Manny Pacquiao's decline has been greatly over-exaggerated: A look at recent fights.

[KING MEAT]

I watched pac-rios then pac-cotto last night.

I saw 2 different mannys.

the one who fought cotto was a fcking fearless monster.

He has declined but he's still 85-90% of what he was when he fought cotto

[hugh grant]

He is past prime but past prime Pac is still better than most. Its debateable whether anyone would have looked as good against Rios as Pac did.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

it might not be as exaggerated as some make it out to be but, he has indeed declined..most of that has been aided by his now-gone killer instinct

[Fooliun_Smaxon]

Manny will KO Bradley. Mark them.

**PEOPLE LET ME FROM THE OUT SET SAY THAT THIS THREAD IS NOTHING TO DO WITH FLOYD** So lets refrain from a handbag fight boys lol

People say Manny has declined since the evisceration of Antonio Maragarito so let us look at his fights since then:

2011 Shane Mosley- He won 11 of 12 rounds with the only round being lost involving a false knock down. The Iron Jawed Warrior Mosley was put down very very hard by a left hand early in the fight. Only the second time in his career Mosley had been down.

2011 Juan Manuel Marquez- Great performance by Marquez. Manny lost 8-4 and was outboxed for the majority of the fight but benefited from the robbery decision.

2012 Timothy Bradley- Great performance by Manny who won 9-3 by my score, but unfortunately was robbed himself this time. People over look the fact that Manny conclusively beat a guy who is now no. 3 p4p, a top level guy.

2012 Marquez 4- What a fight. As Nacho Beristain said, the hard right hand that knocked Manny down early "awakened the beast". Manny's killer instinct returned and he was winning until he got his lights turned out.

2013 Brandon Rios- Beautiful outboxed a lesser opponent. Sensational whooping



As you can see the decline just is not there. Pacquiao is still a top 2 P4P talent and the beast shall return for a few last throw downs, mark my words.

Skimmed over what was written, and it was hard to get by you saying it was a "great performance" against bradley. I know the subject is in regards to Manny's decline, but that was not a great performance against Bradley. Mediocre at best.

fraud jr thinks otherwise, he's still scared to death of pac.

[Larry the boss]

Yea i agree Manny is still in his prime

[sugarsmosley]
