Marquez didn't pull back enough, and since Manny get's a lot of momentum, he comes forward a good deal..that's why you saw Marquez sidestep more in the other fights and basically made his normal lefts obsolete.
The second one was a beautiful hit that Ricky walked into, not so much that it was sneaky or non-telegraphed. Ricky went in, head up, chin up, Pac just throw the left and it landed like it should have.
The third is a good example of what I said earlier where it's not so much the angle, but it's weird that he's able to throw it from there with power. You'll notice he was moving right as he threw it and you can see the windup, but Cotto was in no position to avoid that one. That was great accuracy and timing by Pac, capitalizing on an obvious Cotto mistake.
Pac is a lot more accurate than given credit for, and because he can throw from pretty much any position with power (even if he's crossed his feet, has one foot in the air, etc) he makes things happen most people wouldn't be able to..especially against some of the guy's he's fought who aren't great athletes and put themselves out of position thanks to their style. That's a big compliment to Pac. Traditionally though, his regular lefts are usually pretty damn telegraphed. His lead left can be quick, and even if it's slightly telegraphed at times, his whole body moves so quick with it that even if he misses, he'll roll under and get away with it.
But look at a lead right that seemed to come from nothing here from Ali at :25 seconds. That to me isn't telegraphed.
