      I mean I dont think Pac is a scrub..no way no how.

      But I think if you line up two fighters and say whose more skilled.

      Like say:

      Pacquiao and Martinez.

      I mean its obvious who is more skilled. Im not even that big on Martinez but I can recognizes hes skilled as ****.

      I look at Pac as a fast, powerful, explosive brawler. He throws nonstop lightning fast punches at different angles.

      I dont see alot of "skill". I mean look at Williams would you say hes really skilled? Im his biggest fan and I know better.

        Hell taking out lefties Pac isnt even more skilled than JMM.

        I get he has a different style that still doesnt get him "most skilled " brownie points.

        do you choose to be ****** or are you pretending?

        who has better defense? calderon or pac?

        calderon.


        who has better offense? calderon or pac?

        pac.



        who throws a better left hand?

        pac.


        who is quicker on their feet?


        calderon.


        who is the better fighter?

        pac.


        who has the better resume?


        pac.


        there is more than one facet of skill. being offensive is part of being skilled just like being defensive. to marginalize pac's skills & think dawson, bute, or martinez is better because they are more defensive is DOWNRIGHT IGNORANT.


        what do you prefer? defense or offense?


        dont trivialize a great offensively skilled fighter because you are on the other side of the war burner. have you seen calderon fight? he literally runs away from his opponents.

        sergio martinez would get beat by floyd & pac. i made a thread about this.


        this is a ****** question.

              So you say all that to say that Pacquiao is more skilled than Calderon. I dont think you find 10 credible people who will agree with that.

              Bro hes one of the most skilled fighters I have ever seen. Calderon is no joke.

                What 7 weight classes?

                Oscar is at 6.

                Floyd is at 5.

                Doing that doesnt make you the GREATEST. Its alot more to it like um the actual fighters you beat.

                  This Topic should be reopened if Dirrel beats Ward.....Imo Dirrel is still basically undefeated....

                    I surprisingly understand what you mean.


                    I still wouldn't say Pacquiao is the best overall skilled southpaw.
