Pacquiao is almost a different fighter right now, his natural ability and game has evolved better than ever before. I to think Marquez would get dominated if he was to fight this version, as pacquiao has excelled as a boxer with more stability. Pacquiao has completely destroyed recent opposistion, with none even getting close to beating him. He is so awkward to fight right now, and even makes his opponents make mistakes because of it, even making his opponents pay for those mistakes because he is quick to react to it.

what happens when you get swarmed by pacquiao? you either a) exchange with him like marquez did or b) stay in orthodox, waste your energy away dodging/blocking them all like this guy

Damn. Notice at the beginning that whenever Pacman shoots the straight left, the prominent move he did was ducking and moving away to avoid counters. Rolling under to avoid incoming punches. But Cotto noticed this and at 0:36 he tried to counter, timing Pacman's straight left which is open for a shot from Cotto's right hook. Technically, this is the right strategy which Cotto followed up with a left hook to the body which looked open. But seeing that whole sequence from 0:36, it just made Cotto look so bad. Cotto's counters just looked damn foolish. Damn. How the hell do you beat that? The speed difference was really the key in this fight. Plus the fact that Pacman was also making technically sound decisions in the ring was really impressive. Wow.Comment

one other thing special about pac is his ability to throw short punches but with power. that's the reason why he can throw punches in bunches and with much speed because he doesn't need to swing much. short punches are harder to predict and therefore harder to defend with. one other notable fighter who who likes to throw short punches is joe calzaghe. i remember after his fight with roy jones, jones was asked of his comment and he said something like "i thought those pitty pats doesn't hurt but it does" lol.Comment
