Pacquiao's CLOSE friend: "Manny will fight Sergio Martinez"

[brick wall]

ok, my point is his punching technique isnt better that martinez's. the way martinez was throwing that jab, it would be deadly for manny to be outta place the way he usually is. its messy, he doesnt pay for it, and its effective but that is not at all what this convo was about. in relation to martinez, i give the edge in punching to martinez.

if you noticed, a lot of pac's previous opponents say the same thing. pac's techniques and skill set is not that especial for them to worry a whole lot. but once they got in the ring with him, they can't handle him. they're just like you, they based it on what they saw when they watch videos of pac's fights. pac's techniques may not be the most pleasing in the eyes but like i said it's very effective.

I'd like to see Manny fight Martinez at 154. Pac doesn't have to come in at 154. Sergio can come in at 180 for all I care.

I'm not a ****** ***** who is terrified of seeing Floyd matched up with a threatening opponent.

Make the fight happen.

i think pac beats serg.... serg would land some good shots though... just my opinion

Sergio looks like a million bucks when he fights aggressive and or textbook fighters...guys like pavlik, williams, dzindiruk...it would be interesting to see how he fares against someone with handspeed and doesn't apply any 'textbook' technique in his style

You said it man.. agree with all the above. Sergio is a good/exciting fighter and is on a nice streak. He's one of the good guys in boxing.. representing the sport the right way. However the terrible three Pavlik (strong but hes a plodder/stationary)/ P Will (can throw punches/brawler/doesn't cover up)/ Dizzy (good boxer but lacked jmw power/ljmw).. predictable fighters. However, he gets credit for the way he destroyed these fighters. He gives the fans a show.

ur missing the point. im not saying it is ineffective, to the contrary, i think its quite effective. it works for him, it makes him who he is. but when we are talking about manny vs. martinez, that sloppiness will cost him. martinez' techniuqe is just better. i mean did u see that jab he was pumping out the other nite???

im not attacking manny, im comparing him to martinez. u guys need to chill.

ummm i never said it was ineffective. i give up...lol...i cant explain something to ppl when its going rite over their heads. in an effort to defend ur favorite fighter, u ignore the substance and go in attack mode. the point is martinez has the better punching technique imo. i gave speed and combination punching to manny but those things dont necessarily mean he has the better technique.

That is your opinion but, you are in the minority... and for good reason.

hey listen no one is attacking you...we're just having a discussion here and it just happen we have a different opinion so don't get butthurt. it's true you didn't mentioned the word ineffective but you used the word sloppy. do you even know what sloppy means? you better ask our resident teacher...vaw jr.

i dont think williams is textbook. hes effective wild, albeit in a different manner than manny. but i wouldnt describe him as textbook either.

[SplitSecond]

ummm isnt a jab a straight punch??? lol...he dominated one of the best jabbers in the world with a jab.

one best jabbers in the world since when?
all sergio's punches are exagerrated and he brings his elbows too high

Williams is not textbook.. he's a volume puncher who made a mistake and swung wild looping punches in a brawl vs. Martinez in the rematch. If P Will didn't stick his chin out so much and covered up more, he could have given himself a chance to take another decision.. He also lacks the footwork necessary to compete with a fighter like Sergio.
