Justin Fortune emphasized more on strength conditioning, unusual since Pac trains for speed, never for power. You can see against Matthyse, Pac was not fast, but he definitely had power. He wasn't bouncing around like a jack rabbit either like he usually does. He stayed flat foot and was obvious he was willing to take some to get that KO win, which caught my eye.
Definitely a top welter weight and beats anybody in the lower weights.
But never against Crawford or Spence.
Yup, he didn't train properly.
Crawford about to catch them hands!
WAR PAC......

Thats never a good sign, you see that a lot in past prime fighters.
I seen that in some of hopkins last fights, a guy who was formerly elusive, giving up on a lot of defense because his timing isnt what it used to be. You see it in old Ali and you seen it in Mayweather vs mcgreggor, though he was lucky that mcgreggor not being a real boxer, had no power, but he was uncharacteristically sloppy and unconcerned with taking shots. Seen it in an old mosley too, taking shots and trying to load up on his own power shots.
Pac is in the final phase of past prime fighters, where they stop focusing on defense and try to load up on power.
If pac fights any of the top guys we are going to see him dominated and beaten down. We've seen a one punch KO and him lose decisions but we are going to see an old pacquaio consistently getting hit with shots we know he could have avoided 5 years ago by a guy we know he could have beaten 5 years ago and its going to be sad.
