    He can only fight at one range is a head hunter can't adjust has no jab how is that multi dimensional? I think you need to educate yourself before saying that.

    Pac is one dimensional he's just freakishly athletic and that good at what he does. Problem is he doesn't show you anything different and you can pick up on his rhythm if you have good timing....I believe he has every physical advantage over JMM except maybe reach and he struggled with him because he didn't show JMM anything different all 4 fights....you cant do that with technicians like he and Floyd....they are going to give you a lot of trouble or beat you.

    Pacquiao has always been a fighter that relied on his athleticism.

    He throws the same combination over and over. It's always right jab, right jab, straight left.

    Like people have said, he can only fight at one range. Look how lost he was when Bradley clinched him in their rematch.

    yop...that's a good point about his same combo and that he's only effective from mid-range.

    This is the best way to explain him. He's 2 dimensional although those 2 dimensions are very good.

    Hagler, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Roy, Nunn, Mccallum, Old (younger) Bernard, Oscar, Younger Floyd, Tito, Marquez, these are all multi dimensional fighters. Pacquiao never was.

    Don't forget, he cannot defend neither.

    Key Word "multi-dimensional". How can you consider a fighter multi-dimensional if the lack defensive skills.

    Being talented in multiple areas isn't the same as multi-dimensional.

    you don't go up 8 weight classes dominating wining 4 lineal championships in 4 weight classes/FOTD countless fighter of the year awards, p4p king

    you dont achieve all that by being one dimensional

    one dimensional is someone like ruslan,rios

    out of 70 fights Pac has only had issues with marquez all the greats have had kryptonites
