How the hell did Manny Pacquiao get jacked again at 40 years old?

Is it muscle maturity? dude is thick and muscular with veins popping out what I notice is the muscle thickness especially in the shoulders he never had capped shoulders like that or thickness. I remember for a good few years he was looking frail it was during the Bradley fights he wasn't as jacked and looked old This was taken yesterday wtf? Im thinking maybe Thurman saying Manny you can take all the peds you want I dont care, motivated Manny, and manny said ok I will. Chinese are not know for being muscular Manny must be a freak genetically or taking some supplements to get that type of muscles and bone density, Most of the chinese I see look frail like Zou Shimings and dont have a square jaw or thick structure like Pacman. https://photo.boxingscene.com/uploads/manny-pacquiao%20(4)_60.jpg

A 40 year old can still look good superficially but his reflexes and stamina can be compromised. Look to see how his reflexes and stamina compare to 5 years ago to see if he still has it.

If a guy is taking and passing tests, what more do fight fans want ? Pac took no tests for the matthysse fight and was rocking and dropping him at will, he took tests for broner and couldn't drop him only staggered him twice in the fight. Now he looks jacked again like he did in the matthysse fight, and no drug testing for this fight. Thurman will win though, because peds dont help that chin, at 40 pacs punch resistance is gone.

He started losing muscle size after he stopped working with Alex Ariza somerime aeound 2012 2013. Leading up to the Floyd fight he was really small abd he wasn't as lean as he used to be. The performances also changed, whether all of these changes happened due to aging or due to training changes or due to steroids, we'll never know. The only thing that was a bit suspicious is the fact that he looked a little different against Matthysse in the Phillipines where was no drug testing if I could remember. But other than that you can always blame it on age.

Jacked? Did you mean swoll, yolked? My vocabulary can’t keep pace with younger dudes. So, pac is on swoll, yolked up like a mofo?

Yeah, pac is so small compared to a welterweight, he's like a 135lbs boxer. It's a bit worrying. A month to go and he's looking extremely small in his recent training, I've never seen Pacquiao looked so small at this stage of his training, maybe it's not just the old age which is causing him to lose this much of muscle mass, maybe he's also over-training and no one can stop him until he eventually cramps yet again.

I've seen ripped men at 60+ Kinda weird seeing them all ripped with 8 packs and have white hair and beards at the same time. My observation is that he looked smaller now than in his prime. Maybe because he used to bounce that much in his prime? Recently, he's a little flat footed. Broner is 5'6 but Pac looked 5'4 in there. I think his muscle density finally settled comfortably at 147. For his height and frame, he should be fighting at 135. He's the smallest welterweight. Pac is def the smallest welterweight but he is not smaller than he was, he weighs more its natural as you age, that is why he is more flat footed. He is thicker now, you can see it in his shoulders and his legs are too big now, he always had huge calves but now he has to wear those compression socks.

Bernard Hopkins was just entering his prime at that age. Yeah but B hop was not a high volume offensive workhorse, he was a technical crafty defensive fighter. There is an interview with B hop saying how when you reach 30 to 35 all the offensive explosive guys fall by the wayside while he and other crafty vets can continue because they dont fight on athleticism or speed they use their wits and experience. Hopkins even questioned Pacmans drop off in ferocity a few years ago, but recently Pacman has had a resurgence in a higher work rate and aggression, something is odd here

Manny definitely isn't Chinese. And going by his physical appearance, I'd say that, genetically, he's probably more Oceanic than Oriental. By Oceanic I'm talking about people like the Samoans, Papuans, Polynesians, Maoris, Australian Aboriginals, etc. I thought he is a pygmy?

My recent observation is that he has gotten smaller, could be from the lost of muscle mass because of age. There are legit videos all over the internet with his recent training. If you're his fan, this is worrying because he looks so small recently. Yeah, pac is so small compared to a welterweight, he's like a 135lbs boxer.
