    Manny gave super middleweight Ugas vaginas eyes. These boys weighing 145-155 down at 135/140 won't have the durability to take these shots. Manny still fast with his hands. His legs are gone, but he can afford to be stationary against guys his size or slightly bigger.

    Only Mikey and Taylor pose threats.

    135 may be a challenge at this point. 140 easily. And I disagree. I think 43/44 year old Manny would power through Lomachenko.

    The younger guys are even faster....

    Could Manny's cement feet keep up?

    Aside from Lomachenko, none of these dudes are fleet of foot. Teofimo is one of the biggest cats in the division, but he's positively small compared to Ugas/Thurman. Pac would whoop on Teofimo, Ramirez, and Prograis.

    Dem paychecks ain't down at 135/140, doe.

    The days of Manny ruling a division are over. Right now, he'd beat some guys in the top 10 but the very best of the division from 35-47, that would be a no. To be fair "ruling" to me, would be holding more than one title and at 42, I can't see him doing that.

    No. Losing additional weight at this point in his career will ruin him. Pac's had a great career. Nothing left to prove.

    We all know in a month Pac will announce that he'll fight one more time in his home town.
    Taking that into consideration, I agree that the best route for him is to go as low as he is comfortable with and fight a big name there.
    Mikey@140 comes to mind if Mikey can get some belts there.
    His legs maybe gone but he doesn't need that if he's not at a significant height and weight disadvantage.
    He didn't gas against Ugas nor did he looked slow with his punches. If anything he was still as fluid as possible with his combination.
    His reaction time has slowed but it's still faster than most belt holders out there.

    And oh, GTFO with Loma beating Pac.
    I love Loma and especially loved his no mas work on Rigo, but Pac's going to demolish him.

    Pacquiao would beat Lomachenko even now, though it would be difficult because of his cement feet

    Just let it go, @JOKER. Let him enjoy retirement and find a new fighter to back.

    Remember how pacman ran circles around de la hoya? Thats exactly how a lomachenko vs pacqauio fight would play out.

    I think he might have slowed too much at this point. Moving down to a faster division isn't a good idea to help a slowing fighter...

    It's the reflexes. People don't understand that. Manny can throw with the same speed. It's his reaction that has slowed. SRR said it when he got old. "I can see the openings, but by the time I throw they're closed". Openings, in his prime he would put a glove through.

    Yeah I made this point earlier. If he goes down in weight and fights guys his size that don’t have huge reach advantages over him his decreased mobility won’t be such a liability. He still has good power, handspeed, durability and endurance.
