Pac's skills underrated?

LOL they won't have time to think if there are punches coming to their faces.

And GUZMAN? LOL!!!!! He would only win a 100m sprint dash with a FATTY burger tied in front of his face.

 

Here people only think a fighter is skilled when he is slick, most people dont see there is more than just defense or just footwork.

Pac is every bit as skilled as someone like Floyd, he just does things differently.

 

Pac is good, but I don't think Pac is on the same level as Mayweather. I don't believe that DLH or Hatton could have stood up to any of the top 5 welters. Both of them looked horrible. I give Pac credit, but I think there is a lot of hype surrounding those wins.

So in essence I don't think the questions have been answered. Mayweather will change the game plan up mid fight if need be. I don't know if Pac will be able to.

 

Yes . . . absolutely under rated.

Most people thinks he just got lucky . . . (ALL THIS TIME) . . . what they fails to see is the ability of the guy to rise higher and be able to adjust to all opponents being brought in front of him.

The guy just keeps on improving on every fight.

 

Pac is skilled. Defense is part of the game, but it's not everything. Pacquiao is a come forward guy and he might not be a defensive wizard but he doesn't just try to walk through your punches. It's not like Margarito, or Andrade.

Anyway it doesn't matter though, so called "no skilled" fighters have beat the crap out of "skilled" ones. Just look at the Andrade fight. He who lost to Bute, but KO'd him and was unlucky. Bute has much more "skill", yet was barely able to survive. :S

 

Pac's skills are sorely underrated on here because most people have a very reductive idea of what boxing is all about. If you have a slick boxing style, you are "skilled". If you don't conform to that one specific style, you are "limited" or "flawed" or "one-dimensional". It never dawns on these people that the "limited" fighter might be so effective at what he does that he would destroy a far slicker boxer. A good example of this was Mijares-Darchinyan.

Pacquiao has evolved a great deal since he first tangled with Barrera, Marquez and Morales. His improved footwork and head movement have made him far far harder to hit, and he has so much more variation to his attack now. Right now, he is one of the most skilled fighters in the world, and has maybe THE best footwork and movement.

 

Foreman is as one dimensional as they come. But that's one ****ing good dimension. :rofl

 

For example floyd cant exchange punches with world class operators whilst ducking and slipping at the same time.

 

mind if i borrow this for my sig? u really had it spot on..:good

 

Guzman !!! Ha !!!

 

Yes even ricky hatton underrated his skills. During one of the 24/7 episodes when ricky hatton visited the mayweather's house to drink some cool aide, they showed one of the episode of the 24/7 and it showed pac training with roach. Ricky said pacquiao does the same punch over and over.

He found out quickly on may 2nd that pac is very good

 

good post :good

 

shot..

 

Yes very underrated which is good cuz it makes his opponents take him lightly. Delahoya and Hatton surely under estimated pac and we all know what happen.
