manny pacquaios boxing ability is underated

Underrated? You must be joking. He is fairly valued by most that aren't nut huggers of him or Floyd.

He has decent boxing skills. He makes a lot of mistakes in the ring to be called an elite boxer.

 

Manny's boxing ability is underrated, who else has perfected the lunge into counter right better? KTFO6!

 

He looks awful when any opponent chooses not to stand there or come forward.... tell me how his boxing is underated

 

Who has Pac fought that wasn't a come forward fighter?

 

Mosley kept safe by simply stepping back, so did Bradley with to busted ankles, jmm outboxed him in 3

 

What boxing ablility??? Pac is a swarmer. And sometimes runner. Sometimes wild. Sometimes wide-open. And sometimes face down.

 

I don't know how ANYONE thinks Manny Pac has "average" boxing ability... Sure he can't sit on the outside, wait for the opponent to come to him and use his long arms to pop jabs in and rack up points like Lara or something. But the guy is a master of using his footwork, dropping fast combinations, yall act like he is just some guy who is freakishly fast who hasn't ever bothered with a trainer lol.

He closes the distance very quick and gets out very fast. He also uses a variety of feints and changes angles. All those things require skill.

In terms of actual boxing ability sure he isn't on Mayweathers level. But stop saying he is average...

 

This. He's more of an athletic boxer than a skilled boxer. Same as Sergio Martinez and Roy Jones Jr.

 

I agree with this too.

 

You know what, for once I can agree with your post, Pac is a great talent, and not just a brawler with power.:good

But I don't think boxing the ears off of someone is boring, I love an action packed brawling type of fight, but I also enjoy a masterclass boxing lesson.

 

pac can box but his instincts take over an he will opt slug it out

cuz he has the tools to outbox jmm but its in his nature to throw down

but he had to box rios and margs n he do a good job doing it..

and he annihilated margs ..... but idk he couldnt do it with jmm

 

I've seen those fights. Canelo throws punches in bunches. Have you seen his fight with Angulo? The moment Canelo throw's punches in bunches Clottey would just cover up. No chance in hell Clottey wins this with his limited output and turtle shell like defense

 

You'd think Pac would find the motivation to "easily outbox" Marquez at least once in 4 fights.
