Is Pacquiao really slowing down?

This question reminds on the minds of the people who are fans of boxing. The iconic pound for pound Manny Pacquiao had suffered a controversial loss against young Timothy Bradley on his latest fight.

We all know that Pacquiao is starting to gain age and this would affect someone's performance and physical abilities. Some great boxers who lived to there prime would also experience this and this is quite natural since we are all human beings.

Is Pacquiao really slowing down? Since most of his recent fights went to distance and no more early round stoppage or Knockouts. But based on his last fights he was able to dominate major rounds. The Bradley fight he controlled and dominated almost all rounds. Pacquiao dictated the fight from round 1 up to round 9 by which Timothy Bradley admitted he got hurt on those rounds.

People might be saying different conclusions since they were get used to seeing Pacquiao dominating and ending his foes with brutal Knockouts. But never the less Pacquiao is still showing that speed and stamina he has to last up to 12 rounds of non stop boxing.

And this people are saying he is slowing down and the irony of it is when you look at pacquiao's last fight which all went to 12 rounds.

For me on that event were Bradley won their match. Honestly boxing died on that night on Las Vegas!
