There is no way he thinks he can come back and beat any top 10 WW. He looks bad....
- - Not as bad as l'l floydy getting battered from pillar to post by Logan Paul by promising his followers a KO inside 2 rounds. Looked like a clubfighter, the whole reason he ducked the lucrative Manny rematch where he needed his Vegas Commish to rejigger the official scorecards along with a 2 week backdated TUE...:hitit:
He still wants pac v ennis. He wants pac face down once more for good times sake, for good old days
I want the best fight for my entertainment value. Also, I don’t think Barrios is a PPV worthy opponent.
You two just want an easy win for your hero.
Big Dunn is probably somewhere doing the safety dance

Pac looked great for a 45 year old retired legend! And he even showed flashes of his younger self near the end of that third. Wow! Not easy to compete at that age against someone much younger and bigger. Truly an inspiration for all. :boxing::boxing:
I don’t know if this is sarcasm or not. Im a big fan and he did not look great at all.. he was stumbling around, off balance, unsure what to do, and was getting tagged by an unknown fighter with 8 losses and a novice boxer. Cmon now.. it’s really best to let go and not go back to the pros anymore
That was very bad. Hopefully an eye opener to never return in the pros. I’m glad it was a hard fight though, if it was a cherry pick smaller fighter it would have given him and his team confidence to actually push for the barrios fight lol
He not like Floyd to where he can have exhibition matches, and do well. Floyd has unusually long arms, fast and great timing
Floyd doesn't fight 3x2min rds. Dumb management by team Pacquiao. Floyd knows MMA guys and Youtubers can't fight going back and can't take body punches.
At 45 I doubt his reflexes are still there. Like every other retired superstar they feel good in the gym but once they are in the actual ring it reveals everything.

Yup its clear father time has caught up to him. His legs are gone and so are his reflexes. He got out boxed quite easily granted the Japanese had a huge size and reach advantage and used it quite well. Hopefully he stays retired. The talks with mario barrios are hopefully over.
Maybe he should have cherry picked a guy 6 divisions down like Mayweather.
It might also be one of the few sports where being a better athlete is actually often not beneficial to longevity compared to lesser athletes.
if you're a great athlete like Pacquiao who relied on great explosivity or you're a fighter that relies on great agility and reactions, then your age becomes more detrimental to your ability than it would for a big punching fighter just looking to land one big shot, a là old Foreman.
100%. Some of those incredibly gifted athletic fighters develop habits of doing things they shouldn't that lesser gifted athletes would never imagine doing. As the reflexes and speed go, the bad habits often remain. Roy Jones, Jr. is one that immediately comes to mind.
Boxing is an unforgiving sport. He's racked up alot of kilometers on the odometer of his body.
