Why did MANNY start declining after the steroid accusations ?

[FirePunch]

lil man was on a roll KNOCKED OUT DIAZ , Stopped delahoya , Put hatton to sleep and knocked out cotto .

Then came the steroid accusations and the hoopla in the media about peds which around the time freddie and ariza furiously battled the media .
Since then we have seen a decline in pacman .

No power was shown vs clottey
Since that HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUSS was made mannys punching power practically vanished and he seemed more human .

you think manny would cheat ?

[Larry the boss]

he did break margo's face now

[ИATAS]

uggh maybe the guys he's fighting are tough to KO?

Clottey - never been KO'd, turtle shell defense entire fight.
Margarito - Should have been stopped by ref/corner, but another iron chin guy (only mosley has truly stopped him)
Marquez - never been KO'd before, very good counter puncher.

It's not rocket science man. Pac is fighting bigger and better opponents. Ricky Hatton & Diaz are smaller and are there to be hit. Easy work for pac.

True but he was also hurt in that fight .

I remember lil manny going toe to toe with cotto just shaking off body shots .

How much more did Margarito weigh than Pacquiao?

It was almost as if Pacquiao was some small fighter fighting a big fighter!

[Russian Crushin]

Facing 4 fighters with steal china?

I made a killing betting on PAC not knocking out the last 4 guys betting

[tomhawq]

declining?

if your opponents just show up in the ring, fight not to win but to survive, run for their lives, cover themselves with brick walls, fight backwards, i'll be stupid to expect anything impressive.

hopefully, bradley would really fight to win so we can see the old pacman back.

Not just the knockouts overall performances were worse too .

Clottey - had a bad night
margarito - too big
Mosely - hurt leg
Marquez- distractions.

also cotto , delahoya >>> clottey , marg

Pac could have stopped him. Margarito was on queer street ever since pacquiao landed that right hook in the 10th round (i still remember it lol) but pacquiao knew he had to kill him to stop him because he wouldnt quit no matter what, and pacquiao didnt want to kill him.

[thuggery]

pac would cheat, he's guilible and combined that with a guy like Arum...

Tbh it was probably Ariza or Roach who though of it though
