Why did MANNY start declining after the steroid accusations ?

uggh maybe the guys he's fighting are tough to KO?

Clottey - never been KO'd, turtle shell defense entire fight.
Margarito - Should have been stopped by ref/corner, but another iron chin guy (only mosley has truly stopped him)
Marquez - never been KO'd before, very good counter puncher.

It's not rocket science man. Pac is fighting bigger and better opponents. Ricky Hatton & Diaz are smaller and are there to be hit. Easy work for pac.

yup...pac destroyed margarito's orbital bone and even wobbled/staggered him a couple times...and he dominated mosley and knocked him down which hasn't happened to mosley in a long time. pac didn't look too good against marquez because marquez just knows how to fight pacquiao.

Poor Paqciao. He performs well and he's on steroids. Otherwise, he's overrated and one-dimensional.

Agree, he didn't KO Mosley either, but no one has, some fighters just don't get KO'd. Mayweather didn't KO Cotto but Pacman did. Maybe its not roids but Manny is gradually declining after having already getting to the top of the mountain (losing interest and being involved with politics didn't help either). He has beaten everyone easy (except JMM) over the last couple years, JMM is just a bad match-up for him.

Puto floyd will eventually get exposed as the real roider.

some of you mofos are dumb as ****.

after cotto, mu'****in trainers realized that pac isn't a featherweight anymore and if you go to war with pac you're gonna get KOed... so now all these mofos changing their strategies to run from pac and last 12 rounds... that's all there is to it.

he did break margo's face now

His Gloves were illegally wrapped.

True but he was also hurt in that fight .

I remember lil manny going toe to toe with cotto just shaking off body shots .

Huh? Pacquiao did shake off those hard body shots, lesser men would have took a knee from that double body shot that Pac took from Margarito.

I don't get this, are you a boxing fan or a video game fan? this isn't movies fighters get hurt, stop playing fight night and keeping your fighter undefeated and deleting him when he loses or unplugging your system when you are bout to get a loss online, even Floyd got a bloody nose, and broke his hands before.

IMO if Manny stopped looking good because he got of the PEDs then it makes sense.

If any of you recall, in the first Pacquiao/Morales fight, there was an error at the lab that takes the fighters' blood. That meant that Manny Pacquiao had to resubmit a fresh sample in the middle of his training.

Now anyone who knows about PEDs understands that messing with someone's cycle is a perfect way to screw up their performance come the moment of truth .. be it bodybuilding or boxing.

No one EVER thought Morales would upset Pacquiao. Yet Morales gave the fight of his life.

Here's the catch though:

In the rematch, Pacquiao destroyed Morales WITHOUT ever changing or fine tuning his approach. Manny did the same exact things as he did when he lost. Except this time, he never tired and he seemed to have more pop in his punches.

All one has to do it watch both fights. Pacquiao used the same approach, with different results. The only difference is he had to produce a clean blood sample randomly for the first fight. And we all saw what happened.
