I saw signs of slippage in PAC.

[We want Floyd]

I atttended the PAC-Hatton fight, although he won in grand fashion. I think PAC actually showed some slippage, perhaps he's leaving his prime years.

Eventhough the scrap w/ Flattened only lasted for two rounds, PAC's speed has slowed down some.

[FrankJack]

I don't think he's slipping. But I think that in a lot of cases when fighters move up in weight they will sacrifice something. He hasn't lost a lot of speed, but he has lost a little. But, I think the reason is that his body is heavier now.

[MANGLER]

Fight didn't last long enuf to see anything bad about Pac. He did nothin but own for 2 rds. Nothin in his last few fights shows anything but improvement imo.

[johnm is...]

Meh, looked ok to me.

Speed wasn't really the issue, he was hitting Hatton flush anyway.

[RodBarker]

Impeccable timing , great accuracy and power , sharp as a tack , he was wary of Hattons size and strength and was a little jittery and this what I think your on about as his performance was faultless , he looks like he is on top of his game if you ask me ,, sometimes I think you guys think of fighters as wind up toys .

I didnt see such signs. You have to realize that Ricky has been Pac's most physical opponent so of course you'd see some speed marginalized, but Pac adjusted quickly and got the job done.

[Shadow boxer 3]

if anything he seems to get better with each fight. i think u hav Pac mixed up with Hatton.

[Benny Leonard]

I'm still amazed at his speed.

Freddie and his team (which includes his personal trainer) have said he is at his absolute best. He is probably right at the peak of his powers but here on out, we have to look out. I think this is why Roach wants him to retire after two more fights. Get him to retire before he slips even a bit. At this weight, it's risky to slip.


Personally, I thought he should have slipped by now especially with the increased weight. But I was comparing it with other fighters like Floyd when he moved up to 147; he went on a decline physically. Pac's just a different type of athlete at this point. He continues to want to get better and that is what his personal trainer is there for. I think at that level it is probably a must to have someone that fine tunes you.

Freddie will keep in eye on him as well as his personal trainers.

[Money May]

Pacquiao has ALWAYS been overrated. He's a B fighter at best. Floyd OWNS him anyday of the week.
