    Pac's last best performance is really the Hatton fight.

    After that, I noticed a decline in his stamina. Yes you are right, he appears to have taken long and frequent breathers.

    He also seems to have lost his killer instinct since the Diaz fight. Against Hatton, it was good that he KOd him early. But against all the rest (DLH, Cotto, Clottey, Margo and Mosley), Pac was just content on following the guy around the right and throw 1-2. With the exceptionof the CLottey fight, gone were the days when Pac would throw 6 punch combos one after the other. See the Barrera and Morales fights and Pac's earlier fights with Ledawaba, etc.

    I have no dout that Pac is a bit off his prime at this point. We might see another great performance from him at some point but expect to see him generally on the decline hereon.

    Anytime pac doesnt knock someone out or beat the livijn **** out of them , ppl make it out to be a bad performance. He outboxed mosley .. and keep in mind he had a serious reach disadvantage, and its not easy to close in when the other guy is moving away the whole fight.

    You honestly don't know the reason? Against Mayweather, Mosley was still confident and seen as a threat and came into the fight thinking he could win with his power. So he came forward looking to land hard shots. Against Pacman, he lost before he stepped in the ring. No intention of coming forward. Not taking chances. If Mosley had come forward, he would've gotten KOed. And even he knows this.

    I don't think I have heard anything so nutty. legs have gone ?
    Protected from what slick fighters ? I'm sure you been saying he was gonna lose from ODLH to Shane at least 2x or more. Sounds like you have the worst read on him I have ever heard.
