    imo, Pac can match technical skills with Morales at any point in his career since 2001, but not JMM. I believe Pac was outsized and hampered by a nasty cut in the first Morales fight. Call it an excuse if you want but cuts and weight are major issues that can impact the outcome of a fight.

    JMM is a real technical master, I realise that

    I consider MAB a "technical master" also, but for some he couldn't be competitive with Manny like Marquez.

    Do you think Barrera is as good as Marquez when it comes to technique?

    I think the difference in their technique has become overstated by some. Marquez threw straighter punches, but I always thought Marco's offensive arsenal had more dimensions to it. He was a much better body puncher than Marquez. Marquez had the better right hand, Barrera had the better left. There is not a huge difference in skill level for me, but Marquez does throw straighter shots. I think MAB has the greater balance too.

    Junior Jones was a little bit better than ordinary.

    Pac gets destroyed. Then fights In Jin Chi and In Jin Chi ends his career. Floyd quickly retires after Chi calls him out saying "I won't fight that monster".

    I think alot of you are forgetting, or dont have any idea, just how good Jones was when he was focused.

    Pacman is too fast especially at that weight class. His speed will give jones trouble to go along with his power. Pac by Ko.

    Jones had more than enough skill to out box Pacquaio but his chin would always be a concern especially against someone with the hand speed and explosiveness of Manny. Hard fight to predict. Junior Jones in his prime is underrated and he had one of the best jabs i have seen.
