Manny Pacquiao hasn't had an opponent apply steady pressure since Margarito

What does that have to do with the question of the thread? And he's an ATG, of course he knows how to cut the ring off. How does he hit moving opponent's then, smart guy?

First of all, nice font!

Second, since guys don't come after him, he has to go after them now. Unfortunately he's not good at cutting the ring off which negates some of his offensive firepower as a come forward fighter.

I know he doesn't have the KOs but all of them said he was way too fast and had some power with it so a lot of guys don't want to commit.

You need a guy who's not afraid to risk getting hit or someone who can just outbully him.

He knows how but he could be a little bit better at it. It's not elite status yet at cutting off the ring.

Hmmm.....

Thanks. I would say that maybe he's awkward at cutting the ring off. He just looks really nonchalant with it. LoL. And I would agree that he's not elite at it BUT he's effective at it. He hits everyone. He was even hitting Floyd while Floyd was "trying" to move a few times.

It trips me out that of all fighters in boxing--Manny can lose and people still want to applaud him. He's great, I agree. But, damn since I've been on this board for years and even after he loses people want to talk him up. Even when he decapitated people said "but he was winning the fight"

Can we wait until he wins again at least?? Sheesh, guys.

Manny shouldn't be fighting at 147. And, also I don't think he has a "Chinese chin". But, I also think Floyd's power is nil now. Partly due to brittle hands, but mostly because he's so defensive he doesn't muster much power (sit down on his punches).

Anyway, can we stop talking about how great Manny is. Style or no style

Coming forward against manny will get you seriously hurt.

Even Floyd said manny is at his best when he's moving backwards.

he's not at his best moving backwards, though he can tag you good when he does.

manny is at his best in a shootout (AT LEAST PRIME MANNY)

he is a beautiful instinctual fighter not really a tactical fighter, though he is a good tactical fighter too at times.

you come at manny, he just takes off with beautiful, sharp combos.

rios was aggressive but he was injured im pretty sure

injured by pac? possible.

i think he backed off because he didn't want to end up like marg.

Manny fights better going backwards. Even Floyd said that during training camp for their fight.

Yea he's effective but if he were better at it though (and there's a good amount for improvement for it to be considered great at cutting off the ring), it'd make him a much dangerous fighter. It was always 1 of my concerns about him when the Floyd-Manny fight was fight brought up because Manny would usually chase and chase while Floyd knows how to move around the ring a lot.
