Would you say he's an inside fighter, a swarmer, or a boxer-puncher?
I would say young Pacquiao was definitely a slugger.

Manny is a boxer puncher and with experience has developed some defensive measures and just to simplify matters he is a little bit more defensive now, he ducks every so often.
In boxing,it's not just WHO you fight,it's WHEN you fight them.
This is what Freddy Roach said about the fighters you named:
"Oscar can't pull the trigger any more,especially at 147"
"Cotto is not the same fighter since getting KO'd by Margarito"
"Margarito is not the same fighter since getting KO'd by Mosley"
He's a power punching pressure fighter
Southpaws in general are maybe a bit harder to categorize as they all fight against the grain. I think of Pacman now as a volume puncher with great boxing skills. Not sure pressure fighter fits any more, as he doesn't really get anything done on the inside and is by no means constantly coming forward. He used to throw a lot more, hit harder, but neglect defense completely.
If I had to classify him, I would say he practices centipede style.
David Lemieux = Future MW Champ and P4P King
Pac is a boxer/pressure type fighter and don't underestimate his footwork.
He will show everything on May the 2nd.
Footwork is not falling into punches on one leg.
Pac is sloppy as hell.
A fleet-footed volume-puncher
