Pacquiao Speed Declining???

[-Antonio-]

Unless you think it's declined in 4 months because he looked just as fast as usual against Cotto. Clottey's going to make him look even faster.

No, i wasn't being sarcastic at all. Yes judahs speed use to WoW me. He can throw a triple jab before most people get off a 1-2.

You never get the "if you blind you'll miss it" vibe with Pacman that you did with
Floyds lead lefts against Chico. THAT was true speed. Pacman aint all that quick, tbh.

People highly exaggerate his speed. He's just very consistent. In the later rounds when people normally slow down, he's either picking up or still the same.

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???

he should be fast enough to tap this

if he did it would be because of him gaining more muscle mass, but then again his power will increase or has increased... Pac won't make himself decline, he's too strong willed to do so

I don't think so, either that or I can't tell if his speed has declined because he is still movie magic fast.

i noticed this too.. its just that hes doing more strentgh conditionining as hes facing a bigger opponent (s) and they want him to carry his punching power.. his best assest ofcource is the differenct punching angles.

well you compromise some speed to gain power...

I did. When he shadow boxes or hits the mitts it is not as fast as for the Cotto fight. I don't know if it is slipping or just letting off.

Yeah me. It was during the Cotto fight that I noticed it. Still faster than most. I recall that CRold also noticed this in one of his articles. I think it was his post grade of the pac-cotto fight.

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

Pac at the lower weights was much faster.

He is still fast, but so is Floyd and perhaps Mosely.

But they all have definitely slowed down.
