That's a very convenient time for a fighter to lose "half a step" after what seemed to most as such a good performance. He's on top of his game one fight and not so much up there for the next.. ? Right. That's exactly what happened. :roll: I do believe Pacquiao has slowed down, but only as much as a fighter of his caliber would with age. One would even argue he's becoming bored of the sport. But for his age, weight class and style, Pacman still has the same abilities he's always had. Experience is also huge. I don't ever see anyone mentioning the gain in experience. That's a big factor. Both Manny and Floyd have both slowed down, but only to reasonable levels under both their circumstances. Neither would be at a disadvantage with their abilities if they were to fight tomorrow night. Quit writing them off and giving excuses for your fighter if he should lose. Don't admit defeat for them.
