    No offense mate, because I know what you are trying to say, but it's just not true. He has not improved at all since the Marquez II fight. He has just been able to fight two guys that had no movement and came straight at him with no defense and slow punches. He looked as good five years ago facing guys like that.

    People are trying to see things that are simply not there. He has started throwing his right hand more, and his defense is better due to his in and out footwork but other than that, nothing has changed in Pac's game. He still takes guys out with his left and throws it as his main punch, and still uses the jab, jab, left, but every now and then throws in right hooks.

    You guys see so much more than there is. He's brilliant at what he does, but stop over-analysing it please!
    He has improved, just like he improved from the first Marquez fight to the second. His right is just as dangerous as his left now. I'm not saying he is a completely different fighter, he is still the same guy, but subtle layers have been added onto what was already a top fighter foundation.

      i honestly feel pac's skills are too overrated around boxing message boards. his body attack isn't that great, he has no jab and his defense is questionable. 80% his talent is mostly from his sheer athletic ability.

          I agree with this post. Pac is a straight up badass for sure. I would say his biggest improvement is in what you mentioned, his in and out footwork, COMBINED with his rhythmic fighting. You think you can time it but you can't, he knows exactly when to attack from his movement, and he knows how to break your rhythm a lot better than he used to.

          He is also a better body puncher than before and turns his opponent better with his side step.
