    Don't be stupid DIVAC!I know you can think better. He will NOT COPY Whitaker perse. He'll get some good points on somebody who is good! He would not copy him literally as what you are trying to imply.

    Pac is pac! He studies his opponents and other boxers and he learns from them..

    He would not try to be somebody on the ring when he is on the ring! Pac will never be trying to be somebody else in the ring!

    Yes, he'll try to study some boxers and learn from them. But to be a copy cat of somebody?! I don't THINK SO!

    Pac's already starting on the wrong foot. Sweet Pea had his whole life to become Sweet Pea. I think Pac should be studying the first Mosley fight and learn from that, adjust it to his own style.

    edit
    Maybe someone can slip Hoya some bad oysters for best chance

    As I said earlier, he's most probably only gonna get Swee'pea's defensive moves that would be applicable to Pac's fighting style. Not all of the slick techniques that Whitaker used in his career.

    Maybe some of those subtle head feints.

    A bit more head and body movement, and when he's getting crowded inside, just sidestep away.

    A bit of the blocking and changing angles when Oscar's getting too close.


    But definitely, Pac's not gonna try to be a pure boxing slickster in there against ODLH.

    Sweet Pea?? One of the greatest boxers ever. Why even try, just study tapes of Feliz Sturm.
