Pacquiao cant fight backing up!

[LIL_KULIT808]

I believe Pacquiao cant fight going backwards. The 10million dollar question is tho....who's gonna be able to back him up??? It damn sure aint gon be Floyd or Marquez.

i only can think of one guy can do that to pacquiao, cotto!!!but he aint that good. he gasses out too fast, cotto have a bad conditioning

I"m not sure why you still say this. Didn't he just own Ricky Hatton while fighting off the back foot and moving? Didn't he just land the KTFO shot by backing up and drawing Ricky onto the punch?

Because i am not a nuthugger. Pacquiao may have taken a couple of backwards steps...but he set his feet and moved the weight of his entire body onto his front foot with that shot.

George Foreman in his prime could have hit Hatton square on the chin with his weight on his heels while moving and it wouldnt have resulted in Hatton being unconcious before he hit the ground.

Well thats how you properly throw a punch. By your logic, neither can JMM fight effectively moving backwards, since he sets his feet first to throw a punch.

Lollers.

Yea, Pac ain't a counterpuncher, but he will fire back when hit.

Anyone else still believe this?

That last punch was so nice...off a backwards step. I can't remember how many times people said Pac can't fight backing up in the buildup to this fight.

There is a reason Pac's opponents don't come to him. Ricky found out why May 2nd.

honestly, I hope all of pac's future opponents believe this because then pac will walk them into traps

You might be right because all the fights I seen him in he was coming forward.

Marquez is a counterpuncher 1st and foremost. Although he has had moments where he has been effective moving backwards...he does not make a habit of it.

Fighters that can be effective throwing while physically moving backwards with their weight on their heels instead of the balls of their feet include Floyd Mayweather Sr, Jr, Roger Mayweather, Joan Guzman, Muhammad Ali.

that was pre PAC-EM1. EM is right on that resulting to his convincing UD win over Pac. i think Roach made an adjustment on that which MP adopts easily.. we know what happen on the trilogy, EM was surging coming forward only to be knocked down by retreating PAC.. that was beautiful.

Pacquiao doesn't have trouble fighting on the back foot. He destroys guys that come forward (Diaz, Hatton).

Pacquiao struggles with counter punchers. (Marquez, Morales)
