Amazing how well Pacquiao is still able to compete this well at his age

You would think that a fighter with his style that’s reliant on his speed, aggression, and offensive output would no longer be able to compete at the age of 40. Especially after a few setbacks with losses but still come back again as champion. Says a lot about his greatness. I do wish he can hang them up, but it’s still mesmerizing to see him be able to fight this well given his age and decline. 2 more fights at least and call it a career. I’m amazed how a 40 year old senator can still look this good. Who knows, it’s possible that he can beat the top WW champs. Although that would be a very tall order, wouldn’t surprise me if he pulls that off. Pac really does remind me of the great Roberto Duran.

This deserves a bump. Pacquiao really is a once in a lifetime fighter. What a legend! Maybe once ever. At 40 yrs old, 70+ fights and to still compete and beat the top young fighters today is incredible.

You are going to far. Porter lost in close fight against Thurman. Does it mean Thurman is B- as well? Who is A at 147, on you opinion? Crawford, Spence? Joke right? Looks like DAFAN thinks Thurman is B- since Porter is B- lol Thurman was in a close fight with Porter. Tells you how fans can easily under rate and over rate a fighter.

So NO ONE HERE see's that Manny was wrestlefuked by Horn and was allowed to and now he is old. Even Margarito etc weren't allowed to wrestlefuk Pac back then.... People need to stop with this crap about Horn being able to do what ever he wants. Do any of you have any grappling or greco wrestling background ? I do, people hanging on you wears you down FAST. Horn would of never been allowed to do that in Vegas. Some people just can't look at that fight with two eyes, there was nothing exceptional about it but to excuse Manny shoot is made up.

BH was supposed to be good as old man. But bh didn't have pacs resume. Didn't start pro as young..One of reasons bh was able to perform advanced age cos he started late, was he in prison? Plus never had 70 fights and start at fkyweights. Flyweight are usually done by 30 prime by 28. This is why anyone with ounce of sense can see Pac s best of era.

Bump. Still hard to believe that Pac is pretty much the last fighter standing from the previous era, and he's still kicking ass. A once in a generation type fighter.

I ran my mouth about Manny even before he beat Barrera. U could just see it. He’s only 40, and one of the best in history. Always stayed in shape. The only thing shocking is anyone thinking Broner had a chance against Manny. Let’s see manny vs a top 147. Can still out hustle people.

B is quite a high grade currently! We don't have any A/A+ grade fighters right now. Pac used to be A-. Question marks on everyone. There are a few with the potential to be great and others who won't come close to that. They need to prove themselves a little more and stop fighting pedestrians. Pacquiao A- LOL

limited matchmaking has extended manny's boxing career in recent years manny used to eat guys like Horn for breakfast. The manny last night took no bodyshots and faded for the first time. Any of the elite welters minus Garcia would have beat manny last night. So NO ONE HERE see's that Manny was wrestlefuked by Horn and was allowed to and now he is old. Even Margarito etc weren't allowed to wrestlefuk Pac back then.... People need to stop with this crap about Horn being able to do what ever he wants.

Let's rate him after he proves himself against some more stiff challenges. Lopez isn't one. So, Thurman doesn't count now. yes we do. tank davis

Pacquiao is a legend and one of the best fighters ever.

He got roughed up and pushed around by Jeff Horn. The school teacher. Now that he doesn't have the starpower to drain the life out of bigger opponents, he is done competing at the highest level. Spence would brutalize Pac, that fight is as likely to happen as Pac/Canelo. I do wish he would fight Loma though, he'd derail that hype train.

Don't be surprised if Pac manages a win against these so called elite WW even at this age. Time and time again he's defied all odds, and yet there's still people who will find excuses. But the fact is that Pac is a once in a lifetime fighter. He's showed us why he's an ATG.

Pac will not be a FIGHTER OF THE DECADE if he's not that great. Pac is an unbelievable fighter coming from nothing to become a phenomenal fighter.

The last truly elite fighter that Manny beat was Bradley three years ago. Beating a guy like Broner isn't really that impressive. Pacquiao looks good for a 40 year old but he's definitely no Bernard Hopkins or Archie Moore. Yeah you're right he's not because pac is much better than them.

You and people like you are the very reason Hype is a word. Can't accept the truth? lmao.
