If you look at the rankings the top 5 fighters p4p are actually all counterpunchers. People will say that manny isn't a counterpuncher but if you watch the margarito fight, the best success that manny had is when Margarito threw punches and manny countered with combinations. Floyd obviously a counterpuncher. Nonito Donaire-big counterpuncher, Martinez-ambush style counterpuncher, and Marquez-always been a counterpuncher. I think manny will have more success against floyd if he employs a counterpunching mindset and waits for floyd to throw punches so he can counter with combinations, if he gets aggressive and goes after floyd it will probably look sloppy just like it did against Mosley. Anyone have any thoughts?
I didn't say he was strictly a counterpuncher but he can be a counterpuncher, evidence is in the Cotto fight and the Margarito fight. He changed up his tactics because seek and destroy doesn't always work
True. Manny has the speed to counterpunch. But he shouldnt try it against Mayweather (as if theyll ever fight) because May can counter-counter-punch.
At THIS level MOST FIGHTERS CAN COUNTERPUNCH.. U GOT TO REMEMBER THERE 1000 FIGHTS A MONTH THAT GO ON WITH NO NAMERS.. GUYS WHO ARE 32-88 OR 7-29, THAT WE DON'T SEE.. AT THIS LEVEL (THE TOP) MOST FIGHTERS CAN COUNTERPUNCH. I DO NOT SEE PAC AS MUCH OF A COUNTER PUNCHER..NOT HIS STYLE...:deal SERGIO IS NOT MUCH OF A COUNTER PUNCHER IMO EITHER... ALL "CAN" COUNTERPUNCH BUT NOT ALL THEIR STYLES ARE A "COUNTERPUNCHING STYLE"
