pac hasn't been the same since 2010...the drive just isn't there anymore, and he doesn't have nearly the same athleticism like he used to. plus that KO will probably have taken a lot out of him now...

As a rule a boxer is at his best between from age 24 to 29.That is when they are the strongest and fastest and have had some experience as a fighter. Smaller fighters like Pacquiao seem to go past prime sooner than larger fighters. Also a fighter that goes to war most fights does not usually have as long a prime as a defensive boxer. I think Pacquiao started to pass his prime about the time he turned thirty years old. He is still a very good fighter but not as good as he used to be.

He's in his prime right now. He looked fine to me this past Decmeber. Typical pac who can't adjust or look good vs defensive fighters. Let alone walking "right" into a perfectly timed right hand.
Put pac in with bums again and he will look like the media hyped fighter that Bob made him out to be a few years ago.
If Pac was put back in the ring with a washed up cheater like Margarito, a loser and a pos like Clottey, or a washed up Euro has been like Hatton, Pac would look good again.
Why do you think Bob Arum has never made him fight Mayweather? His hype would be destroyed, just like JMM has done to Pac since the third match. Let alone the JWW feather fisted Bradley who had one leg and was forced to move up to the full WW limit (when Pac wouldn't even do that for Cotto).
If pac went back to fighting top rank bums, he would look good again.Last edited by WESS; 01-07-2013, 01:43 PM.
