Is it time for Pac to switch it up? New trainer?

Im not talking about developing Pacquiao as a fighter. Its too late for that. Im talking about game plan wise.

No I think Roach and Pac are a perfect match, what I see and keep this in mind, a fighters prime is short, I mean its very short one day we have this new mega star the next he is gone, look how long ago it was when he fought and beat Barrera in their first fight.....

I think we are seeing the inevitable here, Last night Manny looked sloppy, looked glove shy, looked like he just couldnt get his timing, and in spots just couldnt pull the trigger quick enough...

I think what we are seeing is the Manny Pacquiao reign comming to a close he has been in the spotlight for about a decade now I think its comming to an end here...

Sad because we should have gotten the May Pac fight two years ago, right now the way Floyd takes care of himself and not fighting as often he is the lesser damaged/faded of the two the fight almost makes no sense now

OR...maybe Manny has been a tad overrated, faced tailor-made opposition, and looks clueless against a skilled counter puncher like JMM. Just like in 04 and in 08. That's why he hasn't faced any outside of Marquez. And that's why Bob Arum will never put him in with Mayweather.

I really don't think a trainer can teach you how to deal with a counter puncher. It is something the fighter has to figure out.

He is not shot.. boy has just not faced an elite fighter since Marquez 2 and the fighters he did fight were tailor made for him.

Tad bit ******ed thread, but thumbs up for the effort.

Maybe Marquez should be his trainer? He sure did teach pac a lesson the other day

I wont stoop down that far to take a cheap shot at Pacquiao everything he has gained he has done so rightfully for a little guy.
The whole he is over hyped statement well let me put it to you this way, usually when Manny fights he beats people up, regardless of weather or not a fighter is drained or not he goes out there and beats them up, that creates hype no matter what.
However I am saying that I just think its time for him to consider retirement I think he has been through enough tough fights and he should take it for what its worth and go full time into politics.
Arum is not the only person to blame for the May Pac fight not happening Floyd has a bit of a role here as well.

Not saying he is shot but he is clearly not the same fighter, and I aint saying this cus he lost, I am saying this because he has now become so ****ing predictable, when he throws that right hook he telegraphs that, his elbow raises up just before he fires it, you can see that **** all day.
in addition you can see that Manny sees the opening well last night, but doesnt pull the trigger, and to add more to it, he looked extremely glove shy and was not as willing to engage as we normally see him.
