"A style that Tito ate for breakfast"? Maybe that's where your argument falls apart because you have the stupid idea that Pacquiao is a brawler. Pacquiao is the better boxer, better movement, better chin, better stamina and so on. Tito has size but without the style to enforce it.
And you overrate him criminally. Next you'll be trying to tell me that he beats a prime Oscar at 147.:nut
If you agree with "brawlers like Manny", you're just another moron. It's one of the most stupid and ignorant things I've read on here in a while.
Prime Tito, the DLH who fought Tito and the Vargas who fought Tito would've beat the living **** out of Pacroid.
Alright, you clearly don't know what you're talking about at all. On one hand you've got an inside fighting, clinch and maul swarmer like hatton and a southpaw middle range boxer-puncher like Pacquiao and you're saying they're the same? And that's just from a stylistic perspective As far as the quality of their skills... I'm sorry they're on a different level in terms of technique. Pac has far, far superior footwork and combinations and trained stamina it's not just a difference in "athletic ability". You're just not informed enough to actually tell the difference. You're one of those guys that thinks that because a fighter fights safer and stays on his bike more, that he's somehow automatically more skilled. You think that Pac is a raw brawler with no defense. That is wrong. You think anyone who isn't a boxer is a brawler. That is uneducated.
That's a good fight. Prime Oscar struggled with fluidity because he was always such a rigid fighter. Whilst he was great, certain styles didn't suit him at all and it would be close.
he does and you know it. You know Oscar doesn't like southpaws. you know Oscar doesn't like fighting fighters who are faster than he is. you know Oscar doesn't like fighting fighters who don't stand in front of him. You know that straight left is gonna find its way through Oscar's guard whether he's 25 or 100 years old. You know Oscar faded late even in his prime and that Pacquiao doesn't fade. You know Pac's chin is good enough to handle Oscar's power. You know left hand dominant fighters play right into Pac's hands. Pac beats a prime Oscar. No doubt.
I'm not saying manny is a brawler, but he can't fight backwards. He has to be offensive and exhange. Tito is the same, pure offense, insane stamina, WAY bigger, WAY more power and WAY better chin. Manny would have to fight like DLH did to Tito in order to win that fight and you know he cannot fight like that. Sorry to bust your bubble.
I can't wait until Void dominates emmanuel. No moar threads about how overrated and underrated pac is. The general side of the forum will become much better.
Pac can fight backwards. He was going backwards when he busted Cotto up with that uppercut. This content is protected
Cotto is also a 5'7 midget who at the time kept fighting hunched over making him even shorter and extremely susceptible to uppercuts ..... Tito never fought in that stance and was near 6 feet.... Hell i'd pick prime quartey to bust pac up with that insane jab
You are such a moron. It's like saying that he never takes a step back... Of course he has to move backwards at some time, its ****ing boxing. His style is PURELY OFFENSIVE. I'm not saying he has some kind of disability were he can't take a step back... Good God...
Someone who gets hit as much as pac gets hit to land punches = brawler to me...... U just probably got ur ass whooped by both so u think that anyone who fights like anyone who whooped ur ass cant be simply called a brawler Pac is a brawler no ****ing technical ability.......He is the master of the brawler style!!! the guy throws punches standing on one tippy toe falling back!! Is that a boxers punch so when i go to the boxing gym my trainer is telling me the wrong thing right...he should be telling me to stand on one foot when i throw my hooks
