Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Says Manny Pacquiao Can Bounce Back

Duran took off a full eighteen months before coming back after the Hearns loss, Arum is already talking about a September return which is ridiculous. Duran's style and underrated boxing technique helped him greatly in his comeback. Duran also defeated Barkley at age 37 are you guys sure Pacquiao wants to be around that long? I like Pacquiao but his chances are slim. Bernard Hopkins on Pacquiao Loss - "Absolutely. That's the type of punch that takes more than one fight out of you. It takes a couple of fights out of you. It's one of those types of knockouts that you can recover from in life, but I don't think you can recover fully in the sport. That was a devastating knockout that has a long-term effect.... I know when you see a guy get knocked out and hit in that way, they are considered damaged goods and they live up to that title."

Boxing is so stupid now in days. Fans, media say fighters are done just cuz they losta fight. Smh

Lets remember pacquiao chilhood growing in the street with no food or nothing and were at 8 times champ 8 divisions will he bouns back? Ofcourse he will he will rise again stronger and better them ever

Pacman will be back better them ever we talking about a guy that at some point live in the street with no food or nothing and look were he got when you bein tru so much you develope a strong mentality a man that survives all that can boun back from anything pacman will rise again better them ever I thought for damn sure he had the 4th fight against jmm. He said if he saw a chance to end it early he would, and that may have been his downfall in that fight but regardless, he was very very stupid to lunge into that right hand the way he did. Manny should have been patient, channeled his aggression appropriatley, and let jmm choke out on his own broken nose blood drainage. If he would have just took his time, PAC might've been talking to team mayweather about the mega fight right now not to mention minus a concussion. Still love the PAC, just maybe it's time for him to retire and pledge his life to family and politics now.

Pac is done. Pushing aside the hate for his fanatical fans, but Pac is done! He's had a long career. He can't come back from this. He has one foot in and out of boxing!

If anybody can come back its Pacquiao. I wonder what the science is behind a ko like that? If he doesn't remember the punch, or the fight maybe it has had no real effect on him as a fighter. Anyways as a Pacquiao, and boxing fan I hope he will be back. He is good for the sport. I also have a feeling he will be all the better for it. My only hope is that they stop fighting Marquez, and pick some new names. Their fights are epic, and always very even. I think the fans want to see him beat on some fresh faces. I hope he comes back against Bradley to avenge that farce of a loss. Then I want him to fight "All about the money, but not if its Pacquiao" Mayweather. I think his final fight should be against Marquez. Maybe even a Khan fight..... I also hope Marquez takes on some new faces too. I would love to see Marquez vs. Danny Garcia, Khan, Matthysse... I'm PAC-man fan all day, but let's be real here, the man is torn in too many directions. Has the camera in his face too much now... He's probably no where near as hungry as he was 10,8,even 5 years ago. Probably spoiled by his wealth and lavish lifestyle now. His past experience and a little of the old pac-man are all that are left now. He's still great, but he is becoming what he did not want to become and that is a fighter who don't know when to retire like Roy jones jr.

Pac will be back. He's still one of the best. The problem was that people had this perception of him being better than he really was after his move up to 140 and went on a spree of fighting guys Floyd and Margartio already beat. You put him back in with JMM and we are back to 2008 all over again. Pac will be back and is still one of the elite. I'm all for a Pac fighting Broner at 140 as a tune up for Pac and then a rematch vs Bradley or call it day in his last fight vs Mayweather.

to be at the top place of p4p ranking floyd should fight regularly like pacman,marquez,martinez and others who deserved that spot more than the pick n choosy floyd.. imagine every boxers risks their efforts in fighting 2-3times a year while floyd fights only one in every 2yrs and yet he's on the top spot.. ridiculous

I agree with lennox, well i atleast agree the potential is there. Would like to see pac have a rebound rematch with bradley to get back on track. Bradley is not a dangerous puncher, not like marquez, and if pac fights bradley with the same intensity (minus some of the carelessness) like he did with marquez, it would be goodnight for bradley.

Pac can come back but its very very extremley unlikley thats the type of ko where hes better off retiring.

Because it's not just on record, it's if every fighter was at the same weight class whom has the most skills etc. Mayweather is clearly number one, and Pac has been too far demoted. He beat Bradley after-all, in reality. Good post. I agree.

I thought these were hilarious.... http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h315/grustler/tumblr_meujsyxw9h1qb0i2vo1_500.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h315/grustler/rem_justin_bieber_manny_pacquiao_simba_joke_ko_boxing.jpg ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!

About time we see someone not writing him off. Also how is floyd #1 on P4P when the other five names between him and pacquaio actually have better records over the past 5 years than he does? Ward for example, martinez for example, at best floyd should be 3/4 tops considering his number of fights and that his last two fights were against people one fight into the top ten in their division. Ortiz/Mosley should not help you rank as p4p #1 i'm sorry but I just can't accept that..Ortiz has only beaten Berto notably on his career only to go on an lose by getting his jaw snapped against a much smaller man in lopez and Mosley just in my eyes as much as I love him hasn't been a top ten fighter in a longggg time. He shouldn't count for Manny either. The cotto wins for both yes, the ODH nope, no way in hell.

Lennox should make that long awaited comeback and fight Vitali.

He would know lol naw I actually love Lenox Lewis one my favorite fighters don't agree tho just because it happen so late in Pac career maybe if it happen earlier but getting ko'd like that Pacman chin will never the same
