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

[D4thincarnation]

Obviously footwork is a skill and Pacquiao is probably the best in the world at this at the moment.

His in and out, the lateral movement, the speed he moves around the world, how he uses it to create angles.

Did they really say that?

[Tomislav III]

footwork is a great skill and takes plenty of time and years to master. but how does manny who often punches off balance lunges in often punches on 1 foot means he has good footwork? .

You're kidding right?

The fact that he gets away with that is a testament to his footwork.


The Pacquiao haters just don't want to give him credit for anything. Pacquiao beats JMM and you cling to the myth that he lost. Pacquiao beats down Erik Morales and MAB, and you say that they were shot. Pacquiao beats bigger guys all the time, and he's on roids.

If Pacquiao went back in time and beat Sugar Ray Robinson, you'd make an excuse and say that SRR was overrated.


Get over yourselves, give Pacquiao his credit, and enjoy the publicity he brings to this once dead sport.

Gotcha man.. Good over here. Any recent developments in Fight Night Champions? A little more than a month away from it dropping.

Yea, the demo is dropping on Feb the 1st. Four fighters in 3 round fights. Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Manny Pacquiao, and Miguel Cotto will be available to choose from.

Being fast on your feet doesn't = Great footwork. If his footwork was so great he wouldn't have ended up on the ropes against a slow ass Margarito so often.

His footwork against Margarito was something to behold. It was the one of the ingredients to the whitewash he gave Margarito. Hit and move. Maragaritos only plan was to get him on the ropes and beat him down. Just because he ended up there like twice says nothing. And when that happened Manny usually got the best of it. If Cotto had Manny's footwork his fight with Margarito would have went different.

Don't try and come in here where people really know about boxing and try to tell us something so silly. Ask Jim Lampley and Emanuel Stewart what they think about Mannys Footwork...

[Mr. Ryan]

Tell that to the people who just can't move their feet. Pacquiao's foot movement has been an asset that has helped him reach the next level as a fighter.

The funny part is, I always thought Mayweather's best physical attribute was his foot speed. He's able to change ranges faster than his opponents could process it.

Here we go again! *****s hatred towards Pac totally consuming their pea size brains. They talked about skills but what is the point of having the best skills in the world when someone can beat your ass? Sasakul, Lebwaba, Barrera, JMM, Morales, Oscar and Cotto are far more skillful than Pac but still beat their ass. For example...*****s coward queen. Floyd has the best skill set in boxing that can beat anybody like Pac but what is the point when he rather fakes his retirement or fakes his vacation than Pac beating his ass?
