I'd just like to know seeing as a lot of people keep saying that Pacquiao struggles against fighters with this style and I would like to watch fights where he has fought slick fighters (If he hasn't, it doesn't really matter to me). I'm not really interested in the whole Mayweather-Pacquiao debate.

Bradley, now Algieri back to back. Both movers and slick...
lol ... He's slowly preparing himself for Floyd.

I consider Bradley as a slick fighter when he wants to be, and look at the rematch, in the first half of the fight, when Bradley's calf wasn't inured, Pacquiao barely won 1-2 rounds, he struggled, and if Bradley didn't try to go for the knockout (he rocked Pac, but with his punching power, going for the KO is a dumb idea) IMO he could win comfortable. He lost clrearly the first fight though.

Just wondering?

He has fought way more than Floyd. what is weird is you have the nerve to complain about Pac ALgieri yet you ask how many slick boxers has Pac fought? yet criticize him fighting a slick boxer, logically shouldn't you be praising Pac for fighting slick boxing Algieiri?

Timothy Bradley is slick, just look at how he outboxed and out slicked Juan Manuel Marquez who gave Pac trouble, but Pac whooped Bradley.


He is fighting another one in November, Algieri is a pure boxer who is pretty slick, he has height, reach and size on Pac and has stamina for days and fights off the back foot while changing position often.

most people had it 3-2 either way after 5 and even after 6.
It was close the 1st half of the fight. "Pacquiao barely won 1-2 rounds, he struggled,... " is not accurate.

It wasn't that Bradley was just going for the knockout,..he got TIRED and couldn't keep the pace. PAC felt Bradley's power and figured it wasn't a good ideal to get hit by Bradley's overhand right.. So PAC made adjustments and started to move more.

Bradley was trying to be like Pacquiao. Believing in his power and going balls to the wall for the KO, but he fell short.

Bradley is slick if he chose to be. Marquez didnt land anything on him. Even in toe to toe he is also hard to hit with the exception of provo fight where he came out like a boss. If bradley boxes he is slick and boring. He wants to do damage but has little power thats why he pushes it damn hard sometimes and things get all wrong for him.

I respect your opinion, but I see otherwise. I think that the injury was salient on Bradley's movement and ring quality + he looked for the KO which is a bad strategy with his power, even if he rocked hard Pacquiao once. For me he had above 4-2 on scorecards in the first 6 rounds.
I honestly think that on a third fight with better strategy he would beat Pac, since Pac is just half years older and slower again and Bradley is probably at his prime, though Pac's style is all bad for him (just like JMM's for Pac, they are like a triangle).
