Pac mans weakness

I think it's playing pool and drinking beer. One of these days his training may suffer. He's off balance sometimes when he throws combos and is suspectible to be countered when he gets a little reckless but that hasn't hurt him much lately except for JMM who's timing is really good. He's improved so much and is harder to hit now but he can get hit when he gets really brave which happens from time to time. And this is a punch from a smaller guy just imagine how he'll act when he gets tag a few times by a much bigger guy with power in his punches.

Kryptonite, a nuclear bomb MAYBE

he has to move to the right! what's the first rule in a southpaw vs. orthodox fight? you keep your lead foot outside their lead foot! that means a southpaw should go to the right and the orthodox fighter to the left. go stand in a southpaw stance in front of someone with an orthodox stance. now put your lead foot (your right foot) to the right of their lead foot (their left foot) now move to the right of your opponent. now move to the left of your opponent. Pink what Champ is saying that he will run into cottos natural hand his left because of his movement away from cottos right. you are correct that he is supposed to avoid the right but cottos stronger hand is his left..

in Paqs last two fights neither of the guys used a jab, at all. Or they are just afraid to throw it. Cause Pacs jab can land first before they can land it to him.

pac's aggressiveness is his strength and his weakness. when he trades he gambles and fortunately, he usually comes out on top. I agree. Which can be exploited by fighters who are intelligent and packed with counter punching abilities like JMM.

I see Paq as having two weaknesses: 1. He loves to exchange and he's been able to get away with it his entire career. The only fight I've ever seen where he didn't flat out exchange is the DLH fight, and that's because Oscar wasn't throwing punches for upwards of 20+ seconds at a time, there was nothing to exchange with. But even in his Hatton fight, especially the 2nd round he was going at it throwing BOMBS trying to get the KO on Hatton. He won't get away with doing that against Cotto, Cotto isn't Hatton in the sense that he just throws he is like JMM in that his timing makes up for any speed he may lack. 2. His hands are held up way too high and he is open for combo's that are mixed in with body shots. Even in the DLH fight, one of the two punches DLH landed had an affect on Cotto and it was the right hook to the body it immediately sent Paq on the ropes, he got away but DLH doesn't know how to cut off the ring. This is why I see Cotto as being so dangerous to Paq. Not only will Cotto willingly sit and exchange with Paq, and/or get Paq to exchange with Cotto but Paq is facing the best body puncher in boxing. Paq has been KO'd by a body shot before, I'm not saying he will this fight he is a much better fighter now, however, he CERTAINLY doesn't have Clottey defense especially in that body area and Cotto was still able to land over 50 body punches on Clottey. Paq won't have nearly that good of defense on Cotto and if he does it means he just won't be active enough and that is not Paqs kind of fight. Also, while I wouldn't call it a weakness for Paq he has to watch the jab from Cotto. Really, in Paqs last two fights neither of the guys used a jab, at all. Hatton I think threw maybe like 3 before he got hit by a solid punch and he immediately went back to his old Hatton ways and just came in with his chin waiting to be hit. DLH, as stated earlier, rarely threw a punch and when he happened to and it was a jab it was slow, inaccurate and really had nothing behind it. Dont quit your day job:nonono:

Pacquiao has a tendancy to be over agressive. However JMM feeds off of thatwhy he looked so good. Cotto looks very bad against aggressive fighters.

He drops his guard after a combination.

check out Pac's right hook at 1:45. he does turn to his left just a little, it's barely noticable because he turns to his right really fast, i think it's mostly a defensive move.

When he hrows his right hook, he always turn to his right, he never turns to his left, he doesnt know how to do it.!!! kind of irrelevant since his right hook is still very powerful just the way it is, plus i think he is not as prone to the counter right hook from a south paw when he turns to his right. plus that's one of the reason why he's so hard to figure out. good observation on the right hook tho, although i dont see it as a weakness

Is that not what makes him more endearing to fans than let's say a mayweather or a roy jones?? The fact that he is human and has shown vulnerability and still come out on top?? Endearing does not make me money gambling. Weaknesses are weaknesses and against certain guys they could possibly be exploited but not everyone can exploit his weaknesses by any means.

He is there to be hit when he throws punches, tends to get wild and off balance. I still find him to not really have great technique. I think if he is forced to really think about what is going on in the ring he loses a lot of fluidity. I have never really seen him come up with a plan b and dominate with plan b. What he does he does well, and he can do more then in the past but he still is not a complete fighter although it takes a very cool customer to really exploit his weaknesses (imo). That or someone who can just take his fire and dish out more then he can dish out, but really he has yet to run into that scenario.

I hear all this talk about how great he is because of his destruction of Oscar and Hatton. He did great regardless of the circumstances. I want the other side though. Lets talk about what weaknesses he has. he gets hit too much, is very prone to counter punches

And Im telling you, he moves to his right, walks into Cottos left hook and he is night night, for Pacquiao!!!!!! I get what your saying but I've seen Pac throw his right hook as a left counter (jab or hook) Do you think Cotto has the hand speed to throw a left, get countered, pull left back and throw another left before Pac is out of the way?

He also telegraphs his lead left by dropping the right hand before throwing it. You can see JMM dodge that shit clear as day.

I hear all this talk about how great he is because of his destruction of Oscar and Hatton. He did great regardless of the circumstances. I want the other side though. Lets talk about what weaknesses he has. His chin is questionable, he holds his hands down on flurries and keeps his back hand down when comming out of flurries. He smothers himself by jumping too far into the pocket. He throws himself off balance when going into flurries that begin with the lead left. He is a head hunter that only throws straight punches. Can brawl and bang but doesn't understand how to BOX which can lead to him losing by points ala getting out-boxed by Morales. Those are all the weaknesses I see in Pacquiao's game. We all know his upsides but people tend to neglect his downsides which is everything I mentioned. Which is why I can understand why Floyd Sr. said Pacquiao is an amatuer boxer.

i think his weakness would be against technically sound, sufficient volume punchers, such as JMM. Again, Styles make fights, every single fighter out there, no matter how great, always has a weakness to different styles. Its the heart, intelligence and certain amount of skill that you need to succeed a win, and Pacman has the whole package. Yet it's going to come to a certain date when he finally approaches a style that he will face difficulty with, maybe a trilogy match with JMM could set the record, or even Cotto, maybe Mayweather? I don't know i can't say, but as far as i can "guess" it is against styles that are more technical and sufficient with their punches.

i have to re-evaluate him to me he is like a bobble body jumping all around i'm with you on that one. pac literally draws rainbows in the air with his head.
