by the way everyone including me always say marquez, but can it be that pacquiao evolved in a different fighter at welter so that is even harder to beat him or another style is needed?
1. Manny Pacquiao, under the guidance of trainer Freddie Roach, uses a light jab with his right hand that, as a decoy, does little damage. This light jabbing style is merely a set up for the Filipino's devastating straight left. Morales suggests that Pacquiao's habit of lunging forward with his left leaves a big gap with which an opponent like Margarito can make the Filipino icon pay a heavy price. 2. An opponent would need to create the proper spacing by stepping back on his backfoot, and then counter Pacquiao with a right punch over the top (of Manny's left). This should immediately be followed by aggressive combinations. Morales adds that an opponent should periodically back up against Pacquiao. That enables the opponent to get leverage, and to shock an unsuspecting Manny with the right counter. 3. An opponent can neutralize Manny's right jab with a left straight counter, by spacing himself to Manny's right side. (Margarito possesses a 73" reach while Pacquiao has a 67" reach.) Morales hints that counterpunching Pacquiao is a way to keep him at bay, and that a savvy opponent should continuously circle around to the Filipino's right side in order to hurt him with left counters. 4. Morales emphasized that timing Pacquiao with precision punches, and using the power of momentum can make the Filipino whirlwind vulnerable. The Mexican legend suggests that a momentarily staggered "Pacman" is susceptible to relentless combinations that are delivered accurately. According to "El Terrible," an opponent needs to keep attacking Pacquiao once he is hurt. What Joshua Clottey did, by only delivering occasional jabs, was the wrong way to fight Pacquiao. [ Clottey lost to Pacquiao by unanimous decision in March of this year. ] Interestingly, Antonio Margarito is known for a relentless attacking style, and is a boxer considered to always come forward and pressure an opponent. 5. Finally, Erik Morales says that Pacquiao's high punch output makes him vulnerable to a straight right punch. It would need to be timed perfectly. The key to maximum effectiveness would be to deliver the blow with sufficient power. Morales thinks the element of surprise is critical against an elite fighter like Manny Pacquiao. When the Filipino moves forward, an opponent can bait him by stepping back and hurling a big right. Special thanks to Mr.Erik Morales.
A fighter who can dodge his flurry of punches and counter well with good power. Also must not be a top rank fighter. Marquez done a good job, sodid morales at lower weights. As were willing to take the fight to him. Is why again floyd is a good opponent. Can defend well and has a good work rate
If you read this you can just see floyd do his pull and counter punch on pacquiao. Problem with margarito is that he is damn slow and pacquiao is way too fast so he will never be in position to counter because pac will be already gone and he cant counter a punch because he isnt fast enough. since moving up his right became a better weapon in his arsenal. Pac just needs to be on his toes all night and he will win a ud, i really believe that. If he however decides to trade with margarito he will lose round and maybe get beaten up.
Agitate and frustrate emmanuel with a jab, counter his left with a well timed right, follow that up with some bodyshots in the pocket, then clinch to tie him up and keep safe, and rinse and repeat!
Back him up, make him miss, and punch with both hands. If you don't have a chin, you can forget it. Pac always lands his best punch on you like Hearns does win or lose.
I doubt it. If that was the case, why has he avoided every single fighter of that type since fighting Marquez? It's why all that Arum chatter about Martinez a few weeks ago made me laugh. Pac could possibly go on to take and defeat even greater challenges than he already has -- he's a genuinely brilliant fighter -- but they would never touch Martinez with a twenty-foot pole. A hard-hitting, intelligent, counter-puncher with excellent timing who can fight at middleweight? No ****ing chance.
Jab, speed, movement, counter-punching and defense. Make him pay for his carelessness coming in off balanced and wide open then out box him from the outside with the jab and go to the inside go to the body if neccesary back him up as well.
Good jab, lateral movement, good counter-punching, the ability to clinch, strong will, good chin, stamina & a sweet right hand.
I would love to see that fight though same with williams, ifhe doesnt want to stay at 154 then go back to 140 and fight guys like bradley and alexander. Besides floyd there is not much left for him except the ones stated.
