Are people still doubting Pacquiao's boxing skills?

[Phenom]

I dont recall Whitaker moving like an oil tanker and eating punches like Alvarado at any point in his career.

it was a 10-2 schooling by Alvarado seriously he got outboxed by Mike ****ing Alvarado

Rios isn't a boxer. He never was a boxer, and he'll never be a boxer. He's a brawler.

Rios isn't beating anybody by outboxing them.

I think Pac's boxing skills are underrated. He just tends to get reckless when he tries to instigate the action.

What Pacquiao did against Rios was the textbook definition of "boxing" aka hit and don't get hit

Bradley can box but he can't box like Pacquiao which was evident in the first fight when Bradley was getting tagged repeatedly and missed alot of punches badly.

Pacquiao shuts him out 12-0

He's certainly a flawed "boxer" per se, but some aspects of his boxing game are absolutely mesmerizing.

Pacquiao has been a skilled boxer for most of his career, his speed and power have added something special to his abilities and allowed him to look super human at times in the ring. It's that natural athletic ability that has sadly over shadowed his boxing, he used to have the best head movement I'd seen in a fighter since Tyson, his ability to switch attacks from head to body was as good as anything a prime JCC had done and he showed he could adapt to a number of styles.

Problem is, many "fans" only think it's boxing when a guy sticks a jab, holds, pushes and repeats, ala Hops, Ward or Floyd. Pac is closer to the SRL or SRR school of boxing than anyone I've seen in a long time.

I see some people are trying to convince themselves that Bradley will simply outbox Pacquiao to a decision. Why is it that Pac's boxing ability always seems to be the most underrated/overlooked aspect in his game?
Especially since he already gave the supposed better boxer Tim a boxing lesson in the first fight. Don't get me wrong, Pac turning up the heat and fighting Tim would be ideal if he wants to win the rematch more convincingly but Pac is also capable of outboxing him as well. People seem to forget that he's a pretty skilled boxer himself.

When was the last time Manny outboxed someone he didn't have a vast speed advantage over? Just because he can run circles around plodders like Rios and Margarito doesn't mean he has great boxing ability.

Everyone knows that lateral movement is the bane of Marquez's existence. If Manny was this great boxer you are making him out to be, he wouldn't have struggled with and got KO'd by Marquez.

i don't know what fight people watched in the Rios fight but I thought he looked great

[I Love Jesus!]

why do you think Floyd dodged him in his prime so bad? Could be his southpaw stance
