Pacquiao is still the same great fighter. What fans have been missing is the lack of opponents who evenly split the responsibility of initiating the exchange. Starting from Clottey (minus Margarito), he's always been forced to press the action. I think he got tired and realized it's the challenger's responsibility to take it to the champ, not the other way around. Pac is known to make apologies when the fight's outcome turned out to be not so entertaining. I don't think he had that intention in the Bradley fight where he's often seen signalling Bradley to come in and fight. I've seen it in his previous fights, but not as noticeable as in this fight.
Pac, I think, would be very happy to fight guys like Ortiz. And this fight would have happened if Ortiz is a TR fighter.
