It's called age and non stop ring wars. Better question is where did his chin go. Or did Marquez sudenly turn into the incredible hulk.
?? The guy In saw actually looked pretty good up until he was KO'd. People are talking like he got dominated from the opening bell
Margarito fight sapped Manny of all his powers. Took the beating of 3 men & gave Manny the beating of 2 fights. That was a dumb fight to make.
Up until that point, he looked much better -- quicker, less hesitant, but his punches together. Good speed and power IMO. He was busting JMM up and at times looked better than he has in years. No signs of wear or tear except for getting clocked a couple of times, and recovered well from the first knockdown. But he was careless rushing in, got away with it a few times before the boom.
i think he has his speed and power. people always want to put the blame on anything other then the person responsible for what happen. pacman was fast and strong, he had those feints working well with his straight left and pacman was looking good. i had pac winning rds 1 and 2, then jmm winning the 3rd and back to manny winning 4, 5 and 6 until he was koed. pacman ran into a punch he never saw coming, it hapens in this sport. i think they will fight again and it will be another 50/50 fight. marquez was the problem for manny that night.
Manny looked very good in the fight, but he was fighting a great technical boxer who knows all of his tricks. His tendency to lunge in was going to catch up with him eventually, and it finally did against a guy with the ability to time him and take advantage of it. But his handspeed was clearly superior to Marquez and he managed to hurt him as well so his power is still there. Marquez is just the best fighter Manny has ever fought, and he proves it every time they get in the ring together.

His speed was there and power as well. In addition, he reintroduced his head movement yet again for this fight and came in looking and performing dominant. He was knocked down but came back to knock Marquez down and looked to be on the verge of stopping him. The fight itself was one-sided for Pacquiao who was clearly dominating, though Marquez' heart and iron will prevailed when he needed it most. There's nothing wrong with Pacquiao, if anything I still see him as the favorite going in the 5th fight. Give credit to Marquez' inhuman display of will and heart to withstand the attacks Pacquiao unleashed.
