      ^I think that just applies to Peek a Boo Counter Punchers rather than other styles for counter punchers.

        Basically. The best way to beat them is to be a faster, unorthodox counter puncher.

          Yes, you mess with a counter-puncher's ability to counter, you can catch them off guard. Why do you think that even though his aggressive style is tailor made for counter punchers, Pac took JMM to his limits each fight. Pac's awkwardness gave him far more openings than expected even giving the opportunity to counter-punch JMM.

            Being bigger than them and pressuring them. If you're smaller, pressuring a counterpuncher will be little to no help, it will actually help the counter puncher because you will give him openings. Even a bigger guy who's pressuring, will be leaving himself open to counters.

            You have to be bigger and stronger and have decent defense.

            The last counter puncher Pacquiao fought was Marquez. And Marquez defense is not A+. So I don't know how Pacquiao is a counterpuncher's worst nightmare, when the last counterpuncher Pacquiao fought, arguably beat him.

            If Pacquiao fights Mayweather with pressure, you will see off the first bell,it's a bad idea. Mayweather is the bigger man, he's fast, his defense is A+++ and he's the best active counterpuncher, even better than Marquez.

                If they are out reached and their opponent has a solid jab then they are in for a bad day at the office. Froch Abraham.

                    Good feints and jabs should help. Having speed behind it also considerably helps.
