Pacquiao's most impressive asset...

[Toney Loc]

... to me is still his ability to absorb true WW punching power. Yes his speed, power and workrate are incredible but this is a guy that got stunned a couple times vs JMM just two years ago. :cotdamn:

[baracuda]

to me, its his awkwardness is what makes him dangerous, he has no regular rythym,he's just unpredictable!..........

[Akyra]

i agree with this and it's something that became more obvious after last nights fight. clottey landed some really powerful punches that threw his head back a couple of times.. but he kept coming back!!!

like i said.. pacquiao is a special fighter, you don't find fighters will all the skills pacquiao has. some might have speed, others might have power, others might have speed and good stamina, others not a lot of power but good defense.. etc etc, you get the point. pac has it all and that's why he's highly regarded. he's a phenomenon.

His speed and relentlessness for me.

Nah Wangler..

Cotto didn't put WW power on him for 12 rounds. He stopped after the 5th imo.

Clottey didn't throw enough more to make Pac feel it at 12, though you can see his face was a little bruised still.

I think Mosley would make Pacquiao think twice about trading and show him true WW power, but I think Pac would still beat him.

Doesn't matter. Cotto and Clottey both chin-checked him, Pacquiao ate that ****, smiled and waved them over for more.

It doesn't show because he isn't getting hit very much...Cotto landed some good shots and you could see it on Pac's face and ear...if he fought Mosley he wouldn't be as willing IMO...

He hasn't fought any opponent since JMM who knows how to reduce his workrate....

Technical fighters can take advantage of Pac's mistakes...

Yeah, that's true.

I do give him that, just curious to see how he would do if someone put it on him for a full 12.

his ability to not duck fighters is impressive to me

It's not really hard to imagine---he doesn't cut weight at all. His chin would be strong as ever, and I don't get reall take the JMM fight into account. Pacquiao was cutting weight and rehydrating 16lbs---then tends to effect the way you absorb shots....remember Cotto pausing with Malignaggi's shots when he was draining himself to 140?
