And Pacquiao have practiced some form or variation of the FMA.

If anybody who hasn't heard, try GOOGLING the said names of the arts above and Guro Dan Inosanto. The only remaining heir to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. (there's 3 of them who earned the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and Jun Fan Jeet kune Do)

Guro Dan is Bruce Lee's most famous student. This linke is called PANANTUKAN (A Visayan term for SUNTUKAN, suntok meant punch in Tagalog)

Not undermining the great training and teaching of Freddie Roach but if you look at the influence of the FMA, it is the multi-hits, all angle hitting, leverage and footworks that Pacquiao has already employed.

Tommy the Machine Gunn was trained by an even better actor than Bruce Lee...Sylvester Stallone, and thats why many rank Tommy The Machine Gunn ahead of Pacquiao on ATG lists.

Bruce Lee was a Wing Chun Kung Fun stylist, influenced by Choy Li Fut, Tai Chi, Western Fencing, Jujitsu and others to teach his own JEET KUNE DO.

Bruce Lee as an actor is what he was known for initially but he was a street fighter in Hong Kong as well. Same thing can be said with actor Steven Seagal who is a real Aikidoka and a high level teacher BEFORE he became a known actor.
