What do y'all think? Can Pac take home gold at the Rios Olympics? What he score a KO in every match? :think
Because he's old man, you can't stick a 38 yr old in against a whole new generation. Some of you think you can throw a 135 lb peak pac in there
He's 37. Also, there's a thing called experience. Pacquiao is still an 8-time world champion. Fighting in the Olympics would be like sparring to him. Mayweather is 39. You don't think he'd be competitive? Please. Those two would end up in the finals against eachother. Neither one of them are shot. Past-prime yes, but even then they're still levels above everyone else.
Can he beat World Champion Mohammed Rabii of Morocco? That's a tough task. Can he beat Yeleussinov? That's a tough task, too. Pac will be favourite going in, but these guys are capable of taking this as Pacquiao is semi-shot. Even though Pacquiao is semi-shot, the gloves are more padded in the amateurs, and he actually outpointed Mayweather (if we're looking from the traditional amateur point scoring system perspective). Under the new rules, it's a 10-9 system with points given for effective aggression (more-so than the pros) and ring generalship - he could beat Mayweather here.
Actually under real not fake Olympic anti-doping program, yea he could actually KO all under the rules of aggression, even KO IVayweather!
