    TBH, if I had to guess about it, I think that it was a harder fight for him then he had expected. Not to say he didn't think it would be hard, but the 17 pound weight difference and the power behind the weight - he looked more emotionally damaged than physically damaged. He used to appear invigourated by a hard fought war, and he didn't have that attitude after this fight. I just don't think his heart is in it anymore. And if that's the case he should retire immediately - that's when fighters get hurt really bad (fighting when their hearts not in it).

    I say there's only one fight left for Manny with any thing left to prove. A fight with FMJ or just retire. I do believe he would find the heart for that one lol.

      It's true Pacquiao didn't do his normal, post fight (music) concert performance. He must be slowing down.

          Pac got a broken rib, bruised knuckles, and the right side of his face is swollen.. But he was given a clean bill of health. However this is the worst shape I saw Pac after the fight.. The other being a fight against Cotto and the first fight against Morales ..

            I agree. He shouldn't continue if he doesn't feel he has anything to prove anymore. He does not need FMJ, he is the greater, far more accomplished fighter, person etc. He's done great things in boxing, reinvigorated an ailing sport, got elected to Congress in the Philippines and I hope he does great things from there...

            I'm not a Pac fan, since I tend to side with underdogs and he's been blasting through fighters for a while, but I still worry he might get hurt if his mind is not in it, or trying to give fans more and more when there is no more that should be given.

            Pac, retire in Glory if your heart is not in it anymore.

              I thought Pac was "acting" so as to create a more dramatic element to this one sided fight. He was making a Rocky "moment" and it seemed fake to me.

              Yeah, he got hit in the ribs.. But he ****** it up and fcked tony up for life. As we speak he is getting his face put back together.

I thought he wasn't thinking properly, he's just on his feet and fighting on because he's got great instincts and sheer brutality in him, but he didn't seem 100% up there at all...
                What you saw was a man who was tired from punching another man in the face non stop for 12 rounds. Trust me, come today... he is feeling great!

Watch his post fight press conference and his other post fight interviews he looks and sounds like a guy who wen't thru hell. Not like every other post fight interviews where he looks energetic still.
                    This wasnt nearly the same amount of damage he took from clottey or cotto. Margarito rarely got any flush shots other than his jab. Its just fighting the welterweights in general thats beating him down slowly.

                    I also didnt see Manny looking as in shape or conditioned as he normally was in his past 4 fights
