He was back to moving in a straight line, right right left Manny. He is past his prime I feel he only has about 2 fights left in him, top rank wore him out, no other fighter at that level fights that much, and so closely these days.
Without a shadow of a doubt. Against DLH, the guy is literally walking on water. Even against Cotto. But against Mosley, i just saw spurts of it. But you're wrong about his weight. He has pretty much weighed the same for years on fight night. The only difference is that he doesn't have to lose any weight. The difference from De la Hoya to now is about 2 lbs.
Agreed. I don't think he's going to blow JMM away. JMM is way too crafty for that. He'll get in his share of flush counter shots.
Another user said that when a boxer moves up to a new division your body isnt adjusted at all and he will still have speed from the lower weight and less power, once he settles in the division his body will adjust and he will be slower yet have more power. I dont know if its true but it seems logical in pacs case. Pac vs de la hoya, hatton and cotto is the best ive seen him. i thought it was the trainingcamps and lack of motivation why he looked slightly slower vs clottey and margarito, but he had a great camp for mosley and looked like this, eventhough he easily won, him losing a step seems to be the case for me.
Good point. What do you think of the handspeed? It definitely looks slower as well. Those lightning quick combinations don't look so freakishly fast anymore...although calling him fast would still be an understatement.
Hard to say on the hand speed because Mosley didn't really engage so we really didn't see Pacquiao letting it loose. But i'm sure the die hard Pacquiao fans will have some answers.
He's getting older, so of course he's gonna lose a step or two. There's nothing you can do about it. On the flipside, I think he's stronger then he's ever been, and he's still a beast.
I really am over it, but it makes business sense to eventually happen, there is too much money involved. I think by the point it might happen both are past prime/shot. there is no value then. Also I dont mind if it doesnt get made, 2010 was the year it should have happened.
GUYZ COM ON! its time 2 fase realty he was jusd never really dat good 2 begin wit. first time he wit someone who can move and he couldent do much. wut u think else gonna happen when he face someone young like Martinez? OH he woudnt! thanks roach! DA JOKE COACH!
