Is Manny still prime or past it?

[SlySlickSmooth]

Some say Manny is very aged and past it, and on the other hand even Manny says he will regain his old form. So what is it? Is he past his prime?

I don't think he's performed the same (aside from JMM IV, even then he wasn't as fast as 3 years ago) since Margarito.

I think he's past his prime but, is still a very good fighter. Never liked pac but, I have allot of respect for him. If he's the pacman from pre-Bradley fight then he beats Bam Bam down. If he comes in gun shy then Rios has a shot at winning...

He's still prime. Don't let the Pactards poison your mind just to discredit the 40 year old, blown up, jr lightweight's knockout victory of Manny.

He's not in his prime but he's still a great fighter. If you think about it after that margarito fight he seemed to have digressed in terms of his overall abilities. Power seems down, speed seems down, lateral movement seems down, you can definelty see his skill have declined. Prime manny stops Bradley, and would definelty destroy rios.

Manny is one of those fighters who, although he had a prime, he compensated for it in other areas throughout his post prime years.

past prime...probably even worse now after that KO. but we'll know for sure on fight night.

[puga]

he's been past it for a while now ...

[Doctor_Tenma]

He looked like vintage Manny Pacquiao against Marquez, on any given day someone like Marquez, Cotto or Pacquiao can turn the clock back and perform really well. I'd say he's past it, but how good he is really depends on how he looks against Rios.

[trainhard_187]

Bradley, he expected a W so he really didnt put much of the usual Pac desire into that fight

Marquez, Pac look good was overly confident and then came sleep time..

Right now hes gotten too big to the point where he thinks he can do a million things at once..

If he stuck with just boxing and had the hunger again, he can still dish out a few a$$ whoopings but right now hes just focused on nonsense corrupt Philippines politics which if it wasnt for boxing he would NOT even be a politician..

Sometimes success gets the best of us and we think we can do anything which we can be we wont be as good at it as others.

Pac needs to go back to his hungry striving for the top spot days but right now it just doesnt look like hes hungry anymore..

WTF...hes not Benjamin Button
