Pacquiao won the bout and this was his second victory since his loss to Floyd Mayweather as he defeated both Tim Bradley and Jessie Vargas.  Pacquiao victory were over two good fighters and he looked impressive against both but there are those moments that age starts to raise its head. 

Against Vargas, he was hit with some good rights but he also showed the hand speed and quick feet that has served him before.   Pacquiao goal is to coax Floyd Mayweather out of retirement for a rematch but so far, Floyd has not shown any inclination to come out of retirement to fight Pacquiao.

If Pacquiao faces Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia or even Shawn Porter, he will face some young quick fighters who can match his hand speed and can a 37 year old Hall of Fame fighter go up against these young guns?
