Barrios Will Finish What Marquez Started and Do It Even Worse

[Century Tuna]

Let’s face it. Manny Pacquiao just doesn’t know when to quit. He’s out here chasing relevance while clinging to old glory, like an aging rockstar who still thinks the crowd came for the music not the nostalgia.

Pacquiao stepping into the ring again isn’t inspiring. It’s sad. He’s not fighting for legacy anymore; he’s fighting his ego, and Mario Barrios is about to humble him in the most violent way possible.

We’ve seen this before, an overconfident Pacquiao stepping into the spotlight thinking he’s still the same fighter who terrorized the welterweight division. But the truth is, that Pacquiao is long gone. The speed? Faded. The power? Diminished. The defense? Still questionable.

Barrios is gonna knock out Pacquiao so bad, even Marquez will feel embarrassed his KO wasn’t that brutal.

And that’s saying something. Marquez’s punch echoed around the world. But what Barrios will deliver isn’t just a punch, it’s a statement. A reminder that the sport doesn’t wait for anyone, even an icon past his expiration date.

Pacquiao should’ve bowed out with dignity when he had the chance. But now, instead of walking away, he’s stumbling back into the ring like a man too proud to admit his time is over.

Barrios will remind him painfully and publicly that boxing isn’t a retirement plan, and comebacks aren’t always glorious.

Sometimes, they’re just embarrassing.

While Pac has seen better days and is far removed from his prime, I don't think Mario can rise to the occasion.
TeamPac picked Mario for a reason.
Unless Pac is really shot, I can't see him losing.

As with most of his career, Pac's path to success has to be carefully guided.
Should he win, I'm not sure what his next move can be

Pacquiao’s fans say he’s guided by the Holy Spirit, more like guided by delusion. He’s a washed-up fraud, and the only way he’s beating Barrios is if he dumps a truckload of cash on him to throw the fight.

Yes
Basic AF Ugas sent Pac into retirement.
Mario will probably fight differently.

Pac would truly have to be washed up for Mario to beat him.
TeamPac pick his opps very carefully.
Softest resume of all so called ATGs.
Mario then a fight with Bud at 144

Corner or ref stoppage more likely I think but yeah Mario wins easily enough.

[Mammoth]

What Marquez started 21 years ago? Yeah, he should I suppose.

And on que, here comes the village idiot with his weird negative obsession with Manny Pacquiao. When Brandon Figueroa fought Luis Nery, this dummy claimed both would beat Pacquiao.

The Aztec Prince will win.

You’ve been holding onto that comment like it’s your diary entry. Must be tough waking up every day thinking about what I said during Figueroa vs. Nery. If anyone’s obsessed here, it’s the guy name-dropping Pacquiao in every reply like he’s your imaginary friend. Let it go man, your hero doesn’t need you white-knighting for him online.
