Pacquiao and Sergio: Who is more skilled?

[led]

don't know if Sergio is more skilled....but his STYLE is a problem for Manny in a head to head regardless of size IMO....between the 2...if I had to chose ANYTHING that I felt was AMAZING....it would be Manny's offense....his lefts and rights are so mean and nice that Jesus would say Jesus Christ!!!

if Sergio is really skilled and fast and so good like Pac haters are saying, he shouldnt have any problem moving up right? Pac haters always say Pac beat his opponents with his speed and power. Sergio has speed and power so it shouldnt be a problem moving up and make a case for a P4P number 1 right?

[MaD RoBoT]

Sergio may have a slightly edge over Pac in terms of skill but he would never win against Pac if they fought

both have defensive flaws but Pac has never been dominated despite having that

Sergio was lucky PWill never can really hit that hard, Paul usually do arm punches

plus Sergio gasses way too soon

Even though Martinez is rightfully a top pound for pound fighter I think Pacquiao is on a whole different level along with Mayweather. Martinez is very good but I don't see the greatness that some people attribute to him.

[ILLuminato]

Sergio understands distance and head movement a bit more than Pac, but offensively it is Pac.

They are both very similar but it goes to Pac

Pacquiao has been more impressive against the better opposition.

Lol,what kind of silly question is this? Martinez is by far the better skilled of the two.

what kind of answer is this???????? did sergio beat a first-faced fighter like margarito?????????? did u see how many times did sergio ate williams punch in their first match?????????????? wheres d skill there?????????????

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.

I hate when cowboys think they are boxing tecnician experts and try bluff there way with talk.
Pac is better, he has fought the better fighters and he is ATG. Dont try look at anything else. I want what Pac has. You might as well say there are a million people more skilled than Pac, so what? They arent doing and havent done what Pac has done so stop gloating about how Sergio is more supposedly skilled than Pac is. Nothing to boast about.

You are suggesting he is more skill, but how come he cant utilize it then to beat people better than Pac does then? How come only in his last 3 fights has anyone taken any notice of his skills.
