    Pac did well for his age but he didn't look like a high level fighter, not even close.

    Even though Barrios isn't near elite, its still utterly embarrassing that he's fought a draw with a shot 46 year old that's trained 8 weeks in about 5 years.

    all it shows is winning a world title in this day and age really means nothing when there's so many belts around and the likes of Barrios can win one of them.

      I should say a ton of respect for Pac's performance but in no way did he deserve jumping ahead of a line of contenders who have fought in the last 4 years and deserved the shot. I'm not good with money grabs where contenders who earned their shot got kicked to the curb. That will never be right.

        Barrios is making bank on the low hanging fruit game.

          Agree. Pacquiao looked like an old man. I watched w no volume so wouldn't be influenced by the slurping. All I saw was Pacquiao getting his head popped back when Barrios decided to punch.

                I mean yeah, but who on this planet was honestly expecting a 46-year old who hasn’t fought in 5 years to look like an elite fighter?

                Most dudes in here 40 and beyond have beer guts and couldn’t play a pickup game of basketball at the local rec center without risking a heart attack.

                Pacquiao just went 12 rounds with a belt holder and damn near won, lol.

                  Don't know what is more surprising: Manny's performance or the fact that Barrios is a champion.

                    Manny won but it's always a business, Greedy rematch for more $.
