" I Shall Return ! "

Pac didn't train hard for any fight up to this point. I think that this loss will either bring his committment to a new level or destroy his confidence. We will have to wait and see what happens.

I still would pic Pac in a rematch againt Barrera.

like the Filipino that he is, expect manny to be so motivated in his next fight, whoever that maybe... he is a warrior and will certainly bounce back big time...

He needs to learn a few more tricks. Like Gatti learned to box better after Ward/Gatti I, Pacquiao needs to learn how to tie up and smother his opponents and learn the art of inside fighting. Skipping away from JMM and Morales' assault looks bad to the eyes of the judges. Lateral movement and counters are another set of arsenal Pac needs to learn.

He's gotten so good at KO'ing people with his one-two punch, he's never really had to adjust. Now after these two fights, he better. A tactical boxer is one who can adjust to different styles many times in one fight. Pac got the short end of some beautiful boxing by his last two opponents.

In the long run, Manny will be older and slower and his one-two punch will be just that:a slow one-two punch. However, with the fundimentals of boxing (inside fighting, counters, lateral movements, better footwork) he can still remain competitive. If not, without his speed he will fall by the way side.

even though i wanted morales to win, pac has nothing to be ashamed of. his stock as a fighter has not gone down at all in my eyes. i look forward to seeing him again, whoever he fights.

VS Barrera - Pac will beat MAB again in a rematch. He doesnt posses the height/reach advantage of Morales, nor the chin of Morales. He also doesnt have as beatiful boxing skills as Marquez. Styles makes fights and Barrera style just dont cut if for pacman.

VS Marquez - Watching Saturday's fight, that was definetly a different pacman from the one that fought Marquez. He managed to land alot of hits on Morales although Morales chin kept him in there. Marquez does not have Morales chin to save him and if Manny can land as much hits to marquez as he did Morales, I think he'll get it.

VS Morales - I think beating Morales is on a differentt level. He needs better boxing skills, needs to land the straight left lunging forward hard. With cleto reyes there's also better chance of a KO wether it be Morales or Pacman. I think the odds are in Morales favour but I wouldnt count the pacman out.
