It has been 5 years since the infamous KO of Hatton and the beginning of the train of Pacman fans. The question is, where has this power gone? was Rios as good as Hatton? Was Bradley as strong as Morales?
Also what gets to me, the fact people were quick to jump conclusion that Angulo dove on command in the Canelo fight but where are the reaction to the pitiful game by Bradley and the fact that it had seemed he had found his technique in the Marquez fight....
I'm not making any accusations but it is quite strange. I'm far from a nut hugger of Pacmans and seems strange to me. Did Bradley take a dive?
Pac's power is still there Jesus Christ people. It's just that his opponents know not to be stupid in there with him. Rios, Clottey, Mosley fought to survive and even then those dudes are hard to stop anyway. And to me pac has never been a Tyson like puncher. He stops guys via accumulation and speed but when guys are very defensive it's hard to accumulate and catch them with something they don't see.
It's not like pac is fighting scrubs off the street. It's crazy that when pac does not stop everyone it's because he is shot or exposed. People here really don't know squat about boxing.
I understand Pac's lack of power... but why would Bradley who has maybe 10+ KO'S but yet chooses to with a game plan of knocking an opponent out.
People where very quick to call a dive with Canelo but why not with this fight. Why is Bradley not going to go with the game plan that helped him beat the other man's rival.
I'm not calling this fight a dive from Bradley but let's say I see a pool with Fat a$$ Arm sitting inside playing polo...
Because Bradley like a lot of Floyd fans really believe that manny is done and that his chin is no longer the same so Bradley went for the kill only to find out that it was all just an illusion.
age is a funny this you know :rolleyes:
Did age affect Formans power? What about Duran, in his old age he still showed damn good power?
I'm not saying he was doing something fishy, but age has nothing to do with it.... my 50 year old father can still hit like a cannon but Pacman seems to a have either lost his power (which can look bad in many circumstances) or his desire to knock someone out is no longer there.
here we go again idiots pressuring a KO from Manny, why not pressure f*ck!n Floyd to Gatti his opponents? huh?! discrediting Pac's win again? If Pac's power is gone, why can't Floyd call Pac to make the fight happen so he could Gatti him
Pacquiao knew once Floyd mentioned the Olympic Style drug tests he had to stop juicing. He was scared he could just be tested anytime and so his power went with the roids. The way he battered and finished Margarito's career and Cotto would not just disappear over night.

Accept defeat for the second time like a man. You make urself look stupid right now. That was Bradley biggest fight and wanted to prove hes better but got outclassed again, thats it... Stop acting like a kids, its embarassing

You are not making excuse huh? Yeah ok... Pac is past prime and still beats the no.3 P4P. Styles make fight and Marquez style made Bradley look good. You thought Bradley was that super slick fighter or what?

It went to 147 where his power has always been overrated. Cotto has never been accuse of having a great chin. He dropped an old Shane who looked like he was just there to chill and get paid. Pac can hit and with as many punches as he lands it tends to be accumulative but his power truly is overrated. His size (or lack of it) has also been exaggerated lol.
