    Everybody is up in arms saying "Pacquiao turned back the clock, he must have the greatest drugs and scientists in his corner ever!!!".

    Well, he looked amazing for 40 years old, but stop it. It wasn't like he reverted back to the young Pac.

    People just need to realize that Pacquiao is just climbing down from Mt. Everest. Pacquiao was so much faster than everybody else and his stamina was so insane that now as he ages he's just coming back down to the same level as everybody else. And as for his power, he was breaking people's faces in that were 3 times his size. Literally breaking somebody's face and sending guys much bigger than him to the hospital.

    When your speed and stamina is already 3 times better than everybody else's, you at 50% is just like everybody else at 100%.

    This. PAC still looked old and isn’t even half the fighter he was 10 years ago. PAC at his peak would’ve chewed Thurman up and spit him out. However, like other former elite fighters he’s still good enough to compete with good young fighters like Thurman years past his prime.

    Pac is 10 years past his prime.

    Thurman gets ktfo if he faces the Pac from the Cotto fight.

    Pacman is a freak of nature. HE is 40 but his body is like 35.
    The real problem are those Filipino discriminators and/or Jealous loser who can't ever accept defeat from a tiny Asian like Pacquiao and would rather spend all their time and energy discrediting Pacman than just accepting that he is in fact - GREAT !
    8 Division Champion - the ONLY One - Take THAT or STFU ! :campeon:1:campeon:2:campeon:3:campeon:4:campeon:5:campeon:6:campeon:7:campeon:8

    Yes this, Pacquiao from 10 years ago would have done serious bodily damage to Thurman.

    Pac in his prime beat Barrera down so bad that Barrera said in the post fight interview that he was considering retirement. Dude beat an elite fighter in his prime so badly that Barrera was left wondering if boxing was the right life choice for him.

    He beat De La Hoya so bad that the guy said I just can't continue, he's too fast.

    He beat Ricky Hatton so bad that Ricky was laying on the canvas hyperventilating so that he could stay alive.

    He beat Cotto so bad that Cotto's own dad went into the hospital bed with him to console him because Cotto was in so much pain.

    He beat Margarito so bad that his face will never be the same. Pac literally rearranged his face and shattered his skull.

    You're talking about a guy who would beat the brakes off people. Just annihilate somebody.

    Man if Pac was 30 then Thurman should have just scheduled an appointment with the emergency room for after the fight.

    I said it earlier if Thurman couldn't even beat Manny at 40 years old and with a huge size advantage then how did Morales beat Manny when he was in his prime?

    Those were so damn great fighters.

    After seeing an Old Pac blitz him in the first I can't see Thurman lasting longer than Hatton did against that Pac, or of the Cotto/Del a Hoya fights

    If Pac looks like crap, he's old and past it. If he looks good then he's on drugs. That's what I call prejudice and a lot of posters on this board are just that against Pac.

    Jollibee is the reason Pac looks so good at 40 not the drugs.

    You could clearly see significant decline in the Thurman fight, pac has massive drive and passion for the sport which slows down his rate of decline, that's why he can still perform at that level, he ain't solely motivated by money, it runs deep with pac.
