    He said that Manny was a one handed fighter and that he only had the left hand and now he has the right hook ...

    alll that is cool but what is he going to do when he has those two weapons neutralized?

    To be honest I never seen Pacquiao show the ability to make mid fight adjustments.

    The times he was in there with a master boxer with an assortment of skills and punches he went back to brawling and throwing that right jab left hand combinationi ... he's very predictable.

    Pac has the jab to the head, jab to the body, right hook to the head/body, straight left head/body, left cross, overhand left, uppercuts with either hand... and devastating power.

    p4p best offence in the sport

    all these years with pacquiao and all you do is add a right hook?

    he should be a master boxer up and down ...

    Had to laugh when Pac was interviewed. P4P #1, ATG, 30 years old, "I've got a new technique, it's called a right hook".

    Pacquiao doesn't throw uppercuts with either and ... all he has is the right hand, straight left ... and the occassional right hook.

    this is about the fourth dumb post i have seen you make in a days time...
    Honestly, a guy that couldn't adjust mid fight wouldn't have beaten marquez....a guy with a limited arsenal wouldnt have ko'd morales....Honestly, think about what you are about to type before creating a whole topic about it.

    once again, congrats on a stupid topic

    Nah.. He may get a little careless here and there by trying to go for the KO, but he can adjust.. His gameplan has been on point though.. I'd still say he's pretty unpredictable seeing as how he can explode at any time and he always has some new weapon in each fight.. Diaz fight, he improved footwork.. DLH fight, he improved his lateral movement.. Hatton fight, the right hook..

    If Pac is very predictable and doesn't have much arsenal, then how in the world has he beaten Barrera, Morales, Marquez, DLH and Hatton? Don't doubt the man!

    Hatton said it hisself ... its much different getting outclassed for 10 rounds than it is getting knocked out in 2 ... getting outclassed is very discouraging and over the course of the fight you know the guy is better than you.

    please excuse me pac fans because i'm not bashing pac ... this thread wasn't intended for that ...

    i'm just saying _ he overwhelmed most of his opposition ... those guys were at the tail end of their careers. So many wars so many battles ... and if i'm not mistaken Morales was the last man to officially beat the Pac man.

    Fitz.. I know you're a big Floyd fan and you're going to defend him and try to make him look good.. Thats what the Pac fans are gonna' do for Pac.. You're going to be outnumbered and nothing you say will change their minds.. Just wait 'til they fight and you'll see how incredible Pac is..
