    I pointed it out on someone else's thread where they mentioned how he looked to be declining. I agree he lacked the feints and combo punches to the stomach than to the head. As well as the bouncing in and out and wasn't able to pull the trigger in time. He was flat footed for large parts in the fight. He looked pretty poor imo, though he still did enough to win the fight clearly.

    Thank you. His decline is being exaggerated.

    not at all. against Oscar he was hardly flat footed and was darting in and out constantly. In distance, landing, bouncing away out of range.

    Nothing could be farther from the truth!

    Against Oscar, he was moving all the time. He was bobbing and weaving and moving side to side. He was always the first one to throw the punch as well.

    Against Bradley, total opposite. When Bradley threw a punch, Pac would just stay put and put the guard up. If he did that against Oscar, he would have been in trouble.

    This is so obvious but not surprised that *******s can't see this.

    Put Pac in with a washed up or stationary fighter and you'll see how
    quickly he reverts to Pacmonster of old.

    This version of Pacquiao would have annihilated Bradly.

    How did fight like he did against Oscar? :patsch Those two fights are nothing alike. Oscar was a completely different fight, Oscar was pressing the action most of the fight, Pacquiao was using a ton of lateral / in and out movement / feints , 3-4-5-6-7 punch combinations. Not even in the same ballpark.

    Maybe I'm wrong but I think the biggest difference is his heart is not in it is much. Obviously he isn't the same fighter but I think a lot of the difference is mental.
