Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Understand Arum, But Others Have Fought at This Age

[Letmaku]

Thurman is 30 and rust free or fading. Pacman has lost half of his offense but is excited to rumble at 40. We hope to see a great fight on July 20, 2019. More power!

I just read in a medical report that thinning of the cranium is not related to age, so Arum's concern is not scientifically supported.

Anyway, Pacman will surely go on fighting, until he feels he cannot. He himself will know. Since the quality of the "top" welterweights today are not like yesterday's, he will continue to challenge them. When Thurman loses to him, that will just add more fire to his boxing passion.

As long as pac stays away from Spence I think he can mix it for a couple of years

Spence is a bruiser ...

Spence is a plodder, Pacman will get him through his speed and movement. It will be a big workout for the Pacman though as he has to move a lot. He should do it now before he gets older.

Thurman and Crawford can also win against Spence, and vice versa. Thurman with his bicycle and crawford with his timing.

The slow, plodding Spence clearly out-boxed Garcia, who is a much more technically sound boxer than Manny is. He would do the same or worse to Manny. Take a reality pill dude.

Technical or not, never compare Manny with Mikey.

Spence vs Margarito would have been a 50/50 fight, but we all know styles makes fights!

Not for me

Spence is the truth

Exactly Spence is good but Manny is special. Spence hasn't even fought a top 5 WW yet so we really don't know how good he is. His last fight was against a LW who he couldn't even hurt, lockdown, or ko him. Crawford hasn't fought a 10+ ranked WW. There's no "Truth" other than the eye test with these guys. Manny has faced way better and proven fighters than these 2 and dismantled them. It would be tough at 40 but I believe since Pac is special as he's proved , he can still pull it off with these top guys

Not 70 fights like you though pac. You don't belong in this era. You would have fitted in srr era and felt at home and not out of place.
Best of this era.

How the fck can be the best of an era when beaten what 6-7 times, his biggest wins are CWs with drained fighters and he hand picks guys from lower divisions, nobody in the history of boxing has manipulated weight in so many fights as Manny has and he gets away with it because the internet generation of fans know very little about boxing they are hype swallowers.

Youre one of those hype swallowing fans, a post or so back youre claiming Mannys win over a 145 lb Oscar where Manny weighed more than a dried out prune was better than Floyds win over a 165 lb Oscar, you are so full of bias you disregard weight and many other things surrounding a fight, you have never set foot in a boxing ring and thats why you talk the utter sht you do.

Great fighter but man made through very careful match making.

And we all know fanboyism (p a c t a r d ism) clouds vision and common sense. But carry on....its actually comedy.
