Proof of Pacquiao's new boxing ability

[PACbeatFLOYD]

Yup. Pacquiao has no skills. No defense as clearly shown in that video.

no skills??? speed kills thou

I agree Pac improved a lot technically since 4 or 5 fights. I think he's more patient, more intelligent than he was before

[RisAri0]

he's always had boxing ability period.. u just gotta point him to the right direction and thats where roach comes in.. if anything roach provided new strategies for him, das all

[DeepSleep]

PacMan has come a long with with Roach. I think what's most improved since his fights with with JMM is his footwork. PacMan used to always get his feet bo-jangled when he threw his straight right and would lose his balance, and he would give up the outside to fighters(Orthodox fighters) which would cause him to have a lot more problems defensively than he needed to. He now seems to be much better at matching his footwork with his attack plan to avoid having to use his natural reflexes to avoid punches.

Still I'm abit skeptical about how well he can deal with a fighter with a great straight right hand. Against Clottey he blocked most of them with his head which is not a great idea against most fighters and he hasn't fought a true right handed fighter with a solid straight right since JMM(Clottey has a good one but Pac found a better solution which was to simply throw an infinite amount of punches at the hesitant Clottey). Let's hope PacMan continues to fight great opponents because with each fight he seems to correct or invalidate any old mistakes or perceived weaknesses he had.

So because he countered a jab that mean he has new found skill?

He countered JMM in his first fight a few times. Thats nothing new with Pac. Thats basic ass boxing. He shouldve known how to do that at 16.

I wont be able to see if hes improved until he fights a boxer who wont walk right at him.

And Cottos best punch is his left hook not his jab.

Yeah, I agree with this.

Pacquiao has improved though but he made up for lacking in certain areas by doing different things. The video really doesn't show anything new.
