    The video was okay. It's still misses a few key concepts. From a physical standpoint boxing on the back foot isn't just about height and reach, it is also about speed and reflexes (hand-eye coordination for timing).

    Pac was able to fight on the outside in those instances because he has superior speed, and he has great reflexes. When an opponent can't keep up pace wise they are also forced to go forward to break down the body and hopefully slow down the opponent.

    Pac is also more of a boxer-puncher, which is a particular skill set of using in and out movement. He never just boxed and he never just came forward at any time in his career. He has only gotten better with his timing and skill-set to be more effective, otherwise he still has the same overall pattern of fighting.

    it's not like he a douche bag, the guy is sharing some of his knowledge is all. He also had a few amateur boxing matches. I rather listen to a guy talk about techniques than the emotional aspect of boxing.

    When Pacquiao was fighitng at 130 he was cutting down from 140 to make the weigh-in. And when he was fighting at 140-147 his walk-around weight was still below 150. Has he really gained that much weight to suggest he's much bigger today that he was 10 years ago? When fighting at welterweight he barely had to cut weight, in contrast to his opponents who walked around at nearly 160 pounds or more.

    Yeah basically I agree with this point. I also agree with TheRat. The guy is trying a little to hard, trying to act like he knows more than he does, and not really explaining much about the technique. I think he still doesn't quite understand when those techniques work/don't. However he is at minimum observant enough to show key clips even if he doesn't completely understand what is going on. I still say better than what 95% of the posters here have to say.

    Are you saying he lost to Bradley the first time? The 2nd fight was another cherry pick. You pac fans flip flop on your idol too?
