Just How Good Was Prime Manny Pacquiao?

[Curtis Harper]

Yeah but they don't make videos about it

Meaningless..........

[taskgoal]

that hook was called... Manila Ice

Pac was 32yo when Roach taught him that punch

Mayweather had mastered that punch before his 14th birthday

A bit different since Floyd is orthodox, but I see what you're trying to say.

Yes, Pac only received formal training when he was much older as a boxer. He was very lucky to have met Roach. And so are boxing fans: otherwise Manny would have remained a one-dimensional fighter and we wouldn't have seen what he was capable of. Props to Manny for reaching insane heights even though he started training late.

LOTS of fighters failed to show up on fight night when shlt got real with Mayweather

stop making excuses man... Pac is just another name on that list, that happened to everyone

Floyds whole family was accusing him of being a ped cheat with no hard evidence. Went thru all that trouble to duck the man when he could have just fessed up and said i don't want to do this.

Prime? 2006-2009 version it is, he's good but lacked defense and too relentless...

[RuleOfTheSpear]

His run from 2005-2011 was just incredible!

How good was Pacquiao? Good enough to have Gayweather run scared for 6 years.

The Mayweathers body language whenever Manny's name was mentioned was all you needed to know. Especially Sr. he was the funniest

Drug test procedures being debated
https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/n...ory?id=4766171

Mayweather requested that the drug testing for the fight be in compliance with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which handles testing for Olympians, "to ensure fair play and sportsmanship by both fighters."

"We're going in a different direction," Arum told the Grand Rapids newspaper. "What I believe is that Floyd never really wanted the fight and this is just harassment of Pacquiao.''

Floyd ran from Pac for so many years...only fought him after knowing the prime PAC was gone. Floyd smart, don’t take risk and you don’t lose.
