Pacquiao is past his prime......

[EtotheX]

you don't have to be worn down or inactive to go downhill. those certainly apply though.

it's human nature. everyone hits a physical prime and right after they peak it goes down.

I know what you're saying but you're severely discounting the fact that Floyd's barely fought lately so obviously there's going to be some ring rust.

I dont know and we dont know yet, Marg had a huge heart and granite chin last night. Though I agree age is his worst opponent.

that could be it but i don't know.

something has been off since the cotto fight.

hard to explain.

clottey fight i thought oh it's just how clottey fought like a *****.

this time i don't know. maybe he didn't train as hard?

don't know..... we'll see.

Cotto damages people. I've said it again and again, you may beat him but he takes something out of you too.

It's weird Pac mentioned him, and not Margarito after the fight....

[check hook]

......all downhill from here.

Floyd should wait for 1 more fight.

Pacquiao will be ready to go by late next year.

Tua this is a bit silly. floyd is much further out of his prime than MP is. I ould argue MP is better than ever. Floyd on the other hand is getting hit with right hands that would have been slow motion for him 5 years ago.

Get the excuses ready! Pac is younger than may and fought easier competition but hes past his prime lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Floyd is demonstrating the natural progression of a fighter as he ages and gains mass, Pacquiao does not show **** natural progression (at least not in a very noticeable sense).

Floyd is slower, his reflexes have markedly diminished, his effective power as he has gone up in weight class has also gone down.

Pac is just a bit slower, but his stamina is the same, his power seems to have increased, and he doesn't seem to get seriously hurt, just minor stuns, no matter the bombs landed.
