    yeah he is until i see otherwise in the ring. hes ducking crawford but that still doesnt mean hes not a top WW, could well beat him but it looks like he wants easy fights at this stage.

      pac beat floyd with one healthy arm and they call floyd TBE . i think a 80% pac will beat the 140-147 fighters today.

        Shadow of his former self?? People It's ****ing Pacqiuao the goat, he still got miles in the tank, & wiser. Listen. He's fighting Jeff Horn as something to keep him sharp before going on and fighting one of the champions, Crawford, Spence, and (most likely) Thurman.

          I don't see why he wouldn't be. Losing to Floyd with an injury while still being somewhat competitive is not like getting beaten by a fringe guy or something. That's the P4P best right there.

              styles make fights, and thurman may very well try and box with manny and lose to the quicker guy. spence is too big for manny. he'd wear him out at this stage in his career. manny could beat porter with his footspeed, and i thin khe'd do the same with danny. danny' s agood counterpuncher and would benefit from an on / off pace that manny needs, so that fight might be close.

              brook's probably close to, if not all done. the guy has been stopped twice and has broken bones with surgical repair on both sides of his dome. i think manny would stop him if they foguht in november. maybe brook can be rebuilt [lul], but i dont' see hearn lookign to do that. they wouldn't have gone back down in weight two classes to fight a puncher. they'd have fought khan. talk about a no brainer. make money, easy fight, pound a small loudmouth with a frontrunning and flashy style, but instead they picked a young kid with lead in his gloves.



              so yeah, manny is a "top" ww. but he's not the top WW. spence si teh guy right now in my book. iknow people have thurman rated over him, but i'm guessing vegas favors spence and for good reason. when thurman is taking a break spence is going to be punching him in the ribs, and later the head.

                    Yeah he's still a top welterweight. Top three at this point. Can't see him beating Spence or Thurman at this stage.

                      Seeing that, I felt TC probably beats him now but guys like Spence and Thurman are still too basic to beat him.
                      Close to shot? I just don't see it. He took a top 6-7 WW in Vargas and totally dominated every round. Bradley almost lost to the guy. Almost shot is not at all accurate.
