I think he must modify his fighting style if he wants to.

wishful thinking

no way in hell

manny has been taking punches in victory and defeat for almost two decades now. he turned pro in '95 and has been basically a pure aggressor throughout.

i'm guessing he fights 2-3 more times.

threads like this are proof that manny's fans are mostly kids, and they have not watched boxing for more than one generation of fighters.

either that or they're just really, really stupid grown men.

No, that's not his style.

Hopkins changed his style dramatically, but I don't think Pacquiao will do that. He loves fighting too much, he's not going to become a purely technical boxer.

He'd probably get bored.
