How much did Pacquiao really improve between Morales I and II?

Is it officially not happening now? Goddamit. I'm not going to be able to make it up to detroit because I have a friend coming in and staying with me on the 27th and so I have to go get him from Ohare. So I really wanted to go to Cunningham Godfrey. I'll be at the card regardless thoughComment

He has become more patient with his work and his footwork has improve since the Morales fights, But he didnt do anything different in the Morales fight Morales was war-torn and he had to go back to 130 for the second fight after Raheem at 135 even though he couldnt make the weight anymore so for me he didnt face a prime Morales.Comment

Not a big difference in technque or skill. In fact he attacked the body a lot in the first fight, even though a lot of people say that's what wore Erik down in the rematch.
I think it was Morales' decline combined with the Reyes gloves and Manny making very slight adjustments. Morales was at least even on the cards before the stoppage though imo.
You can really see the improvements in the second Marquez fight comared to the first one. Watch the first Barrera fight. He's all 1-2 all the time, and inside he just threw weak looking flurries to the body. You can tell theres'a difference.Comment

That's just your opinion bro. It's easy to say Floyd will outbox and beat Pacquiao because of how Floyd's done it with other fighters. But in the same sense in asking what slick boxer Pacquiao's fought, you can also ask what fighter Floyd's fought who throws at the angles Pacquiao does, movement, speed, stamina, and chin. You won't find a lot if not any, which is why people are dying to see the fight.Comment
