    Pacquiao's so-called comeback against a no-name Mexican boxer is a joke.

    If he had any guts, he'd challenge Tank Davis at lightweight. But no, he's predictably going for a cheap cash grab with an easy opponent. Let's be real—Tank would destroy him now and even in their primes, Davis would have secured a late stoppage win without breaking a sweat.

    Yeah lets drain and make a zombie version of 45 yo Pacquiao lol
    ​​​​​​
    If tank moves up at 147, then I can see Pacquiao winning wide UD or even knock out Davis. This is the only reasonable weight for the two fighters. I'm assuming Pacquiao might be in the 150s now with his inactivity.

    ​​​​​​I don't think Tank has the power to trouble Pacquaio. Might be the opposite. Pac power will trouble tank. But Pacquiao is old now and anything can happen in boxing, Tank could be very well knock out Pacquaio, so i'm not removing that possibility. Still rooting for Pacquaio to win though AT "147"

      Tank has more power than JMM and is a lot faster, he would put old Manny to sleep right now, they looking at Barrios for a reason.

        JMM competed at way level higher to even compare Davis power at this point of his career.

        Also JMM doesn't go for kills, he knockout fighters with one punch counter. Completely different fighters and styles

          I can compare by seeing them them both, Davis punches harder, at this stage he will knock Manny out, Floyd too at this stage, Davis has real power but his speed in getting on the target is devastating and he is prime, the old champs are not going to beat the real elites at heading onto 50 yrs old.

            One only defeated few top 10 ranked opponents in his division vs a guy who competed against the best of his generation, and the only one who knockout Pacquaio close to his prime. Only in your dream Davis has better power lol.

            Me personally i don't want to compare because Tank needs better to opposition to even discuss this. Currently, Marquez is more proven, anyone with brain would pick him having more power than Davis.

              Ok whatever you say, we will pick it up again if it eventuates, I got a good boxing brain and I don't think JMM punched as hard as what Davis does, no way of knowing.

                    Pac is free to do as he pleases, but his fans should not expect much.
                    He will not come back and be any better than when he left.
                    His power abandoned him long ago
                    As did his reflexes

                    If he's ''bored'' or ''needs money'', ok.
                    Pac boi's should be prepared for a letdown.


                    And no, there will not be a May vs Pac 2 !!!!!
