    Caleb Plant
    Inoue
    Spence

    are 3 boxers I'd say are more skilled than Pac.
    Mid-late rounds in Thurman fight was more stamina from being 40 yrs old than skills

      Technical skills pac is not up there

      But instinctual, natural skills pac is up there now and even with the greats

      Pac doesn't have the greatest boxing technique

      But if you watch him in exchanges, he's fluid and throws every punch with snap

      If pac plays defense and thinks about it, his defensive skills is basic sometimes

      Now watch him in exchanges

      Where he doesn't think and everything is all instinct and reflexes

      He makes them miss while landing his own

      That's why he wins so many exchanges with guys that have better technical skill than him

      Pac is a smart fighter and makes a lot of adjustments but he isn't the most technical

        I think a lot of Pac fans don't see the technical skills of Manny.

        There's a method to his madness.

        He's actually brilliant.

          He would not have been able to make it this long if he didnt have skills.

            Lomachenko is overall the most skilled fighter in the bisness imo

            but Pacquiao has to be very skilled to keep competing at the highest level at his age.

              Manny is extremely skilled and a legend who will lose in 2 weeks to the younger, bigger, stronger, man with better stamina and a better chin.

                He does a lot of things not "technical"

                That's what makes him different

                If he was more "technical" he might not be as good as he was

                  PAC is getting by with good skill but moreso experience. He never been a greatly skilled guy, why he always had problems with Marquez even though Manny became a better 147lber.

                  I think his footwork and angles are the most elite thing about him skill wise.

                    I think Pac is elite skill. It's just counterpunchers give the impression of being more skilled. Look at Pac s fight where his opponents tried to be macho against him.

                      The technical word derives from the word Technique. That in itself is skill. Skills that got him where he is are his techniques that are unorthodox but are effective skills that made him great. If you can't see the difficulty in his techniques. Then you don't appreciate why it is, "technical."
