clearly he is showing signs of aging but that graph is not the support to show so....you can clearly see the punch numbers are up against punching bags per se while the boxers/movers dropped his numbers which i think is the real reson his numbers dropped rather than him slowing.

 

He was dead ****in tired at the end of the Bradley fight. Maybe he really is off the roids lol

 

He cant no longer fight three minutes of every round like he used to.

For me he should rematch Bradley and then retire.

 

pacman clearly lost steam during rounds 10-12 against bradley. Vintage pac wouldve kept the pressure on until the very last bell and would still have enough energy to bounce around the ring after the entire fight......

 

More than likely that's it.

 

it's obvious that Pac can't go on forever with his explosive style, speed and reflexes are the first attributes to diminish in a fighter

Pac looked less explosive, took more time off in all the rounds, but he still clearly beat Bradley, anyone who thinks otherwise is a ******

 

No ****. Thats what happens. We get old man

Winning 10-2 shows how old he iz getting

 

if he fought clottey he throw over 1000 punches again IMO.

Its a style thing. you don't throw as many when your getting countered.

But still i think he's looking older and slower anyway. the differenca in speed between mann in the Diaz, delahoya and haton fights, compared to now is very noticeable

 

U can't use the Clottey and Margarito fights as examples as they both just stand there and do nothin, even Mosley looked good against Margarito because u can hit him with any punch u want

 

is he getting old or just fighting guys who can actually deal with his style

the slower less mobile 147 guys couldnt cope with Manny's speed and foot work and angles

then a 135 and a 140 guy move up are smaller lighter guys used to fighting smaller lighter opponents and actually know how to use their own feet and off set a guy who is fast and suddenly Manny is struggling

Yes i admit Manny is older and slowing down and maybe his heart or focus isnt in boxing as much anymore

but Manny looked bad in that fight slower, less moving, less punching, and was in first gear in the last half of the fight

some of it is age and some of it is that he isnt fighting tailor made guys anymore

he looks great with guys who present him little problems but when he is in a real fight the problems come out and thats why he was tired at the end

nobodys pushed him like that in a while

Marquez 3 was a little bit of a boxing lesson but Marquez didnt pressure him like Bradley did

 

cant throw 100 punches a round against someone who isnt standing there like a punching bag

 

Fighters with Pacs style have a limited shelf life, its expected.

 

Clottey, Margarito and Mosley were tailor made for him. Against fighters who can move and create angles Pacquiao is less effective - that is what that graph shows.

 

Pacquiao's conditioning is an issue. That can still be corrected if he fights at a slower methodical pace as opposed to taking minutes off. That played a role in his loss. Other than that, Pacquiao's slowing down because of Pacquaio, the huge celebrity, not so much with age.
