    Pac is just as much of a headhunter if not more than Donaire is. Pac doesn't pick his shots nor does he switch up his attack he always goes to the head.

    i never said pac didn't have skill i just think donaire is the more well rounded fighter. really just an opinion just as others have said the same, and others have said differently

    and pac is just as much a head hunter as donaire is.

    That's bull**** man. That left straight to the body is arguablly his best punch.

    Pac has shown to have a body attack every now and then, most notably against Clottey.

    He also throws that left down the pipe to the body very good, hurting many opponents with it, like Morales and Margo for example.

    He had no choice against Clottey he had the ear muffs up and his mid section was there for the talking. I'm surprised that he didn't go on an exclusive body attack from round 3 on he probably would have gotten Clottey out of there if he did.

    From what I can see it is. The same for Martinez.

    It's how he broke down Oscar, Margo, etc, etc.

    It's more difficult to land it on certain opponents like Bradley and Marquez, but I will agree with you that he probably should have concentrated more on Marquez body, but Marquez is so sharp that it's a huge risk.

    He has more skills than Pacman. Much better technical boxer. Pacman was more athletic and had better effective aggression and finishing skill.

    The left to the body and the right hooks are the ones that stand out. When he's got an opponent cornered is where he really commits.

    To be completly fair, Pacquiao seemed to have more of a body attack when he was in the lighter weights i think. At the higher weight he became more of a head hunter, but would still go to the body every now and then.

    Nonito is about to fight the most technically skilled boxer in boxing other than Floyd and Ward. Nonito has proven himself against ATG fighters already. So you don't think Darchy or Arce will be ATG? Okay that is fine. In that case Pac has beaten the greater fighters but I think Nonito has beaten more skilled and more difficult fighters.

    Rigondeux is really hard to beat. Nishioka was really hard to beat. The series of fighters he has been walking through for the last few years are all extremely difficult to beat and there is no guarantee a prime Pacquiao would have beaten them all.
