Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao 'Ready to Go' for Conor Benn Fight in Saudi Arabia in May/June

Dont do it Pac. Fight Floyd.

What for? Why would you want to see Manny get embarrassed again?

Against Conor, We'd put money on Manny to beat him even in advanced age. Without whatever supplements Conor is just another fighter, and that's what isn't going to work against Pacquiao. Ugas smashed him because of a significant size and reach advantage. Benn has neither.

im thinking this fight gets derailed because of a pac injury & eddie has to put eggie back on tinder again

Just KO Amir Khan in SA and call it a night.

Pretty sure Manny still has enough to compete and likely beat Benn. He stays in shape year round and hasn't lost a ton of speed or power looking at recent gym and sparring work.

That said I really hope he stays away from Crawford or any real threat. Pac being my favorite all time fighter, I cringe to think of seeing him KO'd as a last memory. I think of his last performance as beating Thurman. Ugas won but it was his defense and size that made Pac look bad. Smart by Ugas, but ****ty fight.

Though if Pac came back and beat an elite guy, he enters best ever territory. That would be something.

Dont do it Pac. Fight Floyd.

Don’t worry. Last time he was ready to go, he ran to Bob’s son in law to get stitches once Nevada delayed Floyd’s jail start date so they could fight.

Should they sign a deal, He will probably have some surprise ailment once the date gets close.

Overturned what decision?

Conor Benn won the hearing. The BBBoC don't have powers to change decisions, they aren't the one's making any decisions or granting verdicts.

All they can do is what they've done, appeal the decision that they lost.

But to answer your question as of now, no the appeal hearing decision hasn't been made or announced. But it will be imminently.

Yes so if they win the appeal the decision is overturned. It's completely irrelevant if it's the BBBOC themselves or someone else.

The reason I asked is Hearn said Benns next fight would be in the UK if the decision stood. So.......

The face of British boxing.

lets see, a guy whos won multiple world titles across lots of different weights v a guy who has won zero world titles & probably never will & is best known for being a comical drug cheat & son of a very good boxer

The shame of England Hearn n Benn

Thought it was bad he was trying to steer berlanga into a huge payday he didn’t deserve on the back of fighting journeymen but this is putrid
