    If Pacquiao stayed at the lower weight classes 140 and below

    Would he have remained unbeaten from 2005 - 2019?

    Probably not as he had flaws and somebody was going to exploit them, he dodged a bullet with Raheem way back because that style beats Manny.

    And if he stayed in the lower weights he would never have got as big as he did without the Mayweather rivalry.

      Yes

      He'll be wrecking opponents left & right. He's got a knuckle size of a 7 footer person

        Because I feel like he is giving too much of a size disadvantage to his opponents and that mainly caused most (not all) of his losses in the WW division. He always dominates when he fights someone close to his size.

          Prime pac did better at higher weight class than the lower tbh.

          Lower weight class his speed advantage was less.

          These 147 guys were too slow and couldn't keep up with his workrate.

          Even at 43 he's too fast for these 147 guys, problem now is he doesn't have the workrate.

            What an incredible run from 2003 to 2021.

            im still in shock and awe how he has fought at a high level.

            We’ll never see anyone like him again.

              He was hurting pac.

              Pac was wincing a lot.

              Even with blocked punches.

              Pac still has the speed but not the reflexes or workrate.

              But he is shot.

              I'd like to see him in another fight.

              Sometimes these old guys, they look shot one fight but look prime next fight.

              You just don't know what you're gonna get.

              Id like to see 2 bad showings before forcing the guy to retire.

                No! Pac reached his peak at 147. From 2008-2011, he was simply unbeatable. Had he fought a smaller and quicker man in there Saturday night then chances are he would have been stopped.

                He couldn't avoid eating the same punches over and over again from a naturally larger and slower Yordenis Ugas; Who has a very low punch volume, workrate and output. Father time has simply caught up to Manny.

                Pac now looks like a shot fighter. He can no longer move his head or feet to evade the incoming fighter power. Had Ugas landed at least twice the amount punches that he landed on Saturday night; Then there would have been the distinct possibility of him hurting Pac and knocking him out.

                  What size he was bigger than them weight-wise, type into google images Manny Pac tale of the tape and read the numbers in the early fights weighin and fight night weights.
