    If he doesn't get caught for steroids abuse probably a couple more years.

    Honestly Pac doesnt have too many more left in him to be honest....i think maybe three more fights and thats pushing it.

    i think he fights the winner of Mosley/Floyd......win lose or draw he may have two more....im inclined to think though that he loses 1 of these fights out of the three...and yea I have Floyd beating him if Floyd passes by Mosley.

    Pac's fighting on the same physical level that he was when he was 26 years old.
    Floyd physically cannot put his body through the rigors in the ring to perform with that same type of workrate.

    .....so there is a huge difference there.

    There is actually more mileage as a pro on Pac's body than there is of Mayweather, yet there is no sign of that mileage on Pacquiao's performances.

    If Pacquiao's not doping, that is truly impressive.
    What a physical specimen!

    Mayweather will be old overnight against Mosley.

    Pac's been boxing in his sleep against that stiff ODLH, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto.

    He doesn't have any ringwear in the upper division weights.

    Not for long I'd say, he isn't even as fast nor as strong (in a P4P sense) as he was before.

    But it definitely helps that since the second fight with Marquez, the only real punishment he's taken happened during the 1st couple of rounds against Cotto. Manny's definitely been in a lot of wars, but a lot of those were pretty one sided (besides the 1st Morales fight and the 2 Marquez fights, he's hardly been in any back and forth battles). He's never been in a Marquez-Vasquez or Castillo-Corrales kind of war. (the closest being the 1st Morales fight, and that was just once)

    Plus the guy is always in shape and doesn't balloon in weight between fights.

    That is why it gets so boring. You deviated from your obsession and expertize!

    Don't tell me you became expert in PEDS suddenly? Bozo!

    I actually think he is probably starting to decline as we speak. He has been in some major wars. The cotto fight probably took a lot out of him as even though he dominated it he did take some good shots.

    Also if you were to pick a winner of the Clottey fight on facial damage alone you would think that Clottey battered him. IMO these are alll signs of a declining fighter.


    Just an opionion so dont slate me if you dont agree.

    your comment is ****ing stupid. why just because we want to discuss the p4p #1 fighter's longevity do you have to assume the TS is referencing PEDs? I think it's a legit question.

    he's been fighting since 16 yrs old but he hardly gone amature boxing as compared to other boxers who spent lengthy years as amatures.

    What's there to think about? It's been a proven fact that Pacquiao walks around at 150 when he wasn't fighting at 130 and lower. Pacquiao just happens to be fighting at his natural weight. Did you notice that Pacquiao, during his previous fights at welterweight, he couldn't even make the contract weight? He's always weighed LOWER and during fight night, he weighs close to the weight limit. That's because he's fighting in his natural weight, hence he was able to bring his speed and power in the upper weight class.
