    He's been slowing down but people are overreacting.

    Pacquiao's name has been on the map for 14 years since his Sasakul win. It shouldn't come as any surprise that he's in an athletic decline.

    Put him in with another cherrypicked weightdrained rehydration clause flatfooted face first brawler who was just KO'ed in his previous fight and he will look like a million bucks again, ANY movement will give him fits, he cannot adapt or change midfight and has the Ring IQ of a housemouse.

    Pac has NEVER improved.......thats why he was so brilliantly marketed, but that gig is up now......he has run out of Arum/Roach washed up or never were housefighters.

    I sure hope he grows some balls and fights FMJ, that will be a epic beatdown for the one trick pony.

    BTW, FMJ would beat Pac at ANY time at ANY weight in their respective career.

    Only pacquaio is allowed to show signs of age, no one else in boxing gets old. Floyd still in his prime.

    This thread/chart is so bull****. What are you to make of the time when Pac fought Marquez back in 2008??? Pac was NOT dominant and did NOT throw over a thousand punches in that fight. Does that mean he was past his best back then? Of course not. He went on to destroy Diaz, DLH, Hatton, etc. because they couldn't move and think like Marquez.

    Whether Pac looks good or not has A LOT to do with whom he's fighting. He has slowed down a bit but nowhere near the level of a shot to **** fighter like Roy Jones or Shane Mosley. JMM beat Pac in their last fight. It had everything to do with Juan's skills and not because MP had lost a step.
