    If PAC can improve his balance when he tries to recover from his lunging straightleft he is pretty much a Tank.
    At this stage in PAC's career there is not much to change from him anymore other than maintain his top conditioning and improve his balance.
    All in all though he is much improved:
    1. His defense improved he was blocking alot of JMM's punches with his gloves.
    2. Though still lacking his balance has improved as compared to before.
    3. Right hand is big time improvement.

    PAVLIK:
    Permeable Defense and sometimes plodding.

    COTTO:
    Not perfect defense but who has, other than PBF

    I disagree a little about Pacquaio, I think that Pacquaio's defense looked horrible in many parts of his fight against Marquez, he was getting hit by punches he shouldn't have many times in that fight. One other thing I noticed was that Pacquaio needs a lot of space to throw that left hand, and Marquez would move back, then come forward just a little too close for Pacquaio to throw that left hand like he wants to which in the early middle rounds I felt stopped Pacquaio from throwing very many punches.
    That's your opinion Mr. TAE.

    If Pac's defense was that horrible, then he would've been KTFO or KDed by JMM.
    ... he has a good chin obviously... he was getting picked apart for a lot of rounds. I was jush surpised because Barrera fought MArquez pretty evenly, and in Pac-MAB 2 Barrera wasn't landing anything, and Pacquaio was completely dominating that fight though he never stepped on the gas.

    Molitor - Lacks power

    Winky - Getting old, losing his legs, it remains to be seen how going up in weight to fight B-Hop will affect him, reportedly often demands too much money and misses out on big fights (IE Taylor rematch)

    Kessler - Seems rattled by the loss to Calzaghe, potential injury issues

    Winky: Being so good that no one wants to fight him.

    Or Winky thinks that he is too good for anyone to fight with him

    John Duddy: Where to begin.....non-exsitant defense, sometimes he thinks he is not able to get knocked out or something. Fights the other guys fight too much, doesn't use his speed and jab enough. Moves his head with hands low, he lacks pure one shot power....after all that you would wonder why I'm a fan.....he's fun to watch.

    Jhonny Gonzalez - Definately has pacing problems, suspect stamina, like to go too hard for the KO sometimes at the expense of good body placement.

    Glen Johnson - Judges . Sometimes he sacrifices his defense to land good offense and while he maybe in there landing harder shots he can tend to get outlanded.

    Emmanual Augustus - Dance dance revolution, spends waaaay too much time trying to look good, but not enough time boxing.

    Marquez was getting picked apart by Pac too. Too bad it's JMM who always hits the canvas everytime these two fighters lock horns in the ring.

    Joel Casamayor- Risks point deductions with dirty style. Not the mover he once was. Tends to push his punches instead of sitting down on them.


    Rafael Marquez- Rather brawl than use great boxing skills. Chin a little weak.

    Solid Idea for topic,How objective are we really ??

    Evander Holyfield......His ego and stubborn ,almost selfish, pride blinds him to the fact that HE IS DONE.He is living on memories and risk's allowing himself to become a punchline.

    Bernard Hopkins.......Seemingly comfortable just staying content and not leaving it all in the ring at times.

    Kotya Tszyu.
    Took too long to get set and throw his shots against pressure fighters. Relied too much on his punching power and not his great boxing skills at times.

    You have a valid point there PAcstraight. I really wonder why people are saying Pac's defense is not good. For a KO artist like our man, his combination of defense and offense is quite excellent.
