Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao targets 'very winnable' Mario Barrios fight ahead of 46th birthday

[A.B Counterhooks]

Pacman is being advised very poorly if he thinks el azteca is 'very winnable' fighting with 46 and a ton of wear n tear not to mention coming off retirement, Maybe he wants to find out the hard way. You do your thing manny. Wth

[steeve steel]

At this point, more of a 70-30 fight in favour of Barrios. But hey, it's Manny. He can do what he wants.

[Oregonian]

Just Don't do it, Manny.

Your legacy is already written.

He’s just following Floyd’s blueprint! Isn’t that great?

You know boxing is in a bad spot when a 46 year old Manny is making a comeback

Isn't 58 year old Mike Tyson having an official boxing match?

This is different its a legit title fight, I feel Floyd would beat Barrios by a UD and Manny can also win because he can punch and if he hurts Barrios he can finish him, Barrios also came from 135 so is not a big WW, Manny is an atg and Barrios is rather ordinary, which is why they chose him, Ugas is not clear a yardstick because it was the best Ugas that beat Manny and its was a broken done and dusted Ugas that Barrios beat.

Lost to Ugas at 42 + 3 year layoff + fighting the guy who beat Ugas = good idea?

Yeah, at his age this is what happens if it goes to later rounds: u gas.

I just pray not to see an old Pacman knocked out cold, think Roy Jones vs Maccarinelli.

[MusoMeanderings]

Dangerous fight for Pacman. These never end well for legendary fighters.

RJJ, JChavez, Sugar Ray Leonard, the list goes on.

Only exception was George Foreman.

Bernard Hopkins?

Bernard Hopkins?

Yep. When he got knocked out of the ring by Joe Smith, I won a lot of money. Joe Smith was the underdog. Go figure.

I remember that. He went one too far.
