It's crazy how much better Pacquiao is than Donaire. Even though he's got more wear and tear and is older and clearly past his prime.
When I look at how badly Donaire lost to Magdaleno, I have to look back at Donaire's earlier fights to reevaluate him. Questions arise such as : was he really as good as people said? That's how bad it's gotten for Donaire.
That never even crossed my mind with Manny. Because Manny is fighting a lot more careful now that he did before to compensate for his declining physical abilities. His volume has decreased. He's changing and adapting. Donaire is not.
