    only faced sluggers, Cotto, Margarito, Hatton, De la Hoya (old version), and Clottey (who is always there to be hit), great managerial moves by Arum, tailor made fighters for Pacquiao.

    the fact is that Pacquiao struggles with counterpunchers like Morales (in his best version), Marquez, even though they may be less strong.

    now, Pacquiao punches are more powerful at welterweight than featherweight?, i dont think so, the real deal is Pacman hit his slower, defense less opponents with more frequency and sitting in his punches, because these are just too slow for Manny...

    That is the true about the "GREAT MANNY PACQUIAO", HE HAS CARRIED WEIGHT WELL, BUT HIS OPPONENTS HAVE BEEN SO SO AT BEST.

    ok fine he cant fight a counter-puncher, it doesn't mean i dont want to see pac-mayweather now tell that ****** to pick up his nuts and lets go
     
  3. Here's another fact...

    Pac was a one dimensional fighter back then. A one trick pony with a spectacular left hand.

    Today, Pac is a 2 fisted demon with KO power in both hands, far greater ring smarts, and top of the class footwork.

    Pac murders Marquez in a third fight.

    So, you classify ODLH and Clottey as sluggers? Do you wash the fruit before eating it or are you fine with all the pesticides?

    Not true. Pac was definitely as good as he is now when he faced Marquez, IMO.

    Pac does good with big guys because they cannot handle his speed. Pac was every bit as good against Marquez but Marquez could handle it...Pac still won, but Marquez will ALWAYS be his equal, head to head.

    What I don't understand is why Margarito didn't even attempt to use movement while Pac battered him with combo's. What kind of strategy is it to stay in one place and take all of it if you're not even going to try and throw a well timed counter to disrupt the flow.

    Don't insult Manny like that. That's uncalled for.

    Its a testament to JMMs greatness who I believe is 1 and 1 with Pacquaio. He'll always be Pacs nemesis but Pac wasnt quite this good when he fought JMM, not a big difference but his right hand wasnt this sharp. Hes hitting everyone with that right now and his lateral movement flanking his oppenents has never been better.

    Also important to note that JMM cannot deal with a 140-147 version of Manny and he will look worse than what Floyd did to him. This is why I never gave Floyd too much cradit for the Marquez win just coz the fact that Pac would have done better. JMm is too sluggish at 140 above.

    But JMM to me is the best out of the big 3

    It's hard to dodge a punch that you don't see coming at you. It's also hard to dodge a punch that you can't feel until it hits you.

    Well Packy was suppose to face the slickest defensive counterpunching boxer but told us he no longer have the urge!

    Is that Packy's fault?
