    Pac is the most versatile fighter in the world

    I'd say no. Obviously Pacquiao is not anywhere near as adaptable as a chameleon like Pernell Whitaker who can take numerous different approaches to a fight and completely morph into another style during a fight, but if you consider Pacquiao vs Margarito, you can see how Pacquiao fought aggressively off the back foot and countered well, whereas in other fights he was consistently coming forward and initiating every exchange. This marks Pac out as more versatile than say, swarmers who can only win a fight when they are forcing their opponents to the ropes and infighting.

    Did I ever say that. I think he has more dimension you racist ******. I was just pointing out Gander's post since he thinks Pac is versatile, but Floyd isn't

    man u off man..

    Your opinion is nice....

    That doesn't change the fact that he was fighting very very well when he was hurt....

    He literally "caught" the first right shane hit him with and did everything right after getting hit by the 2nd one-went to the body, tied up, etc etc...

    He did make one mistake..after he got off the ropes he threw a right hand...when he threw this right hand he brought his back foot forward (obviously he was still hurt)...this is pretty much the lone mistake he made after getting hurt by shane...

    Yea man, thats versatility...

    Ur argument was weak and very easy to rebuttal...

    All those items u mentioned are legal btw...nothing was "illegal" and the ref needa call it

    I'd say he's noticeably less effective coming off the back foot, but he's not one dimensional.

    he is not versatile, just a one dimensional midget who scares floyd to the maximum limit. it even drives floyd crazy when someone drops the question about pac vs void. void turns into steriod-rage when ask about it

    Before you rant how good your facts again, what you acually describe is not versatility. It is called survival skills.

    Versatile simply means being able to fight using different methods, style,,,etc.

    when he got hammered by mosley, which part was the versatile again?

    If he can fight on the backfoot, then switch on the front foot, couterpunch, then become offensive, stay on the pocket or fight at the distance, that is versatility.

    No doubt Gayweather is versatile but your definition is way off.

    What you just described are sequence of events on what he did which you describe as "doing everything right". Your argument only holds water if you can show an alternate way of doing things and instead Gayweather did differently.

    Oh holier than thou, why do you always say "Ur argument is weak and easy to rebutt (tal?)" to everybody.

    Does it make you feel better with your inadequacies. Go back to school and learn. Your debating skill is absurb.

    How the **** can you say an 8 Division Champion Fighter of the Decade Three Weight Lineal Champ Three Times Fighter of the Year is not VERSATILE you ****ing moron. PAC can adapt and has more ways than one to beat a fighter. If not he would be a bum right now. :-:)-:)patsch
