    PacMan fans will dig this one... Pac Man at 16 years old I believe and he throws a huge left that catches his opponent right on the bean... WOW!!! :D

    and because who doesn't love a good training vid clip...

    Here is PacMan many years later training up for a rematch after his loss against Morales. Just take a look at his handspeed. Unreal. Just unreal. :eek:

    The second clip was killer. Pacquiao has the handspeed that makes pros cry.

    Yeah I've been making a total ass of myself today after watching that... walking around the flat pretending to be Pacquiao with that kind of hand speed. :D

    My girlfriend thinks I've completely lost it. :p

    It's taken her this long to realise that?! :eek: :D

    Awesome videos, his hands are just like a blur!

    What makes it all the more amazing is that he can actually apply that handspeed in a real fight - like when he tore apart Morales' body in their rematch.

    I sometimes feel he's a little too loose with his hands, but that's just me and a discussion for another thread.

    it's interesting to watch the difference between his left & right hand throughout that training footage

    what I really noticed is that he doesn't turn his heel out much when he punches... his punches seem to come alot from the shoulder? Is it just me that thinks that?!

    I love the left jab, left uppercut business. Wow! :eek:

    Yeah... a lot of Asian fighters use arm punches instead of body punches - it's by sheer speed and power alone that they still possess the KO ability. I should know... I used to be one. :eek:

    I love that first clip. Totally unprepared, he just drops him with a big left, right on the snout.

    Imagine what its like to take somebody like Pacquiao on the pads.

    I think this pretty much backs up my point on "YES you are too old to start boxing and get anywhere descent."
    Too many 18 year olds think if they jump in the ring and work hard for a bit theyre going to be the next Muhammad Ali. But how is that possible, when theres people like this about who, at 16, could probably whoop the socks off people twice there age.

    I'm afraid I have to agree with NK. Over 30 is too old to start competitively IF you wanted Worldwide fame. But you could still be good, very good if your naturally talented. But 18?! Come on man, I didnt start MA til I was 20, and Im more than decent at it already.

    good stuff.

    Even early on like in this video, you can see how progressive Manny Pacquiao was. His footwork, timing is very very good. wow.
