Call me crazy....i think pac is better fighting backward

[strugler]

Manny can't fight going backwards, I still just think he's a slugger. When he faces someone who slows the fight down, and 100%, superior skill, he won't win. And the only person that can do it, is the person they may price himself out.

your opinion........ofcourse if pac gets beat.........it would be safe that boxer had 100% superior skill........get my drift.............till then i still thinks its better for him to fight backwards

more polished for me..........the old pac was all about the one-two.................all about aggression...........i like the controlled agression better..................less open to counters

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! let them *****s underestimate pac

I don't think he's better, but it's a good thing to see that he CAN fight backwards if he has to. He actually did it against Hatton for the most part which let him see the openings Hatton makes when he jumps in. He also did it with Oscar and picked him apart that way. But Pac at heart is at his best going forward. You can't change someone whose done something all their career and Pac was always going forward bombing. Now he's under more controlled aggression while maintaining the killer instinct. I'd expect him to set traps if he faces Floyd but still maintaining his forward motion to bank rounds.

Crazy. Pac is a boxer-puncher now, but still, he a forward fighter.

I think that he has always been a boxer-puncher.

Because even early in his Ledwaba days.. He uses his jab to set up power punches. That's a boxer-puncher.

this will be a tough job for roach.....................if it ever takes place..............was impressed with PBF's footspeed against the "fat" JMM .........................

Pacquiao is much more effective fighting on the backfoot than he used to be.

coming forward is still his thing though, He does that brutally.

[shadeyfizzle]

yeah......but the latter rounds.......he made some "early pacquiao" errors....................hes proven his got an iron chin and good WW power ....i say let him fight backwards more

I think that was just because he was going for the finish and got too excited at times. He didnt make those mistakes against delahoya or hatton and he definitely wont be looking for the knockout against floyd or mosley unless he's clearly dominating.

i want floyd to come forward..............since he is the bigger man................

[oaba09]

He definitely improved his powerpunching but his main weapon is still aggression...
