reason why manny pacquiao declined

Long career, lots of punishment inside the ring, lots of physically hard hard training camps, countless rounds of hard sparring where he gets hit frequently, ect.


Its understandable that hes declining. Its actually shocking he lasted as long as he has.

 

To be honest, its hard to believe that theres people out there that think that Pac hasn't declined lol.


All this talk about 'he hasn't declined, hes just fought blah blah blah'


2008 and 2009 was quite obviously Pacs peak. Youre trying to tell me when he fought Marquez 2, and Miguel Cotto, that he only looked the way he did because Marquez and Cotto matched up well with him? And that Bradley would match Pac close enough that they could rob him, in 2008?

Sorry, but the 2008, 2009 Pac would have convincingly beaten Timothy Bradley... of this I have no doubt. I have seen decline in Pac since the Mosley fight, but it was the Bradley fight that shown the light that Pac has lost a step from 5 years ago. It would be a moral victory if Bradley lasted the distance with the Pac that fought Cotto.

Pac is a fighter that relies heavily on freakish athletic ability to overwhelm his opponents. Why many people (to be honest, many of those people are anti pac or have some sort of anti pac / pro Floyd agenda, trying to spin it as if the quality we have seen from pac has always been the status quo, and that he hasn't declined, but was 'found out' or 'exposed' by slick boxing.... which simply isn't the case.

Funny how people forget that Marquez and Pac fought in their primes, and that was their 2nd fight. That's about as close a fight as they have had, so this 'he just didn't face any technicians, counterpunchers, ect... until recently' is bull****.


How anyone thinks that after 60 plus fights, many tough training camps and tougher fights, that pac somehow has not declined through it all is baffling. His body and brain somehow defies physiology and hes as good and peak now as he was 5 years ago
