    Forget the fact that he doesnt fight the best.

    What part of his game is he lacking- chin, power, heart, skill, footwork, countering, adapting his gameplan- does he have it all?

    Bad hands. Safety first which sometimes leads to low workrate....


    About it.

    He can do both of those when he wants to.

    any pro boxer can do any of the things you listed against the proper opponent. Even Malignaggi has 5 KOs. PBF can only do the some of the things listed when the opponent allows him to.

    no because he can do it at a world class level.

    he was offensive and opened up against hatton and coralles.

    think of what u just wrote...think hard...ANYONE IN BOXING can do what PBF can??? he has fought every type of fighter...JLC is the same as AM....corrales....ODH...hatton...he has adapted to all of them....there is nothing the man can't do...low workrate is fine if the other guy NEVER hits you????:deal

    I would be willing to bet he could throw 5 punches better than any boxer out there...he doesn't have to ...and he never will have to because noone will ever make him

    Keeping his hands down. Lucky he still is young. That sh#t will be out the door when he gets older. Waiting too long to throw a combination. Hesitates to pull the trigger. Other than that, everything seems to be intact. Footwork, defense, balance........:good

    He hasn't fought anyone like Quartey or Forrest, a tall outboxer who's game is based off a stiff jab. He hasn't fought anyone like Pacquiao, a speedy relentless southpaw who constantly moves in and out, he hasn't fought anyone like Tszyu. Etc.

    lol...he keeps one hand down and it will never be a bad thing...he has the same type of defense as toney.....these are not flaws as they have never cost him a fight...what if he didn't hesitate and walked into a punch? he knows how to box

    so all fighters are at the same skill level...it all just depends who they fight??? do u seriously think any of the people u named can beat PBF....if he fights a guy with a quartey jab then u will see combos and he will counter and out jab them...this would be his toughest test...a quartey type which is why I can't understand why margo is even mentioned with pbf...and there is no other pac....he is one of a kind
