    Pacquiao should stay retired.

    Shame he didn't retire after the Thurman fight.

    His lightening movement has slowed, I have no wish to see him take any punishment due to reduced skills.

    You can't beat time, and its effects.

    A highly overtrained Pacquiao put a beating on Ugas and could have won. The change in opponent 11 days out made him do additional sparring and running.

    This is true, thinking the same thing watching their highlights.

    Not saying you're wrong, but how does someone with the experience of Pac, over train? He should have known better. If not him his trainer.

    He probably felt really good and thought he could handle the extra workload. Remember, he had prepared himself for Spence's southpaw pressure style for 8 weeks. When the opponent changes so close to the fight, it's absurd to not do some additional work, especially since Ugas was consensus Top 5 guy that most everyone thought beat Porter handily. Boxing is about muscle memory as well and Ugas was the opposite stance. He basically had to forget everything and all the preparation for Spence.

    Your right, but Pac's team are really dumb & he isn't young enough to just rely on his youthfulness.

    Yeah his team should have just postponed the fight or rejected a right hander altogether,

    He could have taken a tune up as he was out for two years & instead fulfill his contract & fought Mickey in the meantime or really just go back down to 140 where he belongs & do better numbers while having more interesting matchup's for himself without the huge disadvantages he goes into every fight.

    Pacquiao has now fought the ancient Babylonians, Sumerians, & the great Duckians.

    Luis Ortiz is like, damn this guy is old.
    Pac needs to enjoy retirement and stick to losing elections. If they started doing mail in boxing or elections then he has a chance to win.

    Better options for Garcia out there, but if they want to go this ancient route, it would probably sell decently & that's why they even mention it.

    His Ryan Gs confidence is shot
    He thought he was ready
    For Tank - he wasn’t so now he knows he has ALOT OF WORK to do.
    If Barroso was putting hands & feet on Rolly
    Imagine what Pac would do?
    Ryan G skills ain’t too far off from Rolly other then he throws prettier punches.
    But their mentalities are quite similar.

    Interesting I recently saw a clip of pac back in sparring, he looked to be in decent shape.

    True but Pacquiao's legs are gone man & now even more so since his last fight which was in 21,

    That was one of his biggest attributes, from the very first round in that Ugas fight he was punching & his feet where stuck, never seen him like that before & it wasn't even from fatigue, that was the start of the fight, legs weren't moving with him at all, weird.
