Is Manny Pacquiao a smart boxer or a ****** boxer?

[Los Zetas]

cotto won like 1 round. yeah he outboxed pac.

cotto did good with his jab like the 1st round.

then pac adjusted and started going over it the next round.

cotto didn't stop outboxing him because he wanted to, he was forced to.

some of you guys are clueless.

Welcome back to NSB. Been too long and we much needed you to own these fools.

a smart boxer wouldn't have run face first into a right hand... he relies on his power, when that doesn't work as with JMM, he reverts right back to his jab, jab, straight left.

Do you know how to spot a floydiot alt from a distance? They are mostly in red.

Everything you said had nothing to do with his ring IQ

that's not the case. i'll venture that you didn't read it.

Don't respond to trolls.

There are many styles of fighting and Pac is none of those "waits his opponent to punch first then punch and run". Pac is a type of fighter who uses his attributes (speed, power, chin) into full effect. If you notice most of his opponents (Barrera, Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Mosley, Margarito, etc.) suffered a one sided beating in his hands. Even Morales and Marquez in all those fights Pac hurt them most and gave them hell more than any fighters they fought.

Who needs to be a boxer when you can beat the crap of out your opponents while looking good in doing so to everybody?

he's a smart boxer, like most athletic phenoms he likes to use his athleticism, his strenght and power, and really feels a need to put some hurt on his opponents with his punches and so likes to throw everything into a punch, it's a strenght, but also a weakness
look at roy jones, some people actually think he was only good because he was fast, and as soon as that speed went he started getting clobbered

look at it this way, marquez is considered a super smart boxer, but it's not like pacquiao has been outboxed by an average boxer and he takes marquez to hell everytime they fight

some people(guessing people that never actually boxed) dont realise you can't stay at the high level being ******

Slightly above average ring IQ imo. He'll make little adjustments like countering the jab with the strait left ( knocked jmm down with it in the last fight, also hit cotto with it alot). One thing that I knock him is his inability to cut the ring off. He just doesn't know how to cut the ring off, he just follows you.

I've never seen anything he's done in the ring that would suggest to me he was smart, i've seen plenty that suggests he isn't.

Pac is a very smart fighter, he fights the way he does because it works for him. Despite what every other person mutters, he is not a brawler. He has a rhythm with his in and out style and head movement that makes him a very hard puzzle to solve. He knows how to counter very well but he usually doesnt because he doesnt have to. People tend to confuse technicality with skill. The ultimate display of skill and smarts is winning

I know Oscar was old and drained but Manny painted a master piece in that fight. **** was amazing. He stayed off the ropes, utilized head movement, strait lefts in and out. Poor Oscar had no idea what to do.
