New England;10251313]pacquiao doesnt fight guys his size
but if he did he'd be the better puncher
he has a dynamite chin
he's got a better foundation in terms of experience
sergio has trouble fighting 12 rounds. i think some of it has to do with his experience at the top of the game (championship fights)
and he has a very taught and high strung style for a professional boxer.
pacquiao has been on top for a decade now
a great fighter will pick a spot when sergio wants to rest, and pounce
pacquiao is on that level.
if they were the same size i'd pick pacquiao to rip maravilla to shreds
they are not
and that's what makes the fight compellingComment

Pac's got the most experience fighting top class fighters. Sergio is good and it's too bad he spent the majority of his life riding around on a gay ass bike.Comment

Sergio, and it isn't even close.
Actually read the damn question. Who is the more "skilled"
Not who fought the better opposition. Good god. By some of the logic on this forum, I guess "margarito" is one of the most "skilled" fighters ever.
Stylistically sergio outskill spacman and it isn't even close. Other GREATS who weren't that SKILLED include George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Henry Armstrong, etc.
Sergio shows his ability to counter, movement, ability to slip punches, fight in the inside, outside, and whilst moving.
Pacmans defense is NOT better than sergios (or more skillful). pacman unrelenting offense is his defense the majority of the time.. or just putting his gloves up.
His foot work is decent, moving in and out, but it isn't " ring generalship" like sergio uses his foot work.
Punch selection seems about even, although Sergio is more a precision punches off the start where as pacman is a combination puncher. The "skill" in their punching is subjective. I think sergios counter mind set shows sharp reflexes and timing which is more of a skill than pacquires combinations punching. Pacman is the result of hard work, big balls, and great conditioning.
The list goes on.. actually look at how they fight. Sergio is a more skillfull fighter than pacman. As is donaire.
When pacman drops his hands and slips punches, then talk to me.Last edited by intoccabile; 03-18-2011, 08:15 AM.Comment
