    you have to understand that as a ***** exposing the truth out about manny pacquiao especially when its negative isn't ever friendly-fire on another *****. I'm doing that ***** and the entire world a favor with this kind of fire.

    If other fighters could figure out how Pac generated such power punching like that, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

    He is so fast and get away with it, but Floyd will punish this with his reach and very good speed, and accuracy of his straight right...Pac often jumps into his punches, but his athleticism let him get away with it against most opponents!

    Lots of awkward punches here in this highlight aswell.

    You would think that actually making a thread about a guy's awkward punching style when he has beat up some notable fighters would be beyond the scope of even the most idiotic of boxing fans.

    Its no fluke. Pac hits hard. From odd angles, and at odd tempos and his timing is slightly unorthodox. That means that when exchanges typically end, Pac is still throwing. He has power. Its very tiring to deal with, as it requires more energy. For those of you that have fought, you know what I mean.

    It also hurts. Then you dont know when the next one is coming.

    Is he beatable? Of course!

    For those of you who think Money is any different in terms of picking and choosing opponents...grow up or find another game to follow. He is beatable as well, and more careful.

    They worked for him most of the time. That's why he uses them and turned them into habits.

    I see these habits being exploited hard when he fights someone with comparable or greater speed and/or good timing. Marquez who isn't that fast was able to exploit these habits.

    The punches come from weird angles but also leave him more exposed. This is usually fine as he has had a big speed advantage over his opponents. What happens when his speed doesn't hold as much weight?
     
  11. This is it, we are yet to see it as recently his choice of opponents has been some what questionable, his last 8 opponents have all been seriously flawed, barring Marquez, in some way or another shot/weightdrained/coming off a massive loss/slow etc etc, we are yet to see this welterweight Pacquiao fight a good in his prime fast fighter capable of competing with him, to make things worse Marquez as stated who is slow and old took advantages of Pacquiaos flaws makes you wonder what the upgraded version of Marquez in Mayweather will do to him...

    im guessing 80-90% of this forum picked Hatton to CRUSH Pacquiao lol. Then after that, it was Hatton's washed up, he sucked , hes slow, had trouble with lazcano, no defense, Ko'd by Gayweather, he was tailor made, hes a whiteboy, he was cherry picked, etc. lol Gotta love them "boxing fans"

    thats why folks respect Pac so much. From a brokeass flea infested Asian kid that was frying eggs on the sidewalk to one of the best unorthodox fighters ever.

    Would you rather throw a 'perfect' punch and MISS, or an awkward shot that lands? Hamed ko'd a FEW mfkrs with those awkward-ass punches. It's like a baller with perfect form and can't make a damn shot, or a guy that can leap outta' the gym, but can't time his jumps or get rebound position. Rodman couldn't jump worth **** and neither can kevin Love, bottom line, it's the END RESULTS that count.

    Exactly. He can get away with these punches with his speed fighting shot fighters, and fighters who have slowed down or have been ruined...But JMM and even a prime Morales have shown us he can't do that against a technically skilled fighter who isn't damaged.
