    As an aggressor you're taught to slide with your opponent, mirror his movements and use hooks to stop his/her movement when in range. Manny always seems to be in attack mode moving forward in a straight line while moving in and out..
    I'm not sure why being that cutting off the ring is a pretty basic boxing technique taught to every boxer and especially aggressive fighters. He did ok in the later rounds of the Cotto fight, but against Mosley and Marquez he attacked in a straight line almost the entire fights. I'm thinking it's his lack of an inside game.. Any thoughts on this?

    Hes poor because they dont train much for that.
    Their thinking is probably why is a 160lb fighter running from a midget that started his career at 106lb....

    Part of it has to do with his movement. He's tendency is to jump in, quick bursts instead of lil steps. This is good to quickly shorten the distance against a squared opponent. But like you mentioned, you tend to come in linearly and the momentum makes it hard to change directions laterally mid stride. Against Marquez and Mosley, these movements were negated effectively when constantly circling away from Pac's power hand.

    His style is built to contradict what it takes to cut off a ring.

    Because his footwork, ring IQ and joke of a coach are all vastly overrated.

    too frantic, he "bounces" around the ring instead of stepping around it, his offence is so devastating that he cant help just flying in behind his combos

    I simply dont think Roach has trained him with it consistantly.

    I think alot of Manny's opponents have been either the come forward type or the very stationary type of fighter.

    So there hasn't been much cause for him to practise this and perfect it.

    I remember Roach said they had worked on it for the Marquez fight but as the saying goes "it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks"

    Lord knows he will need it, if he ever decides to fight Mayweather as you know for sure money will circle away from him power hand with ease.

    manny has always been the faster guy compared to all his opponents so far so he benefits him to keep the fight in the center of the ring. That's where he's primarily trained for fighting so didn't have much need to cut off a ring.

    Then roach sucks at teaching the skillsets of a swarmer to his fighters. Linares, Khan, and pacquiao all suck at fighting inside.
