Which of these is the reason?
Moved up in weight - power didn't transfer
Age - he just got old
Physical problems - cramps, shoulders, etc.
Loss of commitment - politics and basketball got in the way
Was on PED's until Floyd called him out
5 is the correct answer. Now it's age.
Pac took Floyd, Oscar and co to court and they got so shook they settled with him so I highly doubt you are correct. Yo ucan prove me otherwise with evidence, I'm sure.
Anyway, the reality is age and in 2010, Pac was still the man.
The JMM KO is the cut off point. Pacquiao slowed down considerably after that, I think his mentality changed as well and by 2014 he was considerably passed his prime but still good enough to beat the likes of Bradley and Algieri.
Like I said after the Vargas fight "that looked like a guy trying to imitate Pacquiao". All the traits were there, the bounce, the feints but all of it was 2nd rate, a cheap imitation, a knock off. You get the picture.
It's like watching Ali from the late 70s. Every now and then he would try the shuffle but it looked slow and stupid. He'd try the flashy combos but they had no snap, he'd try leaning away from punches but get clipped.
Father time, it beats everybody.

Was 100% on PED's, Floyd exposed him.
He looked like a crack head against horn
2,3,4. Manny doesnt have that one shot power at 140 and above, he breaks his opponents down with relentless stamina, when he lost that he can barely sustain throwing power punches.
Past prime since bradley II. No longer had the pulse he once had.

He is not juicing anymore.
