    He was an inside fighter early in his career. But that is because he hardly had any footwork when he was young so his strategy then was just to get inside and fight them in the pocket. The same as how Arce fights now except less refine.

      I provided evidence. Pac is a good mid rang fighter
      you happy.
      But, then again you didn't mention the top level fighters he did finsih.

      Was Bob Foster a good finisher? even though he didn't really finish anybody of note at HW?

        True, but pac had jMM seriously hurt more than anyone esle. With the type of style he has he should be able to finish these guys. With all the punches from different angles he throws . cmon now.

          werd.

          but seriously, pac does many things really well. finishing is just not one of them. **** hes better at it than floyd. i dont like pac's style per se, not technical enuff for me but hes definitely the best fighter out now when it comes to a mix of speed, power, and combination punching. in fact there arent many fighters in history who i can say were better.

            I didn't say pac was a bad fighter. never said that ****, and i did mention hatton. With his style he should be able to get them guys out of there, plus he hurts them early in pretty much every damn fight.

              Mak, I'm going to take all these PED's and get Roach, Ariza, and Arum the phone. Have them set up all my matches. And, not only will I become an ATG but I will have millions of dollars. I mean it's just so easy anybody could do it. I wonder so many haven't had the career Pac has.

                Yeah but JMM is the best counter finisher.

                Pac finished Morales, Solis, Velasquez. Those who didn't ran away backwards....except for tough Margarito who paid the price.

                  Where were you when people criticize other fighters. Does it hurt you that i have an opinion. Do you sleep at night when people criticize pac. Theirs just as many threads criticizing other fighters. ****, i actually gave reason why i feel he isn't a finisher.

                    He finished Sasakul who was the lineal champ at 112 and solid boxer/counter puncher.

                    He finished Ledwaba who was considered the best fighter at 122.

                    he finished a prime Barrera(nor Morales nor Hamed who probably is the hardest hitting fighter in the history of the division could do) who was the lineal champ at 126, best fighter at 126, and P4P elite level fighter, and a very versatile fighter.

                    He finished Hatton, at 140 who was the lineal champ.

                    And, finished Cotto who was doing the moonwalk for the 2nd half of the fight.

                    But, at the end the higher you go up the less fighters you're going to finish. I thought that was common knowledge. Bigger people would take your punch better. And, even though you have them hurt the size difference could help them survive longer.

                    But, obviously that's the case for everybody besides Pacquiao.
