George Foreman and Bernard Hopkins are two reasons Pacquiao should keep going

[just the facts]

Why didn’t Spence fight Pacquiao? You said it was happening.

Haven't you heard? Spence got an eye injury. Torn retina. It was all over the news. I know your not very smart but try to keep up.

People told Bernard Hopkins he should retire after the loss to Cazalghe. His trainer even said Hopkins should retire publicly.

Hopkins was 43 years old, just looked awful and had already cemented a hall
of fame career.

He won the light heavyweight championship twice after that fight and fought 12 more times, netting millions and millions of dollars.

George Foreman lost 9 rounds to Tommy Morrison at age 44. Everyone told him that he should retire. He won the heavyweight championship in his very next fight and fought five more times, netting millions and millions of dollars.

Pacquiao shouldn’t retire.

Manny don’t have punchers chance like Forman and also not as slick as bebop. He’s a punching bag with cramped legs.

Didn’t you hear when the financing fell through for Crawford-Pacquiao? It was all over the news. I know you’re not very smart (don’t know the difference between your and you’re for example) but try to keep up.

Hopkins made millions of dollars making fights you wouldn’t watch.

And Foreman would not have knocked out an Ugas level fighter in his 40s.

Foreman lost to Shannon Briggs. He beat Lou Savarese by split decision. He beat Axel Schultz by majority decision. He lost to Tommy Morrison and beat Alex Stewart by majority decision.

Lets not change history.

Ugas was 35, name a 35 year old that decision-ed 40s foreman. Foreman was 5 years older than current pac when he should have won the decision against briggs and when he beat savarese.

In fact, Foreman did knock out a fighter better than 35 year old ugas in the lineal champion moorer.

Foreman as a 40s fighter was far superior than pac as a 40s fighter, it is what it is, sorry if you dont like the reality.


And hopkins being paid millions isnt indicative of his skill. I could name any number of untalented pop bands that make millions doesnt mean they are talented. DAZN is hemorrhaging money and GBP was mismanaged by ******* addict DLH. Promoters pay outs dont equate to ability. That he paid hopkins millions doesnt negate my point that he was a spoil sport and tried to get DQ wins by faking injuries, faking receiving low blows and falsely claim he was pushed out of the ring instead of KTFO out of the ring.

Foremon a heavyweight with ATG power and Hopkins a cagey boxer who didn't rely on natural athleticism vs Pacquiao who relies heavily on speed and footwork who isn't fighting in his natural weight class

Even though that fight was NEVER signed, some ignorant douche bag actually came on this site and posted "Crawford's fighting Manny and all you Crawford detractors need to STFU. Like he had some insight and was scolding us Crawford.

Oh wait, that ignorant douche bag was YOU!

Pacquiao shouldn’t retire.

For the love of God dude! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get Pac hurt? Pac is a shot fighter now. His body had betrayed him last night.

The longer he fights the greater are his chances of getting seriously hurt. Let the all-time great Senator from the Philippines retire and enjoy the rest of his life with his family and the ones he loves.

I didn't like the type of punishment he absorbed last night. Although Ugas wasn't trying to hurt him but yet he still has eaten more flush punches than he ever has in the last two fights alone than he has absorbed in a entire decade.

[Get em up]

The OP is clearly an idiot. Its uncommon for ANYONE at 42 years of age to do the things Pac is doing. Much less be the absolute best at something as physical as boxing. Athletes DON'T GET BETTER WITH AGE. B Hop and Foreman are 2 people out of THOUSANDS. As another poster said they are the exception not the rule. Pac falls in the same category as far as I'm concerned. Fighting at the highest level at his age in a testament to the man he is. Win or lose.

Pacquiao signed to fight Crawford.

Even though that fight was NEVER signed, some ignorant douche bag actually came on this site and posted "Crawford's fighting Manny and all you Crawford detractors need to STFU. Like he had some insight and was scolding us Crawford.

Oh wait, that ignorant douche bag was YOU!

You would have said the same thing after Morrison beat Foreman or after Calzaghe beat Hopkins.

Hopkins never got tagged as much as manny did ..he was always safety first

Foreman will always have obliterating power ...he would have a chance to ko Joshua right now if he landed on him


the smaller a fighter the quicker these lose their abilities and the quicker they enter their prime (historically)

Manny doesn't have the engine anymore ,he took far too many punches from somebody he would have dominated in his prime

It was good while it lasted but it doesn't hurt as much to me anymore he's been on the decline for years it's amazing he managed to beat thurman the way he did and looked sensational in other fights since bradly 2 (the true showing of his decline to me personally)

Manny is a legend and when he said he tried his best in the post fight it brought a tear to my eye

But mannys not upset and nor should his fans he's done himself proud and will forever be remembered as an icon equally as much as Muhammed Ali

We are lucky to have witnessed his fights live whether in broadcast or in person
