    Is Pacquiao shot?

    Just want everybody's input on this.

    He didn't look his best in Marquez III, look good against Bradley and got KOd in Marquez IV.

    Do you reckon he's shot? Or is he still close to the top of his game?

      He has been declining fairly rapidly as any fighter with the long, top level career he's had. We wont know how much he has declined until we see how he bounces back from the KO...if at all.

        There is nothing wrong with him. He lost because he dropped his hands and got off balance when pressing to ko JMM. he was just in with someone who could take advantage of those mistakes. He will get a KO in this fight without question.

          So you think he is not declining? Not sure what your flom angle is here, but I expect it to become apparent soon.

            Definitely not shot. He may have lost a step though.

              shot?
              no


              faded a measurable amount?
              yes. absolutely. he's on the downside.

                I don't think so, but if his chin is cracked the end will come very soon. Maybe he can make it past Rios even with a cracked chin but not much further.

                His speed and power is almost certainly still there. In that regard he looked terrific against Marquez, better than he has in a long time. It all comes down to whether his punch resistance has left him.

                  Not sure. I think he could be after the Marquez knockout. Pacquiao has really been on the decline since Mosley. I think he's on the tail end personally. I hope I'm wrong, Pacquiao has always been amazing to watch over the years.

                    Pac is clearly past his prime. Plus no one comes back from getting KTFO like that
