Manny Pacqauio is something else despite being 40 and a natural 135 he is dominating guys like Keith

    It screws with the betting lines. I think it's corruption like point shaving.

    What do you make of the Compubox numbers, Thurman landing 192 power punches to Pac's 113, and outlanding Pac overall?

    Not seen the fight but that is surprising given how he gave up four or five rounds up from the off.from what I’ve heard the body shot wasn’t the deciding factor.

    Yes there’s definitely something going on.sounds like Thurman did really well given the start and that he won enough rounds.

    One thing I will say re. Manny's size or rather lack thereof is the guy is built like a freaking tank ala a mini Mike Tyson and even though he's fighting naturally bigger and heavier opponents he's so thick-set and strong it kind of cancels his size disadvantage out like how Tyson's did when he was facing bigger and heavier opponents and obviously he has those blazing quick hands too which are a huge advantage for him.

    If we forget that Pacquiao is 40 years old, and a significantly smaller guy, that wasn't dominating.

    Super-heavyweights and his gargantuan melon makes Valuev's look like a flyweight's in comparison

    The KD really saved Pac as the judges almost got it wrong.

    Keith showed grit by recovering from a flash KD and then to grind 11.5 more rounds with a living legend and also to win rounds at that was impressive.

    Great fight

    Don't understand what "natural" means anymore when it comes to boxing weight divisions.
    If you mean "natural" as in boxers naturally dehydrate to their max potential for maximum advantage, then yeah 135 it is.
    If you mean "natural" as in he doesn't have to sacrifice too much weight and remain comfortable with a huge KO power over the division, then 140 it is.

    No way he is a "natural" WW though, that much is true.
