      That was 7 years ago, he hasn't come close to being knocked out since.

However, I think Keith, a very observant and prepared fighter, is going to take advantage of those holes especially against this aging version of Pac Man.
          ... right on point!...

            Much like Ali Pacquiao doesn't fight the boxing traditional way and he does make mistakes from a technical standpoint, but that doesn't mean they both weren't skilled boxers.
            So many people are still underrating Pac's boxing ability and it's incredible how after all these years they still don't see the skill level that Pac possesses.

              So you're saying that Ezzard Charles wasn't a technical fighter, since he got caught by Jersey Joe Walcott?

                Bro, I'm telling you right now that you will be tagged with a straight left while you are jumping in trying to land a right on Pac. You will be hurt badly because of your style, Pac is eager to fight you for a good reason.

                  manny's fundamentals are overlooked.

                  If he was total **** at them, he wouldn't be boxing well throughout his late 30s.

                    Highest boxing iq I have seen is Mayweather no one comes close. He was calm in there, mostly everyone fights with emotion not the clear minded focus that may had.

                      A punch that took a technician like Marquez 4 fights to land people conveniently forget that. And the fact Marquez went through hell to land that punch.
