It’s sad to see a great fighter not looking like the same fighter that made him a legend. But, like any ATGs, all great things have to come to an end. Pac was fortunate to not have been in the ring with Spence and he still has his health intact. Hopefully he can retire for good and let the younger fighters rise. It’s the end of a great era. Thank you so much for all the great performances, wars, and memorable bouts that you gave us. It’s been a privilege to witness an ATG.
Ive pretty much underrated pacquiao for most of his prime. Was almost always picking against him in big fights. It's only after the Cotto destruction that i realised that he wasn't only a special fighter, he was a freaking atg. Made cotto, an elite welterweight, look like a complete bum. Sadly enough, this was probably Pacquiao last true prime performance. He was still good afterward, but he wasnt as destructive and vicious. Turned into a decision machine. Always be a shame that PBF didnt faced that Pacquiao I must say that he lasted much longer than i (and pretty much everyone) anticipated. With his style and lack of size, nobody would have think that hed still be a competitive ww at 42 yo. He's without a doubt the greatest boxer since i started watching boxing in the late 90s. Sure there some boxers that looked (at least to me) more impressive (rj and pbf for example), but none of them have the crazy resume that he has. I think he ranks among the top 10 best ever
I picked him to smoke both Cotto and Hatton. It seems hard to believe now, but this forum was split 50-50 on Pac-Hatton.
