 

I say 7... I got his G level about the same as Steve Urkel though

 

so does that shyt up in him

 

Its funny how Manny becomes ineffective if someone doesn't exchange with him and so happens to move a bit. I voted 7 but I want to change it to six.

 

Pac's great because of his style. Just like Ali was, Just like Duran was. Technical skill is only a fraction of what makes a fighter great. There's hundreds of boxers who are " technically " better than Pac but wont ever come close to the fighter Pac.

 

The point is determining just that, his technical skill. We aren't discussing his greatness or how that effects his greatness. Chill out.
