Is Manny Pacquiao the most technical brawler in the history of boxing?

I agree. He didnt look spectacular when fighting against a counter puncher. He hasn't faced a pure boxer to date so youre right. Duran who I also consider a technical brawler has beaten a pure boxer in SRL.

He was extremely lucky to get those wins and got countered at will, Even Cotto who is more of a brawler than a boxer caught Pacquiao alot coming in.

Cotto isnt a brawler. He is more like a textbook puncher/boxer.

Chavez is overrated, resume wise and skills wise. Manny's skills and resume >>>>>>>>>> Chavez's skills and resume. Morales was a better technical fighter when the 2 fought but now Manny has surpassed Erik ability wise.

lol Manny gets all the praises in the world. I remember the first knockdown against Ricky (right hook, roll under) people were flabbergasted by that knock down.

Someone who is offensive minded, always coming forward, high workrate and puts alot of pressure.

PED's make you look better than you really are.

So by your definition Amir Khan is a brawler?

Amir is a natural boxer. With Harrison he adapted the 'brawler' style but now with Roach he is becoming an offensive minded boxer that can also fight on the backfoot.

You kidding? Pacquiao overshoots punches at times and ends up with his left foot catching up with his right when he shoots it, plus he gets hit and does not parry hardly anything.

Pacquiao's athleticism is why he is able to get away with a lot of that.

Pacs upper body and foot movement using his stamina is incredible it gives him the ability to attack laterally n different angles, this is his technical ability...so yeah u cud say he is one of the best technical brawlers..
