Style-wise, what former boxer does Manny Pacquiao remind you of?

[baracuda]

Pac doesnt really have a style to be honest, what hes doing is very simple, .

answer to this question is the same answer to this question. " who is the next pacman." Nobody.

what hes doing isnt rocket science. come from a unique angle, unload, get in and get out. simple doesnt imply anything other than that. Just because its simple doesnt mean its easy. Nor does it imply i could do it. I couldnt.

Outside of the likes of Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe or Mayweather.. who would you consider to have a truly complex style? As simple as his style may be at it's core, it's IMO actually more complex then 95% of boxers out there.

I wouldn't consider Mayweather's style complex, its a relatively simple technique but having the timing and speed for it to be affective is the "hard" part.

Watching Pac with head movements/in-and-outs and onslaughts, reminds me of a prime Tyson. But Pac's punches are mostly straight lefts and right jabs. But Tyson does the Dempsey Roll from a peek-a-boo stance.

Complex and simple are such undefined terms as applied to boxing styles that they mean pretty much nothing. What's complex or simple to one fan isn't to another. I can say for sure that a Duddy and Balboa have simple styles.. To say Mayweather is simple is baffling to me.

somewhat a mix of head movement and power (relative to weight) of tyson, feet and ferocity of pryor and aggresiveness and durability of duran. then plus some of his own skills.

ppl talk about his balance being bad. we may see it that way but i think for him it isn't. i see it as his trademark and one his aces. that's where he mostly offsets his opponent coming in and where he creates his weird angle power punches. remember the first KD of pac-em3?
