Roach copying Tyson's style?

[TheGreatA]

The Cus D'Amato style was quite distinctive. I don't see it in Pacquiao to be honest.

Mike Tyson copied Roberto Duran.

No, he didn't. Roberto Duran was a great fighter, but had nowhere near the head movement and foot speed Mike had.

Son? I think you're talking to the wrong person. Name one fighter who fights more similarly to Tyson than Pacman. WWE sucks.

Pac is nothing like Mike Tyson, dude. Even Cotto's style is closer to Tyson. Pac moves his head a lil bit but doesn't have a peek a boo stance and doesn't bob and weave.
Juan Diaz is the closest to D'amato's style.

I don't think he's copying, but he might be using Mike's style as a blueprint while at the same time playing to Pac's strengths of speed and foot work. Awhile back when Pac was fighting DLH, Mike came by the Wild Card Boxing Gym and gave Pac some pointers on how to fight bigger guys so maybe that's where your getting it from.

I woulda loved to see footage of Mike giving Pac some advice.

Pac was inspired by Tyson to employ the bobbing and weaving because that's how Tyson got those looping punches in, inspite of the bigger opponent's height and longer reach. Tyson knew the angles.

Because Pacquiao is smaller, he looks like Tyson on fast forward. But Pac throws his punches straight.

Tyson was well capable of throwing straight, precise shots as well. A lot of his punches were looping, but he did have a STRAIGHT lead right that was quick as lightning.

tyson doesn't run like a *****.

[Junito-Rulez]

tyson doesn't run like a *****.

Cotto NEVER runs. It's called defense and footwork. Sure you can't know and appreciate it if you're a Tua fan.

[TheGreatA]

HEHEHE! I actually see it!

To some extent, I'm sure Roach and Pacquiao have been inspired by Mike Tyson but Pacquaio has a pretty unique style of his own.
