    He can't even think for himself he relies on his advisers and Arum. I think Pacquiao means and wants to fight top opponents but Arum lies to him by telling he is fighting p4p fighters because Pacquiao can't read the p4p list.
    Pacquiao did not even know he is fighting Shane Mosley on Showtime. He said he was in the dark when negotiation were made. He is gifted physically not mentally.
    By the way, no *****.
    How ignorant this poster. You only see what you want to see.
    I suggest watch his last 10 fights again and please this time around, you remove the bucket covering your entire head.

        im not going to go looking thru every roy jones fight to look for examples of him cross countering. he does it. hes known for doing it. if u hung around a boxing gym u would kno this. go watch his fights look for urself. just make sure u kno wat ur looking for.

          Pacquiao didnt have donaire's sublime slickness, defense, counter punching, reflexes, & technical soundness. Pacquiao is a physical specimen but donaire is the total package.

          Gamboa is probably the only fighter that can match donaire's athleticism but donaire is the much better overall fighter. He is top 10 p4p while gamboa has yet to sniff it. As for dawson he's skilled but when was the last time dawson did something spectacular?

            Gamboa is significantly more athletic. So Donaire is more athletic because he's P4P?

              i think they are about even. the fact that gamboa has gone down against lesser opposition while donaire has eviscerated the two top 10 p4p fighters he has faced & his skillset & athleticism in full display wouldnt you give the edge to donaire?

                What do you mean "gone down," knocked down? SRR got knocked down a lot too. What does that have to do with being athletic, that just means his defense has holes. You specifically stated skills, resume, etc. are to be excluded (as they should be). If you want to get into skills, Donaire is certainly more rounded and defensively sound, but Gamboa has one of the absolute top offenses in the sport. And part of that is based on the fact that his speed is blistering, faster than Donaire who is counter-based.
