It was difficult to watch my favorite boxer age overnight. He would've hattoned horn in his hayday. Hope PAC hangs it up before he gets destroyed by a top WW.

As a promoter, it's very telling how Arum is treating Pac right now .
Arum is dirty and it definitely seems like the fix was in.

He's right in the sense Pacquiao is losing a yard each outing.
After the Vargas fight would of been a good time to call it a day IMO. Coming off the back of a defeat (a big money one), to dominate and drop a good fighter in Bradley. Then to beat and pick up a title against a decent fighter in Vargas.
I thought he beast Horn, although he was worked harder than expected. I'd fancy him to win the rematch.
Take the rematch if there's good money in it. Turn the L to a W. Then retire on a win.
Time catches up with us all.

I think people are analyzing this fight wrong. It was the same old Pac. But Horn was about 160+ pounds and allowed to elbow headbutt and basically use tatics that he would of never got away with in the States.
So Pacquiao was fighting against age, weight, judges and the ref. and he still won so not sure what all his handlers are saying now sounds mad sketchy they know Pac wants to promote himself and they are trying to destroy his legacy so that doesn't happen.

The young squeally voiced buck barely won 2 rounds.
They make it sound like Pac landed 8 punches per round and was in big trouble in the 9th. What the hec is going on here? The best blows Horn landed was intentionally with his head.

Fighters are never the same once Floyd beats them. He sent Hatton into a suicidal depression and now he's sent Manny into a rapid decline.

Pacquiao should have just followed through with his "supposed" retirement after the Tim Bradley fight last year.
He looked eroded and old in the fight against Vargas and looked older and eroded against Horn.
I had Pacquiao winning over Horn but Pacquiao took a beating in the fight also. That's not going to help reverse the aging process.
Pacquiao should have just retired after the Bradley fight last year. That was the perfect time and perfect way to retire.Last edited by The Time; 07-05-2017, 01:11 PM.
