    PED's do amazing things for the human body.
    PED makes you more "skilled" in the ring? Really?

        I wasn't even trying to look for any of this. I was just trying to see Pacquiao's jab and then I notice all these small things that I never noticed before.
        I think so but like in my previous post we have to take into account his opponent and the state they were in. Cottos lack of a trainer or gameplan, his beating by Marg, the weight, etc..Now I see what you mean though he took care of business in that fight.

        I'll have to rewatch so I can catch what you saw but Floyd is a guy who adjusts on the fly if thats what you mean. We will really see how good Pacquio is when hes looking across the ring and Floyd is in front of him.

            He's so good that he has to weight drain all of his opponents

            He's also so good that he refuses to fight Mayweather or Mosley.

                If you honestly believe that overall skill neither Pac or Duran are not in Floyd class then you're seriously overrating Floyd skill level...
                Im interested to see what other people think about this. Duran was no Floyd Mayweather in boxing skills by any stretch of the imagination my dude. He had boxing skills but he was not Floyd Mayweather man.

                Who is the most skilled fighter out of these 3:

                Hasegawa
                Pacquiao
                Calderon

                      Well to answer your question...if he's been named Fighter of the Decade, I would have to imagine he's pretty damn good. Just a thought.
