MANNY PACQUIAO: Good or Bad Timing?
Collapse
-
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!Last edited by We want Floyd; 08-30-2009, 02:04 PM.Comment

Pacman’s timing is way off, and is quite poor. The sole reason his timing looks good is becasue he has NEVER fought a slick boxer.His speed makes up for his bad timing. 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.
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.Comment

Then what do you call Juanita, a statue like Flattened? LOL.

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.Comment
