    Manny was knocking out fighters like Ricky Hatton who were running in with their hands down and chin up.

    Fighters are now much more aware of Mannys power and don't try and walk him down.

    Algieri was downed 6 times.
    6 freaking times.

    But hey, he was never let out of his cage, so you could be onto something here.:think

    A critical factor in determining the outcome of the bout. Who knows what would have happened if the cage doors were opened....

    after the cotto fight...pac's killer instinct was gone....

    after pac won, its like he has nothing to prove anymore and just relied on scoring points to win rather than destroy opponents....

    pac would have stopped margarito if he wanted to but instead carried him to a decision...he would have stopped algieri too but pac "the destroyer" doesnt exist anymore.....
