    going into the last fight it was as good as ever, the KO punch was just a perfect shot that would have the same impact at any stage of his career imo. full force, right on the chin, never saw it coming and ran right into it. you dont get up from those shots.

    if that knockout had some long term effects on his ability to take a punch remains to be seen. at his age and with the wear and tear he already suffered it very well could.

      there is no rule that says a fighter's chin gets worse with age

        I think it's good his k.o was as much his fault as Marquez it's just being made more of what it really is, let's say they both should gotten credit for his K.O he literally jumped into Marquez incoming punch idc who you are 9 out of 10 times that will put you to sleep.

            WeakChinIao has been rocked by most that actually connect. He's capable of being backed up for a bit. Floyd would spark him out.

              Floyd's like that kid you see in a street fight video that's scared to fight, so his big brother steps in for him, and KOs the other guy, then the kid starts jumping up and down saying, "what!? what!? Now what!?", even though he didn't do ****.

              LMFAO.

                Just so we all understand what having a chin means...if Pac gets rocked/******/backed up...and still keeps going (and winning) it means he has a chin.

                We dont know what the KO will do to this and we are all just going to have to wait and see.

                  Manny has always had a pretty solid chin considering the amount of wars he has been in an the last 10-12 years has only gone down when jmm put him to sleep,,,,

                  His punch resistance may be eroding little by little,,,

                  will be interesting to see how it holds up vs a pressure dog fighter like rios

                    Pacquiao's chin is very good. He fell into the punch and it was perfect punch. Marquez has pinpoint accuracy as well.

                      He had a good chin. The seal has been well and truly broken now though.
