    I think the one flaw with Pacquiao is that he almost seems off balance with his shots at times- though its definitely something he's improved on.

    Great, insightful video of Nonito Donaire talking to Smitty about a flaw he worked out with Vic Darchinyan before knocking him out.

    I disagree here, to an extent.

    He has really improved the aspect of his game now. He tucks his chin behind his left shoulder and moves his head as he punches, keeping his head away from his opponents natural line of fire, therefore making it harder to hit.

    Yeah, Katsidis is still improving.

    Even as he slows I think he'll still be improving as he passes his prime.

    A British promoter really should sign him.

    Very little competition that year as there were no Cubans or Eastern Europeans. Basically every gold medal was won by an American.

    His point was more what came out of the olympics in terms of what they went on to achieve.

    It's like we were looking into a Brit Forum crystal ball :yep

    Williams, Berto and Juanma were the first names to come out of this thread and all three of them have had their flaws exposed within a year
