Comments Thread For: Errol Spence: Pacquiao Lacks Fundamentals, Can't Cut Off Ring

[FrankieClutch]

Pacquiao isn't textbook, but he certainly has a lot of fundamentals down. Spence is a by the book fighter (which is brilliant, he's going to be a really good fighter), but just because Pacquiao isn't by-the-book doesn't mean he isn't fundamental.

I like Spence a lot, a skillfull but powerfull boxer-puncher, not a Mayweatherish pillow-fister/runner like lots of todays modern U.S. fighters! Not a mess like Marcus Browne, Alexander, Wilder or Broner for example. But it sounds a bit ****** to say that one of the best fighters from the last era lacks fundamentals....

It's going to be funny watching all the same bandwagon hopping off that went on with Broner, Thurman, and etc once this kid gets touched on by A or B level talent.

The whole WW division is overrated.

Cotto, Floyd and Manny brought interest to the division.
But without them, just a bunch of overhyped fighters or blown up decent 140 pounders.

They talk about P4P material/future of boxing when they speak about Brook, Thurman and Spence by now.

In reality they are just contenders or alphabet titilists to me.

If they move up to 154, they all would probably lose against Lara, Canelo or the winner of Charlo/ Trout.
So called P4P cats...

He was not too small to cut off the ring. That has nothing to do with it.

Hell yeah, try to cut off the ring against giants like fury or Klit and you will understand why size matters.

Errol who? Ah the arrogance of youth...

Don't troll bro, is the DAMN man who black eyed TBE.

Derrick James Spence Trainer said Pacquiao has no defensive no skills no fundamentals

Well if he really said that than Derrick James is a dumbass. An ATG like PAc has nothing, he was just lucky lol

The title makes it sound worse than it actually is. I was going to say that Spence should worry about his career as Pacquiao has cemented his legacy, but he simply answered a question honestly. Pacquiao cannot cut off the ring which allows fighters to enter survival mode.

With that said, I think there's a bit more to it. Pacquiao's inability to cut off the ring cost him against Mayweather, but I don't think it was a factor against Algieri as I don't think he wanted to hurt him. It seemed obvious to me that Algieri was carried to the end of the fight.

He said about Pac: "is a hard puncher, he's quick but he lacks Fundamentals...and that's what I'm big on, I can cut off the ring, I can vary up my punches".

Dude is trying to explain us why he is a better fighter (at least with more Fundamentals) than Manny.

Manny is taking a guy 5 inches taller when he's fighting Algieri.
Ther is no useful comparison of both fights.

Spence is a 147 contender and his comparing himself to a legend of the sport.

He's talking out of his ass . end off

When I saw this on fh I wondered how long would it take for pacs die hard fans to label Spence public enemy number one. Lol Spence just became the most hated man in boxing . lmbao
