        manny’s longevity is surprising and impressive even if it is in part due to matchmaking

        fighting these guys back to back prolonged manny’s career: Vargas Horn Lucas Broner

          Horn was a tough fight though

          All the wrestling and head butts and rabbit punches

          I think pac was robbed but that fight must've taken a toll on him

          Horn for pac was like kostyas Hatton moment.

            I think he was still peak at the time of Mosley and even Marquez

            He just didn't look good when Mosley stopped exchanging after pac dropped him

            He never looks good against Marquez

            The best manny ever looked against Marquez was oddly enough the fight jmm put his ass to sleep

            Manny looked ferocious in that fight after jmm dropped him

            He was tearing up jmm until jmm turned the lights out

                My conspiracy theory is manny d1cked off in training camp for the Horn fight and paid the price on fight night

                hey I’m going on a nice vacation to Australia to fight a random schoolteacher

                  He was at the back end of his absolute peak when Mayweather beat him 118-110, in fact, I would say that was the best Pac ever. He did well to survive 12 rounds vs past prime Mayweather, as Mayweather would definitely have wanted to get him out of there, but Pac survived to see the final bell. I salute him for that. My sig is worthy of respect. Nash out.

                    yeah

                    that margarito match was taxing on manny

                    he was pushed hard despite beating marg’s azz bad

                    i think manny was extra fired up for the final Marquez bout and trained extra hard

                    He had to win after getting what most thought was a gift decision in their prior fight

                      I agree but Floyd was even older..but that was the excuse used to not give Floyd credit
