    Pac's only stylistic weakness - Mexican warriors

    Off all the recent fights since hitting the big time after Ledwaba, Manny has only really struggled against technical Mexican warriors who are adept at fighting fire with fire.

    I think this may be the one style which is too much for Pac as even boxer/movers will get hit and hurt eventually.

    Umm, ya, since them being Mexican adds to their ferocity?

    Manny has improved since he fought Barreara, Morales and Marquez. In fact, those wars made him the fighter he is today. Those fights didn't kill him, they made him stronger. And smarter.

    Umm, no, but being Mexican does help define their style. I still think Manny would struggle against a Morales type fast handed warrior who could take his punches

    Tend to agree. I said before Mexicans are the toughest coz they eat corn everyday and

    I was right after all. They are the ones that giv Philipinos the most trouble in this sport..

    OK mate don't take it too far!

    The style that is obviously popular in Mexico from a young age just works well if someone can use it at a World class level. There is no one like that currently fighting except Marquez. I do think that it is definitely a distinctive style though.

    People talk about the Hatton, DLH, Cotto wins, but the best boxers P4P Pac has beaten were the 3 Mexicans.

    The fights with the Mexicans were the greatest and those are the fights that made him great.

    But you can't deny that Marquez and Morales wer much tougher fights than Hatton, Cotto and DLH (yes i know he's Mexican but a different style and past peak)
