    So the word was Pac moved down to get more KO, but the truth is he left to prevent himself from getting KO. The jig is up, the boxing elite understand there's just certain punches he's vulnerable to. His last two opponents where feather fisted and rocked him just imagine if it were Thurman, Brook, Porter or Maidana who landed this punch it would be lights out

    Lol. It's boxing...those are the risks and eating flush punches is part of the game. Even the most elusive fighters get tagged with shots that hurt them or even put them down. But act as though this is some kind of Epiphany is comical. You make a mistake going in on a wounded animal and you could get become the prey.

    Yeah... I'm sure it had nothing to do with Bob wanting to keep all things in-house and there being no TR fighters left at 47 that hasn't been done to death.

    If the Mayweather fight ever does come to fruitition, I'd expect it to be at 47.

    The irony here is pac went up to WW when it was waxing hot. Someone else retired during that time frame.

    So in that time he was gone the WW division went from waxing hot to ice cold? Doesn't speak much of the competition.
     
  7. All asians have glass chins.

    Look at Khan and Donaire, they both got KO'd brutally.

    Let them level the playing field.

    Even though Pacquiao was getting hit clean by Algieri and Bradley and both known with not much power, Pacquiao did not respect them so he fought how he liked, moving forward with no respect.

    Compare the fights with Rios, Margarito compared to Bradley/Algieri.....
    Pacquiao has more side to side & in and out movements.

    Pacquiao at this stage of his career will not trade only if he needs to, he is fighting a smart fight now.

    The irony is that he cleared the welter division while it was hot while others retired. Lol

    I do believe there's a lot of truth to this, I believe that punch from Bradley that lifted Pacquiao off his feet, did shake things up with Team Pacquiao, because it was immediately after that fight that Freddie Roach said Pacquiao would be going down in weight. He also made reference to Bradley having to weigh at least, 165lbs. on fight night. Some Pacquiao fans may scoff at this, but at this point in Pacquiao's career, it really doesn't make sense to be going down in weight, might make dollars, but doesn't make sense.

    I believe Pac's best weight is 140, so it does make sense. But in terms of getting a fight with Floyd and maybe some other bigger fights, it doesn't make sense. :hat
