    Manny has the rare snap on his punches. When you get the snap sound it is like a whip it breaks the sound barrier almost like a tiny sonic boom. Manny is deadly and everyone knows it. Best offensive fighter in history.

    Let's not bring guns into it. The fact is Pacquiao is without dought the best offensive fighter in the game pound for pound. No else really comes close. Is he on steroids? maybe but he's by far the best offensive fighter p4p. Mayweather is the best defensive fighter aswell and they are both clearly 1 and 2 p4p imo, that's why everybody wants to see that fight.

    Indeed. This should be the start of point if there were to be any reasonable debate regarding the topic. If you don't think he's the best offensive fighter now, who do you think it is? Name names and we can have an actual debate.

    It makes me sad his last name is Green, because that's the 1 thing he isn't.

    Well I can't argue with you on that one. Mayweather may very well make him look ordinary. In fact, Mayweather will make anyone look ordinary.

    But it still doesn't dispel the fact that Pacquiao has the best offensive tools in boxing at the moment.

    Its not ludicrous to say that Manny is one of the best offensive fighters of all time

    Today? Without a doubt hes the most ferocious machine that our eyes have seen in a very very long time.

    Casual fans like offensive fighters, look at the sheer volume of casual fans that manny has, its an indication of his offensive ability because it has been proven, over and over again

    Mayweather jr. He's a defensive fighter that a lot of people find offensive.


    sorry, I'm running on the same joke but I couldn't resist it :lol:

    I think Pacquiao is probably the greatest offensive fighter right now. Mayweather is the best defensive fighter... and Pacquiao's defense is not elite but thats what makes him exciting.

    yeah, he is. i've never seen a fighter throw punches the way he does. the many different kinds of punches he throws from very unorthodox and akward angles which he combines into 5,6, 7 punch combos -all with power, timing and accuracy is just phenomenal to watch.

    i've never seen anybody fight like him before and probably never will. he's like a tasmanian devil combined with a fighting **** - a style of fighting that is unique to him and he will certainly be remebered for it. his career highlights will be watched over and over again and admired by future boxing fans long after he has finally hung up his gloves.

    Pac ... I think it'll be a long time before we see someone go up in weight and be that consistantly strong and quick ... ill go with pac .. but like I said before almost everything in boxing is worth an arguement ... glad to see that this isn't one of them lol
