Why no one dares to imitate Manny Pacquiao?!

[Masters01]

Why would anyone want to? Manny isn't technically sound or graceful to the eye, he is just incredibly fast, has a great work ethic, and as he once said, "a sheer determination to rise from poverty". He has heart, drive, and a fighters spirit, that's why he is a champion and an ATG, definitly not his boxing skills.

If Manny isnt technically sound to you with good boxing skills, then it's because you are not designed to understand the nuances of the sport. Like Berto and Broner, you are intellectually capable of seeing a shoulder turn, but finer aspects of the sport like feinting, pivoting and transitioning from defence to offence etc are too subtle for your kind to comprehend.

For normal people it is physically taxing: stamina wise and joint wise. People also lack the physical attributes. The shoulder roll looks more inviting but you're mistaken if you believe it is any easier to pull off.

If people had a keen eye they'd see that Pacquiao and Mayweather fight differently now. They do so because they can't meet the physical demands.

thats because pac didnt learn his style from anyone. he makes it up as he go LOL!! pac doesnt have a style if u wanna put it like that.

a lot of fighters have heart, drive and determination. how come their not at the same level as manny?

Relentless pressure
Ready to die in the ring
Head hunting punching
Tenacity
Iron Chin
Takes Punches to land Punches
Pride

Mercito gesta seems to doing a good job applying pacquiao's style. Watch his last fight. He's almost got that straight left to the T.

yah mercito gesta did pull off some manny pacquiao moves (i.e. countering the jab with the straight left and then moving off to the side).

but gesta doesn't have nearly the same attitude as a prime pacquiao which was to seek and destroy nor did he show the same activity level.

Because absolutely no competent trainer is going to let their fighter fight like Pacquiao. It's a terrible idea. Pac pulls it off because he's Pac. He's unique.

We will never see a Manny Pacquiao again.


In 20 years he will be much more appreciated than Floyd
