    he is already a three division champion despite still being in the pre-prime stage of his career...

    I believe pac's at his PHYSICAL prime, but not quite at his boxing prime. I think his form still has some maturing to do. But wow, once it does...

    He is as fast, as strong and twice as skillled and wellrounded as he has ever been...this is essentially his prime.

    Funny that after the Solis fight a lot of people were wondering if Pacquiao is past his prime or at least has neglected his form so much due to rampant gambling and generally having fun in the Philippines.

    Yep, I feel as though it can be said that Pacquaio is peaking. Obviously. He hasn't lost a step, and now he's many layers deeper in all sorts of catagories all these years later. Scary ****.

    i still feel Pacquiao's physical prime was at 122 when he knocked out all of his opponents and managed to destroy a prime Barrera at 126 even though he was still essentially a 122lb fighter.

    He was so fast and powerful at that weight it was inhuman.

    They may be but definitely from a boxing standpoint I would think in that sense he recently entered his prime.

    Hello Troll!:hi: I said I think he can, but it's not a fact. Does that mean I think he has more skill? NO

    Big deal let's see if he is P4P in his 40's like Hopkins.

    Pac is one helluva fighter no doubt.
