I really don't know if JMM has a 'Rios but with a little more craft and adaptability' in him. As long a the Rios and Provodnikov wars didn't ruin Alvarado this is the kind of fight that could suddenly make JMM look very old.
    If Alvarado beats Marquez, that means Marquez is completely finished.

      Pac won decisively again but did not look good
      slow, bad balance, hurt by a featherfist, sloppy punches
      love Pac, he's our dude, but it's time to hang 'em up
      don't even bother with a 3rd fight with Bradley
      before he gets embarrassed by an undeserving guy, Pac better retire

He's fighting more on pride and will, and not skills. He'll still beat Marquez in a rematch for revenge, but then he should ride off into the sunset.
        he's fighting too tense right now thats one of the reason why he's getting clipped more and another has to do with his age. i believe he's fighting like this has a lot to do with his confidence level. like i said after the bradley rematch that pac will look a lot better in his next fight. give him some time to build his confidence back up. dude just got brutally ko, i dont care what pac says about how that ko is behind him. once he steps inside the ring i know that ko is still in his head. but mark my word he will look better in his next fight.

          I'd say Pacquiao is still on still clearly the number 2 guy at WW.

          Beat Bradley who was number 3, would go back and fourth with Marquez, would beat Devon, Thurman, Broner.

          So Pac has not declined at WW at all.

            ruslan was hurt by feather fist so was marquez. is manny suppose to be this unstoppable machine or something? when he's running thru guys its because he's on peds. now that he's reacting to the punches landed on him its because he's done now??

              manny has decline theres no question about that but he hasnt fallen off completely yet like everyone is making him out to be. he just beat bradley, sure there was no kd or ko but who has ever made bradley look like that in there? give pac some credit too.

                I agree, because I think his next fight will be Marquez, and he will be totally prepared for that. But what if his next fight is Alvarado or Ruslan? Will he be up for that? Sometimes a great fighter needs a GREAT opponent to bring out his best. Arum already ****** up the Floyd fight forever, but who can they put in front of him to challenge him? If not Marquez, I can only think of Mikey Garcia at a catchweight.

                  Ruslan's face was busted up, but he never looked really hurt
                  Marquez isn't even a real WW, of course he got hurt
                  that KO in Pac-JMM 4 took Pac's chin away
                  if Timothy Bradley can hurt Pac, it's a fucking problem
                  Pac walked right through shots from Cotto and Margarito before

                    It seems like Roach sees the handwritting on the wall. Actually, the other night reminded me of JMM-Pac IV in that the result kinda masked how bad the victor looked. Freddie appears to be a bit of a realist here. And for the first time public, he appears to be wanting to kinda shy away from a Floyd fight. Freddie likes to talk tough. But he's always known Floyd is a stylistic nightmare for Pac. But I'm pretty sure know he realizes that the things that Pac once had in his game that would give Floyd trouble are diminished. And not only would Pac be beaten, he'd be humiliated. And he'd be humiliated with a huge percentage of his of his boxing illiterate fanbase expecting something great from him.

                      Not so sure Manny would beat Maidana, Canelo, or Thurman. Manny is taking shots now, and if Bradley wasn't an as$hole, and stuck to the gameplan, he might have been in a draw.
