Manny Pacquiao sometimes we forget just how good he really is

[Nameless]

Somehow, the more I think about it, the more I give Manny a good run against Mayweather. I agree that skill wise, Mayweather is the best. However, the recipe to beat Mayweather lies in lot of pressure, lot of speed volume in punching and good power. Castillo in their first fight should have won, he unsettled Mayweather by being very aggressive and throwing loads of shot. Hatton made quite well in the first few rounds with his bull pressure, only to get beaten by lack of skill. Pacquiao is a different beast though, he has speed the two others didn't have, a much better firepower and he can throw shots endlessly without tiring. And when he lands, it hurts. If he nailed down Cotto, Marquez or the very durable Morales, he can sure knock down Mayweather. I could imagine a fight where Mayweather wins the first few rounds based on skills but get hurt in the middle run by some of the shots that will eventually land to be knocked out toward the end of the fight. At least, PAcquiao has all the very rare and hard to combine ingredients to make it happen.

there is no question pbf is far more superior than pac boxing skills wise. and to add to what nameless said pbf got rocked by mosley. it only shows that pbf can get hit and with the right punch will probably go down. but if they fight im sure pbf will still win even though im a huge pacfan there is no denying that pbf's skills might be enough to beat my idol.


on the other hand i think pac will win against margarito its going to be similar to pac odlh.

taeth,

odlh had no plans to bulk up on fight night, if memory serves me right their plan was to go down in weight weeks before the fight and stay there. instead of dealing with losing weight then gaining it back again they decided to just lose it all so odlh can match pacs speed.

we often say that pac won cause the opponent has some kind of problem. but aint it fair to say that pac made those opponents lose? odlh looked old and slow cause pac peppered him with lighting fast punches? or cotto back peddling cause pac tagged him? and cotto realized that pac can hurt him or clottey acting like a punching bag cause pac doesnt allow him to throw much?

pac is just that good, he makes his opponents look like noobs.

...add the southpaw style and weird angle punches factor.

Indeed. Not saying he will win but I would definitely give him a run at the win. And a serious one.

Some great pointers there.

I'm sure Roach is well aware of it. They even mock Floyd's shoulder roll in this vid.
