      Wow, these idiots make me sick to my stomach. Pacquiao didn't lose anything. This is the first time in 3 years he's faced a fighter who wasn't flat footed and standing right in front of him.

      Remember the *****s saying "Pacquiao has good matchmaking" this was a perfect example of that being true. Shane is usually a flat footed boxer.

        That's true, but that was his first serious endeavour at the weight as they knew Cotto wasn't going to be like Oscar. It was a different challenge to Clottey and Margarito and Mosley.

        Mayweather becomes a different challenge. And to a lesser extent JMM.

        With the right opponent he'll have that edge again. The pre-fight talk and some hard right counters from either of them will have Pac riled and wanting to kill them. He hasn't lost it. There's just been no real need for it.

          I would have accepted that if Pacquiao struggled to win, not shut Mosley out and beat up Mosley the last three rounds when he finally started throwing. I would accept that if he had tried his hardest to get Mosley out of there in the third when he knocked him down, not touched gloves and acted friendly. I would also accept that if Pacquiao hadn't let Margarito survive the 12 rounds. It's a pattern at this point, he knows he's good enough to take mercy and he does.

            Ever think this might just have been a case of Mosley running too much and Pac couldn't get to him as much as he'd have liked? I know in the Cotto fight an already badly damaged Cotto had Manny frustrated just the same for a quite a few rounds by backing away. And did you miss the KD? Did that look like Manny didn't want to hurt him?

            Honestly, this talk about Mayweather now being a sure thing to school Pac on the back of a fight Pac won by shutout and had an opponent hurt and running for his life, who'd always been known as a warrior that fought to the end, is all bull**** and probably wishful thinking especially from the part of Floyd fans. It's good though, maybe now Floyd will get his urge back now that Manny didn't look superhuman and people are writing him off.

              Give him someone who will light the fire in his belly like JMM or Floyd, you'll see the eye of the tiger in him again. Pac reciprocates, that's the kind of person he is...
