    Remember Pacquiao is a late bloomer and might peak when he fights Gayweather.

    Pacquiao by brutal KO in the 6th round.
    Brutal KO?

      Yeah isn't it funny that Pac had all those wars with Morales, Barrera and Marquez yet he looks fresh as a daisy and now he's only getting better as he gets older??? Meanwhile everyone else that were in wars are a shell of their former self? Hmmm Something must be in that Philippine water....

        Thats the slowest he has ever looked.

        His reflexes looked like they were slipping when he fought Casamayor and Diaz. I cant believe you said he looked much faster against Mayweather lmao.

          I never said that Pac looked old,...I was wondering whom people thought was the fresher fighter.

          Pac is in his prime now

          So is Mayweather

            its hard to measure speed when you are constantly being attacked as he was in the diaz fight. Vs Mayweather they both played the counter punching game. I dont think Marquez was as fast as he was @ 130 but he wasnt slow @ 142....

            I thought Marquez looked good..but Mayweathers defense was just superb.

              Nah I'm saying the reason he isnt worn out like most fighters that were in wars is because he's obviously doing something illegal.. Normal fighters arent the same after wars like that. **** some fighters arent the same after one war yet alone multiple wars like Pac had. That's just more proof that something is up with pac.

                Fighters from the first half of the twentieth century have more than 100 brawling fights. They must have something in their water too?

                  Froch's speed>JMM against Mayweather. The most shocking thing about that whole fight to me was how poor JMM hand speed was. Nacho actually said in the lead up to the fight how much the weight had slowed JMM speed.

                    Manny has been in some wars, but none since that 2nd JMM fight, so he has given his body some what a rest. He basically had his way with Diaz, Oscar & Hatton with little or none punishment taken, and even tho Cotto may of got him a couple of times, Manny was pretty much in control. Plus Manny hasn't had to cut not much if at all any weight in his fights he has pretty much been free to walk around at his normal weight which is 148 for the past year without the riggers of cutting.

                    Mayweather's 2 year retirment/break, was probably alot more to do with giving his hands a much needed rest, you saw the treatment he has to go thru to maintain them in the PBF/Hatton 24/7. The only time Floyd has been in trouble in the past few years was those early rounds against Zab but apart from that he is pretty much fresh.

                    I'll say Floyd is the fresher out of the 2 but really there isn't much in it tbh

                      marquez didnt look that bad against mayweather but mayweather doesnt get hit much at all. many people on this board said marquez was going to push give mayweather a challenge until the end result. mayweather is the fresher of he and pac.. he just came back off nearly a two year layoff and looked like he hasnt lost a step. the guy is in superb condition just like pacman. he hasnt lost anything.
