Genetics Is Simply Not Fair. Look At Pac VS Brook

[Floyd is TBE]

Come on, brah. Pac is a fraction of what he used to be. I'll give him his props for beating Thurman, but after watching his little ass get bullied by Jeff Horn it's clear he isn't at the highest level anymore. There's a reason his people wanna cash out against McGregor instead of feeding sacrificing him to someone like Crawford.

As for Brook, why are we hyping this dude up? Because he's British? Because he beat Porter? People are acting like this dude was elite before his career was tragically derailed by one injury

jeff horn? he is a wrestler. what can you expect from such a dirty fighter. he even use hug, elbow and head. too bad pac is not a dirty fighter. he don't have to fight the horn style. plus it was held in australia. a bias and paid jugdes and referee.

A thread clearly taking a dig at brook. But on a serious note, Pacquiaos longevity into his 40’s, competing at the top is impressive and very surprising. Most felt with his slower hand and foot speed he’d be knockout waiting to happen, but his boxing ability is extremely underrated.

PEDS is a wonderful thing

If a sportman over the age of 35 starts getting physically better and stronger as they get even older, they are on the juice.

It definitely wasn’t a hook. He doesn’t rotate his body at all. It’s a hybrid type punch but it’s far more reminiscent of a jab than a hook.

Yeah exactly. You can’t throw a “straight hook”. It was some sort of hybrid jab. Brilliantly timed shot.

A jab is a straight punch, it activates your medial deltoid to directly pull up your arm. If the punch is moving across your chest it’s a cross, you are activating more of the pecs and likely getting more torque. If you got a nook in your elbow it’s a hook, not a jab. How much you turn your body doesn’t mean much, arm-punches exist and even the jab you turn into. Regardless you can see how little of Crawfords right pec is visible before the punch compared to after the punch.

Call it a variation of a jab, a hook, or a cross. But It’s not a jab, it’s a punch that would fall short at long range because it’s aiming to the floor or to the side, a punch that has existed for ages. Pacquiao uses it a good amount too. Golovkin I think so also. I don’t think anyone throws it thinking they are throwing a jab, More like a very wide hook. Crawford also called it “more of a hook”.

A hybrid-jab is a fair assessment though.

You think Pacquiao has gotten physically better since 35?

don't envy his maintained body at 35+. you're not alike.. he trained his body hard in the gym while you're just sitting bum there and browsing the internet your whole life.. see the difference? do something useful to your body. just my 2 cents.

Or they just know how to workout their as.s. Off unlike most fighters you are familiar with that gets lazy as they get their age past 30

And who’s getting physically stronger? Someone that gasses out past 8 who usually had enough tank for 20 rds?
