[Roadblock]

I suppose pac can fight anyone if floyd don't want rematch with him. Floyd fights tenshin makes Floyd's chicken to many

Are you on the Turps again?

manny wants to get knocked out into retirement

Dont underestimate an old guy that can punch.

i think he must if hes desperate for Ennis to make his name off of Pac, as its good for boxing?. But didnt think Floyd fighting Bud, Spence, Thurman, Brook, Bradley was good for the sport? I wont press him on the matter though, it is what it is.

Yes it’s very good for boxing. Helps elevate a young, talented boxer that many think could be special.

I never said anything like that. Floyd is retired. He does exhibitions. He hasn’t mentioned a comeback.

Manny is mentioning a comeback. So I want the best fight for my viewing experience. IMO that is Boots v Manny.

The great PAC is about to fight former K-1 champion Rukiya Anpo in a three-round 152-pound boxing exhibition in Saitama, Japan.

Where is the same outrage his loyal loony fans had when Floyd fought a kickboxer in Japan?
Where was the same outrage when the great PAC fought a YouTuber from Korea?

The difference is that Anpo fights at 154, a class above Pac. Mayweather picked a super bantamweight, told him it was going to be sparring with no knockdowns, and then did what he did to a guy who was probably at least 6 divisions smaller. How do you not understand the difference?

I have a feeling they're going to stack the hell out of this undercard if it happens

But why is a old guy fighting such a talented guy a good thing? You won't expect lennox Lewis to comeback and fight Jared anderson.
Yes, floyd Does exhibitions now but when Floyd was active, wasn't floyd fighting bud, thurman, spence a good viewing experience, that could help future superstar, it's called passing torch?

If floyd came back now you wouldn't expect him to fight ennis. You'd expect floyd to fight another old timer.
Bud found enough excuses to not fight Ennis, whether they were valid is open for debate. Pac s reasons to not go anywhere near Bud or Ennis would be valid.

These are EXHIBITION fights that MANNY and his fans claimed would hurt Floyd’s legacy yet he is now doing them.
So let’s say I understand the difference in weight, please justify Manny fighting the Korean YouTuber.

Got nothing there, other than that DK YOO badly needed exposing. Guy is a fraud, and if Manny could make some money delivering that much needed beat down, I'm all for it. Didn't watch it though. Also would have been fine with Floyd doing it though. And, you know, if Floyd can keep making money doing those exhibitions, I don't see the problem. I'm not paying for them or watching them, and I don't know who is, but he's still doing them, so he must still be making money. I figure it's just jealousy from the haters.

I just answered that question. This thread is about Manny discussing a comeback. No need to mention Lewis or Floyd as they have not said they would be coming back.

Stop trying to make this a Floyd thread. Stick to the thread topic.

If manny chooses to duck either if he comes back that is on him. That is why I see no need for him to comeback. Besides, no one wants to see Barrios on PPV again.

I’m in agreement. Sadly, I was in the DK Yoo bandwagon when I watched his videos. He had all the right moves, stances, strikes etc. as a martial artist, I was hoping to see more than what he was putting out.

What a letdown lol
