Manny Still hasn't fought any slick fighters!

Bradley, JMM etc are more of a technical fighters than slick fighters, They dont slip punches, they are prepared to get hit to land punches of their own. I guess I need to watch more Bradley then... I considered him a lot closer to Dawson than Marquez, but I may be wrong.

Why is Bradley not slick? He's always looked slick to me. Bradley, JMM etc are more of a technical fighters than slick fighters, They dont slip punches, they are prepared to get hit to land punches of their own.

What does everyone else think?? Have Roach and Arum blatantly been avoiding bad style matchups?? Manny Pacquiao Still Hasn’t Fought Any Slick Fighters Thursday, March 25, 2010 By Jamal Dicky Many boxing fans were impressed with Manny Pacquiao’s one-sided victory over the immobile Joshua Clottey. Pacman is a fireball and he is extremely well conditioned but his style is so flawed that any slick fighter can exploit him easily. Juan Manuel Marquez showed how easy it is to pick Manny Pacquiao apart. You have to give credit to Bob Arum and Freddie Roach for handling Manny Pacquiao’s career. They carefully picked opponents that were tailor made for the small Filipino southpaw. The casual fans are very fickle; they will buy into any hype sold to them. Pacquiao is that hyped up product, he looks amazing against the right opponents. Joshua Clottey who just held his hands over his face hoping not to be knocked out. Oscar De La Hoya defeated himself by coming to the fight weight drained. Ricky Hatton came in head first with his hands by his side inviting the knockout. Miguel Cotto was never the same after the beating he received from Antonio Margarito. Pacquiao had a list of worthy fighters to choose from; Devon Alexander, Timothy Bradley, Nate Campbell, Paulie Malignaggi, Yuri Foreman, Cory Spinks instead Pacquiao opted to take on a Joshua Clottey, a guy who despite his size doesn’t punch hard, stands in front of you and is not fast or slick. That fight turned out to be boring and uncompetitive with Manny winning a very easy decision against a man who was like a human punching bag. Manny beat up on a bigger welterweight like Clottey, which is not impressive since the bigger man didn’t fight back. All Pacquiao did, was throw wild power combos all night hoping something lands flush on Clottey. This is not the UFC or Mixed Martial Arts, boxing is a sweet science and Pacquiao’s style of brawling and wild punches has no science, it’s something that ultimate fighting fans would enjoy, that’s probably why the UFC president Dana White is a huge Pacman fan. Pacquiao isn’t scared of needles, he isn’t on steroids or HGH, and he isn’t scared to give blood, those were all excuses to get out of a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. the true pound-for-pound king. Pacquiao’s handlers know their fighter well, and they know he cannot fight slick counter punchers, so, they avoid them at all costs. This is probably why Manny Pacquiao is hoping for Shane Mosley to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 1. Mosley is another perfect style match up for Pacquiao. Shane Mosley is a guy who will swing at Manny and come forward fighting Pacquiao’s fight. Pacquiao’s arms are so short that when opponents try to go toe to toe with him, his shots land first giving him the advantage. Pacquiao won’t be able to do that with the elusive Mayweather. Mayweather won’t be there to be hit, he will give Manny Pacquiao so many angles and make him miss. Clottey was able to touch Manny when he threw punches, now picture Floyd Mayweather in that ring against Pacquiao; it would be a beautiful display of boxing mastery. Floyd Mayweather Jr. would be painting a picture, Pacquaio’s face would be the canvas, and Floyd’s fist the paintbrush. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_arD7l20zbC0/SdrhBpdQPiI/AAAAAAAAAHY/_x6b8KAh5wY/s320/StopHatin.jpg

Difficult to see a lot of slick fighters around at the moment, But to me Guzman is slick, Mayweather, Spinks, Lucian Bute, Paulie M... etc JMM is not slick, Bradley is not slick. Why is Bradley not slick? He's always looked slick to me.

Paulie was never slick to begin with? You know shit about boxing, its completely obvious now. not in my book. He is more flash than substance in the sense he looks slick but really isn't. The key to being slick is slipping and dodging punches, something he really isn't great at (he gets caught with too much bullsh1t). If a Juan Diaz who is ever slower at 138 can repeadily catch you flush with regular punches, then you aren't slick. Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep, Floyd Mayweather, Charlie Burley, Mark Johnson (when he wanted to be), Ivan Calderon, etc are all slick. Malignaggi is most defiantly not.

