Why does Pacquiao let people hit him

[them_apples]

you watch him in sparring, he only get's hit when he stands there and lets people hit him.

Against Cotto he couldn't have been hit that much if he didn't stand there and eat uppercuts. Same with Clottey.

In the Oscar fight he actually didn't want to get hit at all, moving up from LW (sfw just a bit before) and he was hardly eating any shots at all as he would leap out of range before anyone could do anything.

I don't like how he stands there and eats uppercuts..it's like he get's a kick out of proving a point.

In that video of him sparring he's just standing there with a middleweight and letting him hit him.

what? anyone can hit him as long as they stick their arms out. he not hard to miss.

[latinbrawler316]

because he is one tough sob

[Seleção No. 13]

Yeah, I've noticed his defense was better at the De La Hoya fight, but I think that was part of the gameplan as Roach was probably concerned about the huge leap in weight.

Pac already stated that he wanted to prove himself at the Cotto fight by eating his shots. I don't know what happened at the Clottey fight. He wasn't even trying to defend.

Trying to lull them into his range?

he isnt the hardest person to hit man....but he doest that **** to try to cause exchanges

[Uturn]

Remember when he fought Cotto? Pacman was calling on Cotto to give his best shots, he let him unleash but just covered up then punished him for it to say 'is that all you got'?

i really dont think manny feels anything in the ring at this point..im dead serious..thats why floyd wants ost's....if manny takes the test you'll see a big differance

In the Cotto bout, there was a method to such madness.
I agree that it seems to be growing into a bad habit.

Roger Mayweather told him that he could walk through bullets while he's on the a-side meth, so he doesn't care about being hit a couple of times.
