    Manny's Shell can rule 135-140. He's just gotta stop fighting significantly bigger guys like he has for the last decade. Ugas looked like a super middleweight. Manny no longer has the legs and reaction time and conditioning to overcome significant size advantages anymore. He can rule 135/140.

    I think he could be more competitive but idk a out ruling. The smaller guys won’t have size but they’ll have more speed and i’m not sure Pacquiao can get used to being the slower fighter but he is used to being the smaller one.

    Could Pacquaio make 135/40 honestly? I know he’s small but would be a hard weight cut at his age?

    When you're punching super middleweights on fight night, they're gonna be tougher to hurt. If Pac's punches land on guys that are 145-155 on fight night, it's gonna be lights out.

    Lopez would destroy him, Loma would beat him too and he`s only going to get slower at 42 already. Tank would KO him also.

    His prep was bad v Ugas, when punching the pads his his feet and body positioning was wrong leaving his shots with no power, Tank punches far harder than Manny.

    Pac would KO Lomachenko, Lopez, and Tank at 140. Only threats are Mikey and Taylor.

    Tank punches harder than Manny did v Ugas, Lopez would beat Garcia.

    I’m a Manny fan and finally watched the fight. His legs no longer have spring and his reaction time seems noticeably slower than the Thurman fight. I don’t want to see him take any more punishment and hope he hangs it up. Tough and courageous fighter, he will always be one of my all time favorites. Manny has proven he will fight any top fighter but Father Time is getting the best of him. I thought the same of Evander. No shortage of balls with those guys but someone needs to stop him (Manny) before he gets his brains scrambled.

    His legs are gone, but he'll be fine as long as he's not fighting guys that are super middles on fight night.

    Manny hasn't made 135 in over 13 years and even if he could get down to that weight and remain strong and healthy he'd get taken to slick school by Loma.

    As for Taylor

    Certain guys he could beat at 140 sure but not any of the elite guys there like Prograis or Taylor. He could beat Ramirez there I think.
