I believe Roach: Pacquaio hasnt Peaked yet.

No reason to doubt Roach unless youre a moron.

He just turned 30.

Ive never seen him stronger and sturdier as the other night. JMM hurt him with a reaching body shot 2 years ago.

I also noticed that PAC can explode even in the 12th round. Different than the JMM 2 fight

He is about 20% slower than usual due to the addition of lean muscle mass. But this will get better when hes fully acclimated. But his punching power has improved no question.

But heres my observations,

PAC needs to get better at cutting the ring off, this can improve he has great footwork.

He still leaves himself open for some counters (which I guess is forgivable given his all out attack) He needs to tighten up his d up the middle.

He needs to throw that right jab with more intent.

Conclusion, PAC on the other side of the hill is pure speculation, but fact is and my eyes can attest is hes still improving.

 

Bump...people dont want to believe..Pacs entering his peak!

All the evidence points there.

 

How can a man peak physically when he is still getting stronger and sturdier? Explain this?

How can PAC who gassed against JMM in the 12th was still as explosive against Cotto.

 

When we see a peak Pacquiao devouring fighters the next few years. PACLand will buy ESB..and we will have peace in the forums

 

This is true, and he has other interests. He has Floyd and Im not sure he'll ever get Mosley. I can see a finale with JMM though, theres just unfinished business.

I mentioned this topic because Roach keeps battering us with this fact for 3 years now and we brush it off as some kind of embellishment.

But watching 24/7 Ariza is really helpful in making PAC perform at optimum levels. As PAc was saying, he wasnt drinking protein shakes and doing all this HITT even a couple of years ago. This can only help and then take into consideration that he just turned 30.

Now there are 28 year olds out there whose past prime but there are 30 year olds who are still getting into their primes (BHOP, Winky)

 

That is true but at the same time he can still explode when needed in the 12th with the same speed and power. Its the weight I think, hes just heavier.

But as long as he paces himself, hed be fine. Mind you he was forced to take a break during rounds 10 and 11, Cotto was just running.

But even if he started the rounds slow, he was still throwing nonstop for the last 1 1/2 minutes of every round.
