Pacquiao - Tank fight rumor is true

[djtmal]

Why would Tank not entertain a Pacquaio fight? He can become a champ in a 4th division vs a legend. And He will get a bigger payday than he would vs anybody at 135 or 140.

Its the vs a legend part.

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

[IronDanHamza]

There is no dispute about him being shot or old.

Right so why are you pretending that he isn't and has any kind of chance vs any Top 10-20 WW?

The dispute is if he has no chance to win any of these fights, as you stated, including Barrios, why is he not taking the most lucrative fight if he is fighting for money? The title is irrelevant.

Well, the title isn't irrelevant for starts.

But furthremore, as I said, he's fighting Barrios because the risk to reward ratio is the best option. Not rocket science.

He doesn't have a chance. I'm baffled that you're not only pretending that he does but prentending like it's Barrios that has no chance, that's just beyond bizarre.

How many times has an boxer in their late 30's-mid 40'S returned to the ring after 4+ years off and jumped straight into the world title picture and done anything but lose terribly? I think never. There's a reason for that.

We've seen this film before, the ending won't change. No fighter at 46 years old who's not fought for years and looked totally shot in the fight he did have all those years prior is going to magically come back and be able to compete at the top level.

He isn’t Hatton. Hatton fought him at home. No guarantee JMM goes to England. Besides, wasn’t Senchenko instead of Paulie, not JMM?

Yeah I know, he's MORE shot than Hatton. This is even worse.

Right but so what if he fought him at home? It's irrelevant. And yes Marquez was hypothetical just like any fight Pacquaio has is. The point is Hatton could have approached fighters who brought in more money but he didn't because Senchenko was the lowest risk with still a high reward. It's the same thing.

You talking to Bug Dunn he don't care he can watch Manny get beat up bad this the same loser who wished he died in a plane crash

[ODLH Chicano Goat]

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.

[SweetPbfAli]

Lmfao. How is it that pointing out the truth- ODH hadn’t fought at 147 in 8 years and Cotto was at a CW of 145- equates to not getting past Manny winning?

The only plausible reason is you can’t get past Floyd beating Manny so you’re trying to point the finger at us.

You Manny knob gobbling stans get offended anytime someone posts facts about Manny that doesn’t suck him off or shows worship.

That is the only thing that is weird.

We get it- you have a felatious & masturbatory worship of Manny. Cool do you. Just stop getting mad at those of us that don’t.

If Manny is as great as you post, the truth will not diminish his career.

Roach is literally on video saying that he saw the IV marks on DLH arms during the ring walk so he knew the weight cut impacted him and he had trouble rehydrating.

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

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

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.

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

I don't care if he walked to the ring with the iv hanging out his arm.

He called all the shots in that shellacking he took so no exuses

[IceTrayDaGang]

Haney would stop Pacquaio, badly. Again, not understanding how you aren't grasping that Pacquaio is as shot as a fighter can be at this point?

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.

[ELPacman]

You guys are all living in a fantasy world if you think old school Pac is magically back at an advanced age. If he has any chance to beat Barrios, it's a out scoring him and at his age vs a 30 yr old? That's a hard ask. Just on the notion of Barrios throwing more punches because he's younger should score him the decision.

Did anyone see Pac in training? The dude got smacked in the face by a 65 year old Roach because his timing is so bad and he couldn't move out of the way in time. This was a telling sign that went largely dismissed by anyone that saw the training video and maybe laughed it off as fun times. It was not fun times, it was telling times and probably a major red flag of what's to come with Pac is in the ring with a young and at this point, motivated 30 yr old that has been written off as trash for the easy pickings of an advanced, aged Pacquiao. He's going to come to win and not simply lay down.

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.
