    I remember before the Cotto fight, I said Pacquiao was more skilled than Cotto. Many dissagreed with that statement. His skills are underrated.

    This is a joke, right? I've read your posts. You don't know ****. :patsch

    An eighth rate poster thinks he's up on game? That's new.

    Despite what a lemming nobody halfwit like yourself believes he's come to learn from reading the posts of people who are actually intelligent, alot of people out there, "haters" some would call them, STILL refuse to acknowledge the technical prowess of Manny Pacquaio.

    Sit down and STFU. Geek.

    :lol: People are picking Pac to win because of his angles and speed. Clearly the general boxing public already knows Manny is highly skilled. Add on to that that Roach is known for coming up with a game plan specific to each opponent.

    I dont think anyone truely knowledgeable considers Pac to be a brawler these days.

    i think the thing about pac is that anyone can listen to a plan but few can execute those orders in the heat of a world title fight like he can. that along with his speed aggression and conditioning make him a godarn fightin machine. he is open to some counters however as shown by marquez but then again he is one hell of a counter puncher

    wow, Pac has skillz? really, thanks Forbes for telling us this. The issue was never did Pac have skills its was can he handle crafty slick boxers that have no problem fighting off the back foot behind a jab or straight. He had trouble with Marquez twice and turned down fights with Raheem and Guzman, that leaves some to wonder is that the big hole in his gameplan and as of late all of Pac's opponents have been come forward attackers.

    So a boxer at the Wild Card says Manny is the man? Really? Please.

    I like Forbes, but what else was he going to say?
