Why does Pacquiao let people hit him

[bojangles1987]

Trying to lull them into his range?

Yeah, this seems to be it. He wants his opponents to get confidence and start throwing, so Pac's opportunities to throw back increase as well.

i refuse to believe any fighter lets another fighter hit him. that makes no sense because if that other fighter hits u in the right place, no matter how high your pain threshold, you are gonna get knocked out. gettin knocked out has nothin to do about how much pain you can take. ppl who believe that junk are dumb.

You dont understand it, I dont understand. Go check youtube on Pacs training with wooden sticks!!! If thats not a training to tolerate pain, I dont know what is.
Pac is on different level guys, Ive heard that Pac met with Jet Li, not sure if any chinese secrets been pass on? (no joke)

You are a moron clearly... so just because its your favorite fighter he is supposed to do it? I guess if a football player gets tackled, he did it on purpose right?

Stop with that bull****, letting him hit him... Manny has an agressive style, getting caught is part of the territory. Hitting his gloves together after getting tagged is just him signalling that hes okay, like when Floyd smiled after JMM hit him, it wasn't because he let him hit him... it was just that he was aware a good shot got through and was showing his opponent that its done nothing to him.

Your acting like Manny is some god with the best defense out there and that the only reason he gets hit is because he lets them, thats bull****... its merely a little flaw he has that could do with tightening, it comes with the territory of being an aggressive fighter, cause they tend to stand infront of there opponent more.

Manny doesn't have great defense, but he clearly has moments where he sits in range and doesn't employ full efforts to avoid his opponents' shots. He tries to lure them into brawls.

taking the punches may give him confidence.

i didnt say anything about training to tolerate pain. thats cool n all, but that fits martial arts more than it does boxing. in boxing you cannot train yourself to not get knocked out. u cant train your neck...u can increase your neck muscles but that only does so much. my point is, its ****** to allow yoursef to be hit in the head, no matter how tough you are. your brain gets rattled regardless, thats wat causes brain damage and thats what causes a person to get knocked out in most instances. its just a bad habit to let someone hit u, one that manny may suffer for if he keeps it up.

Cuz' he's a real man.

[Weebler I]

imo he's taking a breather, he's a high intensity fighter but he's a man not a machine and needs breaks from time to time

Its not hard to miss Pacquiao bro.
