Ring Magazine: 10 Reasons why Pacquiao is Great

good read :good

 

I'd like to add that he's not only always improving, that's not really the case IMO. To be honest, there are still mistakes he didn't correct, just gets away because he's so awesomely fast and mobile. I think what is tremendous, and suits him better than 'just' improving overall is how well he prepares to the exact opponent, minimalizing their chances to land and preparing to land the very shots the opponents vulnerable against.

IMO he wouldn't have had the same easy work over Hatton with the JMM II or DLH training camp and that can be said with other fights of his. What is amazing that he can actually forget what they worked on the last time and learn what to use vs. the next opponent with a different style.

He's an excellent learner, just not alaways improving the way you think, but make the necessary adjustments to the actual opponent. I think that's one of his best skills.

 

Nice article...

 

Just because there are still flaws doesn't mean he's not always improving. Can you name a fight in recent memory where he hasn't looked better than the last? The difference in the Pacquiao from Morales I, to Morales III was immense. Then the Pacquiao against DLH and Hatton was a massive difference again. So impressive the way he improves all the time.

 

Good reasons

 

i agree with them all, he's shown things that no other fighters in the past has....

 

monstar , thas a goood lookin woman.

 

Lols!

 

albatross, those are some good eyes you have there

 

can he be the greatest of all time. greater than ray robinson? becuze as freddy sed , pacquiao is just peeking now. imagine if he beats cotto, mosley and floyd. then would he be greater than robinson

(i know people automatically feel disgusted and automatically say no when people cpompare anyone to robinson, but i feel no-one else is about to exceed pacquiaoz accomplishments for at least another 2 decades

 

it's hard to compare the 2 really, cuzz the 1st thing you think of is.....120 bout win streak, that's impossible for a fighter to get these days, but at the same time you think? who the hell did he fight? not everyone could of been a world beater, but at the same time Robinson even after his retirment, he came back and proved that not only was the greatest WW of all time, he also proved to be one of the greatest MW's of all time, plus his overall ability was top notch, a true complete fighter, i wouldn't say there's anyone who had it all like he had it, Heart, Challenges, Resume, Ability, etc..

but uhh.....if Pac DOES beat those 3, i'd personally say he's tied for the GOAT, or atleast 2nd place

 

I enjoyed that...very pleasant reading.
