Pacman is a spent force even close to being shot.. no great speed or work rate now...

    All PAC really has left his his straight left and that's about it, his power, high work rate, great speed, killer combos all but gone now...

    He should retire..

    No his speed is still there, not as fast as before but still enough to catch people off guard.

    It's his killer instinct and aggression that's taken a hit. My theory is that it's age + the JMM KO mentally affected him.

    It's not the JMM KO AT ALL. People forget we were all saying Pacquiao hadn't looked as good and aggressive as in the JMM fight for a while before he was KO'd.

    it's still remarkable he's been doing it at this level for over a decade now, considering his style

    if floyd had done to bradley what manny did tonight *****s would be going on about how great floyd was in outboxing the #3 p4p fighter in the world. you just cant win with these people. I thought manny looked great tonight. he paced himself and didnt go in there just throwing punches. he waited for openings and attacked but didnt leave himself open to counters. he did a great job of ad******g to bradleys right hand which caught him a few times early.

    He just beat a top WW in his prime and you're calling him to reitre? Is it because pac didn't stop him? you're putting pac in a very high pedestal then because Bradley is a hard mother****er to put out.

    Pac could still beat any WW today at any given night.

    he is about 60% of what he used to be but he still beat an undefeated, top p4p fighter in his very prime. pac can no longer sustain his workrate just like before so he has to box more and fight more intelligently.

    I saw a man who couldn't pull the trigger anymore. He should retire on a good win. I thought bradley gave him the fight, maybe he was just too tired.. it looked like tims gameplan was to go out and ko manny, probabaly felt he had no chance on the cards. I think tim was in there and thought i can't beat this guy CLEARLY so ima just try ko him but he gassed out around rd 7

    Pac would beat Void, that's why Void refuses to fight him. If Pac were an easy fight for Void the fight would have happened years ago.......

    People rag on constantly about Pacquiao not stopping anyone…. wtf was the last time Mayweather had a proper stoppage? None since coming out of retirement. (unless you count Ortiz).

    Let's face it he looked like ****, this was not the man who ruthlessly laid out Hatton like he was brushing some dust off his shoulder

    exactly. executed the game plan. Roach knows that Tim can't handle manny's boxing ability. It was essentially the same fight as the first one. Bradley is no slouch. he's a really good fighter. just not on Manny's level.
