    he does look somewhat slower but that's understandable in these higher weights. but he's still faster than any other jrWW/WW out there.

    i think he had a **** training camp, too many distractions. I mean you can cram in a high octane training camp in the last few weeks but it's not as good as a fully focused training camp like he's had in the past. It's like he's lost some of his passion for the sport. Also, he's 32 years old, so that's a factor.

    I think he looked slow against cotto, all he did was lay in the ropes while cotto fired away. He won the fight easily thanks to his power but i think he's slowing down. That's why i dont blame him for fighting old guys as well, no need to fight the young guns.

    :hat

    I think Pac slowing down is an illussion. If anything, he looks softer and not as well cut, which adds to the illusion that he is slowing down. If you watch the Margarito fight again, you'll notice Pac was as fast as ever. To me, he did look slightly slower against Clottey. Maybe he climbed the ring at a higher weight.

    It's logical that he will look slow fighting a slower fighter in Margo.

    usually, you look faster fighting a slower fighter, because perception is often relative.

    IF and thats a big IF pac-floyd fight happens... pac would probably train 8 full weeks in wild card and we might see the pac that fought oscar! pac was highly motivated and focus on the oscar fight.

    Pac would knock Void out for sure! Void is still in hiding and probably has beaten up another woman!

    usually you will fight to the level of ur opponent or a little above, pac would fight slower vs slow fighters and fight faster vs faster fighters, happens alot.

    I thought Marg was one of his best peformances he looked just as fast and proved his power at the high weights is for real

    I think you are delusional. Pacquiao looked very fast against Margarito, and it is complete fantasy to say he looked soft in the middle, he didn't at all. I have no idea where you're coming from... :nut:nut:nut
