Quite possibly correct, but even older and less mobile than Pac 2009, he's still a terrible stylistic matchup for just about anyone not named Marquez. Other in-and-out boxers at this stage in their career had suffered far greater loss in their sense of ring space and timing, look at Roy Jones for example. Pac's form might not be as sublime as in younger days, but it's still at such a high level that it's worthy of admiration. For now at least, I would think a cautious post-KO approach to the Rios fight accounts for much of the perception that he's faded dramatically.
I just dont believe how people are praising Manny for this win, its ok win after loss and everything but what did you expect, guy that managed to win 2 rounds against Abril was supose to be measuring stick for ATG fighter like Pac. c'mon guys...
