the right hand that manny walked into in the 6th was a huge punch
the right hand that dropped him early on was not. he'd eat that punch up in his prime. when i saw him go down from that punch, and look that badly shaken, i felt that we were seeing the first bit of concrete evidence that pacquiao is past his prime. i have felt as if his legs have been slipping in his last few fights, but that's to be expected even if the punches aren't catching up to you.
it's amazing to think that pacquiao only just turned 34.
pacquiao has 371 rounds as a pro.
61 fights.
and as ray corso pointed out, the man is in hard fights. he's always bumped up. recently, outside of marquez, he's been fighting huge guys. he used to eat big punches. his chin was great, but it's been cracked now.
