Manny Pacquiao's Balance: Is it a issue?

[Zab Super Judah]

I noticed that everytime he comes forward and throws barrages his balance would be screwed up. As Emanuel steward said his feet cross and it seems like he always has one of his legs in the air. It could be a very dangerous flaw but not sure if anyone can take advantage of it. He sort of reminds me of the Prince who had very bad balance when he was punching but manny has slightly better balance.

Do you guys see manny's balance as a issue? or will he just go right through everyone in his way?

would the prince have a shot at beating manny pacquaio?

pac is one of my favorite fighters but like you and steward mentioned his balance is and could be a problem if he fought someone like freitas who has serious power if he got caught with a solid shot while being off balance he will be in serious trouble..

his balance MAY always be an issue...

his balance may NOT be an issue...

can't really determine that until the time comes...but is off balanced approach worked fine the likes of MAB, Morales, and should've won vs Marquez...

so I would not say it is a big blow to his career...lol

but vs an upright fighter who is not of the "warrior" monkier...who likes to stick and move...basic box...whatever...they may take advantage of it...

Yes, PAC's balance is a serious problem. Especially when he's being backed up by the fighter he seriously starts to lose balance and goes verticle. If MORALES was hitting harder or if he was being baraged on and even though he may not be getting seriously hurt it'll affect the judges decisions or he may actually fall down now that he's fighting at 130lbs. with fighters being stronger than the 126lbsers.

It may be or may be not for a certain fighter...but with Pac, I think his speed compensates for it. He could move backwards or to the side and he would be out of harms way. Morales hit Pac several times with solid shots but withstood them. Pac is hard to beat having an excellent stamina and conditioning.

However I agree that being off balance doesn't look good after being hit by an opponent coz the punch appears to be hard and powerful even though it is not.
