Pacquiao Speed Declining???

[$partacus]

So you can tell from some training footage shot on a cheap camera that his speed is declining, you must be superhuman.

No i'm not talking about compared to his featherweight days. That's obvious. Watching recent videos of Pacquiao training I seem to think both his hand and footspeed are a bit slower compared to the cotto fight. Because it's pacquiao it doesnt seem like much and still very very quick but in my opinion it does show definitive signs of decline and slippage.

Anyone else besides me think or even notice this???

good observation. i noticed the same thing when he was training for cotto and i even made a thread about it. most people disagre though

Yeah, true. I suppose I could let you off.

i know right

Manny could be working on specific combos,technique ,sitting on his punches for power and could be slowing down in training for precision to get better form. Closer to the fight my guess is he will be working on speed. I doubt he has lost any of his speed.

Not very surprising....because were on to him.

its only natural for a someones speed to decline with age so yes it is steadly declining obviously you cant tell how much untill the bell of each fight rings

...I personally don't think he's that fast at all. His speed during training (the ugly shadowbox bull****) and during fights is completely different. I personally always felt i could see wtf he's throwing from a mile away.

Whereas guys like Judah, or Floyd for instance.. would do things that would WOW me with their speed. FLoyd could throw a lead hook faster than he can throw a jab. Things like that are impressive.

TYSON wowed me with his speed, just incredible. Roy jones, etc. I don't find pacman all that fast at all. just me though, but watching his fights.......meh.

This is the most sarcastic post I've seen in a while....LOL...Zab Judah and the 'wow' factor.

Pacquiao's speed is great but the angles are the best asset he has. Fires with both hands with weird angles most fighters don't see that in the gym and thus can't defend against. Counterpunching solves this partially because Pacquiao is wide open (because he punches with both hands). This is why i think Floyd will win if they fight. Floyd is very accurate and Pacquiao is very open. Watch Pacquiao - Marquez II to see how many punches Manny actually lands when he's being counter-punched compared to when he's not (Cotto, Hatton, Hoya).
