    If you just look at it simplistically.

    A 44 year old coming out of retirement who’s last professional win was 3 and a half years ago. I think that speaks for itself.

      I remember manny was already fading in the 2nd half YEARS AGO against Broner. Stamina trouble VS a guy that seldom throws punches

      would be a long night Terence, GGG, or Errol.

        Every great fighter has one last great performance in them. Pacquiao’s was against Thurman. The well is dry now. I always worried Pac would continue far too long like Duran did, it’s a lot harder to retire when your a hero to an entire nation. I was relieved when he retired but supposed comeback talk is worrying.

          He said it himself before his final fight boxing is his passion

            If Pac, @ 44, wants to talk crazy and attempt to back it up, which I doubt, he deserves the beating he gets.
            If, and that's a huge if, Pac does fight one of them, he will get brutalized (unless they show mercy on him. I don't see Dud going easy on Pac).

              Pacquiao has been a shadow of himself even before Floyd finally grew a pair and fought him

              the version that fought Thurman must have been like a 20% of a prime Pacquiao

              current ancient, shot to **** Pacman would get demolished by top tier welters and even lose to chumps he would have absolutely flattened in his prime

              Pacquiao might still have the heart of a warrior, but the necessary tools and equipment are gone. Please stay retired

                Not only any elite, but even just good fighters.

                I think Pacquiao still destroys someone like David Avanesyan, but if he goes up a level like Ugas, he loses handily.

                  It's sad that Manny is even talking this up...and Spence knows this.

                    Was about to post something similar Pac beating Thurmans ass like that was a great win but definitely the last bit he had left before father time showed up finally
