    His movement was horrible. Nothing like circa 2009.
    Pacquiao has never been able to cut off the ring and he was facing one of the best counter punchers ever. But of course that had nothing to do with it.

      But he was just following him in straight lines. And more generally, he was flat footed, as he has been in his last few fights.

      Manny of old was always bouncing all over the place, always on the balls of his feet going side to side.

      His legs may have aged worse than Floyds.

        Again, he was flat footed. He wasn't bouncing around like he used to and hasn't for the last few fights.

          floyd barely landed at all, he had some good rounds but never landed anything big

          when he started using his left hooks and jabs(around the 7th) he did have a moment where he threw about 3-4 of them in a row and they were scoring blows, nothing really clean or big though

              Its hard to throw when Floyd's upper body movement makes him a hard target, Pac only tee'd off in the early rounds when he hurt Floyd and he just stood still next to the ropes in his high guard defense eating punches.

                The left hook in general started to really find it's mark later on in the fight. 2010 Floyd would have put a real hurting on Manny.

                  i thought he cut off the ring exceptionally well tonight, i mean for someone who doesn't clinch and isn't looking to fight inside, he really didn't follow floyd at all, or not much anyway if he did

                    somebody that gets it, people think floyd would be there covering up everytime he had his back to the ropes, but he was even harder to hit when on the ropes, pacquiao's effective work came away from the ropes

                    and when floyd established his left hand it became even harder for pacquiao to get off, rushing in like a ****** wasn't gonna help him, floyd was gonna turn him all night, he needed to pick his spots
