The amount of faux boxing guru's is astounding...
Pacquaio stops knocking out opponents somehow means he stopped juicing..now let's look at this. Name one boxer in history who continued to be a human wrecking crew after the stepped up in competition? Or in divisions? How many people has Garcia knocked out lately? How many people has Chavez KO'd recently? It's natural as a fighter moves up in weight, age and competition that they are now dealing with either elite fighters or elite trainers. This has happened over decade over decade over decade in boxing.
Manny is all hype becasue Marquez put him to sleep..well Marquez has also put 39 other men to sleep during his legendary career. By that notion you are stripping Marquez of credit for his ability and his talents. Anyone from 140 to 154 who would've gotten hit with that punch would've gone down the same way. PERIOD.
It's almost synonymous with the other morons who say "well floyd isn't a real fighter because he won't engage". Boxing is not a one size fits all business, there are many variants and many talented people involved. Maidana is a prime example...look at how much better the guy is as a fighter since he got a trainer that could teach him properly. So you aren't just fighting Maidana but also fighting his trainer. Just like you ain't just fighting Manny, you are also fighting Roach's ability as a teacher. Just like you aren't just fighting Floyd you are fighting SR and Rogers gifts, talents, teachings and expertise.
