    Do you consider either of them "old school?"

    What about "new school?"

    If you want to use other fighters as examples go-ahead

    I've heard Pacquiao's music and I'd say he is neither, it is more strangled cat with a mix of choking lamb.

    As for Mayweather, I heard him read that script and I do not think he has been near any sort of school.

    Floyd is from the old school. He's a throwback. Walks around at his fight weight but is in fight shape constantly. Always working on his craft. He his throwback ways is one of the main reasons he's still on top.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl :good:good

    To be fair, Excuequiao isn't exactly an Einstein neither. He can't even read/fill out the medical questionnaire which is comprised mostly of checkboxes.

    Floyd is a mix of old school and completely new. He used some old school skills, but uses them to win based on new school judges who reward negative tactics.

    :lol:

    To be fair Pacquiao couldn't fill out the medical questionnaire because his shoulder hurt, the pen was heavy and Mayweather kept running in the dressing room yanking on his arm :good

    I heard Divaquiao hurt his shoulder while slapping Buboy for not bringing him warm milk.

    Beating the **** out of your children's mother is pretty old school.
