Would you consider Pacquiao one of the best offensive fighters of all time?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Jones was not a counter puncher. Are you new to boxing?

Wtf....

So in your opinion, Roy was an offensive come forward fighter, than never hung out on the outside, and always came forward looking to attack?

Because he sure as hell never did that vs Hopkins, Toney, hill, johnson, tarver, Paz, etc..

Roy would only go crazy offensively when he was against an overmatched opponent.



Roy would just move, potshot, and then counter.. he was never an aggressive come forward fighter in the vein of manny or Tyson

[Wolfie*]

Yes. The best offensive fighter of all time. His speed and explosive power will never be seen in our lifetime.

[The Big Dunn]

I gave Manny 3 out of the first 4 rounds so yea I do.

Ok. I can see giving him the 4th. Everyone gave him that round. I don't see how you can give him any other round scoring the fight according to proper scoring criteria.

[The Big Dunn]

floyd was good at hyping up these mediocre opponents to make them look like future all-time greats...floyd boys bought into it hook, line, and sinker

Actually it was Manny fans that bought into Bob's garbage. Smart boxing people knew Floyd was always a bad matchup for Manny. Many even said so.

[Hype job]

Yes.

No. One of the best offensive fighters ever would have stopped fighters on the level of Jeff Horn, Algieri, or Bradon Rios. And he got shutdown and embarrassed by Floyd. Pac's offense is overrated.

Guy is way best his prime. Next you're gonna say Roy Jones isn't one of the greatest light HW's because he gets knocked out every other fight now.. lol

Pacquiao completely destroyed Cotto which was a huge accomplishment given Pac was fighting at 130 a year prior. Remember Canelo couldnt manage to stop Cotto 7 years & several losses later!

"Way past his prime". Were his fans not expecting him to KO Jeff Horn? Was that not that expectation? Was he not the overwhelming favorite to knock out Jeff Horn? Wasn't Jeff Horn meant to be an easy show case fight? Am I mistaken?

The fact is, in his prime Pac relied too much on his power and athleticism. He never took the time to learn basic thing such as cutting off the ring. He never developed his body punching. There are too many things Pac doesn't do to be considered one of the best offensive fighters of all time.

And do you think Pac could have stopped Cotto if he fought him at the full 154?

[Floyd is TBE]

Also Roy Jones Jr. is almost 50. Pac is 38. Huge diff.

[hugh grant]

If there are only 2 options either vdefensiuve our offensive and no in between then pac has to be consiudered one of greatest offensive fighters

[RussB23]

Hell ******** yeah. The pac from around 2007-2010 was a monster and he was probably on some tropicana as well. But he was a beast back then , the combos, the movement the power the speed and constant punching. ATG.
