Josh find it tough against Ramirez who wouldn't fight in angle and one dimentional. Pac would have edge him by decision...

Really. Because the fight I saw he won fairly comfortably, much wider than the BS cards suggested. Should have been a stoppage if not for a poor ref. And it was, to be honest a below par performance also. He performed better against Prograis, Barynchyk and Postol, than against Ramirez. Pac would be a tough fight, and if he performs as he did against Ramirez it would not be so good. But if he hits his top form he has a chance. But as of right now Josh is right, he gets very little credit if he won that.

Any top fighter in and around welterweight hurts pac right now. He better hang it up before it gets ugly.

Begging for a Manny fight after the Ugas loss? Taylor should be beneath that as a unified champ. Probably Bob made him say this.

Yep , 8 others have beat him already and he is old with aging legs. Just leave the senator alone

Begging? What the hell are you on?

The benefit is the money! Probably make more fighting Pacquiao, than Crawford, plus Pacquiao wants to fight in the UK!

If he were to beat him yes he is right, at this stage it’s merely an economic reason. And I would add at this point manny is no longer a big draw in the USA without a major dance partner. The only place the fight does business is in Scotland at Celtic Park. Having said all that, im not sure that he had the actual tools and style to beat manny even at this point.
