    pac was only 18 yrs. old fighting a solid top 10 ranked flyweight veteran with 30-40 pro fight experience.

    18 years ago..... damn pac is old. how is he still fighting? especially with his style.

      just finished part 2, pacquiao hurt to the body a couple of times and looks to be gassing a bit

      he was a good fighter already here, but you can see how the weight affected him

      and his longevity is amazing, for a guy that started at 16 you'd think he'd be burned out like duran and most mexicans and just show up out of shape or be retired by now, maybe his secret is that he isn't in the gym unless if it's for the training camp

        you know..... pac speed and power and stamina is all from peds.
        thats not the argument that floyd fans are saying. At least dont spin it.

          Before coming to the United States, Pacquiao fought several Jeff Fenech trained Australian fighters. Nedal Hussein was one, Todd Makelin was another.

          Brawler Flyweight Pacquiao here with brutal body punches.

          Pacquiao has awesome body punching but he rarely throws them. Great coaching there, Freddie The Joke Coach Roach.....

            oh please. floyd fans always act like pac's speed and power come from peds.

            pac didn't even have a weights/conditioning coach til fortune. that was like mid-2000's.

              everyone likes to nitpick his technique.

              but dude's amateur career was basically filipino versions of TOUGH MAN competitions.

              he didn't have a real trainer til roach tbh.

                were you here pre-pacquiao-cotto?

                i remember when cotto fans were saying marg hurt cotto with uppercuts and pacquiao didn't have an uppercut.

                it was so sweet when pac dropped cotto with an uppercut.

                    Speaking of uppercuts.

                    Pacquiao fought several 3K Battery fighters from Thailand.

                    Chokvivat was one, Fahsan 3K battery was another.

                    Skip to around the 21:00 minute mark.

                    Two beautiful uppercuts.

                      Again, that's not their argument. I've heard their stance before from many different floyd fans... All go back to the same thing. And it wasn't about him having those characteristics at the lower weights either. Try again.

                      Was it sweet when Pacquiao was visitiong Mr. Sandman?
