Every weigh in shows Pacquiao more and more deteriorated. His muscles are less and less visible each time, an he looks smaller.

I wonder why age catches up Pacquiao but not others......
He doesn't look that different.
But I agree - his fire isn't there anymore.

Good post. I guess anyone could look out of shape standing next to Bradley.
Shook my head when I saw this thread yesterday. It's as if guys here have no concept that age changes your appearance. Fortunately, boxing is less about looks and more about conditioning, planning, intelligence, and a myriad of other things that aren't apparent when a guy takes his shirt off.
I want Bradley to win. Been a big fan of his for a long time. I wish him and Atlas had met earlier in Bradley's career. Perfect blend of bat-sh+t crazy.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'd be happy for Bradley if he wins. I feel like he's a bit underappreciated, and this win would mean a lot.
But nevertheless gotta ride with the Pacman during the fight :boxing:
This is how I felt too. I am still expecting him to win but I'm quite worried...

I thought the same thing myself when first seeing these pictures.
I just hope he at least gives a performance of effort. I have a gut feeling he really doesn't care and will just be going through the motions.

Guys apply way too much emphasis on a single photo , cameras do lie ( distort) from one shot to the next .
I know, even the video for the weigh in against Margarito Pacquiao doesn't look too good. Granted, difference weight class, but still not looking his best Pac performed. I think Pac's slippage does have more to do with the mental rather than physical as someone else mentioned earlier.
Just watched the video of the weigh in, he didn't look all that different. Little smaller in the upper body than he was for Floyd but not terrible IMO.
I thought he looked worse versus Margarito. Keep in mind he's actually flexing in the picture and has a better tan. http://www.15rounds.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/pacquiao_margarito20weighin20101112_001a.jpg

How so? He was clearly outboxed twice. He's not that type of fighter plus Pac has underrated boxing skills imo.
New trainer new mindset better conditioned more determined , you do know that fighters can improve with the right changes dont you , and at this level you dont have to improve much to change things around alot .
