    :lol:

    I wonder if he put Fury away with an uppercut what his self-reflection would be. "Wait WTF did I really just score a knockout with an uppercut? I don't throw that punch!"

    I actually think he rolls punches pretty well and picks off quite a few with his guard. However, I think he's a bit too dependent on the 1-2, and doesn't really seem to have a pay-off hook in his repertoire, based on what I've seen.

    How many adjustments did he make against JMM in 4 fights?

    What was frustrating is that Mosley could throw a good jab when he was so inclined. He out-jabbed DLH throughout the second half of the first fight. But he dispensed with using his jab effectively pretty much from that point on.

    Listen i'm not even a big Pac fan but your hate is too much most of the great fighters in the past at least had one opponent they had trouble with.

    I use to think you knew you're stuff pimp.

    When i think of a fighter who can't make adjustments i think of Rios,Ruslan

    The guy is very one-dimensional and doesn't make great adjustments. I don't know why you can't see it? The guy had 4 fights with JMM and couldn't stop from getting hit with right hands he never took JMM's right hand away. He's a great fighter and a ATG but he's not great at making adjustments against elite boxers like JMM and PBF.

    Why were the fights so close if Pacquiao was one dimensional, you'd think a master technician like Marquez would have a breeze if this were so. I know Pacquiao relies significantly on his speed and has been shown to be human against Marquez and Mayweather but he's no dummy. I don't think his IQ is brilliant but it's not exactly lacking.

    I don't know if Wlad's or Pacquiao's "liabilities" are actually liabilities.

    Wlad is so big and knows how to fight tall that he doesn't actually need to fight inside.

    Pacquiao's style is shooting in and then backing back out of range. You don't really need to cut off the ring if you can get in and then get out on time.

    Pacquiao has a young man's style. He was very reliant on his attributes. Those declined in his 30's and they were still improving in his teen years. That's why we saw him losing fights when he wasn't in his twenties. Physical boxing is a young man's style.

    Winky Wright has the worst left hand of any southpaw I've ever seen in my life. (I'm a big fan but really :patsch)

    Is it just me or do Golovkin and Roman Gonzalez fight very similarly?

    Yes, but not as much in terms of their skills because they fight different, more so in terms of their approach and attitude to fighting.
