    I never said he was a shot fighter, but he was once a special fighter and no longer is. That's a fact.

    Floyd ain't exactly prime, either. He's just deteriorated far less than Pacquiao, and was always a much better fighter to begin with.

    If Pacquiao's footwork/speed is gone and he has deteriorated massively then he is basically shot.

    His footwork did look horrible against Floyd, I agree. I thought it had more to do with him coming in way too heavy. I thought his footwork/speed could've appeared better- not prime- but better.

    Well his footwork has never been good. His foot speed was once excellent.

    Floud should fight someone his size for 50-0 so he can go out with a KO. He weighs between 148-150 so he should fight a lightweight or junior welter like Omar Figueroa or Danny Garcia

    His foot speed looked bad. He usually would have an in and out footwork, bouncy, almost like a dance. He was too in front of Floyd. Just sitting there to be hit. Gosh, he looked so bad. he didn't even look like himself. ugh

    the result was due to mayweathers style. Mayweather doesnt stand still and allow manny to dart in and out.

    A lot of people do. He looked fine against Algieri. Is he as fast as he once was? Absolutely not. But I think I would still pick him against any other Welter.
