Problem is fan boys can't discuss things like grown ups, 'pacman are best at everything' you can't even say anything which doesn't have a 100% positive slant on their idol.

most of them are just band wagon jumpers, hence their lack of understanding of the sport/inability to think in terms of boxing.
cc Adam. I have a different take

Roy says Pacman is not a thinking fighter?.. I think Roy’s comment was rather novice for such a seasoned world class fellow . .often the power puncher is thought to be brainless. true in some cases no doubt, however its not factual in this case. , If you look at the matches Manny blasted Morales with ease. Out thinking Morales and beating him to the punch , Manny snatched Barrera in a once sided affair winning that match with ease. ,, also had crowd pleasing match with the great underappreciated JMM.
Take all that into account . I feel Manny is a P4P fighter if there ever was one..

I also believe that Ricky Hatton is masterful at his craft, while both Pacman and Hatton's styles are different from Roy's. they are every bit as effective as Roy's was , and much more crowd pleasing as whole in my opinion then Roy’s . so I would say both Hatton and Pacman are p4p blokes, just my humble opinion. One thing is for sure , a fan is going to get his money's worth with Hatton and Pacman ! That couldn’t always be said about Roy's fights. not to say Roy wasn’t talented , he was. however like Mayweather , he didn’t always put his masterful skills to the best of use.

Thrilling the fans is always an important factor for any prize fighter to take into account when utilizing their given style. Balls being the greatest asset in boxing . Marciano to Sugar Ray Leonard both had Different styles. both has brass balls .
