if pacquiao was orthodox would he still be great?? (poll)

His right does have pop, he's hurt people with the right hand earlier in his career and his jab was always strong enough to punch peoples gloves out of their guard to set-up for the left, not something a peppering jab does. He and Roach have stated that he's naturally ambidextrous, hence the mixed use and strength in both hands. IMO his balance issues had more to do (with his big ass head) his aggressiveness. He didn't wait for the shot to open so he'd lunge in at weird angles to make openings. Being in balance limits the kind of punches you can throw. ^^^the 2nd bold makes sense. and I know he has pop in his right hand now, what I meant was, he would've utilized his right as a more effective jab than he had in his lower weights if it was his better hand. Frankly, I don't think, if he is an indeed converted southpaw (orthodox), he would've lunged in with his left so often, instead he would've jabbed the sh*t outta of whoever with his "natural" right hand (since he chose to fight southpaw). Pac has always had heavy hands, helped in his power in either hand, but I don't see how anybody can possibly think pac is a converted southpaw. (so based on that, for anyone who got lost, I think he is a natural southpaw)

Torrecampo is a southpaw fyi.

lmao, how does this even matter? I'm pretty sure he shoots his jumpers left handed. if he was really a righty, he would've had more pop in his jab at the lower weights and relied less on the straight left.

U people haven't realized pac is an orthodox fighter that fights southpaw?? He signs autographs with his right hand. Holds mics with his right hand when he sings. Handles the rock with his right when playing basketball. So yes he would have been less off balance at the lower weights if he fought orthodox.

If Muhammad Ali had no arms, would he have become world champion? If Superman couldn't fly, would he still be able to save the world? If cobras weren't venemous, would they still kill people? If Usain Bolt had become a doctor, would he have the 100m record? IF OP WEREN'T SUCH A DUMB MOTHER****ER, WOULD HE HAVE STARTED SUCH AN INANE THREAD???

He probably would have had to use more skills earlier in his career so who knows, he may have been forced to be more technically sound and develop his left hand earlier than his right was. His spirit, athleticism and early experience played alot more in making him who is is than his stance.

same footwork, same power (mirrored), same stamina, same movement, but orthodox...would he still be as great?? what does stance have to do with greatness?:wtf: if he has the same wins...same accomplishments, it doesn't matter whether he's orthodox or southpaw:spank:

same footwork, same power (mirrored), same stamina, same movement, but orthodox...would he still be as great?? he would still be great, but without the southpaw angles he won't be as great.

considering how he beats other southpaws, he'd be even better
