    I think it's just to cover themselves if something went wrong with Pacquiao and to not take blame. If they placed Pac at a rank, they can undo it just as easily. Nothing is set in stone. Especially for a guy who hasn't fought in like 4 years.

    I think there are just a lot of folks that now want to tip toe the idea around having Pac fight at his age for the obvious reason of big money, but don't want to take blame if something went wrong.

          Remember when Freddie said he would ask Manny to retire if he felt he had lost some of his zip and form. This was years ago when Manny was still at his peak. Obviously Freddie didn't mean it. When money speaks the truth stays silent.

            Being in his corner is the best position for roach to “protect” manny just in case

              freddie did tell Manny to hang it up after the loss to horn (that's why they have a short fallout after that)... Freddie never said that he'll stop training Manny once he starts to decline. that's where you got it mixed up.

                Ranking someone 5th that just returned from retirement isn’t a mistake.

                It’s corrupt.

                    Spence was the champion. Not ranked #1.

                    He got outfought by a better man.

                    Similar to Manny going in as champ against JMM and getting ktfo or going in as WBO champ against Floyd and losing 10-2, 10-2, 9-3.

                    Sometimes the other guy is just better.
