pacquiao??

[bigge233]

Does anybody else doubt that Pacquiao still might be questionable at moving up in weight? I mean im a big pacman fan and i give him credit for crushing Oscar, but i just am still not convinced. Dela Hoya didnt fight back at all in that fight and from the start he was just not doing what he was known for. I didnt see any opposition in the fight or any hard shots landed by oscar to test Pacquiao's chin. Oscar even came in lighter then Pacquiao at fight night giving up a huge advantage.

Anyway i hope Pacquiao dominates and hope my doubts are proven wrong

Hatton will check that chin and we'll find out if his body can take a beating too

i think his performance vs odlh was awesome, i think alot of it had to do with oscar bein weight drained tho. takin nothin away from manny, against a live 147 er e.g cotto, margo think it would be a different story.the hatton fight should show us a bit more on the comin up in weight shiit. hatton shoud test him

I think going up in weight actually helps the fast puncher types. If you look at guys like Roy Joens Jr who when he went up to LHW, he could still hit hard enough to hurt his opponents, but his speed was way too much for them. I think defensive guys like Mayweather it doesn't help that much because he doesn't overwhelm opponents with his speed unless they are people like Arturo Gatti. In Pacquiao's case, a guy who hits hard and uses his speed so well, the slower his opponents the less he gets hit, definitely the better for him.

Manny Pac should have stayed at the lower weights, he will be destroyed by Hatton.

I must say Mannys a proper buzz saw, its a very impressive and pleasing on the eye style that he has, but because he throws in bunches he is thier for the counter if you are quick enough or can time him. Ricky seems to have hit it off with Floyd Snr and will be training in California from eight weeks out at Altitude for six weeks, he has been doing light training (keeping the weight down) already, so when he meets up with Floyd he will be ready to learn and listen. Mannys victorys over Dias and Oscar impressive though they were, he hardly took a flush shot so the jury is out on his toughness at 140, he has been badly stunned in the past and slipped off the hook, Ricky wont let him off the hook not with Floyd pulling the strings, now there is going to be some method to the madness.
