Lets face it, Pac's prime is over

[Lineal Champ]

Pacquiao's physical prime is over. Last 4 fights have been a all decisions. Grueling battle with Cotto, 12 rounds and big shots from 174 lb Margarito, and 12 rounds of chasing old man Mosley and a grueling 12 round battle with Marquez which did not look like the past two fights with great exchanges every round.

Pac's fire and prime was 2-3 years ago

[D.I.E.S.E.L]

That's right. It's over. He only looks good against opponents that stand in front of him like a heavy bag. Show any sharpness whatsoever and he'll have trouble. That's why Bob Arum is doing all the coordinating.

i think so too...that's why all of a sudden floyd camp want to negotiate....

So Pacquiao's prime is a Catchweight fight against Cotto who got destroyed by Margarito?

lol it never stops

[Weebler I]

lol @ talking about only getting a decision against big guys like Cotto, Margarito, Mosley and Clottey.

He may be past his prime, but you can't judge it from a bout with Marquez who has always given him trouble.

Nah, he just needs to figure out how to balance his training camps better so that the cramp issue is taken care of. Maybe less roadwork (which can be brutal on the legs) and more swimming like Ariza wanted. Other than that he still hits as hard as ever, still has unreal speed in his hands and feet. Obviously he's lost some speed with age, but not enough to say he's past his prime.

Manny's lack of world class skill is what makes him not looked prime when matched with a skilled fighter. Match Manny up with another mummie and Pac will look prime again and that is what you will see Arum do. Hence how Arum is already anouncing a tune up fight for Manny lol......

Pacman got civilized

You make it sound like floyd is still in his prime. Hes lost a step or two over the last few years.
