For the life of me I can't think of any fighter that's made a successful comeback after getting knocked out in their thirties. But that's just me. I'd like to be proved wrong.

His chin sadly wont't be the same.

P. Williams iron chin - gets cracked by S. Martinez - never the same

Hatton iron chin - gets cracked by Mayweather - never the same

The interesting thing with Pac is that he got knocked down earlier in his fight with Marquez as well. That's definitely a clear sign. His chin is shot.

Not a big of a KO as JMM's but maybe Lewis vs Rahman? Then again that was more of a fluke and they fought only twice. Pac and JMM has had many wars and JMM has mastered that big overhand right.

Archie Moore beating Willie Pastrano, Nino Valdes, Bobo Olson, Joey Maxim, Jimmy Bivins, Yvon Durelle, Bob Satterfield, and murderer's row Bert Lytell after suffering a number of KO losses in his 30s.

...it can be done and solid returns have happened. That said, I'm not so sure Pacquiao will be one of them. So I'd tend to agree that he'll never be the same. His style is so dependent on physical gifts (footspeed, handspeed, raw explosiveness). One bad KO loss can send a fighter like that on a downward spiral if it physiologically causes them to lose a step or two and makes it neurologically easier for opponents to disconnect them from their senses.

It's a good thing Bradley is with Top Rank as well. Maybe Pac does possibly have a chance at regaining his belt. Although think I may have spoke to soon because Bradley does have a hell of an overhand right which put Peterson on his arse. So that fight in itself could be risky. Pac doesn't want to be seeing any overhand rights any time soon.

You are absolutely correct but to be honest anyone who he fights from here on out is likely to be prepared to sit down on their punches.

I don't know if I would even put him in with Bradley as you say he has a fairly good right hand. He really needs someone to save him from himself no matter what he thinks, he needs to take it easy because he could end up ruined - see Roy Jones who thought when he fought John Ruiz that a few years later he would be considered a glass jawed joke?

what do you mean paul williams won his 2 fights after martinez i no lara was a robbery but his chin looked fine to me in that fight.

I hadn't really considered that until I read this post. In my years, I can't recall one either.

Might be a good idea for a thread.

Pacquiao got knocked out cold like unconscious type of KO.

I disagree. He pummeled Margarito and was well ahead on the scorecards. The fight should have been stopped! Manny did everything in his power to get him outta there, but at a certain point anyone with a conscience has to think rationally.

Margarito had nothing left. I doubt Pacquiao wanted to bear the burden of giving someone serious brain damage or worse.

On predictions and not flash KO's alone, which non Mayweather/Marquez fighter knocks Pac out? Or even beats him? His speed and power is still there, and just because he's been taking the defencive opponents doesnt mean anything is lost.

BUT, fighters sometimes never come back the same. People mention Hatton, but I think he's in a different catagory. Pac might have really been effected by this, MIGHT, but I don't think it's fair for anyone to predict it until we see him get out there. You think Pacman will be running scared though?
