Hopefully that day was just a light workout since it was media day. But it wasn't that impressive compared to before.

Or even a dumb fighter at all, or a brawler at all. He's neither.
Where does it say that?
I've said he's not a smart fighter, I don't consider him a smart fighter. But he's sure as hell not a dumb fighter.
There's more than just the two ends of the spectrum.

Just because a guy isn't really overly smart in the ring doesn't make them "dumb" . Like I said there isn't just the two ends of the spectrum.
Pacquaio might make some silly mistakes at times, and in fights he often makes the same mistakes multiple times but he's still not dumb or mindless in there.
Mike Tyson for example, I wouldn't consider him a smart fighter. Is he a dumb fighter? No, obviously not.
A lot of those posts being quoted are in response to saying Pacquaio is a very smart fighter with very high Ring IQ. I disagree with that but again, that doesn't mean I'm saying he has none at all.

so then how is he not a thinking fighter then? LOL.. u said he's not a thinking fighter. if he doesnt think then how does he set up his shots? how does he couter his opponents? if he's not a thinking fighter he'll just go in there swinging like crazy. most of the people on here that says manny is not a smart fighter or is a thinking fighter they're basing it off marquez. they're saying manny couldnt adjust, etc. therefore he is not a smart fighter. did u guys ever think that maybe manny's style just suits marquez perfectly? or maybe marquez is just a tad bit better than manny? so when floyd schooled marquez and marquez couldnt do anything to adjust, is marquez not a thinking fighter too then cuz he couldnt adjust to floyd?

I've said he's not the kind of guy who beats his opponents but out-thinking them. Does that mean I'm saying he doesn't think when he's in the ring?
What I've said, is he's "not really a smart fighter". I.e He's not an overly smart fighter, he's not a guy who beats his opponents by out-thinking them, he's not guy with a very high Ring IQ, I've said he's a guy who uses his physical tools more than he does his mental ones (Not that he entirely uses those physical tools).
Do I think Pacquaio would be as succesful as he has been without his incredible physcial ability and talent? No I don't. I also don't think he would be if that's all he had aswell.
I've never called him a mindless fighter, I've never called him a dumb fighter and I've never called him a brawler.
Just because a guy isn't a smart fighter with a very high Ring IQ, doesn't mean they're a "dumb brawler."
The rest of your post has nothing to do with anything I've said.
