has anyones damage resistance improved as much as pacquiao?

[Seleção No. 13]

This is how Pacquiao looked during his 2 KO losses.

[mathed]

The people that have 'seriously' stated here that Manny's punch resistance comes from substances need to check themselves in a mental hospital.

Manny's got KO'd when he was a young childish slugger. Look at his fights, the man has a proper chin.

I know......it's funny though to hear some of the reasoning.....good stuff, classic. 116 pounds and starved, versus 135, 140 and conditioned like an
Olympic athlete....big difference

pacquiao was knocked down by singsurat
torrecampo
russian guy
nedal hussein

fast forward 10 years later and cotto is hitting him with uppercuts where he dont even flinch....this makes no sense....

A big difference is first off, that he fights in weights were he isn't drained anymore and secondly, punches that you see don't hurt you that much - he saw cotto's punches and he was never hit with more then one at a time - a guy like Marquez hurt and wobbled him because he punched with him and Pac got caught with shots that he didn't anticipate IMO... his chin is solid

Idea!!!...

Why don't you cats stopped making topics like this already? It has been long enough, and it is pretty clear who the folks are on this site that think Manny is on something...You do not have to keep making topics about. In reality, you all say the exact samething, but with your own little twist to it.

We get it! You think something is up. Good for you!

[Pac-KO]

when he got stopped they were by body shots. he would of been very young and green at the time and has grown alot physically. i think at super feather-weight manny may have been abit weight drained as he would put on alot of weight on fight night.

Floyd used to get schooled by the likes of Martin Castillo in the amateurs. Anybody can improve.

What does skill have to do with Punch resistance?You are comparing to different things.

[Imhotep]

manny was in his teens when those losses happened. not only that but also living in poverty not getting the proper nutrition, proper training. on top of that he was living in a third world country. so imagine those conditions starting a professional boxing career at 16 years of age. that is pre pubescent.

do you know what that means? can you imagine being a professional fighter before you hit puberty? its quite understandable as you get older & go through puberty that you get stronger. would you say you are stronger more developed man in your late to early 30s than you were when you were a teen ager? especially a professional boxer who is now getting proper nutrition & training advice?



rocked badly is overstating it. he was stunned. rocked badly is hanging on for dear life about to get knocked out. manny was never in that predicament vs marquez. that stunned counter left hook that marquez hit him with stunned manny. but he was still standing. there's video of this you know. he even smiled about it. he was far from being "rocked badly."

as for the cotto uppercuts, those shots didnt have full leverage, & manny admitted in interviews after the fight that those shots did hurt but he wanted to give cotto the illusion that they didnt so to show the illusion that he was not being hurt & win the psychological war in the ring vs cotto. once cotto thought that he couldnt hurt manny he lost the only remaining advantage & confidence he had left.

one only needs to see how manny looked after the cotto fight. he was busted up. to say he came out unscathed is just being dishonest & just trying to spin a false agenda home.

Ok how about when he fought Marquez and Marquez rocked him numerous times in both fights?He made alot of money before he fought Marquez fighting on HBO and then later fighting Barrera.You also have to consider that American currency is worth way more then Filipino currency.so if you make 100,000 your like a millionaire in Philippines with that money.


I also noticed he looked alot slower in the Marquez fight then he did in the Cotto,Hatton, and Delahoya fight.


I noticed in those fights that Manny looked alot faster in those fights then i ever seen him.How do you keep moving up in weight be in alot of wars enter your thirties and become faster?

Looks su****ious to me.

Floyd and Cotto and may other fighters were fighting at a weight class they were killing themself to make and had to move up.They did`nt get faster moving up many weight classes.
