How do you beat Pacquiao?

[ThePunchingBag]

You need to be an ATG fighter.

You need good chin, aggressive counterpunching style, high stamina, good power, great defense and footwork, good speed of hand and foot, stiff jab.

You basically have to be Sugar Ray Leonard.

Even then Pac makes it a close fight and doesn't get dominated as long as Roach is in his corner.

Pac w/o a Roach game plan is like shooting a cannon. You send a wave of destruction in the right direction, but there is no precision.

What's the way to beat Pacquiao? Some say by using a stif jab. Others by using the right, what is the correct way or game plan to beat Pac?

counter punch, always be alert, throw angles back at him, and throw a lot back at him, like 5 punch combos as Marquez did. You need a lot of power to get his respect as well.

Not many people are saying clinching. No one has effectively clinched Pac in order to cut down that workrate. Expect Money Mayee to clinch up a storm.

You can't clinch Pacquaio.

Watch the Hugman Hatton fight.

Every time Hatton came inside to clinch, Pac's quick footwork would allow him to take a step back or move laterally and land a straight left or a right hook.

From what I've seen of Pacquiao's fights, he only clinches when he wants to.

If Mayweather wants to clinch Pacquiao, because of Pac's hand and foot speed he'll be leaving himself open to get countered.

What Mayweather does is tie people up by trapping one of their arms under his armpit.

I've only seen him do this against slow fighters though.

I think Floyd's technique can beat the Pac.

I used to think that but pac would move back to fire a short combo and throw flurries in the inside. But considering pbf's speed, he could probably do it.

You can't fight Pacquiao, he's too fast, too explosive and doesn't get tired.

You have to sit back, counter him in 2's and 3's, pop the jab so he can't get set, circle away from his left but watch out for the right hook, try and make him miss and overextend with that big left so he is off balance and open, similar to what JMM did but keep your ass off the canvas, and make sure you are tight defensively, and don't exchange with him like JMM did at times.

And don't get complacent, and always focus and keep working at him, because a guy with Manny's speed and power combo can change the fight in an instant, you can't **** around in there.

you have to fight him.

people think you box or counter pac to beat him.

not true.



you have to fight the guy. very few can do it though.



you just can't wait for him and try to box and counter.

you have to box and counter and also go on the offensive.

Every time someone has tried to fight Pac they have gotten messed up. Cotto was doing well sitting back pumping the jab, Manny took the jab away and Cotto got caught in some exchanges, he got hurt and then the fight was all Pacquiao. The only times Marquez was getting tagged against Manny was when he stood in too close and punched on, or when he didn't move off after countering.

Hatton was aggro from the start and just picked apart and destroyed.

Who has had the most success against Manny? Marquez and Morales (1st time) and what did they do? They boxed.
