    His new style is due to age (less cardio) and being smarter, it will extend his career.

      I prefer this new Manny

      He outboxes the other guy, but we all know that there's a whole another level that Manny can turn into if the fight turns in a brawl

        There is nothing new about this Pacquiao, it's nothing I haven't seen before. He fought with more caution against Marquez going into their 3rd fight and it got him outboxed. It may work against the level of opposition he is facing right now but he'd have to bring back his old aggressiveness if he wants to beat the likes of Marquez or Mayweather.

            the best manny looked against juanma was in the fight he got ktfo.

            the worst juanma looked against pac was the one he won.

            but it's lost on some of the newbs here.
            Been saying this as well but sadly that doesn't want to get acknowledged because of Marquez hooking up with Heredia. That's the slowest Marquez has ever looked.

              THIS^^^ Marg. is gonna make u earn a win over him....Mosley damn near had to kill him to beat him...and he still was getting up...the corner had to save him from himself

                the old pac would have made algieri jump over the top of the ropes and run into the locker room crying for his moms

                pac broke margaritos face literally, almost blinded him nd retired him.
                pac felt remorse nd doesnt wna do that to anybody. this is their job, to feed their families. manny doesnt wanna kill anyone. mannys actually kind hearted, which makes him being such a beast in the ring such an anamole

                  Most definitely. Marg was his toughest fight even after his KO loss to Marquez. Marg did more damage to Pac in the long run.

                    too much muscle.

                    his punches and movement weren't crisp.

                    but it helped him throw those thudding punches.

                      That being said, he could have taken Algeiri out if he kicked up a gear but I can understand why he didn't. It's pretty easy for boxing fans to scream ''Go for the KO,'' but Pacquiao would have seen that the guy wasn't fit to lace his boots. To that end, I can understand why he'd feel cruel trying to beat him unconscious.
                      Exactly he's 36 years old which is considered old in boxing years. He can't be that aggressive guy who constantly attacks for 12 rounds anymore.
