Look how he counters Cotto's jab perfectly, his best wepon. If you watch the Pacquiao even up to the 2nd Marquez fight, all he did was try to knock you out and get into a slug fest, he didn't set shit up. Proof for all flomos how much he's improved, I don't wanna hear about that Marquez fight any more.
So because he countered a jab that mean he has new found skill?
He countered JMM in his first fight a few times. Thats nothing new with Pac. Thats basic ass boxing. He shouldve known how to do that at 16.
I wont be able to see if hes improved until he fights a boxer who wont walk right at him.
And Cottos best punch is his left hook not his jab.
Yeah, I agree with this.
Pacquiao has improved though but he made up for lacking in certain areas by doing different things. The video really doesn't show anything new.
PacMan has come a long with with Roach. I think what's most improved since his fights with with JMM is his footwork. PacMan used to always get his feet bo-jangled when he threw his straight right and would lose his balance, and he would give up the outside to fighters(Orthodox fighters) which would cause him to have a lot more problems defensively than he needed to. He now seems to be much better at matching his footwork with his attack plan to avoid having to use his natural reflexes to avoid punches.
Still I'm abit skeptical about how well he can deal with a fighter with a great straight right hand. Against Clottey he blocked most of them with his head which is not a great idea against most fighters and he hasn't fought a true right handed fighter with a solid straight right since JMM(Clottey has a good one but Pac found a better solution which was to simply throw an infinite amount of punches at the hesitant Clottey). Let's hope PacMan continues to fight great opponents because with each fight he seems to correct or invalidate any old mistakes or perceived weaknesses he had.
he's always had boxing ability period.. u just gotta point him to the right direction and thats where roach comes in.. if anything roach provided new strategies for him, das all
i just said judah does all of those but the punches...that's right--judah is a better puncher than pac in terms of throwing punches technically which can catch floyd--and did at times---judah is a technician compared to pac--a much better boxer than manny---he fights on his toes more than manny does when he throws his punches sharp---manny bounes but then flurries in and out flat foooted for the most oart---manny bounces in an out mainly for movement, not punching--it's an improvement on manny's part, though--
haha burners such a fuuckin idiot.
Cottos jab put clottey on the canvas
Why dont you read the post he responded to idiot. No where in that post did I say Cotto doesnt have a good jab.
I said thats not his best punch the left hook is. Learn to read jackass.
sure he has improved---but you have to understand how many types of jabs there are out there and if you were trying to make a point about him vs floyd--then you're sadly misguided---cotto threw his jabs flat footed okay? remember that---floyd throws his jabs for the most part on his toes and he feints when he throws them---which is why he lands them so crisp---he threw them flat footed against jmm because he saw so many openings---but cotto's timing is so bad compared to floyd's---but pac has improved--no doubt--still won't help him when and if he fights floyd---he will be tagged all night---if clottey landed at will when he threw--throwing the type of punches he threw at pac--imagine what floyd will do--who is a much better puncher in terms of thrwoing much much more complex shots and having better stamina, better accuracy, better timing, better body positioning---it's already figured out how bad floyd will expose pac's flaws---just wait and see---cakewalk fight for floyd--i guarantee you---

Paq haters dont want to hear about the concept of self improvement, because their favorite fighter was given the best from the very beginning and Paq has earned his skills, and his standing in the sport today, the hard way.
You are a damned idiot

Paq didnt start boxing AT ALL until he was 16, what, he is supposed to learn how to counter a jab the first day? Manny Pacquiao did not have the LUXURY of growing up surrounded by proffessional fighters such as Jeff, Roger, and Floyd Mayweather Sr. Shut yo8r mouth and engage your mind. Mayweather was learning the basics of boxing when he was 3 years old, I have seen videos of him wearing boxing gloves when he was a toddler, he had a long amatuer career, and was given top notch tutoring on his subject matter his entire life. Paq dove headfirst into pro boxing at the age of 16 as a one handed knock out artist, and didnt get training on the fine points of the sweet science at all until he was about 25 years old. If he had grown up with the advantages of your punk-ass hero, he would likely be undefeated as well, but not nearly as spoiled, arrogant, and ignorant.
yeah add to that judah lacks the stamina and pac can throw those punches in bunches for the whole 12 rounds.
i just said judah does all of those but the punches...
judah does all of those but the weird angles.

"I want to see him fight a guy who wont walk to him"
Well, If someone is faster than you then they will outbox you from the outside, the only way you can win is by hitting them and the only was you can hit them is to get close.
There's a reason most fighters don't try to just counter punch Pacquiao, this new Pacquiao anyway.
you could say the same about floyd. He didn't face a southpaw who throws weird angle of punches who is a strong and as fast as him.
judah does all of those but the weird angles.
He said defensive. I mean slick.
But anyway Clottey is defensive minded but hes not a counter puncher by any stretch of the imagination and he cant mix offense and defense.
Him fighting Floyd will tell us all we need to know about Pacquiao.

Come on you dont have to build up Pac man buddy he is already a legend no matter how he goes against floyd or anyone else to that matter!!!
good stuff man, both are legends, them fighting each other will be epic regardless of the outcome
So everything up to now is not worth praise? PAC will only get credit from so-called fans like you when he fights Mayweather. Is resume up to now is shit.
Did I say that?
Or did I say him fighting a guy who wont just stand in front of him will show me if hes improved or not.
Yeah I figure that, I just wanted to say that. But honestly, Pac wants you to open or throw a shot so your exposing yourself as well. He feeds off that. He'll swamp Fraud with activity and once those shots start landing and taking effect, Fraud will crumble. :smashfrea
Floyd is not Clottey bro.
