I've seen signs of physical slippage in Pacquiao for a few years now, but most of those have been balanced out by his increased boxing IQ that have compensated and preserved his prime.
I saw signs of slippage in PAC.

slippage? pac is hitting harder than ever and his speed is still there. pac's chin has yet to even be tested above 130 lbs, his footwork and angles are so good.Comment

He looked nervous, but he had every right to be. Hatton is a big dude compared to who he usually fights. He had no way of knowing if he could hurt Ricky or if he could take Hatton's punch. But I agree with a few posts, Pac will always look amazing against guys who come at him like Hatton, and it didnt hurt that Hatton has an absolute **** chin now and no head movement. But if you stick Pac in against JMM again the fight will look alot like the first two just because of the styles of the fighters. Pac jumping in and out in spurts lends its self to the syle of a great counter puncher like JMM. Is Pac on the slide? Maybe his reflexes are slipping as he is older now (although I didnt see it in the Hatton fight) but his ring intelligence is better then ever. He is also a very good two handed puncher now. If he could fight the way he does now when he was a younger fighter he would have marched through even more big names by now.Comment
