Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao is Not The Same Guy Who Fought Hatton

besides the KO, the 4th Marquez fight was the last time manny looked really good tbh.

Manny looked real good in that fight, outside of the KO that was the best he looked since his Marg. fight

After that fight...he was almost completely different

They'll say Bradley was juicing if he wins.

Lol. They'll find a pic of teddy atlas in the same room as Alex Aliza from 1999.

I thought Manny looked real good against Chris Algieri and Rios??? This kind of suks seeing this decades best fighters retiring like Floyd and Pac. Hopefully some of these up and comers can fill the void let by these two HOFAMERS...

I think I'm gonna buy this fight? Can't believe Top Rank is gonna have a decent undercard for the first time in like ever.

7 years ago. No shit.

All these folks talking about how past-it Manny is are full of ****. No 37yr old is what he was physically in his physical prime. But during all of this "decline" Manny has still pretty much outclassed top competition. With the exception of a guy in JMM that has always given him a tough time. And a guy in Floyd who's just a better fighter. Manny is still arguably the best welterweight in the world. And arguably still one of the top 10 P4P fighters on ths planet. If that's washed up, we should all be so blessed.

the only real difference in Manny is his punch output has dropped and he seems a little more cautious since the Marquez ko

I may also have noticed a drop off in his training intensity ?

Not sure, Pac's camp always says he trains real good, Freddie said it again in this article, but he seemed in slightly better condition with Ariza.

When it comes to Manny and boxers, not sure if it's a good idea to fight the same guy over-and-over again.

WAR Pac !

Amazing photo! Two friends, two boxing legends.

I dunno, seems to be training ok ?

And I think Manny is not real since he started the politician thing. He's not a full time boxer since then, his motivation isn't the same. The Manny I see since then isn't a fighter whose destiny in life is to be the best, this Manny doesn't really care if he lose, he just like boxing, it is just fun for him. With this mentality, without the real FIRE, you can't be the best.
