Does Manny use the same kind of lateral movement and angles he used to use??

    Bc I don't think he does tbh I mean yes he was able to drop algieri 6 times but it seemed like it was straight forward and more stiff movement than usual...what do you guys think?

    I agree so do u think he has the same advantages that he used to have that made him a sure pick to beat mayweather?

    He doesn't use his in and outs, side to sides as much. He's more into doing in and out of living when he fights JMM. :lol:

    It's hard to use angles when a guy is retreating the entire time. He had to come straight forward at him. If algieri attempted to set and counter, I believe manny would've then used angles.

    Algieri said Pacquiao used crazy angles that he couldn't prepare for. He said what amazed him was how most opponents he's fought can't generate power when they throw a certain way, but with Pacquiao, he generates power in ways you'd never expect, in angles you wouldn't think would carry a lot of power.

    Bradley called him the "master of angles" after his rematch, and spoke on his lateral movement as the one thing for him that was the hardest to deal with.

    So, based on these opponents' experiences, I'd say no.

    I wonder why most of pac's opponents becomes pactoads unlike most of the keyboard warriors out there. The only pac opponent who didn't recognize his power was Solis, who said his wife punches harder than pac.

    Well Marquez was laying the hammer down on those crazy angles you say are still there.

    Pacquiao is still good with the angles, only they're not as quick or as sharp as they used to be.
    Good news for Mayweather.

    1) Marquez fought him 4 times
    2) Marquez still got beat up...bad
    3) And what does laying the hammer on his angles even mean?

    I don't think they become "pactoads" they are just being real. I mean, most say Floyd will win. That doesn't sound pactoady to me.
