I agree, Pacs got a lot more wear & tear on his body than Hopkins. Plus lower weight class fighters have a much higher activity level in fights over their careers. Pac was also generally the smaller fighter in most of his fights as he moved up in weight over the years. Add to that the punishment he’s taken due to his aggressive style which makes fighting in his 40’s at such a high level even more impressive.
Pac and Roach are always talking about going back to 140.
If Pac does that, I think it's possible he breaks Hopkins record for oldest champ. Pacquiao can take a belt from a weaker 140 champ, and lure guys from 130 and 135 to move up to fight him.
No, he won't. The only ones that are gonna say that are the ones who hate Pacquiao and want to see the old man get KTFO. Hopkins can keep that legacy. Pacquiao has his own and he doesn't need that feat.
Hopkins low workrate and boring ass style preserved his body and mind. He was able to maintain his prime and youth that way, but anyone who watched his fights aged faster.
Looks like boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao is getting stronger by the day as he knocked down his junior middleweight sparring partner Shawn Porter.
He did this not once but twice on Thursday according to a report by Philstar.com.
“It only means that he’s ready for the fight and that he’s doing very well,” coach Freddie Roach told The Philippine Star’s Abac Cordero.
then lets see him fight porter!!! porter has called him out several times with no comment from pac. roach is still claiming pac is going to fight crawford....hahahahahahahahahaahahaha!!!! pac wont go near spence, crawford or porter. if pac handled porter so easy, why is porter so adamant about calling him out, and why is pac silent on fighting porter or any other top ww? yeah he fought thurman but only after thurmans was not 100% and needed surgery after the fight and dipping in the lake would not help.
No. Pac looked like **** in his fight with Thurman. If not for hurting him in the 10th, we have a draw. Pac won the first 5 and lost 6 of the next 7. I don’t care what the commentators was saying. And I wanted Pac to win cuz I hate Keith Thurman. So he definitely won by a point but he took a lot of punishment
Gotta credit it to Keith’s performance, and to the fact Manny was taking it easy in the middle rounds so he can have the endurance to CLOSE THE SHOW WHICH HE F’N DID!
PAC DOMINATED THURMAN 8-4 buddy!
He showed young boy how a real prize fighter wins!

You didn’t get the memo?
We banned excuses from these boards officially as of last week. So don’t post excuses anymore.
Back to the topic.
Spence and Crawford either need to fight each other or fight Thurman. PAC can let these pawns fight and then he can get the winner out of all of them. He is the #1 WW currently.

Thurman is hurt again (who didn’t see that coming). Just had surgery. He won’t fight again until next summer.
