    There are 2 main reasons for his consecutive loss but which one is the real reason?

    Everybody knows, standing in front of, and trading with Pacquiao isn't a good idea. Thats where Pac puts on his best performances. Bradley and Marquez use lateral movement and outbox Pac. So it pretty much comes down to style make fights

    I believe its a combination of tge two, I don't think he has declined to the point that many say he has but its pretty evident he isnt the same as in 09 but that aint his fault its just the way things go

    lack of focus.. he has too much stuffs going on.. he needs to be a full time boxer if he wants to make a successful comeback.

    Most of his prime is based on clever match making. He fought fighter coming from big defeats.

    Margarito
    Clottey
    Cotto
    Hatton
    Mosely from a draw against sergio mora

    Funny how Pacquiao loses focus everytime he faces Marquez.
    Thats 4 times now in three different weight classes, spanning over 8 years that Pacquiao cant get focused for Marquez! :nut

    Roach and Pac has made an illusion that Pac is small thus tempting his opponent to try and muscle him up. This in turn gives Pac the advantage because he wants to brawl.

    Well with pacquiaos style losses is bound to happen.
    Don't get me wrong he's a great fighter but his style isn't exactly optimal.

    He actually beat Bradley in my eyes, so I dont count that. He got caught by a shot by an elite fighter while winning the fight. I dont think he has anything to be ashamed of in these last 2 fights and he has had an incredible career

    Bradley didn't beat him. But Morales and Marquez knew what to do.

    bradley fight he got robbed
    marquez fight he got caught

    **** happens its boxing, i think he might be 3 or 4 on the p4p list now. i think he will make a comeback and get back to his winning ways by hook or by crook.
