        PAC's left straight I'd say is Elite status. There hasn't been one fighter that he hasn't buzzed with that punch, whether it was a slick fighter like Juanita or a statue like Flattened.

        PAC's right hook on the other hand, hmm, I'd say it's gone from so-so to good, depending on who he is fighting. He's usually accurate with the right hook as a counter to an opponent who is coming forward, he likes to use it to counter an opponent's jab.

        Overall, I think PAC's timing is above average. I'd give him elite, but I'd like to see that hook land more in different scenario's, not just as a counter-punch. He's most effective with the hook with the "help" of his opponent!

        PAC's jab, he's generally a "flick" jabber, but I've noticed that he has added some thunder to his jab in recent outings, however, he hardly lands it on a consistent basis.

        PAC's uppercuts
        - It's not a punch that he really loads up on, but, it seems he has had a good attempt/land ratio, so I'd say it's between elite or B, but again, it's not something that he throws alot of, but he's fairly accurate with the uppercut when he throws it.

        So I give PAC a B-grade for overall timing!

          Manny may be a small guy compared to fighters such as DLH, Hatton or Floyd, but his speed and timing are great.

He looks awesome against one dimensional fighters such as Diaz/Hatton. And looks “great” against past their prime or shot fighters in Morales/Oscar. If Pacman fought some who has great reflexes, handspeed and footwork, he will get OWNED. Hence why Pacman does not want to fight any American fighters.
            Then what do you call Juanita, a statue like Flattened? LOL.

            Sasakul was also a slick fighter, Ledwaba had good head movement as well! Too many *d*ot American fans confuse having a flashy style with being a slick fighter.

            ****, even Solis had good head movement. He just didn't have any other weapons to really compete with PAC.

              Elite but not on the scale of other elite fighters.

                Mayweather vs Pacquiao is the ultimate test.

                  Are you comparing some clowns with the likes of Bradley and Floyd Mayweather

                  JMM was able to outbox and school Pacman. Imagine what a prime slick fighter would do Pacman. He would be made to look like Gatti.

                    His hand and foot speed make it easier for him to time fighters, also he is just a great fighter. Just about everything about him is elite.

                      Pacquiao is Pacquiao. Gatti is Gatti. They're two different fighters.
