PAC has now evolved into a master boxer

[Spoon23]

loved roy jones jr. analysis of the fight. talked about how pacquiao was one of the best fighters in the game at catching punches with his gloves.

Even Roy Jone Jr. Saw his defensive skill is amazing. He can catch punches with his gloves superbly. Now that's a skill of a great boxer.

boring boxers who throws 5-6 combos. when the other boring boxers can do that i'll consider them exciting to watch.

Haha. That boring boxing is too safety oriented to be exciting. Just to add. Boring is for boxers who don't take risks.

Pac takes calculated risk to throw fast combos in 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 combos whichever he feels at that time, the other dude can't do that. He's too boring to try, coz he might lose his 0. Just saying.

Pacquiao is a master boxer. He may not be the typical traditional textbook master boxer, but more importantly, he is a pioneer and master of his own unique style that only Marquez has been able to solve.

There are other master boxers out there too who are too frightened to test themselves against Pacquiao's mastery because their fathers understand they did not expect a guy like Pacquiao to exist and could do nothing to prepare their children other than convince them to duck him.

Yeah, they can't figure out to defeat an unorthodox boxer/fighter like Pac. His style is unique only to him. He has the ring savy and I.Q of a fighter who has honed his skills for fighting for 19 yrs as a professional.

He has truly evolved to a great boxer. After all sweet science is a craft. And Pac is a student of the game for yrs. now. It's human nature to evolve and become better. Pac most certainly has evolved to a complete boxer.

Is that right?

Pacquiao has BEEN a greatly improved more complete boxer for years. It's the Pacquiao predating David Diaz you're thinking of - but wait, you weren't following the sport back then and neither were any of the outspoken idiot noobs who seem to think any of this is a revelation.

A lot of my friends who are Pac fans came on after the DLH fight. When I played the DVDs that I have of the Morales trilogy and the lower weight wars with JMM, they were blown away.

It's been great watching him evolve from the all offense whirlwind at featherweight to a more complete fighter through welterweight. I think at welterweight his power has less effect than lower weights which explains the lack of KOs. But at the lower weights, his punches rocked.

This is the best opening to a thread ever!!

thank you.

Yes, I've noticed that also since the Marquez KO. Not only does he appears more humbled and vulnerable but less confident and willing to mix it up in the exchanges too; Which was once a Pac signature. He has learned to adjust and reinvent himself which is a good thing and should benefit his career in the long run.

Best shot boxer in the history of the sport. Dude is so shot he can still beat anybody from 140 to 147 outside of Floyd and just beat out the #3 P4P boxer in the world, lmao

Lol good one. That is the biggest compliment a boxing fan can give to a great fighter.

hes way more cautious wich I like at this stage of his career. Manny still has flaws but his boxing IQ is underrated. Even Roy Jones was saying Pac defense was very good. Pac will never be a defensive fighter but I think that KO reminded him that hes a bit past prime and it was time to box more.

No more 80-100 punches a round. Feint, head movement, nice footworks will win him fights. It sucks thst he went full ****** on JMM cause he was boxing very good before the KO. Pac is the man and you will always have haters who will try to downgrade what he has accomplished, but to come back from a devastating KO and win a title by wide UD vs a top 5 P4P is very impressive. To all Manny haters... no matter what u guys think or say.. Manny will be in the history books has one of the best fighter ever. Hes a true ATG. No need to feel unsecure everytime someone praises Manny skill.

You nailed it.

a calculated risk could get your ass embarrassed too but i feel u... some of us enjoy watching boxers make thier oponents miss all fight and boxing technique /adjustments/strategy... i enjoy both styles i just prefer technical boxing. pacs calculated risk has him worn down and at the end of his career already, hes one of the greats tho but if i could chose id be a technical boxer its just wierd as supposed boxing fans its called running and talked down on.. its actually harder than brawling to be good at
