    Did I say he was a bum? :lol: You Pac****s are just so in love with this man it really is disturbing. You were the one who said "nobody" had figured it out yet. That's not true, and now you're trying to put words in my mouth. :rofl

    It's a simple point: Manny Pacquiao doesn't have great footwork, he has great physical attributes (speed). The fact you just can't admit that Manny Pacquiao doesn't do everything great is hilarious to me. It's like trying to claim Roy Jones Jr was a great technical boxer. :lol:

    The man is technically flawed. It doesn't matter how successful he is. And yes, those footwork flaws are a large part of the reason he has lost the fights he has. If you really want to go down that road.

    Pac can fight and there's no denying that. He just doesn't fight better than Mayweather.

    omg. Just because pacquiao doesnt use the textbook way doesn't mean his footwork is bad when he's beating 90% of his opponents with it same way that just because you shoot ft's between ur legs doesn't mean you're a bad free throw shooter when you're hitting 90% of them.

    I can't handle this ignorance.

    Goodbye.

    pac has bad footwork... this victor guy knows nothing, nothing

    he will run circles around Floyd, he's got faster feet and better footwork.

    And you can show this how. He tripped over JMM foot you know. Common when southpaws and orthodox face each other. It wax a Fluke not a technical flaw.

    I'd like your dumbass to prove your assertions.

    What you fail to understand is that Pac's footwork is lacking in certain areas. While it is effective, we saw that opponents with decent footspeed or proper technical footwork(Morales, Marquez and others) have given him plenty of trouble as Pac gets tagged a lot when facing technicians with good foot placement. Notice that in a great deal of his fights he takes massive counter right hands because he overcommits to his lunges.. Floyd's right hands will be sharper and more effective against Pac than any of his other opponents (minus Marques perhaps). Floyd's feet may be slowing, but they are still above average in speed and technically sound, which is a nightmare for Pac. Mark my words Floyd will land so many left hooks on Pac it's going to be comedic. I'll bet Pac may even lunge into some body jabs and wind himself. Floyd doesn't need to keep his lead foot on the outside this is also what you fail to understand. This is where his reflexes will come into play. If Pac steps to the outside, Floyd can and will throw hooks inside his jab/manila ice. Stepping inside against a fighter of opposite stance is just as effective if you know how to use it. He has done it against every southpaw he's faced, and it is very difficult to counter, thus forcing Pac to reset each time this happens.

    Look what JMM did to iron chins Pac and Alvarado. JMM on Heredias shakes has WAY MORE power than Floyd, heck he has better power than Pac.

    good attempt but holes all over...

    Pacquiao hasn't gotten in trouble vs opponents because of his flawed footwork or lack of foot speed. None of the sort. The main reason he has been troubled by a couple (and i mean a couple), is because of his risky style of fighting. It's easy to not get hit when you are being defensive, ala cautious Mayweather, but not as easy when you are a very offensive fighter. You want footwork? Look at how PAcquiao ran circles around DLH, Cotto, Margareito, Hatton, Rios etc... that's just as quick and as effective any fighter can be with his feet. Now, Morales and JMM gave him trouble? HAS NOTHING to do with his 'flawed footwork and all to do with Pac's deliberate risk taking tendencies, he likes to attack, he likes to take risks. This is why Pac's highs have been higher than floyd's but lows, lower... he's a risk taker. If Floyd would've been less of a b$tch and fought more offensively, he probably would be sitting on a few losses and guys like you would pointing to his 'flawed' footwork.

    as far as floyd connecting easily, we shall see. Pacquiao is actually a lot harder to hit than people think. How many times did DLH, Cotto, Hatton, Margerito, Mosely hurt him in 46 rounds? a couple of punches at most? sure JMM, morales had success but Pac TKO'd Morales twice afterward and gave JMM a beating too. JMM is a completely different fighter than Floyd mayweather anyway.

    and Floyd has been hurt - Judah knocked him down, Mosely hurt him, Corley hit a bunch of times, Maidana rocked him. Floyd isn't as difficult to hit as people think and he's mostly fought fighters with slower feet, wait and see what will happen when Pacquiao circles him for 12 rounds.

    Sorry Floyds old feet are too slow to take the inside angle on PAC. He will get T ed and then teed off on.
