    He should stay retired

      Manny lost to a 35 year old Ugas about 3 years ago and Barrios out a comprehensive beatdown on Yordenis last year.

      Barrios is no world beater but he's plenty good enough to put a beating on 45 year old Manny.

        Not that I am in a position to judge, but it's terrifying that Manny is still fighting for money at this age while Floyd meanwhile has built a business empire, and is flourishing. Manny clearly spent his wealth on other people, and god bless him, but as some point this train has to stop. He needs to invest in Wall Street or something, make your money work for you Manny.
        They are all fighting for the same reasons, Manny, Floyd or whomever retired and comes back to fighting whether exhibition or real fight. Both are not necessarily fighting for money but fighting for fear of running out of money. Anyone properly invested and have no fear of running out of money will never come back to getting hit in the head whether real fight or exhibition. I believe both guys are rich. It's just that when they see their expenses significantly outweigh their income streams, they naturally move towards what they know best to make money

          They picked Barrios for a reason, don't be fooled by Ugas, he was wrecked by Spence and was not half the fighter when Barrios beat him, I think even this version of Manny will beat Barrios.

            Fact's! I remembered these those fights, and their outcomes. I was going to virtually make the same comment, but you beat me to the punch PBR Streetgang.
            If we ever got were to fight inside the squared circle, I would definitely have to watch out for those quick hands.
            My compliments on your recall, and your astute analysis on the outcome if this fight were to take place.
            Retire Manny you've done more than enough during your boxing career! Manny is one of the greatest fighters who have ever put on a pair of boxing gloves.

              He should stay away from Ennis just like how Bob Arum got him to stay away from Crawford.

                True, but a fight with Barrios or any young/ in their prime fighter is not a good idea for Manny at this point ..

                Respect if he does fight Barrios, but he should fight someone like Ghost Guerrero or Victor Ortiz if he’s going to fight imo

                  At this point, I don't even think Manny can beat Barrios, which says a lot about a fighter I once revered, and still adulate.

                    He's not going to beat either one of them. He hasn't won a fight in 5 years, this is nonsense.

                      He hasn't won in 5 years and he hasn't fought in 3 years. He has no chance against any legitimate welterweights in 2024.
