Has paquiao really gotten that much better???

[Jim Tom]

IMO fromstudying his fights

it seems to me that he is about the same fighter thatfought marquez the second time and david diaz at 135

it just that he looks great and dominates these bigger guys causee he has a great chhin and can take there punches and has the power of a middle weight plus the bigger guys cant see his punches comming

because of his chin and his power he doesnt hav those huge disavantages that a smaller fighter has when moving up

IMO he is definatey more seasioned now but its more of him haveing the right style to beat bigger guys than him improving significantly

guys like marquez and morales arep4p better fighters than the welters pac beat and they are able to handle his hand and foot speed were the big guys cant captalize on openings when pac lunges in and out with his attacks

if marquez wasnt 38 i would give him as much a chance as people did for the first two fights

and i think it will be a good fight even if pacs youth ultimatly stops marquez cause jmm is a warrior and his has the style and abilty to captalize on pacs mistakkes an counter him(even if heeventually gets blown out)

your guys thoughts??

He dominates old has beens who are mostly weight drained

Naw. He's just fighting guys that better fit his style now.

this......

I thought about this as well. IMO not really that much since the second time they faught. Which is not to take anything away from him as he's always been great.

he been fighting flat footed Brawlers during his rise...so a lot of people was DECEIVED INTO THINKING HE IMPROVED and is now "MORE OF A BOXER"

but Manny is still the same Brawler, lucky for him during his rise, Arum haven't been matching him up with BOXERS...just OTHER BRAWLERS
