This is probably the 1st time I've ever agreed with you on something...

No but seriously, I agree which is why it puzzles me when I read people say things like "Pac has good defense" or "Pac has improved so much he's not the same Pac he was in _______ (fill in a previous year)"

I'm sorry but I just don't see it. I mean of course aside from the obvious.
But as a whole fighter and or his skill set. This Sat. proved that he can be countered the same way he could be countered in 04.
I see a boxer who's often off balance. He has good side to side waist movement and head movement he also had it in 04. He's fast on his feet but what about the rest of the body? His hands are wailing and his head is wide open. Which is why JMM was able to connect him with uppercuts and shots down the middle.

Something that I haven't read many comment on is the shots JMM lands to the body it is very impressive what he is able to land almost at will on Pac. I believe it's round 8 where JMM lands a menacing left hook to the ribs that makes Pac bend to side and try to cushion the shot. But throughout the fight his body attack was superb. Especially to Pacs right side ribs.
