      Good points. There aren't many boxer/punchers that can. I suppose JMM, and maybe Spend Abazi but that division is lacking these kinds of fighters. Even at that Abazi is not a big puncher but comes close to the only guy that could maybe survive some heat while keeping his gameplan intact.

      Even at that he pressures alot so I dont know really.

          Pacquiao said that he is going to retire in boxing at the age of 30. He is 26 right now and turning 27 on December. He still has 3 years.

            I can almost guarantee that Pac will retire before the age of 30. He loves fighting but he has always mentioned the thought of finishing school. The guy is a fighter but he's a really a very intelligent person as well. My gut feeling is he might go into politics after he's finished with boxing and school. The guy loves to serve his people and speak in public. I was laughing when Manny had his little speech after the Merchant interview, a future politician in the making LOL.

              If someone can take his punches, then Pac better make sure his chin can survive 12 rounds.

              I'm still debating whether Pac's chin is suspect or not. His two KO losses were body punch KO's, does that make his chin weak? Although he took Morales' punches decently. About Velazquez, I'm not sure how big of a puncher he is.

                  I would say 3-4 years at most, but that means 3 or 4 more years of great fights.

                    Pac can fight like this for at least 5 more years. Don't listen to Steward and Lampley, 2 idiots from HBO who I enjoy listing to them.

                      I don't think a complete makeover is possible, but one thing is for sure he needs to get rid of Roach. I'm huge on Mcgirt if it were up to me I'd send everybody to his camp. The guy can flat out coach. I've seen the quickest turnaround from fighters that switched to him. As far as the question of how long he'll last in the game, well his pressure fighting style and the fact that he throws every thing hard he's going down burnout alley, he needs to learn to how to throw changeups more often.
