When a fighter prefaces his statement with, "I'm not making any excuses, but...", get ready to hear an excuse.
Father Time respects nobody, especially fighters.
Pac had a great run, was the most exciting fighter of his era and entertained a lot of people.
Now it's time to walk away.
Pac's a living legend and a all-time great so let's all take it easy on him. If he says his legs were cramping him then I believe him because he wasn't moving them at all last night. His feet were stuck in cement.
After all, the man is 42 years old. He is now showing signs of physical decline and aging which signifies that it is time for him to retire from boxing for good. I know that five years ago Pac would have mopped the canvas with this dude.
I picked Manny to win but I didn't know the degree of his skill deterioration. It's a good thing that he didn't fight an Erroll Spence or Terence Crawford last night because now he is shot fighter.
Pac isn't allowed reasons for not performing as expected, He's discriminated against.
But Pac didn't do too bad. DLH and others fighter Pac destroyed who made excuses weren't crucified for it. You can understand dlh and Hatton making excuses as a former flyweight beat them so bad it's hard to live it down. But if you thought Pac looked slow and not athletic and off Pac is giving a reason so not excuse. If your late for work in the morning and your boss asks you why, you saying a lot of traffic isn't an excuse, it's the reason. So there's difference isn't there?
But Pac didn't do too bad and no shame
He has an excuse. He is now an old and shot fighter. If he couldn't defeat a 35 year old Yordenis Ugas with four losses on his record; Then we might as well consider his career as an elite fighter over.
Manny will be remembered as the excuse maker, he even had one in an interview where they mention Salas trained a guy that beat him in the early days, and Manny had an excuse for that its pathetic he always tries to take the win away from the guy that beat, yep Manny the Maker of Excuses.
Yesterday this time PAC was hailed as the best boxer since boxing. Today with anther excuse he’s helped as the greatest excuse mare sore losing, no appreciative zero to enter boxing. The better men always beat you no matter how much you believe in you, give the winners their Roos like you got yours!
