People say Pacquaio is losing it, but is it more the styles than anything else?

The Same was Said about Jones Jr, and Roy is at a complete different skill level as Pacquiao (speed, power, reflexes, footwork, and all about better boxing technique), but once you lose by such a devastating Knock Out, you will not be the same. Pacquiao is no different. His weakness has been shown in his last few fights, and any smart fight will learn from the man who knocked him out! Well I guess we'll see in 4 months then

Nah I definatelly dont agree with this, Pacquaio can beat any fighter thats not a high level counter puncher with ease, doesnt matter how hard they hit, if they come forward with no skill trying to overpower Pacquaio, they are gonna get devastated The Same was Said about Jones Jr, and Roy is at a complete different skill level as Pacquiao (speed, power, reflexes, footwork, and all about better boxing technique), but once you lose by such a devastating Knock Out, you will not be the same.

lets be honest for a second here, bradley didn't give pacquiao any problems, at all...except for you know, sweeping the championship rounds by having Pac perfectly timed...

He's obviously slipping. He didn't look himself against Margarito either. That's when I first noticed it. Pac in his prime wouldn't have a problem chasing down someone running from him like Mosley did, and he wouldn't let someone that got hurt like Bradley last 12. Its a lot more than just "Poochiao getting exposed against boxers," which is what a large portion of this site wants to believe.

Unless you are completely in a day dream, Rios power is now a problem for Pacquiao. Once you get Knocked Out Cold, you are never the same; as I was saying with Roy Jones or if it was different Roy would still be atop and Pacquiao wouldn't be a thought in people's mind. For now on, it is Feather Fisted Fighters for Pacquiao! So you're telling me somebody walking up to Pac all day, open as a prostitutes legs paid millions of dollars, will KO Pac like Marg did?

With Rios coming in all day and telegraphing everything, I don't see Pac getting into too much trouble. Unless you are completely in a day dream, Rios power is now a problem for Pacquiao.

Rios Now, will hurt Pacquiao and possibly knock him out. Pacquiao is no where as great as a fighter as Roy Jones Jr, and most of us saw what happened to Jr, and any man with serious power is a dangerous for. And it will be the same for Pacquiao.

Bingo. Any come-forward style boxer really. Rios Now, will hurt Pacquiao and possibly knock him out. Pacquiao is no where as great as a fighter as Roy Jones Jr, and most of us saw what happened to Jr, and any man with serious power is a dangerous for. And it will be the same for Pacquiao.

It is Pacquiao's lack of skill/game change. He has been in too many wars, and has yet in a 60 or so Career hasn't changed anything dramatically wise of his style of fighting. Like Roy Jones Jr, a lack of game change in such a long career has left him open, and turned him fragile.

Pac lost his punching power when he left 130 and as an old fighter, he's now lost his speed and his legs too not to mention being in a bunch of violent fights Pac's there to be had now, he better retire and stay retired if he hangs around, he's gonna get fucked up

It's a bit of both....he obviously struggles with technical fighters but his style isn't good for longevity Too many wars If he was clever he would really take some time off now I know Pacquiao fans are making him out to be a hero for fighting so soon but it would do him any favours

put him in there with someone like Rios and he'll look unstoppable again Bingo. Any come-forward style boxer really.

Put him in there with Angulo?? Wow, do like seeing Pacman go to sleep in the middle of a fight??

It is a combination of his fading physical attributes as well as skillful matchmaking. I've always thought his run over 130 has been more a sideshow than anything else.

Manny's technique is a very simple one. Its probably the most easiest style to adopt. It was effective because he was stupendously fast. The speed is what changed hence the ability for the opponent now to counter. I expect to see him get KO'd again if he continues to fight.

its his style thats def causing him to lose it faster than someone like mayweather cause he just takes more damage in a fight besides the fact hes been in so many wars too which also is probably because of his style. but that style ages a fighter faster if thats what you mean

put him in there with someone like Rios and he'll look unstoppable again

Tuff hard fought fights, a pressure fighter (they burn out earlier than other styles), and 70 pro bouts fighting good competition through the weight classes! His career has NOT been a cake walk! Lots of tuff decisions to be made. Ray
