Could current Manny Pacquiao come back and beat Teofimo Lopez at welterweight ?

Father time is undefeated.

 

No.

Manny from 15 years ago.....yes

 

@Mark Anthony says "Nobody that age can beat Lopez, faster and more powerful."

@HellSpawn86 says "Not a chance"

@rodney says "Zero. No chance. Too old. Punch drunk."

@The Professor says "Now?? He'd be destroyed inside a round, - two tops, if Lopez decided to go easy on him."

These men are all knowledgeable boxing fans but they got it wrong. They are giving Pacquiao way too much of a chance

Manny Pacquiao is my second favorite fighter of all time but he would be dominated and blasted out by a focused Lopez or he loses a one-sided decision if Lopez wasn't focused.

 

If you saw Pac's exhibition fight.................you would know that this is a silly question.

 

All jokes aside this is a good reason boxing needs an age limit.

 

Not saying he would, but Foreman won the HW belt at 45.. Pacs current age is 45.

I know it's different between retaining that big power at HW, as opposed to lighter/ faster guys though. He probably loses of course though, but I don't think it's impossible

 

Pac greatest asset was his speed. That is also one attribute you lose quickly with age.Just look at the Ugas fight. You can see the mind willing but the body just couldn't do it. He just couldn't pull the punches in time. Yet Barrios who is just above gatekeeper type fighter was able to easily outbox Ugas. That shows how badly Pac needs to stay retired.

 

Some fans still think it`s 2016 or something, stop living in the past, some idiots still think current Floyd has a chance v GGG!

 

Only good thing about this is he’s fighting the weakest champion, if he gets in with someone who can bang roll credits.

 

Loved watching Pac back in the day, but just with his age and his come forward style, Teo will have a field day.

Remember what Larry did to Ali?

 

Bobby Pacquiao has a better chance.
