    don't know but i think he's going downhill.

    he's 32 this year. that's ancient for slugger types which pac was for most of his career. a 15 going on 16 year career with almost 60 fights.

      nahh its not even the opponent. look at his speed. it wasnt there tonite. his punces werent crisp and he was more sloppy than ive seen him since the marquez fight. his skills have declined somewhat, but thats natural for about this age. margarito on the other hand, has experienced significant decline. le looked like valuev for much of the fight, getting turned around n ****.

        yeah but remember floyd has technical advantages.

        pacquiao's advantages are physical.

          Floyd wouldn't fight manny in a como and all the *****'s know this. Thus, the only option is to negate anything Manny does... but I'm still wondering why Mayweather is even in the conversation. He's fight twice in 3 years and one of those guys was a lightweight, why is he even used in the same breath as Manny? Because he beat Oscar (which 4 people had already done) or beating Hatton? Maybe it was the 6 or 7th loss he put on Gatti's record, maybe it was loss 13 he gave to Baldomir...

          Did I really just compare a guy whose best wins are Gatti, DLH, Hatton and Baldomir with a guy who not only actually FACED but beat Margrito and Cotto. Then stopped on morales, barrera and decimated DLH and Hatton worse than Floyd did... why do we even mention Floyd again?

              he is for sure but i dont think its as bad as you and some people think... and you have to remember pacquiao is a special fighter so we cant really measure his limit

                Well Pac will really look sluggish punching a chin elevated 5 inches higher than usual. He has to stretch too to reach and project power. That's why he looked sluggish. He understood that he had to receive some some punches too because he was fighting a fellow pressure fighter.

                  defensively floyd is more technical... physicaly floyd is bigger so they are equal in this regard

                    lol at these idiots


                    Pacquiao just hit his prime two years ago since Marquez II he is a "different fighter" right



                    he is not the same guy that would lose to Morales or Marquez he is a more improved fighter

                      This is about as spot on as you can get.

                      I'm not shinin' you on either, this is the perfect take on this matchup.
