    I mean that it doesn't matter how his style looks like but it matters how it works.

    What versatile you are talking about? You mean the elbow punch? forearm choke? holding down to have a free shot? OST? using corrupt ref? or sucker punch?

    pac was forced to box margo and keep his distance and counter. He was aggressive at first, but when he was recieving damage he slowly changed to box margo. pac was 90% boxing with delahoya, which he never again used. Cotto, he was switching on and off to boxing.

    No. Because he's fought going backwards and going forward. That alone makes the question go moot.

    Pacquiao is not the most technically skilled fighter out there, but his skills have improved to the point where they are very good, and he is able to adapt his style to what gives him the best chance to win based on the opponent. As leone25 said, Pacquiao used tons of movement/straight left potshots to befuddle De La Hoya. He stayed on the back foot and countered the crap out of Margarito and Hatton. He was able to box and then pressure fight Cotto. So, no, he's not a ridiculous technician a la Floyd or Hopkins, but he's certainly not a one-dimensional fighter.

    before he was double jab straight left....

    now he is almost complete...he can box, counter, brawl even potshot (lead left roll to the right)..

    only lacking in his skillset is superb defense and maybe some technical moves like cutting off the ring or how to deal with lateral movement....

    I answered NO ...

    but guess what even if you answer YES, cant blame PAC, he just won 8 division and even hall of famers from boxing, mma, all other sports recognize PAC. yet he is just one dimensional and fights only in one way which no one until now can face him.

    cant you see the irony MIDGET yet PAC attacks even the giants

    Pacquaio can do most things otherwise he wouldn't be at the top of the sport. Sure others have some attributes that trump him but when people say he is easy to turn or has poor defence then they are being daft.
