Im not saying that Pacquiao is totally without skills. Of course he has his own tools but he cetainly doesnt have as much dimensions to his game than Nonito does.. This is beyond obvious and i thought this notion was something that everybody agreed to long time ago. And c'mon man ur really gonna bring that Margarito fight as an example? When you are fighting somebody who is so much slower than you, it's easier to pull fancy moves and look more skilled than you really are and the margarito fight is a perfect example. Of course everybody has their moments and so has pacquiao when he landed those few counter punches.. Just because Paulie Malignaggi knocked out Senchenko doesn't make him a great puncher.
So Margarito is not a good example because of the level of competition he brings to the table? Think you just check-mated yourself.
Can't believe I'm about to say this but PAC is getting underrated here. Nonito is getting overrated as **** but that's nothing new. Let's put it this way. PAC of 122lbs would TRASH Nonito at that weight. :deal
If you ever spent a minute in the ring you would know that you would never get by on just speed and power. Pacquiao has many tools, and is very skillfull, hence being on top of the world for a couple of years.
Pacquiao may be reckless, but offensively he has all the required tools and fires from all cylinders. They're different type of fighters, obviously.. but lets not fool ourselves and think Manny is not incredibly skilled, he is incredibly skilled, although he has a problem adapting and he gets reckless in trying to figure out his opponents.
Nonito wont be having his three major advantages he has over all his opponents: Size, power and speed. Pac will be holding the advantages there, and Nonito's boxing skills alone wont be able to stop some one as fast, relentless, and ankward as Pacquiao. Pac overwhelms him.
Pac wasnt that awkward at 122 he was a basic jab-straight left fighter. Pac rarely sees anything coming too he just pulls back keeps his guard hope and hopes he doesnt get hit in return. especially at the lower weights when he was reckless as all hell.
