It's not just the ring intelligence, they both have completely different approaches...Mayweather is focused on protecting himself and counter punching...Broner is more focused on his offense and flashy combination punching...
Well this just shows how dumb you are then. Pacquiao has been the same 1 handed 1 dimensional fighter in the 6 fights since Cotto that he was before Cotto.nikkas still kicking this dumbshyt...
I thought this nonsense would be officially deaded after the Cotto fight...
pacquiao is faster than broner
pacquiao is a far more harder puncher than broner
pacquiao is a better combination puncher than broner
pacquiao has a better more tested chin than broner
pacquiao has a higher activity rate than broner
lol at ring generalship and more versatile...youre clearly throwing words out there to try to make a point and you prolly haven't seen a whole lot of broner and/or pacquiao fights..and pacquiao has power in both hands..look at the cotto fight as an example
defense is subjective...unless you're a great counterpuncher like jmm is you will have hard time hitting pacquiao because chances are you will get 3-4-5 hard punches back at you..if he had bad defense im sure the likes of morales, barrera, de la hoya, cotto, margarito, and hatton would have been easily been able to beat him..defense is more than just a philly shell..in case you didn't know this is broner's best win to date and its not saying much and by far it doesn't equal pacquiao's best wins..paulie put hands on him with speed alone and combined with activity made the fight close....if paulie didnt have bad hands broner would have been in trouble..there's nothing versatile about broner..he copies the philly shell, stands stationary, and walks you down
its been that way in all of his fights since his hbo debut....user who utilizes the philly shell must be flexible with it...broner is far too stationary and gets hit way too much with it...this was exposed in his fight on HBO against ponce de leon which im sure since you watch boxing you've seen that fight and/or who who he is..and he got a gift because of that..since that fight they've kept him away from known punchers who can expose that particular weakness....at 147 he better pray that he doesn't fight anybody with pop who he can't walk down and there are some fighters at 147 other than pacquiao that fit the bill
I'm glad that you edited that "check my coli respect" shyt out.
The ability to take a punch is not a skill. A fighter's chin has nothing to do with how skilled he is. Neither does activity rate. It's starting to become clear that you don't really know what boxing skills are. Boxing skills are the kind of things that I listed previously such as the jab, defense, the ability to punch with both hands, ring generalship, the ability to adapt/adjust, versatility in attack, ect. Speed, power, and chin are natural physical gifts for the most part. They aren't skills.
Broner spent the whole time lookin' at Paulie like
Well this just shows how dumb you are then. Pacquiao has been the same 1 handed 1 dimensional fighter in the 6 fights since Cotto that he was before Cotto.
Speed isn't a skill. Just for the record, I don't necessarily agree that Pacquiao is faster than Broner. Even if he is, the difference is negligible.
Power isn't a skill either
Pacquiao supposedly being a better combination puncher isn't about skill either. He throws more combinations than Broner does because Broner's style is more defensive. Pacquiao throwing more combos doesn't automatically make him a better combo puncher. Again, Pacquiao's style is 1 dimensional and predictable for the most part. He paws with the jab to set up the big left.
Miss me with the bytchmade discredit tactics. If you want to know what I have and haven't seen then ask. You sound like a fukking idiot, yet you're up here trying to discredit me because you don't agree
Yes, Broner has more ring generalship and is more versatile than Pacquiao. Broner's ability to walk his opponents down alone gives him the edge in this category because Pacquiao can't do it. Pacquiao's inability to cut off the ring very well is why he didn't finish guys like Mosley, Clottey, and Marquez. It's the reason that Cotto made it to the 12th. As far as Pacquiao having power in both hands, other than the Cotto fight when has Pacquiao displayed this on a consistent basis? Where was the right hand against Marquez, Bradley, Mosley? Pacquiao is basically a 1 handed fighter and this is common knowledge. Broner has severeal different ways of attack. He can attack leading with the jab, right hand lead, and left to the head or body. He can even switch from conventional to southpaw just to give a different look. Pacquiao doesn't do any of that. Pacquiao pretty much attacks the same way all of the time. He darts in and out pawing with the jab to set up the big left.
What do you mean saying defense is subjective? Defense is the ability to not get hit. Pacquiao has been touched up by just about everyone that he's faced except Hatton, not just Marquez. Clottey touched him up and he was barely throwing. Margarito touched him up even though he's a walking mummy/punching bag. Cotto touched him up, and so did Bradley. Pacquiao has never been hard to hit. It's like you said, his offense is his best defense. His defensive skill in and of itself is subpar. Broner's defense isn't elite yet either, but it's better than Pacquiao's.
You're sounding like a Broner hater who's just cheerleading for Pacquiao here on the strength of that. Save all the Broner hate, I'm just stating the obvious. I didn't say that Broner was a better fighter(that's yet to be determined), I said that he's more skilled. As far as him being exposed by Matthysse, I'd take that bet all day. Matthysse is becoming the next Pacquiao the way that people are overrating him. Broner would expose him, not the other way around.
I agree that Pacquiao has done a great job of using his tools to become a good fighter. (Juicing suspicions aside) Pacquiao's speed, power, awkward and explosiveness has covered up holes in his fight game for the most part. Arum deserves credit for his matchmaking and public manipulation skills as well. His boxing skills are still limited and he's rather undisciplined in the ring a lot of times though. That's why he jumped into that Marquez right hand.
Fair enough...that at least supports the idea that dude was throwing punches like a mad man at Broner to no avail
