Pacquiao's peak

no..he just couldnt stop them..they are more sturdy than cotto

Like Pullcounter said he lost his hunger, After the 9th round against Margarito, he could've finished him off any round but instead he's looking at the ref for assurance.

Against clottey I can understand why he didn't get to many chances to hit him flush, by Margarito was a different story.

hes still at his absolute best, nothing has changed since 09

Is he still good, absolutely. However, there is no way margarito would have survived hatton-cotto pac. Clottey would have gotten stopped due to his style. That pac simply would not stop.

i believe he still at his peak skill wise and not in his prime peak physical wise because of the wear and tear.

the reason he didnt stop Clottey and Margarito were because of the great chin and giving up to much weight. i believe Clottey was around 160 and Marg we all know was 165 lbs. against Hatton the weight difference wasnt that much. Pac cannot give up 17 lbs and expect him to knock out his opponent. that was too much to ask.

From diaz onwards it has been all uphill. These fighters on paper should have tested Pac. They would have been expected to test any other fighter in history.
Pac is the GOAT now, but it is the road to retirement now, and anything that happens from now till his retirement dictates if he strays from being the GOAT. Just like when RJJ was just about the best things sinced sliced bread after beating Ruiz, but it went down hill from there somehow.

And down the line, Margarito is prob going to wish his corner or the ref stopped the fight sooner. Margarito took more punishment then anyone of Pacquaio's previous opponents. I dont think Margarito's vision will ever be the same.
