Can Pacquiao even at this age unify 147?

[Redd Foxx]

He'll stop Vargas easy, he'll beat Kell Brook on points to, but the question is can he beat Thurman?

Agreed (mostly). I think Vargas is going to bring a fight but Pac will win. Garcia's timing has slipped too much for him to catch Pac today, IMO. Brook has nothing for Pacquiao. Thurman is good, but he barely edged a predictable Shawn Porter. I see him struggling to find a rhythm against the awkward Pac.

The thing for me is, Pac has looked very good, even in his late 30's, but when is that going away? It would take at least 2 years to get these fights done and what if he ages overnight, or ages at all (which is almost inevitable)? As much as I would love to see him do something amazing like that, I think I respect him enough that I'd rather see him be healthy for his family, charitable work, politics, etc.

I think he could pull it off ...and then go out with a huge fight against Canelo.........and i honestly think he has a chance at beating him aswell

I'm 100% sure Pacquaio isn't here to unify the division lol, he's here for one more big payday, many people aren't seeing this fight but I'm expecting Canelo/Pacquaio to be announced for May 6, 2017. 2 Million PPV's easy at 80$ a peice (160M) and a 35 million live gate, that's almost 195M Pacquaio can at least make 60 million and go into the sunset, many people aren't expecting it but I think it will happen

No way pac fights Canelo at the full 154

Roach already said they're willing to fight Canelo at 154 but with a fight night weight cap

Yea, I think he'd be a fool to do it. Pac was considering going back to 140 last year and I fully believe he could have done it.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure Canelo couldn't do 150 and I'm not confident that he could even do 152 again.

Vargas? Yes even though I'm rooting for Vargas
Brook? Yes (I've always thought he was overrated)
Garcia? Garcia has timing and a great chin but is slow Pac picks at him all night.
Thurman? Idk Thurman has good timing power and size and isn't slow.

He can, but he won't.
