Comments Thread For: If He Chooses To Retire, Manny Pacquiao Can Walk Away With Dignity

[Roadblock]

WTF you mean excuse? Dude's leg gave up on him mid fight and that's because he's too old and stubborn enough to think he's still that fast

Spence's withdrawal sounds a lot more like an excuse than Pac's leg cramping

8 losses 25 excuses, you're just repeating what I said, fck Mannys excuses every loss he has them, its BS saving face for his failure and taking the win away from the winner fck Mannys BS.

Say what this dude fought Conor McGregor an 0-0 mma fighter to keep his zero intact.

Floyd just wanted easy fights Ali, Srl, even Oscar didn't want easy fights.

Floyd needed every single advantage or he wasn't fighting. Strictly Bush league

Shows you know very little about the sport.

You know these things because Floyd fought in the social media era. The guys you listed didn’t.

Canelo, who is post Mayweather, we know all the things he asks for.

As for easy fights, that is just dumb. If you’re so great that you make a fight that is close on paper look easy that isn’t something that you should be knocked for.

Of course you’re a bitter manny slurper so we know why you’re doing it.

This right here. Floyd himself wasn’t even trying to chase legacy. He quickly realized that he would lose if he did so instead he rigged his fights to his advantage as much as possible. He got the $$$ he wanted but he’ll have to accept taking a backseat to Pac in terms of legacy

So how exactly is he a first ballot hofer and ranked ahead of Manny on every credible list of ATG fighters compiled by boxing media and is ranked ahead of him on boxrec and espn as the best boxer of the era?

The dignity left when the excuses showed up.

Well that's what he's criticized for, putting his branding (0L, money) over legacy. All those fighters fought to prove they were the best because that was how branding worked in their era. C'mon now, that's why we call people that take risks and fight for the sake of fighting to be the best as 'throwbacks'

[Floyd is TBE]

He got an L from a guy who took the fight on a weeks notice then made excuses when he lost. Pac should be walking away in shame.

Fk the media. They push an agenda, which is $ based. The people will always be the true judge

Pac fought a live guy half his age and bigger than him on two weeks notice. Something Mayweather would never do. Pac made excuses because he feels he let people/himself down with the loss. That’s a normal human emotion. Can’t blame him for that. Now move along and watch reruns of May vs Guerrero, Ortiz, McGregor, Berto, Japanese Kickboxer, and YouTuber. Only thing entertaining about any of those fights was switching the channel to watch Seinfeld reruns

They're both welterweights. Shut the **** up. Ugas is 35, that's how old Pac was when people were calling him washed and past his prime. Pac lost fair and square to a guy whose best was behind him. Stop with this glass half full ****. Pac lost. There is no bright side. He looks worst for losing despite how *******s are trying to spin it.

I agree. Manny was this sport's best ambassador of his era. I thought he represented himself, the sport of boxing, the Philippines and all of mankind with both honor, dignity, style, class and grace.
