How has Pacquiao exactly declined?

[kurt0411]

Ideally no fanboys, i just want to know most of you guys thoughts on pacquiao 3 years ago compared to now.

In my opinion, pac vs marquez 3 and pac vs bradley is were pac looked like he wasnt really interested but imo still won both fights regardless. Against marquez 4, imo it was pac's best performance since margarito, till he got careless. And, even though it was against rios, he fought tremendously well in the that fight, and his speed was definitely still there.

Im curious to see what you guys think? Has pac decreased, if so in what way? Is pacs still the same?

Pacquiao no longer has that killer instinct and it seems he lost a bit of power in the process. Pacquiao even from 2009 was much different than the Pacquiao of 2012 and 2013. The Pacquiao that fought and beat Cotto was a monster but now he is a tamed monster that is on his way out of the sport.

Hes not as fast, his stamina isn't as good, his reflexes aren't as sharp, hes not as durable.

All of the assets made him Pacquiao have dulled with age.

i think hes a little bit more shy and a bit smarter after the marquez ko, but the fire in his heart to destroy and steamroll people like DLH & cotto seems to have diminished a while ago

His killer instinct was definitely there against marquez, but it was a bit too much. Against rios, its hard to knock out a guy with a chin like that. But i agree with you against bradley and the 3rd fight against marquez, he seemed like he didnt want to go for the kill

I was in the crowd, i laughed out loud when manny hit the deck,
I saw it land it was a straight right hand that broke his fkin neck.
Now he barely talks or even walks his legs are that unsteady,
its plain to see even on tv he was shaking worse than Freddie.

Your post is bad and you should feel bad.

less speed, chin cracked, unmotivated (other than by money), legs are gone, stamina now lacking...it's time to go

I think the fighter have to challenge PAC man to bring out the beast. Mosley, bradley, rios was to easy none of them ever rocked him or had him in real trouble so they were very easy wins. Jmm knows him, has had time to figure him out and expose his weekness now with that being said when jmm knocked him down in the 3rd round he got up furious and really started to kill Marquez, even nacho said he was worried after the kd because of pac's temper but jmm just caught him he still fought good I just think he really hasn't been tested to make him fight

The decline is across the board, I'm not sure how anyone can't see it. His foot speed has slowed down considerably. So have his reflexes and, to a lesser extent, his hand speed. I don't know about his power because against Rios he looked like he left it at home. But then I think to that crunching right hook he landed in the fifth against the steel-chinned Marquez and I start to think he still hits like a hammer. Anyway, Pacquiao is slipping fast.
