I really hope the Pacquiao-Barrios fight doesn’t happen.

CBS sports is reporting it for July 19th.

Wow. People still give him shlt for the Jeff horn robbery but imagine losing to Mario barrios. Embarrassing

Pbc is so pathetic

He already lost to Ugas right before Barrios made Ugas look as old as Pac.

[IceTrayDaGang]

Shouldn't be sanctioned

He's a legend but old and couldn't do a thing in his last pro fight and looked awful in that exhibition he had

Money talks though

to be fair,, ugas is HUGE!!!! but he did look bad in his exi fight tho but that japanese guy was huge 2x the size of manny.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

I think Barrios wins this fight. Like a 8-4 or 9-3 type of fight.
I predicted Ugas last time too.

Pacquiao not getting stopped but Barrios beats him up worse than Ugas.

Manny's style is just not ideal for aging fighters. He just doesn't have the punch resistance of Foreman or the elusiveness of Hopkins.

[IronDanHamza]

lol.. maybe manny has a slight chance.... maybe.

Prime Pacquaio I’d pick to win easily.

Past prime Pacquaio but still elite (2012-2015) I’d also pick to win relatively easily

But today’s 46 year old version? Only ends one way (vs Ennis)

Pacquaio is one of the greatest fighters that has ever lived. He doesn’t belong any where near a boxing ring now. It’s only going to damage his legacy losing to the likes of Barrios who he would beat in 6 rounds or less in his prime.

Yeah but that was a bait and switch. Pbc did pac dirty. Ugas posted videos of him sparring with southpaws which makes no sense since his opponent was right handed.

Ugas knew that he was the replacement fighter for either Spence or Pacquiao if one of them pulled out, and both were southpaws. That wasn't a bait and switch at all, it was just good planning. Pac was ancient and Spence was recovering from a serious injury, there was a reasonable chance one of them wouldn't be able to fight.

I always hoped Manny would avoid the same old fate of old fighters getting beat up by young guys. But at some point I stopped caring because these guys are gonna do what they're gonna do. If not even his wife can stop him then just fine, stop caring.

[famicommander]

Good planning would be to have another fighter in retainer. It was a bait and switch. It's moronic to have a guy spar someone who's a lefty while preparing for a righty in the off chance one fighter did pull out.

bait and switch. Simple as that

Nonsense. Ugas literally had a patsy opponent scheduled just in case he got the call for the main event. It was a foregone conclusion he'd beat that guy, so he had a few southpaws in sparring in case he got the call to fight Spence or Pac and that's what happened. There's no conspiracy here, it's standard stuff.

[famicommander]

It's not a conspiracy it's in the realm of possibility.

Pac is the guy whos never pulled out of a big fight and had no reason to pull out of this one. He was the main draw. Spencerina was the only one with a built in excuse to pull out therefore was the only one that could have been replaced by ugas.

Critical thinking, nay common sense isnt your strong suit and thats ok.

Pac was 9000 years old for that fight and he's always a risk to pop for PEDs because he's obviously a major user. Enough with your nonsense. Ugas prepared for a possibility that ended up coming true and whooped Manny's ass.

[famicommander]

Irrelevant and false

You're mad cause you got proven wrong.

Just admit your wrong like a man and don't get emotional like a woman

You didn't prove anything, you just shouted conspiracy nonsense because you can't accept the fact that your hero fought too late into his career and got humiliated by Ugas.

[famicommander]

the conspiracy here is Pacquiao being on steroids after never having failed a drug test which had nothing to do with the topic at hand and you brought up because you were proven wrong and got emotional.


but yeah ok buddy. I'll let you have the last word since it's so important to you lmao

Pacquiao ducked Mayweather because he didn't want stringent drug testing, at different points claiming he was afraid of needles and that having his blood drawn so close to the fight would weaken him. That's the reason we had to wait until 2015 to see the fight... because Pac didn't want to take a drug test. That's an admission of guilt.
