Lets think real : Pacquiao is probably losing his legs

[Pacquiao'd]

He's had leg issues the last 3 fights or so, went to the hospital during the Margarito or Clottey fight for it. He says he's going to hire a masseuse to work on it for his next camp. As long as the pain isn't an issue in the ring, wouldn't say his legs are gone, his last camp he looked as mobile and explosive as ever.

Now Floyd... that boy's legs are gone.

i hope roach, pacroid and your*******s seriously believe this. your god is in for a serious beating

He fought the same way against Barrera the second time and people cried the same thing. It was just a subpar performance, it happens. He's not past his prime imo.

Pac dropped Mosley (2nd fighter ever to do that) and made him run for his life (1st fighter to ever do that) and you say his legs are gone?

This is why your theories aren't published.

Mosley also dropped Pac the way it will be written into the history books...

[LeG00N]

no....i admire warriors like pac and despise cowards like floyd....

really? because i've seen you disrespect numerous other boxers for calling out Pacquiao

[Jack Napier]

one great aspect of Pac other than his speed and power are his legs. when on point, his footwork is senstional which allows him to move in and out and create angles to hit fighters.

what im afraid is after the Mosley fight, that his legs are becoming shot. I didnt see the same explosiveness as i saw during the Margarito, Cotto fights. he wasnt darting in and out and controlling the pace, he was relying on chasing Mosley down and blitz him with combinations. if he plans to beat Floyd, he can only win with his legs. Dart in and around Mayweathers jab, get in lands combos and get out. and if he has to chase Floyd smartly he needs his footspeed to be at best to get into a good pace to disarm Floyd.

so what do you think? you think Pacs legs are gone? i think so, we will know more in November, i hope it isnt the case. but its a real possiblity.

he looked like shit because his opponent refused to fight and he got bored, simple as that

after that bs phantom knockdown pac came out swinging for the next 2 rounds...yeah Mosley was there only to cash a check, but Pac was MAD!!!!

[etlux]

he said he had stiffness in his calf, plus its hard to show great footwork when all youve got to do is follow around a fighter that wont engage with you

when he said that he also added a part that you left out. He said that he has stiffness in his calves in that fight and that "it has been happening more and more lately." i.e. his legs are becoming shot, he's growing old

like anybody is worthy of calling out Pac!!!

The day Nonito Donaire calls out Pac:

[William Blake]

I wouldn't base the conclusion that Manny's legs are gone based on his lack of in and out vs Shame.

After all, Shame Mosley was constantly back pedaling. Pacquiao's in and out motion works best him stationary fighters, or ones that come to him. Fighting against someone backpedaling, Pacquiao has to come in more of a direct line and constantly move forward.

An additional consideration is that Manny actually likes to fight toe-to-toe with these guys- especially a Shame Mosley who made such a big deal of his power and one punch ability. Same with the Cotto fight.
