    People here clearly don't know what causes cramps...

    The main cause in most sports is simply Over-exertion of the muscles.

    Dehydration is a possible factor within boxing due to weigh limits
    Bad nutrition

    Over training...

    All of these factors most likely play a role with Manny

    Manny does a crap load of Roadwork
    It works the muscle (the same muscle) in a different way though... so it doesn't help.

    Manny needs to cut the roadwork on them mahooosive calves and find other ways to work his Cardio.
    Them legs are getting old.

    his style is dependent on them legs and his fitness.
    His decline will be much sharper than Mayweathers simply due to the styles they both hold.

    Honestly them cramps are going to be a consistent problem for Manny from now on...
    Even with different training techniques Better nutrition and hydration he still will get them..Becoming an old dude. them legs have been working none stop fro 10+ years and they are giving out finally not much he can do but pick a good time to retire within the next 18 months or less.

    i think pacquiao's getting them probably due to age and he uses his legs so much. He fights on his toes all the time , thats why his calves are so big. This wasnt a problem before but hes getting older / less athletic now .
