This mothafooka is awkard as hell, and I've never seen anything like him. I think if he would get caught clean with some massive bombs by Shane if they fought, as he lunges in.
    PWill used his advantages against Wright and Margarito. His problem is his southpaw stance, he always gets in trouble with smaller soutpawas (Martinez, Quintana).

      how did he use it when he was lunging in with wide hooks at Martinez? I saw him use it a couple rounds. Predominantly the late rounds, but he was still lunging in during the fight. Why didn't he use his jab to set of those shots? Instead he swarms in, and eats punches from Sergio. I still think he could beat that Porter guy who post on here though.

        nothing wrong with a big man who tries to walk you down. It's what makes him the punisher, a guy that big that keeps coming and coming. he doesn't have a safety first mindset and isn't a pure boxer, more like a technical pressure/stamina fighter

              Shawn i've been thinking this for a while now. Do you think that sparring Manny gives you an edge (an other boxers who spar him) over any other guys? In other words is Pacquiao the worlds greatest supplement for training? For example I doubt you'd have trouble with speedy guys after sparring Pacquiao because he is as speedy as they come. I think the sparring has also helped Amir Khan.

              BTW
              you vs Khan in the future. who wins? give me a serious answer, or I will go internet warrior on you, and possibly do some warrior stuff that not even the pros can do, which i cannot tell you about right now.

                I think sparring manny has helped me big. after seeing him for 4 weeks there is really nothing out of the normal offensively that ill ever see. manny is different.

                khan is a little small for me isnt he. dont go all warrior on me now. lol

                      Maritnez was fighting backwards and Paul couldnt catch him. Paul needs to cut in the ring better.
