Manny clearly beat Vargas.BUT!!!!!

[Elroy The Great]

It's hard to KO top guys. Besides GGG, Canelo, Kovalev, and Stevonson who else is out there KOing guys on a regular basis?

look at pac opponents not named jmm or may and you tell me.

I thought he looked damn good last night. He took a few solid shots but took them well. If he picks up one or two WW belts in the same convincing fashion I wouldn't be surprised now if Mayweather gives him the rematch he wants and they cash in.

I'll say this again to wrap up this site and this fight...an over the hill manny beat an in his prime Vargas. For a belt. In his what? 67th pro fight? Appreciate him, he's almost gone.

Agreed , the guy looked tiny in there , he conceded reach/hight/weight and he was the aggressor he dictated the pace , he outclassed him ! ppl need to realize that not only he is older he also fights at a constant size disadvantage which is usually HUGH in boxing.
The guy is a warrior and a legend and ppl should give him credit and enjoy his last fights instead of giving us "but thurman would kill him" nonsense ...

[Beercules]

What a bum.

Only watch a bit of the fight on Youtube, and the first thing i said was this guy hasn't change with his lunging in.

[SplitSecond]

He always looks like a KO waiting to happen when fighting lanky fighters nowadays, he comes in lunging while staying straight up and he never moves quite far enough out of reach since these guys are so long, example watch the Algieri fight. That's why I think he'd last a lot longer at 140. He looked a lot better vs Bradley because Bradley is actually his size.

[IronDanHamza]

That was honestly one of the worst fights I've seen from Pacquaio.

He won the fight clearly but it's the worst I've seen him. Hey few combos, didn't look sharp at all. Got hit with him very clean punches.

He doesn't look like the same fighter from 2015 even.

[daggum]

he was actually trying to get ko'd so he could retire for real. arum keeps forcing him to fight

[Strategic1]

He was facing a guy basically 5 inches taller than him and the guy had several inches in reach advantage.

Reach is such an advantage. Manny' workrate has declined and speed slightly so he's getting hit a bit more coming in.

But then again, everyone gets hit in a boxing match. It's just an over exaggeration.

Dude is 37, what are you asking for?

Still he made vargas look like average(not saying he was great though)

Even with the reach he couldnt trouble pac
