Remember, Manny didn't fight at 135 or 140 for very long. However, his rise in weight had nothing to do with any inability to make weight. There is much more money in the welterweight division than at 135 and 140 combined. Pacquiao is simply fighting naturally bigger men.
I know exactly why Manny Pacqauio isn't knocking fighters out anymore. The simple answer is that he peaked already. The man is 35 years old and he has over 60 professional fights, he's in the twilight of his career, and his athletic ability has shown a slight decline or at least its stagnate.
Blah blah blah...Manny was fighting these "bigger" guys on catch weights, hyrdration clauses and after they recently were beat up. DLH actually weighed less than Pacman on fight night. I mean c'mon, that's a joke. lol
Open your eyes for once folks.
Don't even get me started on the juice talk. But, I really don't care that pacman juiced. A lot of great boxers did.
People need to STOP acting like Pacman is like Mike Tyson. lol, he's not. Not even close.
Probably most fans dont know. But Pac's bone's in the left arms, the radius and ulna are thick as shown by the xrays.
also they seems to forget that as manny went up in weight, he also begun to box w/c affected the quantity of his volume punchin... try compare the barerra fight to the cotto fight....barrera has better mobility than cotto yet pac threw more punches than the cotto fight... cos those times, pac was all guns blazing rather than boxing... got no no other movement but forward, just in and no out....when roach became his trainer, he learned to move in and out and some lateral too... and that limits him to throw more punches, common sense, less punches less koes

really old news i know and i aint even sure why im posting this but many critics dont even bring up how devastating many pacquiao was eversince,, they say oh he stopped dopin so now he's willing to take the tests completely disregarding the fact thay manny is simply as huge a name as floyd,, also when manny stooped kmocking out guys, some forget to bring up fact that pac took guys who have never been kmocked out,, manny is the 2nd man to knock down mosley, clottey really was on the cover all night,, rios really is one tough SOB,, margarito? That chin for all we know is covered with plaster,, my point here is manny is clean and was never positive of any substance,, lets all enjoy his ride,, after all.. there wont be no other 8 division champ and 4 division lineal champ anytime soon,
KO number 2 is awesome, watch the guy's feet after that deadly left..
