Lets face it, Pac's prime is over

AgreedAlthough I Agree that Pacs recent fights aren't that explosive anymore, I disagree that he's past his prime.
Back then, he's more hungry, more beastly. He tries to go for a KO ASAP. Now that he's moving up weights, he has become a more technical fighter and he has went soft on his opponents.
Did you notice why he couldn't get a KO at WW? Because theyre at WW! PAC power hasn't increased. Sure he didn't lose it while movin to WW but it's not powerful enough to KO someone at WW.
If you put him back at JMW or lower, I'm pretty sure we'll see KOs just like we used to.
I don't understand why people are complaining why he struggled with JMM!
PAC wasn't the same PAC in the past. This time, he tried to play a chest match with JMM and that why we didn't see JMM landing on his ass this time around.
If PAC went back to being more aggressive, I'm sure he can put JmM on the canvas like we witness in the past.
But we didn't.
If anything Pac is alot better against his rival Marquez, technically in their first fight Marquez schooled Pacquiao If we disregard the knockdowns but since knockdowns are as much a part of boxing as a jab or a hook, Pac should've won If it wasn't for a judge's error that made It a draw.
There's a pattern that Pac follows, He destroyed barrera and morales who are come forward fighters and then just when he's suppose to beat Marquez in their first fight, he got out boxed.
He lost to morales and came back destroying him and outpointed Barrera yet again and looked like he should destroyed JMM for sure in their 2nd fight but instead of that happening, It's the same old tit for tat boxing chess match but only this time around they are almost evenly match and Pac needed a knockdown just to tip the decision in his favor
He then went on to his usual pattern of destroying boxer-brawlers such as Hatton, OdLh, Mosley etc and for sure now He should destroy Marquez
Only this time around the same thing happened but instead of Pac needing any knockdown to influence the score, He outpointed him with by landing more jabs and power punches, I'd say Pac is definitely rising and still is otherwise He would have needed another 5 knockdowns just for the fight to be a draw which didn't happened.
Logic dictates that although Pac destroyed any boxer-brawler, JMM has his number at any weight class but Pac has gotten the better of him.Comment

he cant take roids foreverPacquiao'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 agoComment

Pacquiao was past his prime when he fought Marquez in 2008. He was able to get reinvigorated when he met the hulk shake guy. He's still working with the same guy but he looks ordinary out there. Coming up off of the drugs shows us what we have already seen. That's Pacquiao looking like he's past his prime. He was long since past his prime. PEDs will give him the edge to make it through without getting sluggish. We have seen him in there looking very sluggish.Comment
