How much has Pacquiao improve over the years?

pacquiao is the one fighter who we named as someone who literally went from zero to hero. same with hopkins.

 

Improved enough to keep on winning and impress boxing fans

 

two handed fighter now is the biggest difference to me.

 

agreed

 

Hes like Songoku he gets stronger with every fight.

 

He has took more advantage of his physical gifts such as speed and footwork by throwing more combinations, being less predictable and throwing more than a looping or straight left. He still has technical flaws. Manny is great in mid range but struggles moving backwards and when he is pushed back or in a physical type fight. In fights with Morales and Marquez they showed he struggles when pushed back or counterpunched.

 

Copy.

 

his transforlmantion into a brilliant boxer reminds me of MAB's transformation but more more exciting. MAB went from exciting brawler to cerebral killer. pac went from exciting brawler to a very well rounded boxer but exciting because he fights like a crazy mother****er.

 

His movement is also very frinetic and difficult to time.

 

he's improved a lot, but I feel there are a number of boxers than can outbox him.

So while he's improved a lot from where he was he still needs to improve to be one of the best pure boxers

 

A lot. He's just much more polished now and less predictable. His right hook is just as devastating as his left. He's a completely different fighter from the MAB and EM days IMO.

 

You said it. I think that he is even stronger after moving up in weight. He carried his speed and he power can't be denied after what he did to Hatton.

 

yes there were glimpses of those lead lefts, right hooks and uppercuts in fights even prior those.

but what happened was that roach picked on those to build up and hone. paired with pacs unpredictable movement and timing, those have become real threats. but the real improvement is in his in and out footwork. pac used to go toe to toe and slug (ie. vs sanchez), now he uses his movements avoid those punch fests. pac's sidestepping and duck forward movement is his own aggresive version to floyds back leaning and ducking out of shots. with pacs version, he is always in position to fire a shot.
