Absolutely not true. Physical age has nothing to do with it regarding this fight or many others. Pacquiao had many more fights under his belt including being knocked out cold. So Pacquiao is fighting at a high level, yet, when you decide to bash Pacquiao, "he has Horn problems" Whatever fits your agenda on that particular day.
Pacquiao’s slowed enough where it was a slower paced match with more glaring. Floyd has the advantage being as good but longer. Around ‘10 I was picking Pacquiao by stoppage, I didn’t think Mayweather could take the power (and I think it showed, Pacquiao wobbled him with fairly common shots, not his bombs). By the time it arrived it was 50/50 and Floyd’s to lose, my prediction for Mayweather was simple, keep it quiet, keep it long and stay behind the jab. Similar to Joshua-Ruiz, Joshua really just couldn’t let himself get carried away or try to stop Ruiz even if he hurt him, Ruiz like Pacquiao are vicious counter-puncher and all you have to do is step into their range. Also reminds me of how I viewed Golovkin-Canelo, when it should have happened I was picking Golovkin by late stoppage, by the time it arrived I picked Golovkin by decision.
What does he have Horn problems have to do with anything? He lost the fight and hasn't avenged it. It was a bad loss. With that said he's still fighting at a top level is he not? So one would say he had more left in his tank than PBF who retired years ago. Don't get mad at me because you can't handle the truth.
LOL@you... Pac by stoppage ? Log off, stick to synchronized swimming or something similar... Pac stopped jack at Welter........needed a corner stoppage from the Ghost of ODH...no skill punch bags Clottey and Margobumo went the distance.....the fact is Pac got laid out by a Mexican Brawler with a chin for the 1000000 count who never ever was a big puncher, full stop....if one gets ko'ed its Pacy lunging in. Pac will never ever beat mayweather, not in this life or the next you feeble minded Krayon board holders. 118-110...the End.
Imo watching the fight it looked like Manny got caught with a hard hook in round 2 and after that opted to box to avoid a Marquez ending
So Horn is considered an elite fighter since Pacquiao is still fighting at a top level? Why do you feel the need to bring up the Horn fight when defending Floyd?
I didn't bring Horn up you did. I have gone on record saying Pac beating Thurman was a good win and I gave him his due. I'm saying that Pac had more left in the tank than PBF did which is why he's still fighting at a high level and PBF is not.
You shot yourself in the foot >>>>> "PBF retired years ago" Your words exactly LOL Yet you STILL claim he was Fighter of the Decade 2011-2020 how when he was retired half that time ???
I already addressed it clown. PBF beat Cotto Canelo Guerrero Pac and Mosley all of which were top 10 P4P fighters when PBF fought them with the lone exception being Cotto who's going to be in the HOF. It's not about how long you fought in the decade it's about who you beat in the decade.
Are you really going to claim that you don't use the Horn fight when running to Floyd's defense? Fighting styles,number of fights, cuts,grueling wars, whether the fighter was an offensive or defensive fighter determines a fighters longevity and what they have left in the tank and Manny has been running on fumes and changed his fighting style after being caught by Marquez. Although he did stand in the trenches and trade with Thurman which is quite simply amazing to say the least. Manny at 41 and running on fumes is better than most of the division.We will see what Floyd has left after returning from his 4th retirement.
