    Maybe Manny Pacquiao can lure JC Chavez Sr out of retirement...

    ...since he's more comfortable fighting old Mexican boxers.

    Because he ducked Ricky Hatton, "Chicken" Manny has lost my respect.

        Erik Morales (29) and Marco Antonio Barrera (29) were younger than Hatton (30) when Pacquiao beat them. Marquez was 31 for the first fight.

        I do think that he has become greedy which is a shame. He won't get any more money than what he would've gotten against Hatton.

          This is really disappointing. I still think they will end up fighting though. It's his best option and like others have said, he won't make more money fighting anyone else. He's trying to fuck with Hatton and make him take a smaller share than Hatton feels he deserves. It's a ****** little game and I wish it wasn't such a common part of boxing.

            Morales at age 28 actually beat Pacquiao, and Erik was in his 30s for the second and third fights. Barrera was nearly 34 for his second fight with Pacman.

            And as you've said yourself in the past, age alone doesn't determine whether a fighter is shot. Both Barrera and Morales had been through many wars, and most people think they were past their best when Manny fought them.

              Barrera was in his prime for the first fight, coming off wins over Morales and Hamed, and he went onto regain his titles and beat good opposition. To date it's still the greatest ever win for Pacquiao who dominated from start to finish.

              I do think that Morales was washed up but he was still just 29 years old in the rematch.

                  Then again Pacquiao became a pro as a 16 year old and is the same age as Morales was right now.

                  It was obvious however that Morales was not the same while Pacquiao is still going strong. No one can take away that first win over Barrera from Pacquiao though.

                    Barrera had already had 60 fights before his first fight with Manny, and was close to his 30th birthday. He had been through a lot of wars.
