Can Pacquiao find "another fire"

[GhostBlade]

Pacquiao is freakin' 35 years old and has taken some major punishment. His fire has been extinguished long ago and all that is left is his talent but without the killer instinct and desire.

I just saw some 15 second clip of Pacman sparring Lydell Rhodes, and it was weird, like no contact. Manny is not going to fight aggressive against Bradley, from the clip he was circling and popping one two punches. He will box with Bradley, Pacman knows himself his chin is gone,if he trades with Bradley he will be knocked out.

Also why is Zab Judah and his father in camp with Pac? I saw Zabs father sitting on the table talking with Pac and Roach.

So you think pac chin is shot??

I agree on this one. His Rios performance would be the norm now.

I think he was being sarcastic with Timmeh. He was smiling and laughing. He believes he still has that fire he had coming up.

I think the Rios performance was fine. Too 'hyper disciplined' and never really stopping to exchange (except to grab), but he was coming off a savage KO to fight a guy with KO power. I think the movement template will be similar, but Pac will have far less of a reason to avoid exchanges in this fight. Frankly, if he can't muster the fire to try to avenge that 'L' he should hang up the gloves as he'll never have a better reason to take a fight. I both want and think that Pacquiao will win, but I can see Bradley getting a legit decision (and I'd be OK with that). I think Bradley is the #3 boxer in the world, behind Pacquiao and Mayweather (who I'll call #1 and #2 without actually saying who is #1 or #2), but with more years left in the sport than either.

Only a fool would think otherwise, its clear as day his chin is weak man, Rios hurt him so bad he was holding on for dear life.

The nolonger prime or no longer motivated excuse is just made up from those who have a hard time sleeping at night facing the reality that Pac is the same old Pac whose style was simply figured out and lost simply because he wasn't as good and bullet proof as his fan boys like to believe.

i dont know why but this post made me laugh

That's funny you say that. I laughed too.

I think it was the "Pac knows his chin is shot..."

The conviction.
