    I don't get it!

    If you watch him punch, his technique is just so bizarre. He doesn't really plant his feet, so much so that sometimes he's punching when he's hopping! A lot of times he almost "arm-flicks" his punches, which looks really bizarre. And yet his power is undeniably great.

    The only thing I can think of is that he definitely twists his punches, a LOT.

    Speed kills. The punches you dont see hurt you the most.

    its called technique which also allows him to punch from so many weird angles. and having big legs also helps as he thrust himself into the air that also generates extra power.

    Whole grain rice.




    .......but seriously, how frequently do boxers get tested today? Is it just completely random once a year type of thing or after every fight? The process of testing in boxing doesn't seem very transparent yet it must be there since it caught a few fighters doping. Pac is a magnificent fighter but I have some concerns about his power and physique.....my intention is not to cast dispersion or take away any credit, but at thesame time i would be relieved if I saw Pac's testing history.

    You could've just searched the net for your answer. Boxers get test right after every fight. So no BS saying manny is doped up.

    Thats the thing. His technique is so unique and akward that fighters don't know how to cope with the assault. Yes the speed helps, but if it was only the speed, super zab would be p4p the best. Pac is definitely special.

    :deal That's exactly it !! Manny has power but at welterweight he doesn't have the one punch power when the other fighter sees it coming.

    The guys just get caught with punches they don't see at all...

    Good to know this. Boxing actually gets a good rating for its antidoping policies. In addition to this, it would be nice to see active boxers get tested just once randomly at any point of the year, whether they are in tranining or not. This may seem unnecessary, but random testing is important, since with roids there are some reasonably successful ways of beating the system, when you know your testing date.
