    I don't think a major factor. Floyd And Manny needed each other in order to be as big as they were. They're are still plenty of great fights for him, but in the mainstream media he's almost nothing anymore

    He seems to have faded into Bolivian

    Yea, definitely still a factor without a doubt. H2h, look what he did to Algeri and recently Algeri showed he'd give anyone a run for their money, he proved Khan is no elite. If Manny truly WAS injured in the Mayweather fight, he actually didn't do too bad. Even on his best day I never believed he'd beat Mayweather, but I did think he'd have the speed and awkwardness to test him and he did, but his power didn't bother Floyd too much. There were several opportunities Floyd even invited Manny to infight, Manny threw flashy combos, but no real power behind it, not like Maidana at least. I think Pacquiao just never knew how to adapt against elite counterpunchers like Floyd or Jmm. He's used to overwhelming his opponents, not the other way around.

    JMM ruined him. It was proven in the Mayweather fight. He was gun shy for the first time ever, that I can remember. He obviously did not want to eat another counter right.
