    bcoz he does not jab like most conventional boxers do...

    his jabs are not really meant to hurt his opponents..

    along with his in and out style his jabs are just to set up his combos..

    so his jabs don't look like anything erik dishes out...

    awkward..pac may be an awkward boxer-puncher, if there is one..

    that's why he's difficult to figure out in the ring
    I see what you mean. In regards to my last post i would add that there should be another category. puncher a guy who throws heavier attacks from long range and has a more refined boxing IQ that a slugger who is exclusive to throwing hard shots with either hand. A puncher tries to set his shots up.

    Pac jabs like Shane Mosley in his prime. It's a jab that breaks distance and is only used to set up his combinations. Boxing one would say, utilizes his jab effectively buy not only setting up his compinations but also by off setting his opponents rhythm as well as using it as defensive component. which manny does NOT do. So I would not consider him a boxer by definition. The majority of his fights he would throw a jab only to set up his combinations once the rhythm is set and he has a good bearing of distance, he punches his way in to swarm with his combinations at medium range. Making him box outright with his jab makes manny ineffective. In the latter part of his career he is also using his right hook more to break distance not a jab. So i stand by my assesment of manny being a puncher swarmer. there is nothing wrong with that style he's become very effective with it thus far.

    • Swarmers beat pure boxers also.

      In Pacquiao's last few fights he has either been a boxer-puncher or a pure boxer.

        Pacquiao is a boxer-puncher.

          So, again, by whom is he WIDELY considered a boxer-puncher?

                  I looked at the poll and it had 17...I repeat 17 people that voted Manny as a "boxer-puncher" and that means that he is "WIDELY regarded as a boxer-puncher"?

                  Cut it out, for real.

                      The caveat here is similar ability. I don't believe that to be the case their abilities are not similar. They are both super talented but in different ways.
