    Yes, Pac is a one trick pony, rhe's very repetative, It's amazing that JMM took so many fights to walk him into a right hand. Floyd has a lot more going for him than pac does, I'll never understand why Floyd fears him so.

    Pacquiao is an underrated technician, but his dominance has more to do with his athleticism than his skill set, IMO.

    Speed, combinations from awkward angles, a good chin and high workrate. He makes a lot of mistakes but there's not a lot of guys who can capitalize on them.

    Exactly. I will tell you this right now, no one and I mean no current fighter can fight like pacquiao and win the fights he has. Just like no one can fight like Jones and get away with it. He has once in a generation physical attributes and his skills are honed to perfection for those attributes.

    If you re-read, again I'm talking about the last 2 minutes of round 6 that I said Marquez turned the tide toward him and started to dissect Pacquiao in the those last 2 minutes of that round. Marquez really controlled distance, pace, his defensive waist movements during that span was phenomenal.
    Marquez was shooting out and landing that right hand hard, as well as pumping a hard jab every now and then to keep Pacquiao tamed and guessing.
    This is Marquez the last 2 minutes of that round, the exact time frame where some of you keep insisting Marquez was getting battered and that Pacquiao got careless going in for the kill.

    I know you were talking about the last minute of the fight. Again....if you think that's Juan "Dissecting" Manny then we don't have the same definition as it pertains to boxing. The only phenomenal thing he did was connect perfectly at the end of the round.

    The last minute or so of the 6th was slow after a very brutal first half of the 6th round where Juan got his nose broke, banged up and bruised. PAC was still high off that and he was still looking to regain that success he had in the 1st half of that round all the way to the end.
