Well look at who your forced to base a gameplan off of, not one Paq opponent has ever really had a hard or fast punch.I mean Marquez is fairly fast and strong, not nearly as fast as he was when he was younger but he still managed to deal with Paq fairly easily. But given Paq's general compitition, of course it looks difficult to beat him. But Guzman and Soto I think would have touched Paq up with punches he's been fortunate enough to avoid this far in his career, and it looks like he'll probably retire before ever having to see a real live body with a punch as it is.
But as for what does it take to beat Paq?
He can be hit fairly easily coming in and going out, he gets backed up easily cause he's always bouncing around, so all you would need is a top tier fighter with a chin and a punch, and you could give him a run for his money. Cause not every fighter Paq faces is gonna freeze in their tracks like Oscar or David Diaz and throw punches that look like they're traveling through wet sand lol. I mean Morales was able to stand toe to toe with him, Marquez only got blitzed in one round then figured him out, and the other time he got dropped was when he was reaching (typical for a fighter to get dropped while reaching) and Marquez was never out of that fight since the first round. So just get someone in there with him that will actually throw and that's actually regarded as a live fighter with potential, and you got a completely different fight to look at, cause again, not every fighter is gonna sit there and get pummled by Paq if they have an ounce of life and a highly regarded offense.
I mean you can't even fully gauge Paq's chin or strength accurately as it is since he hasn't really had to brawl it out in these higher weight classes let alone in his career. His biggest win's all came off guys who were never really makin that much noise in their divisions to begin with. So how can you gauge a guy's attributes like that? I mean it took him 8 and 9 rounds of flush shots to take out Diaz and Oscar, it wasn't like they felt the power immediately and collapsed. They just had no offense and ate leather consistently. That's where Hatton comes in, even though Ricky is like the David Diaz of the 140lb division, I think we'll finally see Paq in a different fight for as little or as long as it last's. Only if Ricky had a stronger chin, it would make it more interesting.Comment

lol No one would "want" to get pummled, you ****in ditz. But that's basically what happened. When you can't lift your arms and throw a punch to save your life, or if you were never regarded as a fast puncher to begin with, and you're in there with a guy who doesn't have that knock out power, lol you're just gonna get pummled.Comment
