When Pacquiao performs crap, but still beats a hungry lion...What does that say??

    Manny didn't fight as well as he could during that fight, taking breaks and slowing down. He didn't fight that well, but he still managed to dominate (putting aside the scorecards) a young, hungry lion in Timothy Bradley. Pacquiao's got all these commitments, yet he still comes out in these big fights and puts on a show. Before the fight there was a lot of people doubting the Pacman, but he showed that even though he's aging, he's still able to teach the young guns a few lessons in boxing.

    If Pacquiao isn't 100%, yet still dominates a hungry, young fighter, what can he do when he's 100% focused? He's not a fighter who's going to hide behind his defence the whole match, he's actually going to come out and go toe to toe with you, even at the age he's at, with the amount of fights he's had.

    How can anyone doubt Pacquiao's ability??

    Pacquiao is getting worse with each performance. Time to quit.

    He's a warrior, always has been. Boxing will miss him when he's gone, and realize how unappreciated he was. Even these haters are going to secretly miss the dude.

    i thought manny did his best, he stopped throwing when he was tired or was defending attacks from bradley. it did not look that the manny you are use to because of the type of fighter he was fighting, just like in his last fight before that one. let him fight a margarito or hatton style fighter and you will see the manny you are use to seeing. there are a few fighters at 147 that will show you a more cautions, confused at times maybe even hurt manny version.

    if the current pac did this to a prime, confident and undefeated champ in the caliber of bradley, what would the pac of 2009, who beast cotto, might have done?
