Pacquiao would have absolutely annihilated Chavez Sr.

    Manny fights nothing like Rosario or Taylor.

    Can one person actually address that pressure fighters worst enemy is a big puncher?

    You believe that Pac will be able to bomb out a Chavez in peak condition? I fail to see that happening. Pac will either be a sitting duck or on the back foot for the majority of this fight.

    Body Shots may be a problem for the Mighty Pac Man. Also, I assume this fight would be at 140lbs? We didn't see much of Pacman at that weight.

    I do know that right before his move up to 140 and above, he looked very beatable in his rematches with JMM and MAB (not saying he lost to MAB, he clearly won, but didn't look unbeatable).

    I think stylistically you are right. However, you can't write off Chavez. And his body shots may be a problem for Pacman, especially since Pac had been stopped by body shots previously.

    If Chavez tries to pressure Pacquiao which he will then he will have to eat some Pacquiao punches.

    Pressure fighters worst enemy is a smart boxer mover that has power and a chin I.E ALI Sweet Pea May-Weather M .Taylor But he was stupid at the end of his fight with chavez when Lu Duva told him to knock him out , he should of boxed him and moved . These fighters beat Pressure power puncher fighters all the time , guys tha tfans say are unbeatable like GGG Kovalev Tyson and others . Pac is not a Boxer like May W. he is a boxer puncher and has no D uses his hand speed but likes to go toe to toe with guys docent have the head movement he more like Macho Camacho then like Sweet pea thats why he would lose

    Pressure is not power. You're confusing the two styles. A pressure fighter's worst enemy is a power puncher. It's always been that way. See Foreman Frazier, Hearns Duran, Pacquiao Hatton, etc. The list goes on.

    Kovlaev isn't even close to being a pressure fighter. He's a pure boxer puncher. He's nothing like a pressure fighter. That is a very, very bad style analysis.

    Observation. He was naturally a smaller man ! jcc snr wasn't as good as what people make out. When he fought other world class fighters he didn't exactly **** it did he.
