I dont think Manny was Ko artist like Foreman or tyson or tito I always felt his knock downs he scored were because of his speed his angles and awkwardness Hatton was knocked out cold because he came in hands down chin not tucked walking in by punch he did not see coming Cotto i also was beat by mannys speed a accumulation of punches the knockds manny scored was because cotto was caught off balance with punches he did not see another thing they way manny fights of course he was going to burn out faster than floyd Joe frazier was nowhere near the level he was at 35 Henry armstrong hagler was good at 33 but he was not the same fighter And other greats and so on and so on It is not a shock that manny is not as good as he once was I watched both fights of his last week of him vs morales 2 and 3 Manny does have higher boxing IQ now and is more more refined in some of his technique But Manny was so much faster back then and had better reflexes But he was in his 20s People thought that would last forever? Fighters dont stay in there prime forever this is real life
a bro dont post on my threads from a few of your post I can tell you never boxed in your life or know about boxing. Dont post on my stuff
After that KO LOSS to Marquez, the boxing world was already saying Pacquiao should retire and will never come back to compete in the Elite Level. Now at age 35, Pacquiao defeats the dangerous and powerful Rios and defeated the top p4p, prime Bradley. Manny Pacquiao is now the WBO 147 Champion. Real champions come back and learns from their mistakes. :deal
He did learn from his mistakes but he is no longer in his prime It blows my mind when there like why is he not blazing fast anymore or knocking out people WHY?????? im like he is 35
people expect to stop his opponents or tko win, well what they don't know is that Pacquiao is a Boxer/Puncher now where he will try to be more cautious and depending on his opponents too. He can't always go for that KO Win. Pac is past his prime but still an elite fighter.
Yeah he is Nobody beats father time for to long Really the samller guys. thats why floyd should fight two three more times because it will hit him soon to
Can't really compare Pacquiao to Mayweather which Pacquiao has 63 FIGHTS and has been in wars and with his fighting style. Unlike Mayweather with only 45 fights and taking breaks in between and also his fighting style.
In fairness I think he deserves some recognition for changing his style slightly and developing some ring IQ to compensate for his slight/gradual physical decline. He responded well to the JMM KO loss.
