    even I overrated him a bit

    7 or 6 would be fair

    he has no idea on what to do if things aren't going his way. emmanuel doesn't think like a technician

    To be fair he fought like hell against Morales in the first fight, and countered JMM in the second fight well when he losing badly in some moments. I think he was overly cautions in the third fight, not wanting to commit for fear of getting countered knowing deep in his heart more than with any other opponent what JMM could do to time him.

    His Ring IQ isn't one of the best ever, but there are only a few of his contemporaries who can even bring him out of his comfort zone to that extent. I think 8 was fair.

    3 or 4

    hundreds of fighters throughout history with better technical chops than Pac.Doesn't necessarily make them more effective fighters, but still.

    7 or 8, thats the most i think that would be fair. Why i think that is there are only a few in history who would be able to exploit his technical flaws. Marquez is an A- to A level boxer and he exploited pac but it took him a 3rd fight to finally score a wide decision. Thing is a lot of fighters can probably see and know how to counter his flaws but they would have a problem with the speed.

    I'm more devastated about the Junior Jones beatings.

    But, seriously speaking, Pac has no jab, his left though effective against statinary targets is not text book, his footwork is ****ing terrible, he doesn't have a good jab, and he doesn't appear to have plan B's...

    He relies of throwing a bunch of punches and being faster than his opponents. What has helped him is he has pop in his punches, and I credit that to the high possibilty of Pac using steroids.

    Somewhere between 6-7 he's unorthodox which adds to the fact that many seasoned boxing ehtuisist don't see the skill set shine above the natural ability. He will most likely never be as technicall sound as most would give him credit for.

    36 Rounds:
    JMM 25 rds
    Pac 11 rds

    Main difference was in power...Pacroid was more powerful, and he also refuses to take random blood tests leading up to the fight. :think

    emmanuel won 3 rounds in the 1st fight, 5 in the 2nd, and 3 in the 3rd?

    or is it 2 rounds in the 1st, 5 in the 2nd, and 4 in the 3rd?

    6-He has very sloppy footwork and he leaves his hands down and is exposed when he throws a lot.
