How Good is Pacquiao's Defense?

[Ravishing]

This is one of the main issues that made me drop money on Cotto. A lot people aren't talking about how well Manny's defense will do in the fight. How often do you think he'll be hit throughout the course of the fight and how will the punches affect him?

Pretty good...He's no mayweather but because of his footspeed, he's able to evade the punches thrown by his opponent....

His offense is his defense. He's like the Indianapolis Colts.

i was about to say this. thank you.
I cant see pac standing in front of cotto like what judah did. As soon as cotto throws, hes outta there. gotta watch out for that cotto counter tho.

His defense really is based on his footwork, rhythm and upper body movement. Not excellent but good enough. At least he puts his hands up and chin down unlike Hatton.

It's good. He's improved it over the years and, in my opinion, showed it best in the DLH fight.

his offence is his defence
only guy who has timed him succesfully is JMM,and he still didnt do enough to win

[sycomantz]

I don't think its all that great, and he is literally jumping into punches, but his speed does compensate greatly for what I perceive as his lack of defensive skill.
