      Pacquiao can box, he has his fundamentals down, he just chooses to fight like a madman instead.

        yeah, probably. im not saying pac would literaly be like old-roy if he continues, but he would not be as dominant without his speed. i just cant say at what level he would be without his speed.

            That's a YES, not a no.

              If he does stick around this is what will happen to hi by quicker, taller counter punchers. Unlike mayweather and hopkins whom work on there defense and technical attributes such as the jab and tieing up when hurt. Measuring distance and throwing an effective counter check hook.

                When Pacquiao starts to slow up in the future will he will suffer the same fate as Roy Jones, Jr. did and face a number of knockouts or losses because of his lack of technique?
                no, and Manny isn't only speed..

                speed helps but Jones was literally all based on speed.

                If Manny loses his legs though he might become a brawler. His difficult style is almost all based on movement.

                  Nah, its more like Mo**ey Mayweather y'all would have to worry about. Y'all will see a Tarver - RJJ scenario on 3/13.

                    he still has some speed homie. he just lost his reflexes and athleticism
