Look at Pacquiao having to nearly stand on his tippy toes to jab the guy. Then the size difference in some pics is almost a joke...

shad in freddy's opinion is the best guy for pac to spar...
Roach said he has lined up the biggest and the best sparring partners for Pacquiao beginning next week with Rashad Holloway who sparred with Pacquiao on Tuesday and said later he felt the power of Pacquiao’s body shots, light middleweight Foreman who stands 5’11 and light welterweight Marvin “Much Too Much” Cordova Jr who is also undefeated with a record of 20-0-1 including 11 knockouts.
Roach said that Holloway who approximates the style of De La Hoya “is the best guy.” Roach said “he is perfect and I’m saving him for next week.”
Its early he will adjust to the bigger men and i think he will weight the same as for the Diaz fight for this only less worrying about cutting down. His speed will be the same and he will have more power. I think DLh has not faced someone with the speed and relentless attack of Pacman. He has fought bigger punchers but not with the speed or will of Pacman. ANd for the record Oscar was in his prime fighting pernell and he is not the same fighter anymore. I think the odd angles Pac throughs may also give DLH some trouble. Peace out
Well Oscar has fought Mosley and Mayweather and well they have faster hands and power. The thing is Pac has never faced anyone like Oscar...He is past his prime but a damn good fighter and that showed against Mayweather. The thing Pac will get relentless and attack and that where the mistakes happen. Oscar fought a guy that punches in odd angles i think his name was MAYORGA and well we saw how that ended...Oscar has fought so many styles that nothing is new to him anymore....Oh Vargas was a pressure fighter also and well he didnt make it past the 11....
hey guys thanks to Kadyo this is what Shad said ...
"Manny is tricky and can just explode anytime, gota be careful of the body shots, i put my money on manny"
here is the link of the short interview with chad, no really sparing action shown, the news said that they asked shad to mimic ODLH style and PAC got problem early on, heated up as the spar go on, hit shad head & body but also got hit quite a bit...
http://teampilipinas.info/2008/10/pacquiao-works-out-with-taller-spar.html
i noticed that manny is reaching up to hit that rasheed guys face...
if i was roach i would say **** hitting oscars head, go to the body exclusively, maybe the odd shot over the top but thats it ....oscars chin is top notch so no way will lil pac knock him out...if he reaches up to the face his punches lose sting and he leaves himself vulnerable to counters, i know when i spar with big guys my coach tells me to drive the shots in to the body...if he does that enough he can wear oscar down for later too
just my opinion, i just think it would be really smart for manny to work the body exclusively and move constantly
+1
Manny have to wear Oscar down for the later rounds. I say, if Oscar can't finish Manny on or before the 8th round, Manny have a good chance winning the fight.
On the last pic I already see Pacs downfall.....He's throwing that right hand with his hand low..........INSERT DLH LEFT HOOK HERE

nah he was just mad that he was credited with saying some of the stuff in there and thats not what he said
and yes it IS a spin to make Manny look good
think about it

you think they wouldnt?
Yeah precisely... that's why like I said I wouldn't give that report much credit nor any other secondhand account. No offense meant to you since you're Rashad's friend nor to Rashad either, but I'd rather see things for myself and videos are far better than pics as far as making conclusions go if you're not in the gym watching the real thing.

I guess you're right about one thing Eaner, Pacman does look good in these pics. Just a thought. :wave:
That’s so true. Videos would be a lot better gauge than a few pics. Frankly, it’s DUMB. There’s more happening in a single throw than what a single frame in time can show.
I wouldn’t count on a report by a Pinoy scribe either on how it went down the same way I won’t be interested in what this Rashad Holloway has got to say or any of Manny’s sparring mates they hired for that matter. If you think this is a spin to make Manny look good, then it’s only fair to assume that Holloway would also try to rosy his account about his own performance. I'm not saying he's a liar but I"d rather rely on my own eyes and my own judgment. Videos please.

The first and 3rd pic are the same but from different angles. Lets do the splits!
I would like to see a vid of the session instead of pics before I can fairly analyze PAC’s chances…still images aren’t really an accurate gauge…its like taking a picture of a football team’s practice and coming to the conclusion of ‘oh yea, they’re definitely losing…look how that guy missed a block’

If anything, those pics reveal how Pac will have a hard time landing a punch against Oscar. Too much extended reaching is a no-no in boxing....if it connects great, if it doesn't you're dead.
I feel sorry for Pac if that's the best he can do.
And you have to add in that De La Hoya is fighting taller than he ever has and in a more relaxed manner. But if Forbes reached him...who knows?
Short left-handed people seem to excel better than tall right-handed people. Just a thought. :wave:
Not fighters 2-3 weight classes bigger than them. Thanks.

come on man keep ur hopes high u never know..i will root for pac no matter what.it takes balls and a great fighter to do what pacquiao has done.
actually I got scared with the PIC's Bro ... it showed PAC's WIDE open for the LEFT HOOK...
it did show pacman looking wide but it sure did connectthough. i saw rashads sparring vid with alfredo angulo in youtube and the boy is pretty quick, good boxer too. Im saying is, if pacman can connect with a faster and more younger boxer like rashad, then what more with dlh who'se past his prime.
yes
see any pics of Manny getting hit? no YET from what I heard from Rashad Manny got hit.....a lot.
and yes I am the official Rashad Holloway nuthugger on this and any board.
im not surprise that manny was hit a lot. Anyways its like only the first day of sparring. mannys still got weeks to adjust. its like diagnostic test, they'll correct mannys mistakes after this i'm sure.
