    There does seem to be a pattern there, that's all I'm saying.

      Maybe but it's a bigger problem for Khan then for the other Roach fighters cause Khan can't take a punch. I don't know how Freddie trains his fighters defensively. I would be nice if someone could find a clip... Freddie says he learned from Eddie Futch, he was also mainly offensive but he also trained Kenny Norton who had an ok defense.

        You dont need defense with who Pac has fought...or with Jrs size and possibly "peds". Linares and Kahn get the crap end of the stick fighting young fighters..especially Kahn. Ill give him that, he fights the better comp imo.

          You can not teach a skill you yourself never learned.

            As a fighter Freddie did block a lot of punches with his face.

              pac's defense is defintely better than khans and chavez's , thats a no contest right there.. to me, pac's defense is just slightly less better than floyd's offense..

                i'm not sure about that, 2 fights where pacquiao supposedly dominated (cotto and clottey)his face looked pretty bad he was caught by alot of straight rights by clottey and manny was also getting hit alot by cotto before manny hurt him

                  Manny's best defense is his great offense. JMM exposed him in that department.
