How slow has Pac really become now that he is 42? (VIDEO)

[Left Hook Tua]

He lost like around 30% of his speed. But it seems it has nothing to do with age but his body finally acclimated to the 147 pound division.

What he lost in age was his dynamism. But you could argue that he became less dynamic and more conservative after the Marquez KO.

That KO loss may have been a blessing in disguise cos it prolonged his career.

His timing/accuracy is a little off

Not enough to not land but enough to not land in the sweet spot

Speed is still there

[Jimmy 23]

lol so affected.. Nothing to do with the topic.

I've been clear in my posts I see this as a 50/50 fight. Pac can lose here.. I'm not like Floyd fan boys that put Floyd in a pedestal of fake reality that he can never lose.

Secondly, I have given Marquez props for winning their 4th fight with Pacquiao, but Floyd didn't win in the Castillo fight 1, Maidana 1, and the Pacquiao fight. I'm saying this to show I give props to real wins. Marquez did. That was a real win.

Anyway. Stay on topic. You can say what you want about Pac's speed. It's the topic in my thread.

Floyd ruined your life

Pacquiao was never the most tactical or creative fighter in my opinion. Like the way racing car drivers evolve in their careers, maybe Pacquiao has evolved in being able to read a fight 'Know when to attack, defend, push and anticipate' It was the ability to read a fight and anticipate his opponents moves which made Mayweather appear to have more speed than he actually did etc

Mayweather was more eroded than Pacquiao when they fought. The pure athletic only area Mayweather was better in was movement.

But even still Mayweather appeared to just be operating 1 level above Pacquiao 'Like a snooker player 3 shots ahead of the game'.

Pacquiao may have improved in these areas 'If he can land on Thurman, he can land on Spence Junior'.

Note: Pacquiao needs to somehow get himself back in that condition or even better i.e The condition for the Keith Thurman fight.

Current pac is 70% of a 2009-2010 pac.

He hasn't fought for two years, but back in the Thurman right, that was prime Pac. He hadn't lost anything. I will assess him during the Spence fight and let you all know if he is still prime Pac or not. Nash out

Yes we know Floyd's strength is movement, running hugging, spoiling. And even though has fast hands punching is not a strong point, no combinations, little power.
Pac is slower now but he still hits hard and combinations are there and has experience so he has a lot going for him, PACs not easy to hit also
