Is Pacquiao slick if not define it..

[M.I.C.]

Slick generally refers to defense, Pac defense is not very good much less slick!

[PEBBLES!]

The majority of Pacquiao fans don't know shit about boxing.


What a fucking joke.

An offensive fighter can be slick, but the slickness is purely a defensive term. For example, Tim Bradley can be both slick and offensive. That's really what a counter puncher (Like Martinez) is. The easiest way to say it is Pac gets hit too much to be slick.

It comes down to how smooth the movement is ,, Pac is a jumpy fighter with fast short combination handspeed , speed is compared to who your out speeding , and in that , I reckon Pac appears faster than what he really is , he is fast , dont get me wrong he is fast , but not as fast as Floyd especially at range , Floyd is very smooth in his movements, he glides and he has shown fast when against fast fighters ,,, I define slick as being smooth and hit and not get hit , Manny is a puncher fighter like Meldrick Taylor , JC Chavez etc , a slick fighter tags you and is gone .

for a guy as fast as he is, he gets tagged waaay too often.

Pac is actually very slick.

he rolls his shoulder, rolls his head, he sets guys up, he feints, makes you miss, catches punches with his elbows and gloves..

If you're high enough and you squint your eyes, he can look like a little roy jones.

It's just that he's not slick the entire fight. Sometimes he chooses to brawl or takes a rest and allows you to hit him with his guard up.

there are two type of slick fighters
1. the offensive slick fighters who goes forward and circles opponents, which gets hit a little, the entertaining ones

2. and the deffensive slick fighters, who runs all over the ring for 12 round like a chicken, the boring ones

i put pac closer to the offensive slick fighters, coz his good at circling opponent with his footwork, side to side as he moves forward and throws crazy combos,
he gets hit sometimes its coz he wants to entertain people with the WAR he show in the ring, and to break down opponents mentally that they cant hurt him.
you cant see offensive slick fighter who throws 4-5 combo punches without getting hit

i put floyd in the defensive slick fighters, which basically goes backwards most of the time and makes opponent tire from chasing him and then he goes for the attack, the boring ones :///

I think a pure slick fighter is defensive and only counters mainly.

Pac is an offensive machine, and he likes to have a brawl and encourages people to hit him. He likes to entertain the fight fans.

Look how much praise he is getting by normal sports fans. They loved it.

Now if there is any boxer who is offensive as Pac and gets hit less, then please tell me. Don't even say but Clottey hit him at will or Marg hit him a lot. Pac let them hit him at those stages because they weren't throwing **** or hitting, so he taps his hands like 'hit me'.

When Pac chooses to bring it on, he can do, and he likes getting hit and then returning fire much like Nigel Benn etc...

Actually it's more like, the offensive slick fighters, that use upper body movement to avoid punches on the inside (Duran). And the ones that use 4-5 punch combinations, but still use upper body and lateral movement to avoid punches (Martinez).

Than there r the defensive slick fighters that use upper body and lateral movement to avoid being hit while, focusing most of their offense on pot shots and jabs (Whitaker, Mayweather).

Saying "goes forward and circles" doesn't make sense. Ur first description just describes how most boxers r. Most boxers use lateral movement, and most boxer get hit [a little]. Pac is certainly like the first one, but that's not the description for a slick fighter.

And about u saying "Pac gets hit but that's becuz he wants to entertain the people." If Pac gets hit on purpose, he's an idiot. Plain and simple. Sure its entertaining, but so is the stuff they do on Jackass. U can't tell me those guys aren't doing dumb shyt.

He is fast not slick,there is a big difference he does not slip punches,when he fights in the pocket he gets hit,slick fighters can fight in the pocket nd not get hit.
