    He was running on the treadmill to warm up his legs before the Bradley fight, then he gasses late in the fight. Pac hasn't been known as a fighter who gasses often late, what should his approach be for future fights :think

    fwiw, i had the fight 7-5 edge to pac

    Walk away from his political career until his boxing career is over. He seems to be more in love with politics than boxing these days. Nacho Beristain told the media that Pacquiao would lose in III due to being too busy with other stuff.

    during the last 3rd of the fight his legs werent there, he was sluggish and not as quick

    now maybe its his age and his focus or maybe its just Bradley finally gave him educated foot movement and used range intelligently and forced Manny to fight in ways that exhausted him

    though the treadmill thing was bizarre

    There's nothing he can do. He's someone whose game has always been based on high intensity and workrate. And seeing as though he's applied that approach in around 60 or so fights and countless wars over a career spanning almost 20 years, it's a miracle his legs hadn't slowed down sooner. With his greatests assets deserting him, he should just retire while he's on top.

    Wasn't that bizarre - Pacquiao took Bradley lightly. Came in at 147 looking unimpressive and watched a basketball game before deciding to loosen up.

    Dude, arum told PAC to "chill out", during the later rounds, it's all a big act, to get Bradley as te next cash cow, which horribly failed

    That's the price now for his "prized" legs. They may have been assets when he was younger. Now, they are just tree stumps.

    He's done.

    He has stamina issues. He normally just crashes you with a fast paced onslaught as opposed to fighters who breaks their opponents down in a slower pace. I think Pacquiao lost a step and need to change his approach to save energy.

    He's a declined fighter who now fights in bursts he can't sustain over the course of 12 rounds. He doesn't have the style of a Hopkins, who reinvented himself around 2003 when his legs went. I'd hate to see Manny get battered and stop by someone inferior to him, as has happened repeatedly with Roy Jones. :(

    Doesn't he have the worst attendance record of all congressmen in the Philippines? He's not a real politician, don't kid yourself. The other stuff is drinking, gambling and chasing tail.

    Pac dont know **** about politics... Some politicians were laughing behind his back. Cant blame them, Manny is an idiot.

    Only in the Philippine were a biggest idiot like Manny can become a poilitician.

    who knows.. maybe someday philippine would be the first country to elect a first Idiot President
    in the history.
