    Was Pacquiao Past prime by the time he was 29?

    I mean a lot of logic is used by saying wars and losses are huge factor Look at Pacquiaos statistics when he was 29 years old.

    55 fights, 2 TKO losses,1 clear U.D, a lot of wars with Marquez, Morales thats 4 wars in counting to all their fights especially Morales 1 where Pac took a beating. And also commentators where already noting back in 2007 vs Barrera 2nd time that Pacquiao was slowing down.

    Therefore we can logically conclude that Pacquiao was past it by the time he was 29 years old just like Barrera was past his prime by the time he was 27.

    so by that logic, PAC was past prime when he lost to Torrecampo
    When someone said Barrera was past it before fighting Hamed I just had to make this thread. Hilarious ****.

      yes he was, which is crazy when you think of how much longer it took the woman beater *Floyd to finally find his balls and fight him

        He would have been if he didn't pump himself full of roids.

            His punch resistance and output improved after he was 29. That's just not logical. He was obviously on something.

              I think he was still in his prime at 29 and looking great in fights he had between age 29 and age 30.

                Larry stop it, even Pac admitted it himself in the post fight interview with Max that he lost to Floyd because he was moving around and its easier when opponents "stay" as he put it........but then went on to still claim he won the fight.

                  Pacquiao may have been even better at age 30 and 31. That is when he crushed Diaz, De La Hoya, Cotto and Hatton. Fighting at 135, 140 and 147 seemed to agree with him and he was a monster throwing over 100 good punches a round and almost knocking Hatton's head off.

                    Exactly. He was getting rocked by Morales and JMM at lower weights and suddenly starts walking through welterweights and eating punches like Skittles. Then he refused a blood test.
