He didnt get destroyed against Morales , losing 115 - 113 three times is a very close fight . And you are saying that he is exactly the same but moves his head more and now uses his right hand , that means he is completely different . Stick to eating crayons.
He did, he was still in process of perfecting that right hook, or "manila ice". I remember Roach harping on about that secret weapon for the upcoming Morales fight. Velasquez is probably a worse opponent than Diaz, yet you can see the vast skill difference in how he handles the 2. Pac is a much more complete fighter in the higher weights, although without the same speed and power.

:deal Considering 140 was hatton's domain, pacquiao showed no respect for him WHATSOEVER. From the first second hatton was just getting hammered. I think that fight is a showcase fight though rather then his best fight to watch. The first EM fight was epic, Pacquiao showed in that fight that he had very high ATG attributes which would eventually emerge.
In terms of overall ability, Pacquiao vs Marquez II was simply an unbelievable fight. I've never seen a live fight with so much pound for pound ability in the ring.
You're necessary for ESBs amusement. People legitimate believing all of Pac's excuses as to why he probably lost is about as silly and hilarious as believing Duran quit against Leonard because of cramps. It's almost as bad as believing the Duran got knocked out by Hearns because of all that achohol that got trapped in his head from the partying and Hearns just hit him on the top of the head to knock him out. The blood-drawing can not be responsible for Pac's "obvious power loss." He either had a off-night or Morales has a great chin and was talking ****. The gloves is a difference, but it won't turn you into Malignaggi. Also I loved how the over-stating of Pac being "one-dimensional." Roach was bragging about his Manilla Ice right. Against Marquez in 2004 he got a draw. In 2008 they rematched in which most viewers and ringside reporters/experts thought Marquez won. Was Pac still just as "one-dimensional" within that time period or did Marquez just happen to age and get equally better?
I've never been the biggest fan of Pac, but my favorite fight was the Ledwaba fight. The raw power and aggression was fantastic to see. I also liked how in tune Freddie was to his fighter, he basically promised Manny that if he doubled up the jab and threw the straight left that he could get Ledwaba out of there, and he did. It was unique to see a fighter have that much faith in his trainer that it was if Pacquiao knew Roach wouldn't lead him astray. So many fighters zone out their trainers in a big fight, and it was refreshing to see at the time. Plus, Manny had an awful blond hair style and a huge cheesy smile. Truly a rough diamond at the time.
Why do you use strong terms like "destroyed" or "got beaten the **** out of" for Pacquiao's hard-fought fights? Does it make you feel better, dip****? Well, Pacquiao destroyed Morales in the next two fights no mater what, so yeah.
