Pacquiao - Tank fight rumor is true

[IronDanHamza]

i honestly feel pac has a better chance at winning against tank than he has against barrios!! bruh, tank is the same size as manny, if not even smaller!! pac eats these type of fighters up! manny's experience alone will be too much for tank. i cant see anything that tank does that will give manny issues. but with barrios, all the advantage is on barrios side... where as for tank, he doesnt have anything that will give manny problems, imo. it will be very similar to pac vs broner.

You're entitled to your opinion. I think it's wishful thinking x 1 trillion.

It won't look anything like Pac Broner because the Pacquaio that fought Adrien Broner in 2019 does not exist. The Pacquaio that "eats those fighters up" does not exist. He is a geriatric old man who can barely move at this point.

That 2019 version of Pacquao yes I'd pick to totally dominate Tank. The Pacquaio of 2015 who was P4P #2 I'd pick to brutally stop him and a prime 2009 Pacquaio I'd pick to do a Ricky Hatton esque 2 round job on him.

But that person no longer exists. Tank would put Pacquaio in hospital. That would be sanctioned murder. Nobody should be talking about that and if Tank even talks about taking that fight he's more pathetic than I already consider him.

The why isn't for me to determine. There's a plethora of reasons why that could be. I don't know why or why not. Nobody knows if he has an agenda or not.

For him to publicly say that Pacquaio could beat any ranked fighter at this moment in time makes me believe he must have an agenda, let alone Tank.

again, what agenda could he possibly have? Jeff explained why he believes manny will beat tank... not like Dunn who gave no explanation aside from saying pac will win, only because the pac fans started making post that if manny wins, it will go down in history. which is why Dunn switched his stance and started dissing Barrios so that if manny wins, then he can say it's not a huge accomplishment since Barrios is not a good fighter. Dunn went from agreeing that Pac vs barrios is a waste of time, and will be similar to Joppy vs duran to now saying Barrios is a weak WW and that manny will win. But with Jeff, he never switched his stance, there's no pattern unlike Dunn.

Jeff believes manny will beat tank because of the weight where they'll fight at.... Jeff said manny vs barrios is at 147 so if the fight against tank is at 147, then manny wins. I dont disagree with him, because tank has never fought at 147. Do you think tank can beat/ko manny at 147 like you are stating? and if yes, based on what???

Could have loads. Might not like his hair cut. Might not like his music taste. Might not like his boxing boots. There's a plethora of reasons why he might. I'm not much interested in why or why not.

I think he has an agenda. He's putting Pacquaio in a lose lose situation.

Jeff also said manny doesnt deserve a title shot after returning back to boxing with a long layoff... so if Jeff has an agenda, why would he say that about manny? that manny doesnt deserve a title shot?

“I think people probably would have thought that, if Tank didn’t have that bad performance, I think everybody would have thought that he has zero chance,” Mayweather stated, referencing the near-escape Tank had against Lamont Roach Jr back in March. According to the trainer, the majority draw has affected the WBA Lightweight Champion’s dominance in fans’ eyes. “After that performance that Tank had, believe me, there’s going to be a lot of people that’s going to say Manny Pacquiao got a chance,” he concluded. Unless Gervonta Davis exhibits a polar opposite performance against Roach in their rematch, the reservations are definitely going to be there despite the massive age gap.

I think O'Shaqie Foster would KO Pacquaio at 147 today, let alone Tank.

What do I base that on? Think I've made that incredibly clear; I base it on the fact that Manny Pacquaio is 46 years old and will be 47 years old this year. He made his pro debut THIRTY YEARS AGO. I base it on the fact that the last time he stepped in the ring, he got beaten up by someone who isn't even a boxer. I base it on the fact that there has never been a single time in the history of boxing that a legend has not made a comeback to boxing in their 40's after a long multiple year spell without a win to jump straight back into the world title picture and not get totally embarrassed and stopped. I base it on the fact that he he can barely move his leg, that his reaction time is extremely slow. And mainly I base it on the fact that he is totally shot and washed up.

You are enormously underestimating how shot to pieces Pacquaio is today. We have seen this same film happen over and over and over again, when legends return to the ring when they belong no where near one and EVERY TIME it ends terribly for them. This will be no different and if he fought Tank it would be sad. I'd give him 3 rounds max vs Tank before getting brutally KO'd.

I don't see how that make sense when Pacquaio would get killed by Lamont Roach as well.

Either way, he has an agenda on that topic, that's just what I think. Anyone picking Pacquaio to beat top level fighters in 2025 has to have some kind of agenda or angle.

because Manny got KO in his recent fight??? Last KO was from marquez... so how could tank possibly KO manny at 147, let alone Foster?

I never deny that manny is not shot. What am i saying is that, i dont see Tank knocking Manny out. Not at 147.

I think you are underestimating Manny here, he might be shot, but i believe his experience alone will get him out of a KO.

He might lose, but he's not getting KO'd.

again, based on zero evidence... just like how Roach KO tank??? you are making you claims with nothing to back up aside from how you feel... Roach has 10 KO... last KO was in 2020... If Ugas didnt KO manny at 147, it's safe to say tank wont either, and roach has zero chance at knocking pac out at 147.
