Watch: Justin Fortune Still Thinks Pacquiao at even 45 Still Beats Barrios

Justin Fortune Still Thinks Pacquiao at even 45 Still Beats Barrios

This is a big call from Fortune here all things considering with age and how Pacquiao looked recently.

Recently Pacquiao in a boxing exhibition in Japan drew with Japanese kickboxer Anpo but would have lost a decision if judges’ were present.

Pacquiao looked not great but renowned conditioning coach Justin Fortune thinks if he takes a Mario Barrios title fight seriously in training, even at 45, Pacquiao is still too fast and powerful:

Fortune knows Pacquiao well having worked with him, Mike Tyson, James Toney, Israel Vasquez and many more.

A big call still though.

Pacquiao didn’t really have a training camp for Anpo either to be fair to Pacquiao who took him as a last minute change of opponent.

Mario Barrios in a world title fight is something Pacquiao would need to put a 4 month dedicated training camp aside for, however, if we would want to win it or have a chance even.
