Since when are smaller fighters( Pacquiao) expected to cut the ring off on larger com

[goblin213]

But he does.

He's great at what he does, decent in other departments, and a mess in some.

that's what I was trying to say

I mean you have a guy like D M Qawi who was a tiny LHW with slow foot speed and he was able to cut the ring off

I would embed it but the site keeps crashing on my phone when try to do so. I'll do so when I get home.

THIS is your example?

This is not any different from the Mosely and Algeiri fights. Pacquiao following the guy around the ring most of the time.

Better than manny's lunging into his death at counterpunchers because he can't cut a ring off

PAC lunged himself into a deep deep sleep. Mr. Sandman couldn't have put PAC into a deeper sleep.

Since when was Frazier smaller than Ali. Shirter maybe but smaller lol. It's obvious a lot of you guys never seen a ring up close let alone got into one.

How was Pacquiao smaller than Algieri? He was shorter. That's basically what you're saying about Ali-Frazier.

You're just further demonstrating your idiocy. Also, Frazier was smaller than Ali.

Manny is simply not effective at cutting off the ring regardless of his size. All Mosely did was shuffle his feet and Pacquiao simple followed him around the ring. Pacquiao's work rate and power won him a lot of fights especially when the opponent was stationary or lingered within his punching range. Mosely showed that staying outside his range will cause him to lunge. Mosely didn't win the fight but it gave Mayweather and even Marquez a path to victory.

Exactly and this is why Marquez used more movement in the 3rd fight than in their previous two fights.

Its antonishing that a much smaller fighter is held to such high standards. It also shows the ignorance of some of the posters on this site.

If an taller, longer, and natually fast fighter doesn't want to be caught than guess want he isn't going to be caught. It takes alot of energy as the smaller fighter to constanly cut of the ring agaisnt bigger opponents whos are also fast and running.

What Spence said was incorrect. It doesn't make him a bad person but it shows he has a lot to learn. Spence had a good size advantage and an Algieri who wasn't moving very often. Plus Spence had the lenght to cover ground quickly once he had Algieri hurt and the strenght to break clinches.

And just for reference ( since i know some of you are blind with hatred towards Pacman) i'll list other fighters well known for cutting the ring off at lower weights but struggled when moving up.

Roberto Duran
Chavez Sr.
Azumah Nelson

since when?

when your opponent thinks he is usain bolt then you got to play catch up and beat him up.....that's the expectation....and that seems to be the norm now....

You think that is cutting off the ring?

Lower weight classes. Back when Manny was a inside fighter with a solid body attack. Especially at Flyweight.

When Manny was a inside fighter??? lol when was he ever a inside fighter?? dude stop
