Name some technical flaws or bad habits of Manny Pacquiao

[Athrun340]

One thing I noticed about Pacquiao is when he is pressured, he puts his hands in front of his face and goes into "time to take some punches" mode, not really looking to counter or do anything really, just ride the storm. A accurate puncher like Mayweather would be able to punch around his guard and exploit that.

That being said, Mayweather most likely won't pressure Manny much.

He did that on purpose if you're talking about the Cotto fight

Every fighter has flaws, technical flaws. I can look at any fighter in the world past or present and see flaws in them.

I think what you guys don't understand is how Pac's advantages disguise his flaws. For example, what you guys call "off balance" or "leaning", are not really flaws for him.

He throws from awkward angles, so it makes it look as if he's off balance when in reality he is sure footed and throwing with power from those angles.

His speed also disguises him dropping his hands from time to time. It's hard to counter someone even when their hands are down because they can move so fast.

It's just like Roy Jones Jr. I always said if you want to learn how ot box DO NOT watch Roy Jones fight...

He does things so fundamentally wrong, yet dominated for over a decade because his speed and quickness allowed him to be a bit bad in the fundamental department.

Pac is the same way, some guys are such freaks of nature, that even seeing their deficiencies, you can't take advantage of it unless you can match their natural gifts.

No, I've seen him do it in all his fights. He almost gets on his tippy toes and covers up.

One thing Hatton, DLH, and Cotto all had in common is they don't throw a good straight right.

Mayweather's is excellent. I can see Mayweather's right going right through Pacquiao's gloves in that gif.

i find it ridicilous that some chubs sitting behing their computer screen are telling what the number 1 p4p in the world are doing for mistakes or doing wrong.

The difference is that Manny is not moving his head or rolling any of the punches.

Better to analyse the fighters we enjoy watching than filling the forum with ****** topics demeaning every little move a fighter makes and coming up with "witty" names like Kneegel and Gayweather.
