    Manny Pacquiao is a freak of nature and not much else

    Manny Pacquiao is one of those physically gifted fighters that come every once in a while like Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. before him. He relies on his insane athleticism and his awesome combination of hand/foot speed and power. Throw in a granite chin and a lionheart and you have ATG fighter Manny Pacquiao. But that's about it. He's a southpaw so of course his punches are going to come in weird angles but he has no Southpaw Swagger. His boxing skills are average-above average and his defense is very basic. Once those physical gifts of his start to diminish, he's going to get owned. Guaranteed.

    It's frustrating when I read that he's more skilled than Zab, Floyd, even Devon Alexander, which he's not. Like the title says, Manny Pacquiao is a freak of nature and not much else.

                That goes without saying but that's not my point. Point is, Pac is not this highly skilled boxer that some make him out to be. I'm sure *******s aren't going to like hearing that but it is what it is.

                Stamina is part of his athleticism.
