Pacquiao is DONE...

[Larry the boss]

i think people are forgetting rios was about 10 pounds heavier then pacman

10 pounds of what?fat?cause thats what i saw hanging over his truncks..it damn sho want functional muscle

[Mike D]

This is the most ******ed thread ever. So because he doesn't KO Rios, who has NEVER been stopped before, he's done? Even though he swept all 12 rounds?

OP a tard

Pac has no knockouts at 147.
Rios held his guard high and didn't punch much until he was on the inside (better defense than Margarito but poorer stamina) .

[Spoon23]

This is the point. Rios had the will beaten out of him, which I thought was basically impossible. He turned him into a tentative shell, just like he did to Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, and (to a lesser extent/perhaps unfairly) Bradley. That is nearly as impressive as a knockout.

Good point.

[PulpFriction]

I don't think he's done but he has definately looked much more inactive in his fights. Last few years it seems like he takes 1 1/2-2 minutes off most rounds with bursts of flurries in between.

topic starter translation: im mad that pac didnt get careless and bum rush into rios so rios could tee off on him. yea pacman is done!

It's called getting smarter AND older. Can you imagine if Michael Jordan didn't ever develop the outside shot from his dunking days?

Mayweather also have some drop off from his usual hit and run and have been staying put in the phone booth. His god-given reflexes might have regressed a tad but he's gotten better in hitting the opponent and more accurate angling.

So both fighters are well-seasoned and have declined from their old prowess. But the saddest thing is that it isn't about their decline as much as their camps' inability to compromise and fight.

because muscles is what keeps a man from not getting ko right...

[Rapid Counter]

How can anyone say pacs done? He just dominated the legendary Rios. Pac is up there with Richard Abril now
