Is pacquiao pressure fighter?

[GrandpaBernard]

Why or why not

On one hand he’s aggressive and very active throwing tons of punches

On the other hand he doesn’t fight inside and cut the ring off

[QueensburyRules]

- -cuts the ring off just fine when needed, and yeah, always in his range darting around with flashing punches at odd angles, his pressure unique to his one off talents. Has been seamlessly melding boxing nuance and strategy into his style since Freddie got him, one of the all time duos in boxing.

Might as well ask is he a boxer or puncher or jabber because singularly all are true just as your ? is equally limited in scope.

[The Old LefHook]

Someone swing at you that much will make you know it is pressure. He stays at the distance he wants, instead of always slogging forward like Fullmer or Basilio, but it is still pressure, because you have to constantly defend against the fusillade.

[DuckAdonis]

Nah he is not

[GhostofDempsey]

Yes he is, not as much as he was pre-2012, but you can’t sleep on PAC in a fight. If he senses any weakness in your game he is coming for you. He will capitalize on it with forward movement and force you to fight. You can’t just sit back and wait for him like Broner did. Floyd had to rely heavily on clinching and running to survive. Horn got a gift, but same strategy, clinching and dirty tactics.

Horn was the pressure fighter in that fight

Getting boxing lesson from Floyd is why manny status as pressure fighter is questioned

Castillo, Cotto, & Maidana were all capable of cutting the ring off on Floyd to push him to the ropes & launch a body attack

manny looked like a boxer-puncher getting outboxed in the Mayweather fight. The 3 aforementioned Latinos mounted some serious pressure onto the master boxer.

Horn used a distinct size advantage and dirty tactics and still got a gift. Headbutts, rabbit punches, shoving, clinching. Floyd couldn’t put away a one-armed PAC, and turned the biggest fight of his career into a snoozer.

[KingHippo]

He's a swarmer

[ShoulderRoll]

Julio Cesar Chavez is the prototypical example of a pressure fighter. Constantly pressing forward, cutting off the ring, and wearing down the body.

Pacquiao is more of a swarmer.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Ambush fighter instinctively.

But he can become a pressure fighter when he feels the need 'Or of course has no choice'.
