Re: Manny's Skills. Foot Movement is not a skill?

[SplitSecond]

not true at all. were not talking about manny whole skill set this is just about footwork. dont get mad and sad. manny is high skilled in other areas. i just dont think his footwork is all that. with all the amateurish mistakes he makes and punching off 1 foot like cmon lol.

i mean his biased fans who really dont know what it means to get in that ring and box and train not to be in shape but train to compete and fight. really dont know the difference between skill talent and ability they dont know whats good bad and just down right wrong.

punching off one foot is a sign of weakness? that's great balance if anything, what are you people smoking

EDIT: and stfu talkin like you can box any good, i'd knock you cold

Same as Pac but whatever.

same as alot of boxers. but noone was talking about manny in that statement. dude brought up mayweather being put on the ropes.

[PandaKilla]

Manny may have fast footwork, but to be able to move that fast, punch, use angles and move again at the right time and place is skill.

Like I said, every top boxer in the world is basically gifted in one or 2 ways, and some even more!

Yes that whole statement was about Pac, if you saw what I was replying to.

where in the highlight did i say it was a weakness. its a bad move thats not taught or trained which means its not a skill. its actually a strength because its a unpredictable mistake that noone can be prepared for. but its still an amateurish move. noone trains and practice punching off 1 foot unless your ryu or ken. im sorry but you cant argue this with me. thats not proper technique. he gets away with it because he has very strong legs and even on 1 foot he can still punch with power and balance. and also hes fighting guys who arent fast enough or good enough to make him pay for mistakes.

again i use the marquez fights because you never seen manny knocked around off balance and looked so foolish because marquez was countering him when manny was lunging and off balance

I hate when people make dumb arguments like that one dude.

Roy made numerous mistakes, so I guess he wasn't skilled either.

In reality I can't even call them mistakes because both Manny and Roy did a lot of that stuff intentionally due to that just being their style. Roy used it to bait opponents, and Manny does it because some of those punches and combos he couldn't get off if he did everything by the book.

manny doesnt move at the right time reason why he gets hit. he only moves out as a restart to move back and do his combo again. and keep his short arms busy and moving.

[boxer2k5]

Yes that whole statement was about Pac, if you saw what I was replying to.

well since you quoted me i assumed you was replying to my statement. if not then i appologize. and yes manny lays on ropes on purpose plenty of times

I'm taking bets.

boxer2k5 > matrix via KO.

Co-sign.

People look at a guy like Margarito as being skilled, but the truth is you don't get to an elite level without having skills.

Now his skills aren't the traditional textbook style of boxing, rather they are in his ability to cut the ring off, apply pressure, work the body and break fighters will.

People need to think outside the box and not limit skill to just doing things by the book.
