I would bet my life 95% of pac haters started watching him when he fought DLH (And/or have never laced gloves up themselves.)
I started watching when he fought Barrera. I always loved him but thought he was just going to be a novelty, a flash in the pan brawler. I watched him improve and improve and improve into the complete animal he is today.
Pacquiao is a F**cking freak of nature, who has perfected a uniqe style laced with alot of the mechanics that go into fundamental boxing (things that the layman can't see unless its put in slow motion for they don't know what to look for)
Truth.. good post.
wlad he makes adjustments. he sets you up an put you out. manny is a little rock em sock em robot.

poll has been added
guess who gets my vote
bro, wlad is a great fighter, it's a shame both Klits weren't born in a different era but the fact is the purest form of boxing is observed in the lighter weight classes. I feel like heavyweight boxing is now almost a different sport, the heavies are taught the same fundamentals but the sport at that weight is contended completely differently. Pacquiao is a far more skilled fighter and you were only doing Wlad an injustice by trying to compare the two.
Floyd Mayweather is better than Manny in every department. Juan Manuel Marquez (won both fights imo) = Pacquiao. Good, not great. The rest of it is pure hype.
You are a moron. I feel bad for you and your future generations.
Sometimes, I don't understand what is skills and which one is better. Pac fought a lot of boxers (Sasakul, Ledwaba, Barrera, JMM, Morales and Oscar) people thought would beat him as they are miles more skillful than him. So which one you be rather one? be a winner or a loser with skills?
Put up a poll.
Manny btw, and it's not even close. Wlad can't fight inside at all. Anytime someone gets inside that long ass jab, he looks extremely uncomfortable and always ties up.
I'm not hating on him at all though. I do think Wlad controls distance better than Manny and obviously has a better jab. Overall though Manny is a more complete fighter. He has fought the much better competition and looked more impressive.
To be fair both have serious skills. You can't dominate in your division without any skills to beat equally skillful opponents. Note: In any moment, the flomos will turn this thread upsidedown in favor to their coward queen.
I don't think manny is as skilled as people think. I think he's a freak athlete and is one of the most explosive fighters right now. I actually think Nonito is more skilled. With that said. Wlad is a fuken robot, he just knows how to use his size
One a jab jab jab, jab jab, right cross, jab jab jab, jab jab type of fighter
The other has a great lead straight left, left hook, counter right up, a combo puncher, great footwork, head movement.
Come on not even close.
LOL.... yeah, Gayevid is so skilled he has to rabbit punch all his opponents with wild looping punches and gets hit easily by an old Ruiz and Barrett. Not to mention he hasn't and will not face anyone younger than 40 at HW.Too bad Wlad ducked him
Wlad doesnt need to weight drain his opponents, he doesnt need catchweights, wlad doesnt even know the english word for catchweight. Wlad's a true warrior, hes just like, "come to the ring, any weight you want, and ill destroy you." Manny meanwhile wont come tot he ring unless his opponent is less than the weight they are fighting at for some reason and he demands his opponents pay millions if they are even 1 pound heavier than they promised. Oh and when Povetkin asked Wlad to take Olympic style testing, Wlad was like sure thing, you can draw my blood between rounds. Manny...manny is still hiding from the tests. Wlads a true skillful boxer. Manny is an illusion.
it is important since that is the the topic and question of the thread.
if u want to do a thread about accomplished go right ahead.
i just asked a question about their skills and who had the better skills.
i'm just saying because there's really no way to quantify skills so threads like yours usually end up in stupid debates. but then maybe that's what you wish to happen so yeah i must leave your thread now before it drags me down to your inanity.
who got more skills is really not that important. what matters most is accomplishments. what came out of those skills...that's the more compelling aspect about a fighter. now if there's a fighter who got inferior skills but accomplished more than those who got more skills than him then that says a lot. that only proves skills is not everything...it's just one of the many ingredients to become a sucessful fighter.
