    I'm basing this on more than the Marquez fight. I don't think he'll ever regain the form he had for Morales II (and arguably III, but it's tough to say in that one).

    At any rate, if Manny never wins another fight, his legacy is cemented. I just hope he doesn't go on too long.

    yep. pac has lost a noticeable amount of his speed (foot and hand) and his volume punching. @126, he was continuously throwing punches doing 4, 5, or even 6 punch combos. now, he's doing 3-punch combos at best and fighting in spurts. coming in the mid-140s while trying to make 130 has started to become very detrimental to him.

    let's see if moving up to 135 will somewhat postpone this slide. but i think his heavier fighting weight has already had a permanent effect on his speed and volume punching. the power though may still be there.
