    “Speed conquers all but I also have the power. The second Marquez fight made me think. I never looked at my opponents’ tapes before that fight but now I do. At this level, hard gym workouts are not enough. I need to go to school for every opponent. I need to study them. I consider myself a student of boxing now, not just a fighter."

    That's why he's great, there's no ego or any of that "I know all now so **** off" attitude, he's ALWAYS willing to learn and prepares for every fight like it's his first. This is ATG dedication and is a natural given mentality. If all had that mentality no one will be in questions about specific losses or anything similar.

    Good stuff to know. He had the tools, but he seems to realize now that he needs to use his head just as much.

    This is one of the reasons why I'm a Pac fan. He's always trying to learn and come out w/ something new every time he fights. He's not satisfied w/ just what he has now. He's constantly trying to improve himself.

    I think it's time you change your avatar to one where you have both pac and money on it.

    To be honest, it is rather silly not to watch how your opponents fight.

    However, the idea that manny hasn't or wouldn't see how his opponents fight is rather negated by the fact that we have seen Buboy watch stuff on his laptop and call Manny over to watch it.

    I'm sure he's now more receptive to actually plonking his hyperactive ass down and watching it on tv though, going by what he's saying. But anyway, if Roach is watching the tapes and studying them, it's all good.

    Floyd says he never watches tape on opponents, that he adapts in the ring! Does anyone beside me think thats a bad idea?
    Pac is able to punch at different angles, If he doesnt do his homework Floyd is in for a long night!

    Fighters say it all the time, that they dont study fight tape......when in fact they're lying through there teeth.

    Like Pacquiao, JMM himself has stated many times that he does'nt study tapes of his opponents, that he leaves that to Nacho......and tha whatever Nacho implements as the gameplan, he follows and tweaks it however he see's the need to tweak it during the fight.


    So as Enzo has stated........If Pacquiao did'nt study his opponents on tape to the Marquez rematch, it seems they fought on even terms in that regard.......as if we take the word of these two fighting liars neither of them studied the fight film of eachother!:nut:nut:nut:nut







    Its ridiculous to think that in this day in age, Pac and Marquez did'nt intently study the film of their first fight for example in preperation for their rematch.

    I say, they're both liars!

    shut it divac...raiders suck.

    on a serious note, he has somebody watch tape for him. I don't think he has the time to sort through all the footage of his opponents.

    I agree. I think they study the hell out of each other's tapes. They just say they don't so they could sound above their opponents.
