    Salido was on grade A steroids—which is why this is an NC—and put on like 20 pounds after the weigh in. He also beat Lomachenko. Loma was green? Guerrero wasn’t?

    I can show you videos of Pacquiao being knocked out.

    Is forty some special number that’s inherently more physically limiting than being 38? Floyd took care of Pacquiao at while just about as old as Pac is now.

    Re: the shoulder surgery. It was an old injury and the surgery was timed to save face. Manny raised his arms after the fight which isn’t possible with a full blown rotator cuff tear.

    Which is why I’m comparing him to 2019 Keith Thurman. Glad you finally understand my point.

    lmao so Vegas wasn't corrupt this time? But Bob Bennett was involved, I thought he told the judges how to score and stuff. What about the memo, Bob didn't send out the memo this time? lol

    LOL you're the one who for months has been claiming that Vegas is corrupt to the core, that you can't get a fair shake in Vegas? You constantly bring up Bob Bennett and have issues with how he runs things. You talk about memos that he sends to the judges telling him how to score fights. What happened to all that Vegas corruption that you constantly spout off about?

    Sigh...the insecurity of PAC stans is mind boggling. I’m happy for Manny, and not even gonna get sucked into this. You can’t rewrite history...it happened, it’s over.

    Actually if you replay the fight in slo-mo and turn off the biased commentary paquiao won the fight. Floyd was hugging and running the entire fight. Pacquiao > Floyd.

    Both incredible boxers and ATG level careers -

    But Pacs resume leaves Floyds in the dust and it’s not even close really. Risk ratio is SO far in Pac’s favour too, which is a factor when surmising these things.

    There both top 10 ATGs imo and it's almost criminal we never got to see these guys fight in there prime,even when they did finally fight it was clear Pacquio wasn't close to 100% for there fight.
    I believe Manny has a better resume across a longer period across more divisions along the way taking more chances in his career fighting and beating bigger guys.
    I wouldn't even mind seeing Floyd come back to fight him but after last night outstanding performance that's not likely to happen as Floyd knows he'd lose like he would have if they fought in there prime
