Manny Pacquiao: Best I’ve Faced

Best Overall – I cannot specify one. Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales all had tremendous skills. They commanded respect because they were all multi-dimensional. I had to be on my toes and give them my 100 percent concentration because they were so dangerous in the ring.

Best Boxer – Juan Manuel Marquez – He is the only fighter who really could figure me out and anticipate my moves. He is a brilliant counterpuncher and a tremendous warrior.

Best Jab – Oscar De La Hoya – His jab is a tactical weapon. It can set up a punch or act as a weapon.

Best Defense – Joshua Clottey – and not for a good reason, at least for the fans.

Best Chin – Antonio Margarito – That fight was a war. It was brutal. I threw everything at him and he not only took it but came back for more. Incredible.

Best Puncher – Miguel Cotto – I can still feel some of those punches he threw at me. Staying on the ropes is not the best place to be when you are fighting him. He's also accurate. He's incredible.

Fastest Hands – Lehlo Ledwaba – His hands were blazing.

Fastest Feet – Oscar De La Hoya – He moves so quickly and effortlessly. He is a complete athlete.

Smartest – Miguel Cotto – It was hard to bait him. He has seen it all. I really had to out-hustle him. He made me work.

Strongest – Antonio Margarito – Big and strong is an understatement. His body shots hurt me several times throughout our fight.

 

How can Ring Magazine writers be allowed to make stuff up?

 

Gotta admit thought crossed my mind too . He must have answered in his native language and then used a translator :deal

 

Translators dont exist?

Ring magazine is fake?
