His skill has improved. His cherrypicking skills is second to none. The way he starves them is a thing of beauty. The Sweet Science!

With the exception of Margarito Pac has been fighting legit opponents. Even then Margarito is better then Bradley, Alexander, Berto, and most other fighters who people presume Manny ducked, or avoided. These types of threads are stupid. Especially when they are made by nuthugging Floyd posters. Truthfully, Pacquiao has faced better competition then Floyd, and taken the harder challenges.

This Black dude is a FRAUD, he's so into Marquez that he totally ignored Manny's skill improvements, for one Manny doesn't have a right hand in that Marquez fight and he do his combinations with straight lefts and rights, just like Leonard doing his own combinations with lightning left and right HOOKS, but Manny's combinations now are totally different, often doing it in mixed punches. And Manny rarely do LUNGES now coz he learned how to lead punch with either hands sidestep then do his combinations. Yes Marquez had some success in fighting Manny, but not just because of Marquez's superb skills as a counter-puncher, but because Marquez had the balls to trade punches in some instances, it is not enough to back pedal and pot shot Manny, coz even if you get him with one good punch you cannot stop him to come in and barrage you with punches...

Did this dude just call Cotto and Margarito "B and C" class fighters?

smh..............

Cotto is definitely a B-class fighter. It is hard to grade Margarito because he lacks so many skills. I do not think you could consider him a C-class fighter when he fought Manny.

I have seen this video before and only biased individuals see great improvement in Manny Pacquiao skills. It is just unprovable until he fights another technician that is not over the hill.

Berto says "BOOOOO!", pacman runs to showtime, floyd runs to jail.
