Why do people think Pacquiao has changed as a fighter?

Cotto is the only one who has won a round against Manny in what, around two years? His counterpunching skills get overshadowed by the fact that he does almost everything extremely good at the ring. Of course we all know how weak spots: fighting backwards and plaster. no doubt....he was outboxing the **** out of margo til the ko(dont wanna commment on the plaster thing bro coz i honestly like them both)..i think hes prett good fighting backwards compared to most current elites now including pacman...

ouch.....flomos dont consider cotto a counter puncher coz he lost to pac...lol Cotto is the only one who has won a round against Manny in what, around two years?

That was my point dumbf*ck, Coach roach has been picking fights, tailor made match ups for Pacquiao, fighters that come forward. Why do you think the mayweather fight isnt happening? or even when it is there is always a drama on Pacquiaos side of the team. Everyone who knows what happened in the past, also knows if pacquiaos dumbass team took the 50-50 offer from floyd before the fight would have happened by now, but pacquiao would have suffered a loss, so arum thought why not milk him and make some $$$ from his cash cow in pacquiao before he loses. lol at you n0g..Tell me which fighter Pac should fight at welterweight who has a similar style of JMM? Don't tell me about Floyd who is currently on vacation looking for his lost balls. Tell me genius?:thinking: or :bryce:

This is a deception...amongst some boxing fans, mostly who are fans of Pacquiao. I dont think his style has changed, he is still the same fighter he was when he fought Marquez, the only thing is he has got tailor made match-ups for him, thanks to the expert Freddie Roach. I think if Pacquiao faces a good counter puncher in the ring, he is in trouble, but someone who is just aggressive will always look bad against him, for e.g. Margarito next. PEDS dont have nothing to do with your boxing style dumba$$, they just increase your stamina and endurance which help you last longer and you dont get tired or exhausted easily throughout 12 rounds. Pac even with PEDS can get outboxed like he did againt Marquez, also you can still get hit and hurt while on PEDS. so you think PAC is on PEDS?

Pacquiao murdered Cotto, which is an extremely good all around boxer with above average pop. ouch.....flomos dont consider cotto a counter puncher coz he lost to pac...lol

I sometimes wonder if people are in denial about some boxers' skills.

And how do u know that u stupid bastard? Come on nog...we both know JMM is old now and Pac will destroy him between 140-147 unlike the vacationer cheated him at the scale. there is no way he punch harder than Hatton, Cotto or Clottey to be respected by Pac like when they fought at lower weight classes. This is the fact nog saw by many unbiased boxing fans.:bottle::bottle::bottle:

ts don't know ****... none of pac's recent opponents have similar styles That was my point dumbf*ck, Coach roach has been picking fights, tailor made match ups for Pacquiao, fighters that come forward.

stop being such f***kin' bitter trolls. There's currently ONE PERSON, and one person only, that can beat Pacquiao from 135 to 150lbs....and that's Floyd (if he brings his absolute best game, and fights the fight of his life). please find another "counter puncher" that'll beat Pacquiao. If you say JMM, you deserve a lifetime ban from NSB. if you want Manny to fight Floyd....like every other boxing fan, casual and avid, then just f**kin' say so...

TS thinks its still 2003. :beerchug:

PEDS dont have nothing to do with your boxing style dumba$$, they just increase your stamina and endurance which help you last longer and you dont get tired or exhausted easily throughout 12 rounds. Pac even with PEDS can get outboxed like he did againt Marquez, also you can still get hit and hurt while on PEDS. all you have is a rumor but floyd's xylocaine use is well documented....

ts don't know ****... none of pac's recent opponents have similar styles

Pac even with PEDS can get outboxed like he did againt Marquez, also you can still get hit and hurt while on PEDS. is he really on PED's?

And how do u know that u stupid bastard? becuase the current version of jmm struggles with a juan diaz in his comfortable weightclass.........lol......h could'nt beat pac at his best form, youthink he have a chance at his worst?....

You have to pick only one. Its either that or He's on PEDS.. Is that your final answer?

Their isn't that many great counter punchers out there. I dont think he'll ever face a counter puncher as good as Marquez because Marquez was the best.

yes because clottey , cotto , diaz , delahoya , hatton and margarito all fight the same way. :dunce: i just love the "he's avoiding counterpunchers" argument. last i checked all 3 of his losses......none were to a counterpuncher. END OF THREAD! Seriously, are they any fighters up there who fights like JMM? I know Pac destroys JMM right now. Oh yeah! there is another one but too bad he is on vacation looking for his lost balls.
