Also, good point about him having the best welter weight wins this year.

Best WW in the game right now even at age 37! I wanna see him fight the winner of Thurman/Garcia but first take a tune up with the untested Terrence Crawford maybe at a catchweight.

Yes , people need to appreciate for what it is..
Pacquiao is 38, now a part-time boxer. Boxing is his 2nd job now..He's gone religious, and lost the killer instinct.

BUT he is still beating guys in their prime: Bradley, Vargas, Algieri, Rios etc.. all young guys.

It just shows his level, even old man still schooling them youngings

Have to give it up to pac for still being a complete fighter at this stage in his career. Just watched the fight last night and even from the minor slippage( which is normal considering all the factors) I still favor pac man over most top Walters right now. It would be interesting to see him v loma at 35 but even if that doesn't happen I can see pac fighting at top level for a few more years easy.

Pacquiao is still the best welterweight.

Great piece of writing, Greisman. I hadn't thought about it, but the Pac Man's had as good a year as any welter.
