    Pacquaio really over it?

    People seem to think he is finished and not the same.

    Marquez kayod him but seriously it was because of his gung hu and reckless approach, 120-108'd rios and beat Bradley twice. He may not at his peak but certainly not as bad as some suggest here.

    Only people that think he's finished are the ones that want him to be finished. Obviously if you can clearly UD one of the top 5 P4P boxers on the planet just 2 weeks ago, you're not finished.

          Diminished but not done. He didn't just get by Bradley, he won convincingly.

            I would say past-prime, but not shot.

              He has slowed down considerably and his reflexes have gone. Other than that, he's the same fighter.

                this^^^^^^

                only few do not know that brawn and skills are not the only attributes that counts to excel in the sports, one also needs most importantly mental fortitude. A mark of a true champion ATG is how he can deal with adversities and come out winning time and time again, how he stand up after a fall. One cannot claim true greatness if he had not been to hell and back, never had tested the limits of his capabilities. A true great champ is one like a phoenix who always rise from the ashes and people knew who they are in boxing. those who pretended to be great but once met a true challenge and failed and never have the mental fortitude to recover and rise again faded from memories rarely remembered if not long been forgotten.

                  I am a huge Pacquiao fan but I think he should retire now. He wasn't very impressive against Bradley and reminds me of Oscar after he fought Mayweather. Remember that Tim Bradley just barely got by Ruslan Provodnikov. Manny can't pull the trigger anymore, and he's getting hit with a lot of counterpunches. Plus he's afraid of guys on the ropes now, see how Bradley taunted him?

                    If that ain't impressive. You need to understand boxing more.