There was no all of a sudden, because those guys were never slick to begin with. Nice try though.... Paulie was never slick to begin with? You know shit about boxing, its completely obvious now.

Exactly. that dudes an idiot. Suddenly a fighter isn't slick cause he got hit. Regardless, he still fights a slick fight. There was no all of a sudden, because those guys were never slick to begin with. Nice try though....

Then who you consider slick? Exactly. that dudes an idiot. Suddenly a fighter isn't slick cause he got hit. Regardless, he still fights a slick fight.

Guzman, Bradley and Malignaggi are all slick as hell. Just my take on things.

Big deal. If he fights Floyd then he is fighting a slick fighter. So what's to complain about?

Then who you consider slick? You tell me. You guys are the one's saying Pac has ducked slick fighters and I've been asking "who" for the longest.

He beat JMM twice and JMM at 135 is pretty slick. Why Pac is being discredited for beating Joshua so easy is anyones guess. Considering Clottey gave everyone he ever fougth major problems. SHows how great Pac is. Marquez is not a slick fighter by any stretch of the imagination.

maaan TS post = Pro Pacquiao examiner posts. giant fail

Im out...but since these cowards ducked my question...I'll go ahead and kill any of this b.s. of pac ducking slick fighters Tim Austin and Mark Johnson- Both fought at 118, a division pac never competed at and was to big to drop down to. Junior Jones-Him and Pac were never in the same division at the same time Freddie Norwood-By the time Manny was at 126, Freddie was on a 3 year plus hiatus from boxing Kevin Kelley-not slick and completely shot when pac got to 126. Joan Guzman-Real talk Guzman is not slick, Ali funeka thought you that and will again show you when they fight for the second time. He only look slick against slow ass humberto soto. Zaheer Raheem-Him an Pac weren't even in the same weight class. Pac had just gotten to 130, so to move up to 135, especially after a loss at 130, is fukkin retarted. I can't believe people try to spin this as a Pac duck. IF he would have fought him, people would cry that he didn't avenge his loss and was ducking Morales. Nate Cambell-dude is not slick at all. Only thing is he is african american. If he is slick then so is Cotto, Barrera, and others. Paulie Malignaggi-dude aint slick one bit whats so ever. You don't get hit as much as he does to be considered slick. If slow ass Juan Diaz, who is even slower at 138, can hit he flush repeatedly, you are not slick Tim Bradley-again this dude is not slick and is only African American. Also his only win was over Junior Witter at the time, and was basically a no body at 140 lbs when Pac fought Hatton. Hatton was the Ring champ and #1 guy, so why in the hell would you pick bradly over him? Shane Mosely- Dude ain't slick at all Then who you consider slick?

No Cotto fan should ever talk bad about DeMarcus Corley... and you know exactly why.

ok I see were there is confusion. I completely worded that wrong. I didn't mean "it was to crown the lineal champ", even tho I typed that, I meant it was for the lineal title...something in which Sasakul already had. Sorry man...it's just I posting fast and responding to 3 threads right now...lol :lol1: It's all good.

Sorry man, I think I confused you. :lol1: Sasakul was already the lineal champ. When you said 'crown a lineal champ' I thought you meant that the lineage starts there. It doesn't, it goes back to the 70's. The lineage hasn't been broken since it started. ok I see were there is confusion. I completely worded that wrong.

Cool. I was aware of them fighting at 112 but I just thought it was no point in bringing it up because by the time Pac become a legit player in the division, Johnson was making an exit to scoop up Tapia's vacant super flyweight belt. I wouldn't even reply to you like this, but I know some Floyd fans would take what you said and twist it to fit an agenda.....lol I thought I did but maybe your right. I alway wondered about that though because Sasakul was the top fighter in that division at the time (atleast to my knowledge). Why wasn't it for the lineal belt if Sasakul was considered the best in the division at the time? Sorry man, I think I confused you. :lol1: Sasakul was already the lineal champ.
