Did Pacquiao PEAK LATE?

Young Pacquiao was quick and limited skillwise. Very 1 dimensional. - -Dumb Science was thick and limited to alchemy. Very lead poisoning...

Morales was the oldest 30 year old I've seen in my lifetime. The first fight with Manny was his last hurrah. He was done after that. Far too many wars in a short amount of time. Morales had to move up in weight and couldn't beat up smaller guys anymore.

Maybe if you gave a damn to do your research BEFORE opening your keyboard u might not need to comment. Morales was 108/6 as a AMATEUR. Yes that’s means BEFORE he was a professional. By the time he met Pac he already had 148 fights under his belt and lost twice to Barrera. His PRIME fighting weight was well UNDER 126. So their was 2 strikes against him AND HE STILL WHIPPED A PRIME PAC. After Pac he lost quite a lot. His body was done. I know it’s hard for fat, old, couch potatoes with ZERO understanding of the sweet science. Morales was the oldest 30 year old I've seen in my lifetime.

Thank you, numerous people on this site have stated how Julio Chavez was "past his prime" when he lost to Frankie Randall because he had "80 fights". Chavez was fighting guys 1-3 like every 2 weeks, which is the reason he had 80 fights. Some guys can fight well into their 80's if they keep fighting stiffs.

I will. I have copied and paste a link where I got it from. I recommend watching the whole video, it's only two minutes or so, and it's just the most unintentionally funny performance ever to me - Chris Klein -Playing Nash in Street Fighter. At the end, he says Nash out, which I read from an interview with him that he came upon with that little bit, and he just seemed so proud of it, it's just funny to me. Nash out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id7DLq7bpTw Lol..... now every time I see you post I'm going to picture you as Chris Klein :lol1:

Oh. I must say it has grown on me. Please sign off more with it. Mike D out. I will. I have copied and paste a link where I got it from.

I don't sign every post off with Nash out. Maybe half of them. Oh. I must say it has grown on me. Please sign off more with it. Mike D out.

That step in with his hands low and KO by Marquez wouldn't have happened if he had the boxing IQ he has today That's a great point, and I agree. That KO changed him...amazingly for the better in some ways. He's a smarter boxer now after that. He doesn't hang around in the pocket as long or hazardly jump in like that anymore. I think he got away with it so many times that he just got to a point to where he felt like he'd never truly pay for that...until he did. Manny is much more of a boxer after that -- more careful but still calculated. He's still aggressive offensively but he's a lot more selective on when to fire his offense off. He's a highly underrated boxer and anyone who truly believes he is one dimensional simply does not know boxing.

- -Da dumass be strong in U case...:rolleyes: Deep down, I know that you respect Nash and his views.

Dan was right in this case. I consider myself to be a world-class scorer of boxing fights, and I had it 118-110 Mayweather TBE. My sig is worthy of respect. Nash out. - -Da dumass be strong in U case...:rolleyes:

Why didn't you sign off with "Nash out" on this post I don't sign every post off with Nash out. Maybe half of them.

I agree Grandpa Bernard. Good examples of superior skilled boxers too. Why didn't you sign off with "Nash out" on this post

He was faster in his younger days, but I don't care what anyone says, he always seemed desperate, eager and too open. In his last fights he's looked at his mental sharpest and that's enough often times for fighters who are heavy handed with good boxing skills (e.g. Foreman). That step in with his hands low and KO by Marquez wouldn't have happened if he had the boxing IQ he has today. I truly believe the best is yet to come.

he didnt peak late.. he got that asian gene.. a 40 year old asian will look a lot younger than a 40 year white person.

When a guy spends the bulk of a time period fighting stiffs, the aging process stops. Only when a person is up against tough opposition do they ''age''. It's the same song GGG fans are singing.

you can lie but videos don't lie. Look at the short video clip in my sig on how easy pac landed those hard shots..... Dan was right in this case. I consider myself to be a world-class scorer of boxing fights, and I had it 118-110 Mayweather TBE. My sig is worthy of respect. Nash out.

Mayweather dominates Pacquiao in impressive victory by Dan Rafael The reason why the fight was what it was is because Mayweather, a five-division champion, is just that great. He may not be "TBE" ("the best ever," as he calls himself), but he's way up there and he proved once again that he is the best of his time, a fighter so far superior to everyone in his era that he can basically do as he pleases and outbox anyone. So, yeah, it was not a great, fan-friendly fight, but it was Mayweather at his master boxer best as he rolled to a fairly dominant win in the legacy fight of his career before a sold-out crowd of 16,507 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mayweather firmly established that he is the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. His only true competition was Pacquiao, the 36-year-old Filipino legend and boxing's only eight-division titleholder. As it turned out, it wasn't really much of a competition: https://www.espn.com.au/boxing/story/_/id/12816686/mayweather-dominates-pacquiao-impressive-victory you can lie but videos don't lie.

Mental strength aside from pure talent. Add to this, he developed this early when he didn't have proper nutrition, not even a legit trainer.

That's what boxing GOAT is made of. Just look at pac-floyd even with just one healthy arm he easily dominate floyd imagine if he was healthy in that fight.
