What happened is that pacquiao is 35, the pacquiao that crushed cotto and hatton would have stopped bradley in 8. It's obvious pacquiao doesn't have the reflexes and speed he once had, bradley wouldn't have been able to touch a 29 year old pacquiao.

He was hesitant to engage especially after Bradley hurt him in the 3 Rd, he missed with quite a lot of shots even when Bradley had his hands down and was tagged quite easily. I do think the Marquez KO is still in the back of his head and that can be deadly if he faces Marquez next. What do you guys think? Did you pick up these signs as well?

Lost at least a step. Total output lower than 600.
More hesitant as getting hit flush more often.
BUT still beat Bradley (to me the 2nd time).
He got TWO ....maybe THREE fights left. We seen fighters age "overnight" in the next fight..who knows.

I am going to go with he got older, plus while I think he has taken care of himself reasonably well over the last couple years but for a time there he was partying it up pretty good and along with the ring wear he has suffered from being an offense first guy his tread is naturally wearing out.
He is still a great fighter though, just slowing down a bit physically

Pac just a top 5 p4p fighter who on official was undefeated, how many fighters nowadays can do that?
If arum plans pushes through, he'd be fighting another top 10 p4p fighter in marquez.
Now, tell who the #1 p4p fighter is fighting next and when did he fight two p4p fighters consecutively?

Manny fought smart. Not only did Bradley throw several haymakers to try to KO Pacquiao, but he said he would go for the KO beforehand. Manny learned from the Marquez fight; get careless, get KO'd. Also, whenever anyone loses a fight by KO, everyone thinks they can get lucky and suddenly, they have the courage to go for the KO too. Fighting is not only about skill and ability, it's also about confidence and courage.
