    I don't know about you guys, but this gets me more pumped than any 24/7 show has. Just the quiet confidence each guy has, knowing that they are going to entertain, knowing it could be a fight for the ages. Well done on HBO's part. Only 5 weeks away can't wait.

      Are you kidding? Pac has some of the best footwork in the business right now. You see how quickly he can close a gap springing in and out? The way he danced flurries around Oscar? Did you see how he positioned himself to land that like 4 punch combo on Ricky's head right before landing the right hook for the first kd? It might be hard to see with all the upper movement involved, but it's one makes him what he is right now.

        Pac and Floyd have probably the quickest feet in boxing. The difference is that Floyd uses his footwork to run away, Pac uses his footwork to change angles and keep his opponent turning.

          Pardon me sir but anybody that know about boxing would agree wit me on this. Been fast and have footwork are 2 diff things. How can u say that he has great footwork when half of the time while throwing a punch 1 of his feets is on the air and sometimes he throws a right jab while while his left feet is on the air. He have a great balance and fast legs. All this is what Pac what he is, is nothing wrong that. I love all that out of the book ****......

            Manny has naturally quick feet, you can tell. Only difference from before is he's better at moving in and out in angles.

                Good point, but Pac does have pretty good in and out movement now. He's improved a lot. The foot in the air thing is a good point, he does do that. He just overextends himself to deliver his left hand in a quicker, more devastating motion. Not many fighters can take advantage of that mistake though.

                  Yeah remember the Hatton pics from 2 months before the fight? Cotto won't be so much bigger in the ring. Pac is probably already 145 in that pic.

                    Problem is you have to have good footwork to have good balance and have fast feet. If you have bad footwork then you wont have any balance despite being fast.

                      Thank you for agreed to not disagree, know we're talking boxing. Is not going to be easy for any boxer try 2 take advance of this habit, since he is so fast and unpredictable in the ring. He's just great doing all this out of the books things man.
