Does Pacquiao have any experience fighting with his back on the ropes?

I think what Sweet Pea is asking was already answered by Chubby.

The only time that I can recall Pacquiao being on the ropes one too many a time for his own good, was in the Pacquiao VS Morales I. This is with the Pacquiao version we all know in this side of the globe.

The oriental version... he did a bit of fighting on the ropes, but not excessively as a weapon defensively. More than anything, it was more of a situation more enforced by the opposition, as he has not learnt the ability to stay out of the ropes, and the necessity to do so in those days was not a priority nor a concern.

Prior to his US campaign, I remember seeing Pacquiao on the ropes on his fights, "occasionally", employing this as defensive stance in times of confusion. He got away with it because the opposition is not the same caliber as the big three, MAB, EM, and JMM, and the like.

I think he was on the ropes and on the defensive, heavily attacked, when Nadel Hussein dropped him, but Pac still somehow managed to finish the fight winning it by a TKO. At this time, still escaping with the win, did not make him realize that with his skillset, staying away from the ropes is playing to his advantage, and strength.

It was later on with Roach, and after the beating he experienced at the hands of Morales in the first fight, did I notice a conscious effort to stay off the ropes whenever he fights. Most especially the Morales 2, when Viloria working as a color analyst for a Philippine PPV station, and who trained with Pacquiao prior to the fight, unconsciously provided inside information repeatedly in his side commentaries indicating this guideline of Roach to Pacquiao in staying off the ropes.

Since then, seldom will you find Pacquiao doing his version of the rope-a-dope. This adjustment is such a source of accomplishment, for he has never lost any fight since!

I think that is a definitive answer to the question... If Hatton were to use his strengths against Pacquiao then Hussien's tactics were pretty effective.

But unless Mayweather Sr. words are just a smoke screen we won't see any of the old Hatton.

Hussein lost the fight bro!!! Imitating a loser won't help Hatton!
