There is nothing dishonest about fighting on the inside. As for Pacquiao's weight class, that seems to be anything but an accepted limit. He is more than capable of throwing up close and maintaining weird angles, his biggest problem seems to be handling someone who can read his intentions well and counter. He is also while still pretty fast, slowing down.
While, I'm not calling in-fighting tactics dishonest and dirty, the physical use of the head, shoulders, clinching and legs are not exactly clean and honest according to the rules. Some fighters find subtle ways to use those parts of the body illegally to gain leverage. The use of such tactics is not tolerated by some refs and is by others.
