Manny Pacquiao Getting Outboxed Interesting Fight.

It's incredible to think that it's the same person really.. With other great fighters you can usually see the signs early on, watching this for the first time who would imagine that Pacquiao was even remotely one to look out for.. He does almost nothing promising that I see, truly amazing the way he has evolved as a fighter. Even to watch him against Ledwaba or Barrera where he was largely one dimensional, he is LEAPS ahead of himself here as far as athletecism and punching form etc.

Agreed.

I bought 4 career sets early this year, Pacquiao, Maywethaer, Mosley and Juan Manny Marquez.

3 out of 4 of those fighters don't look any different in their primes than what they did in their 1st couple of fights.

Manny Pacquiao was horrible to watch as a novice. In retrospect that's a great thing (as far as the story goes) but i wouldn't of even bothered with him if the attached fight was here and now.

Thanks for vid Ice.

Mayweather looks nothing like he used to in his early fights, he used to be a lot more aggressive and flat footed so guess you oughta re-watch his career set

You think so on Mayweather? I see him as basically the same. He has that olympic style of boxing that has him scoring and moving. He seems to get a little more flat footed later in fights as his opponent doesnt seem to be as much of a threat. He did it pretty early against Zab Judah.


As far as Manny, no way you can use any of his early fights as any barometer to judge him, hes a completely different fighter now, but that doesnt change the fact that his style still may have problems with a good boxer.
