    I Think Pacquiao's Prime is Now!

    I don't think Pacquiao was prime when he fought Barrera, Marqez and Morales.

    Although Pac beat and KO them, Pac's style was just 1-2 Straight Left going foward all the time.. He is not Patient and his style is repeatitive.

    Lately, his head movement, footwork is amazing.. He moves side to side from angles.. He was very patient against Oscar and didn't rush out.. he throwed Right Hook against Oscar and he was this 4-5 combination from first step.

    Against Oscar, Manny never stayed on the ropes and inside Oscar, he's moving very well around the ring..

    He's in his prime now but I think he was in his prime when he fought Marquez earlier this year, Marquez just has the style to make him look very bad.

      I agree style makes fight and counter punching ability makes it hard for a fighter.. I think a prime is when his skills really developed.. Dude when was at 122, Pacquiao is throwing 1-2 straight left... Against Morales 1, Did you see Pac used his right hand and footwork? Where's the movement, footwork and combinations?

      The 2nd Barrera fight, he was very patient and didn't rush out like what he used to be at 122 and below..

      Did you consider Pac prime like the MAB 1 when all Pac do is throw 1-2 straight left? Although it was effective being a lefty..

      Now he used that double and triple jab then left straight combinations from the body to the head

        His right hand has been improving since the first Marquez fight, same for the footwork but yes, his footwork and right hand weren't as good back then as they are now, he's a much more well rounded fighter now.

          Did you saw everytime Pac hits Oscar with his straight left, he moves directly to the right side to avoid the left hook of Oscar? And his head movement too.. i don't really see that a lot when he was at lower weights.

                  His movement was really good, he was moving well to neutralize DLH's main punches but DLH didn't have much to offer.

                  I really don't believe that, I believe that he's a natural lightweight and can still make the weight without much difficulty, he didn't fight like a weight drained fighter at all, Marquez just has his number.

                    Everytime Oscar jabs, Pacquiao backs off.. When Oscar throwed power punches, Pac used his head movement, while moving from all angles simultaneously.

                    The fight with Marquez was at 130 and before it happens the Diaz was suppose to got first because he complained about the weight.
