    Pacquiao is the most atheletic fighter since Roy Jones

    Pacquiao is the most athletic fighter since Roy Jones in his prime. Ive thought this for while but never had the balls to say it, but fcuk it thats what i think. Cant think of anyone with the raw power and speed of hand & foot since Roy Jones.

    Im not one to overate a fighter and im not trying to make him out to be unbeatable or anything, just that his pure athleticism is what makes him the fighter he is imo. I mean how can you make the mistakes this guy makes and not pay for it yet beat some of the best fighters around his weight.

    I think he is being overhyped and he probably will get beat by a technically superior fight but one thing he deserves a big up for is that athleticism.

    Think about how he had David Diaz falling face first to the canvas because his body went so limp he could not even put his hands out to stop himself, what about his demolition of Hatton ?

    His feet are so fast to, thats what goes unnoticed a lot of the time.

    His athleticism is impressive offensively....

    I don't know how he'd do against some1 who can back him up and not let him fight his fight...

    I wanna see him fight a defensive fighter...

    I wanna see him fight someone who cuts the ring off and doesn't allow him to jump in and out with combos...

          He does look extremely uncomfortable when he is made to do something he does not want to do, i think we saw a little bit of that when Hatton chased him and he looked awkward trying to back up when he did not want to.

          Someone else pointed this out on here or on another Site and sure enough if you watch Pacquaio vs Hatton you can see a perfect example of it.

                  Mosley is a good shout.


                  Mayweather does have better coordination but imo he gets *****ed for pure power, speed of hand and foot.

                  Mayweather does have quicker reflexes though, that is what makes Mayweather look faster than he actually is, great reflexes.

                  Sumbu Kalambay had extremely fast reflexes to but imo he was not as quick as someone like Michael Nunn.

                  Mayweather's reflexes looked great against Pep.

                    Glad to see I wasn't the only one who noticed this...

                    I think Cotto could present those problems but he's slow on his feet...
