Pacquiao - Tank fight rumor is true

[IceTrayDaGang]

Bring it. I'd love to see this after Pac takes care of Barrios Margarito style

Question is, does Tank really want it? He's only had one fight at 140 and he demanded a rehydration clause for that fight.

Pac will tell him to kick rocks if he tries that crap with him. 147 or no fight if I'm Team Pac. Oh, and he better beat Roach in impressive fashion before he even thinks about a mega fight with Pacquiao aswell.

Davis would have a panic attack in the ring against Manny and will probably faked an injury to get the fight called off. Tank is weak minded. He cannot deal with the pressure.

who's fault is that? who told oscar not to rehydrate properly. yall acting like roach and pac knew ahead of time that oscar wasnt gonna rehydrate properly.. maybe oscar should have got on Floyd's training program, since floyd has been on record saying he keep himself hydrated at all times during training.

"I focus on lean proteins, lots of fruits and vegetables, and I stay hydrated," he says. He's consistently been incredibly disciplined with his career and healthy lifestyle habits. "I've never smoked or drunk alcohol or taken drugs," Floyd tells us. "Discipline got me to the top, and I still live by that.

Oscar should have been on Floyd's program. Floyd went from severely dehydrated to 12 round fight ready in hours.

I answered that already. It is a reflection of how little I think about Barrios.

So you're essentially pretending that a shot to pieces Pacquaio is the heavy favourite to beat Barrios when he objectively isn't. Why? It's ridiculous.

You keep avoiding answering a direct question with word salad and questions.

What direct question have I not answered? Pretty sure I have answered every question that's been asked. I make a habit of doing that.

You are using a ton of extra words when your argument is manny is fighting for money but is choosing to get beat up by a guy that isn’t the most lucrative option rather than choosing to get beat up by the most lucrative option?

That makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense, as stated, he is likely fighting Barrios because the risk/reward ratio makes the most sense for him. Barrios will earn him alot of money and it's the safest of the fights he can make. Still doesn't change the fact he has no chance of winning it.

The title has no bearing on the money- unless he wins and it sets up a more lucrative fight.

Ok, and?

The WBC title is still an incentive to that take fight.

i respect your opinion, Dan... But there is NO way, NO way, you think Haney will stop manny?? even this version of Manny will survive all 12 rounds with Haney, possibly stopping Haney instead. There is NO way, Haney can stop manny. I just cannot see it.

I just think Pacquauio is that far gone. He can't move his feet any more, he looks like an old man and I saw him get beaten up by a kickboxer.

I don't rate Haney at all, and Pacquaio is one of the greatest fighter I ever saw with my own two eyes. But at 46 I don't think he see's 12 with basically any fighter that's ranked.

Pacquaio even from 6 years ago at age 40 and well beyond his best beats the living daylights out of Haney but he's not that fighter any more.

yes, but Haney is not a power puncher... Manny might chase Haney around and get schooled for all 12 rounds (even tho, i still cant see this playing out), but there is no way Haney will stop Manny. I think Pac's experience alone will be enough to beat guys like Haney, Ryan, Rolly, etc.

You have to remember, Ugas is a big guy and a real WW, and that kick boxer was also a big guy... Haney, Ryan, Rolly, etc.. they are not real WW yet, not imo. So guys like them, I believe Pac will win based on his experience alone.

also, in the Ugas fight, Manny landed some decent shot.. even tho he loss the fight, he landed some good shots on Ugas... if those shots land on Haney, Ryan, Rolly, etc.. they are going down.

Yeah he's not a power puncher at all but I just think at 46 he's going to have little resistance at this point.

It's like when Ray Leonard came back after 6 years and got stopped by Camacho who wasn't a puncher. Despite the fact he'd stood up and never been stopped by the likes of Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Norris etc.

You can't beat the clock. I don't see Pacquaio going 12 with any ranked fighter at all at this point. I hope he does I mean I'd love to see him do the impossible and win but it's not going to happen.

Its the vs a legend part.

Let's call it what it is a money grab vs a shot fighter

Manny is shot. Yes it's a money grab. But Pacquiao on paper, at 147, even at 46, Pac would be Tanks toughest challenge to date. That's also true for any current top lightweight, super lightweight, or welterweight that hasnt faced Jaron Ennis.

Umm, it was DLHs fault. I’m just pointing out the reality of the situation. I thought DLH was an idiot for fighting at a weight he had not made in nearly a decade. However, he was so thirsty for that big win that he didn’t get versus Tito, Floyd or Hop that he gave away his leverage and paid for it. ♂️
