so what does this say about him fighting marquez a fifth time? sounds like another loss to Marquez to me
forget the money, and the tune-up, he should'nt fight in April period. Whenever you get K.O.'d there is a time period where no contact is allowed ( ie sparring.) somewhere between 60-90 days
let him get his $h!t together then fight whomever they pick.
Luv him or hate him, you should never wanna see somebody get jacked up later in life because he was rushed back early because of the greed of some chump who doesn't step foot in the ring.
Hind sight? Mosley lost to mayweather then a draw with mora
Margarito got demolished by Mosley, a year layoff, and a fight 12 round fight with a nobody
Clottey was coming of of a loss to cotto.
Of course he won them they are tune ups/ gimmie mes (well I cant say of course he won them because according to pacquiaos camp Marquez was supposed to be a gimme fight twice. And we all know how those turned out)
Besides mayweather, who was there for pacquiao in 147 division? He was simply steamrolling/cleaning out the division, fighting the biggest names of said division of the last 5-10 years.
You can argue they were sh1tty fights (because pacquiao was that much better) or that arum was milking pacquiao, but what were they tuneups for?
Pretty much, they were gimmie fights. I wouldn't call them tune ups, just easy fights that he knew he was drastically favored going in.
They presented their own set of challenges at the time(mosley less so). Of course hindsight is always 20/20.
What would you call them?
Fights that pacquiao won
'Tune ups' for what? A tune up fight for a tune up fight?

Manny really needs to take some time off and just get away from boxing. He has been going non stop since the ODL fight what happened against JMM was bound to happen sooner or later.
If he gets away from the game and can't wait to get back in the gym then he will know the fire is still there. But if he goes away and is comfortable not being around boxing then he will know its time to hang them up. He shouldn't be in another fight until September at the earliest.
Roy Jones was looking very good against Tarver in their 2nd fight, then BOOM!!! It was lights out and he was never the same fighter. The Manny Pacquiao that we all know and love is DONE!!! He will never fight a quality champion and win again. He will never be able to take a big shot again. I've been wishing since Roy got KO'd the 1st time that he would return back to his old dominant self. It never happened and it won't for Manny either. The man is human. His best days are now far behind him. In a rematch with Marquez, it would be competitive early. But as soon as that big shot lands(and it will), the fight will be over. I congradulate Manny on having such a great career, but its over for him.
This is what im trying to say Pac-Boy even acknowledges it in a way by referencing Roy Jones Jr vs Glenn Johnson. Some of you want to think im discrediting Pacquiao or a fan of Floyd cause I posted this? thats ridiculous I like both Pacquiao and Floyd im just gonna post something if it interests me and is a good topic. I cant say i have an allegiance to a certain fighter
Floydiot alt is that you?
Naw sorry not a Floyd fan not really impartial to any fighter I already stated i have nothing against Pacquiao but just posting what kinda may seem to be true

So my user name reflects the outcome of reality? Or my decision! :WORD: I call it like i see it. Bias or unbiased can suck ass...I dont give a shlt! Manny got caught in a fight he was dominating! Shlt happens! Had he been getting beat and then KOd nobody could argue the issue. What do you think any business man Arum) would do...take a risk like Roy did with Glen Johnson...? If you gonna take a risk you take a big one. Scared money dont make no money. And at the end of the day...its all about the money!

You don't need a dubious tweet to come to the conclusion that Manny's done. Before Marquez put him in hibernation he was looking less and less like himself. He'll still command huge paydays but fans shouldn't confuse collecting a check with being the "baddest man on the planet."
And he could make more money if he was confident in a tune-up then the Marquez fight because people are going to pay to see Pacquiao even if its a tune up. Yes he was winning the fight and looked on his way to getting the W but he got floored and to be honest I dont know if that same punch would have left him out like that a few years ago. He would have def gone down but not totally asleep. I think his chin is more in question as he gets older just like Roy Jones his skills are there but you cant train a chin. I think its one big fight with Marquez and then they are cashin out.
When was the last time Pac fought a tune up?
