Manny Pacquiao is generally regarded as the world’s second best pound -4 pound fighter next two of course Floyd Mayweather Jr. The 27 year old “Pac-Man” is a monster of a Jr. Lightweight that is being compared to all-time great fighters since his destruction of Marco Antonio Barrera in 2004 via 11th round KO. On Saturday night Manny will get a chance to flatten his Mexican foe yet again when they fight in a rematch. International mega sportsbook Bodog has Manny Pacquiao as a -325 odds favorite.
Pacquiao, 44-3-2, 35 KO’s, is a rare fighter that has a blend of bone rattling power and blinding handspeed out of his southpaw stance. The scary thing about Pacquiao is that his speed and power are not even his best assets. The “Pac-Man” fights with a primitive and tireless aggression that can cause his opponents heart to fight dissipate. In the gym Pacquiao is an animal that has unnatural strength and endurance.
Because of his extremely aggressive style Manny can be hit cleanly coming in. Pacquiao’s defense and footwork have improved under trainer Fred Roach’s tutelage but he can still be outboxed by smarter fighters. In his native the Phillippines the “Pac-Man” has achieved celebrity status and has been dubbed a wild man outside of the ring. Because of his constant distractions outside the ropes Manny sometimes can enter the ring at less than 100% focus.
