    If there's a knock on PW, its that he doesn't think enough.

    The man has amazing gifts. A strong punch, alot of height, alot of heart, alot of stamina, a seemingly amazing chin.

    But he doens't really fight a smart fight does he? He needs to think about what he's doing a little bit more during the fight instead of just going in there and letting his hands go.

      The punisher fights like he's 5 foot 6, or something. I think he could improve his game if he used his height more. Fight on the outside a little more. But one thing you gotta give him is he's allot of fun to watch.

        I agree, he is not a strategist, he is a come forward pressure fighter. For a time I thought he was improving his defense , especially in the Verno and Winky fights, but that seems to have gone out the window in the Martinez fight. He doesn't use any defense, footwork is below average, sometimes his balance is still off, and he doesn't use his height. He is still my favorite fighter in the game today though, I just wish he would get with a trainer who would give him a style that would make him last longer.

            Good thread. I agree 100%...

            HEY GUYS. This is a good thread. I am a P.W. fan and thinks he can become one of the greatest of this era if he starts thinking a bit more in the ring. Who would beat him if he learned to use his height and killer reach against his opponents??? He has all other elements of a potential great. His stamina is what gets me the most. He's like a machine!! MANNY is the only fighter who has that type of machine like workrate. He needs to FIRE his corner A.S.A.P. before he takes the next big fight.

              I dunno if you noticed or not, pwill isn't the smartest dude. he's better off just throwing volume punches for now, but he needs to work on throwing them from the outside so his opponents can't counter him.

                P-Will has to drop Peterson and get someone like Ronnie Shields or Nazeem, those two would be perfect. If he went with Ronnie he would atleast clean up his defense on the inside.
