[Video] Pac look BIG but slow?! Top rank vid.

He looks slower than some other videos, but training days can start slowly and pick up pace. In media workouts boxers often operate at a lower work rate on purpose. But, the main problem I see, considering the way he's throwing his 3 punch combo, is that he's open to the type of Marquez uppercuts that Cotto seems to be practising in his training vids. Could just be an illusion though, we'll have to see on fight night.

i think you all are making too much of this video...pac will come in at a lighter weight than he did against hoya...so what are you talking about "added weight"...he is basically a welterweight now...

lol, he was barely trying...he was clearly showing off for the cameras and audience. In one shot he was smiling at Roach when people were taking pictures as if he thought it was a joke. As calm and controlled as he was, he was still throwing punches faster than 90% of all welters- if he was trying, the cameras would not be able to capture his punches.

Is it just me or does Pac look sluggish? I am not sure if he is handling the weight properly. He did not look as fast as when he was against Oscar. He doesn't look that slow, but there is 2 weeks till the fight anyway and it might have just been an off day for all we know. Or he might have been warming up.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. He looks plenty fast to me. In fact, if real boxing were training camp videos, Pacquiao would land 300 punches before Cotto threw one.

This is following his arrival to Wild Card. Reported he's 150lbs in this video with jet lag. Also noted that they are aiming to come in around 143lbs for weigh-in and 148lbs for fight night. Supposely it's hard to keep the food on Manny to keep him up in weight. As soon as he stops eating, I'm sure his weight will take a dive. Also, let's not think he's slow compared to his 126-135lbs videos where he was still very light and 10x faster.

I hate to agree with Rob, but Pac looked slow in that vid he looks sluggish and uncomfortable with the added weight and bigger body complexion.

He was showing off for camera's, he isn't going to go full bore. I hate when people post stuff like this. Someone posted a video of Cotto a few weeks ago where he had some love handles on him... it was 2 months before the fight. And Paq doesn't look all that big at all, I do recall Roach saying they might hit 150, but I don't think it will affect his speed at all. They came in at 148 for DLH and Hatton, another 2 pounds shouldn't be a problem. Indeed....

He looks a bit off compared to some of the other videos I have seen him in... But, what hour and day was this in training? He is human; he'll have his ups and downs like everybody else. He's the same weight so it isn't the weight. He works incredibly hard so he is bound to have some off days. He looks like he is about to go to sleep when he is jumping rope. He'll be rested and peak for fight-time like always. Freddie said he understands how to get Pac to his peak by then and results have proven him right.
