I'm proud to say I am a PACNUTHUGGER. So this is a question to fellow fanatics. Do you still enjoy watching dvds of Manny's fights before David Diaz? Like the one's against Barrera, Morales, JMM and B-level fighters too like Solis, Larios, Velasquez etc. I can't seem to enjoy watching them anymore. That was the time when PAC is a plodding one handed fighter who seem to get hit much. PAC fights since Diaz are the ones I watch often now. He became a much refined, cerebral tactician. He sets things up now and takes his opponents heart in every fight. He figures them out in the early rounds and you know right away that he got the game. PAC has eveolved into a very smart ring technician but his primary purpose of brutalizing his opponents remain the same. Thoughts...
I see.
If you're using the A B C levels wherein Guys like Floyd and Pac are A's then you're correct.
But in my almost 10 yrs of Boxing forum existence I have observed that fighters that won legitimate world tittle's weren't considered B level fighters much more 2 Division title holders.
also an opinion.
another way of categorizing them would be
Elite fighters
Former Champions
GateKeepers
Contenders
Prospects
After Morales vs Pacquiao 2, says Emannuel Steward.
I agree TS, its hard to watch his older fights, he only threw a 1-2 the entire fights, very hard to watch.
I thought flomos were Boxing Fans?
If you watch Pac's earlier fights its the progression and maturity of his boxing skill to current day that is visible to all.
His style was one-dimensional but exciting, now his right hand and movement have GREATLY improved.
Its funny that Floyd never reviews tapes, but he was at Pac/Morales and cheering for Pac. He knows what Pac can do then and has improved since, which is probably why he is shook..
Yea. But that's just my opinion.

I really love the Torrecampo fight. The one where Pac gets KTFO. That was a classic.
I also love the heart he showed in that Singsurat fight. Wow was he great that night.
Oh yeah and how the ref helped him survive the Hussein fight
after Hussein dropped Pac with a jab. What a chin Manny showed.
That first Morrales fight was a war. The one where Morrales beat his ass for 12 rounds. Classic
3 Judges scores were 115-113 identical. Stay with the facts, Erik didn't beat PAC for 12 rounds.
Hell yeah I still love watching those fights.
The first Barrera fight is incredible to see the raw skill Pac had.
The two Marquez fights are classics.
The first Morales fight is a hell of a fight and a gutsy performance by Pac.
Cmon man, PAC had him for a tune-up for Morales rubbermatch. Certainly Larios ain't in the league of MAB, EM or Marquez.
I agree on all points. But you didnt answer my question.
Do you consider Oscar Larios as a B level fighter?

Oscar Larios held titles at 122 and 126 That's 2 division titlist for you. Do you consider that B level?

Just imagine how great Pac would be if he found Roach a bit earlier in his career?
Yup like before he became world champ. PAC will probably 56-0 by now.
I bought Pacquiao's DVD back home in Manila for 50 pesos (1 dollar U.S)
What a journey its been and it aint over yet.
The DVD starts with Barrera 1 all the way up to Cotto. Stress reliever once you press play.
Yeah Im just in General mode now my gun slinging days are over...lol.
Going after the Maragrito fans was so much fun...lol.
:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
damn burner, you were always on the headlines cause you couldn't predict a fight for shit...
plus, you were sort of retarded...
:banana:
I agree TS, its hard to watch his older fights, he only threw a 1-2 the entire fights, very hard to watch.
LOL, PAC didnt throw jab jab staright only then the entire fight. He threw other punches too they're just not refined like today. PAC punches were like 80% left hand before now it's 50/50.
Now that's the burner we like to hear, now when you finish putting on lotion for those ashy kneecaps after your fantasy blowing of Floyd you could man-up and stop putting posters on Ignore.
By the way, the chic in my Avy/Sig is Maribel Guardia, google her you spend enough time on the web anyway...
She looks like she could use some protein. No thanks. To each his own though.
Man are you fukking 12?
The hell
lmao
The fukk does my post count have to do with his "fans" not watching him prior to 2008?
Shut the fukk up and comment on the thread boy. Who is that in your avy Xena? Chyna? Get that tranny off your profile than get back to me.

hell yeah that was back when he didnt cherry pick
He skipped some weight classes I wished he wouldve fought in though.
Id love to see him fight Too Sharp and Tim Austin. He still to this day has not fight that type of fighter.
