    Spence is his tune up fight. No one does that only Manny Pacquiao.

    Dont get envious and speculate an accusation if your favorite boxer could no longer do it at 42. It is just to show that Pacman is not just an ordinary boxer.

    First week of camp. Let’s see the highlight reel a week out before the fight.

    He’s still gonna be much faster than Spence, but his foot speed and bounce is the most important thing against Spence cos he needs to be able to go in and out and create angles. Can’t do that without legs.

    No 42 in the history of humanity was at their peak physically.

    Its literally not humanly possible.

    I don't think you can gauge how shot he is from these videos. But I expect him to be entering the ring at 42, two years out of the ring, and facing a guy who could easiily be a 154ber possibly even a 160lber his chances near 0%. Great matchmaking to fool the dumbass casuals who ruin the "sport" supporting this but a clear mismatch. The only way Pacquiao wins this is if he gets a miracle and somehow turns back the years. I'm rooting for Pacquiao, Spence is a hypejob weight bully whose cherrypicking is elite standards

    Of course I didn't expect Pacquiao to look prime, but I've never seen him look bad and with his speed this diminished.

    Lol you've done this before other Manny fights. First off you're all bullish and confident about his chances in said fight, then you post videos which apparently highlight some recent decline as fight night gets closer :lol:

    This is more about your nerves and covering bases than anything else.

    He'll be competitive vs Spence and I think he'll hurt him. I've always thought this fight is a step too far at this stage of his career but I rule nothing out either. Also, as long as he's not demolished in the way Manny demolished ODH, there's no down side to this fight. A 42-year-old man taking on one of the best in the division and being competitive is no mean feat, irrespective of the the result.

    I think his timing and power has increased though. And he has ever so subtly created different angles and openings as his experience increased. So that should more than makes up for the speed loss, as I believe he'd try to counter Spence come fight night since Spece will probably initiate most of the time.
    What remains to be seen is his head movement and bounce, most importantly his speed to go in and out, if that's still there then he's still gonna trouble Spence early in the fight.
    I also think they should be prioritizing working on his stamina though.
