    Broner isn't a HOFer.... At least not if he retired today.

    Pacman will be 40 years old when the fight is held. He needs to come into fight
    in top condition.

    Yup.

    Mike Tyson had just been released from prison.

    Floyd Mayweather was still an amateur boxer.

    Cool, go watch him get pulverised then. I'm sure he'll appreciate the support.

    In the last 7 years, who has Pac beat the breaks off of?
    A broken Matthysse? Rios?

    Thurman stylistically would always be a hard one for Pac,
    he's a mover and pot shotter. His skillset is always proven,
    Roach had no desire to fight Thurman..........

    Thurman was a nobody whilst Pac was at the top of his game? He was building a name. In the past 7 years he easily beat up Bradley, one of the top JWW/WW in his prime, 3 times.

    Bradley is way slicker than Thurman, Thurman is quite awkward. However, Thurman is bigger and hits much harder than Bradley, but in terms of boxing skills, I think Bradley would outbox thurman.

    Pac usually laughs at face-offs. I wouldn't read too much into it. Pac knows he has to impress in this fight.

    :lol: How the **** did you give Horn 9 rounds? Are you kidding me?
    Pac took an ass whooping that night.

    He lost fair and square. The only reason people went with the robbery narrative is because of Atlas' crazy outburst.

    Look, AB be bummin' in the early to mid rounds, but when he turns it on in the late rounds, he's a real problem. I don't know if it's AB's strategy, but if he started faster, he'd possibly have beaten Mikey, Marcos, and Jessie.

    AB turned it up against Maidana in the later rounds and Maidana has gone on record to say to say that Broner was his toughest fight. And the fight out on the outside looked like an easy win for Maidana.

    AB turned it up against Mikey in the later rounds and had very good success and was lighting Mikey up.

    AB turned it up against Vargas in the later rounds and was beating Vargas up. Another round or two, Vargas may have been stopped.

    Against Pac, he will be facing a guy who's more than a decade removed from his peak form, smaller, and 40 years old. Then you throw in Broner's durability and we've got a 50/50 fight.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Broner stops Pac.

    I wouldn't say 50-50 but Broner is a very live underdog.

    I noticed that Pacquiao has started lifting weights. In the Matthysse fight, he was pushing that long metal arm weight thingie. And now he's using that big weight ball.

    Pacquiao used to overwhelm dudes w/ speed, workrate, and movement, but he's slowed considerably. He may be trying to make up for it w/ increased power.
