Predict the Number of Rounds manny Is Good For

Lol why because you said so? Who the fuck are you but some random imbecile on an internet forum who significantly underrates a top 10 ATG whilst VASTLY overrating mediocre fighter's like Ramos & Barrios?!

I watched Pacquiao look pathetic against Ugas four years ago
I watched Pacquiao look pathetic against a Youtuber in an exhibition
I watched Pacquiao straight up get his ass whooped by a kickboxer in an exhibition

It has been six years since Manny won a fight and four years since his last pro bout, and the guy he last lost to was obliterated by Barrios.

There is a reason there are no other 46 year old welterweight contenders. Nobody should have to explain this to you.

I don't think pacman will win a round unfortunately and the corner will pull him out at some point.

Are you dumb? George Foreman retired for 10 YEARS and went on to win a world title aged 45! Like Foreman, Pacquiao is also an all time great so is capable of pulling off the impossible (just like other former retired boxers who made successful comebacks). Therefore, it's not completely outside the realms of possibility as you'd like to proclaim.

As for the Ugas fight, Barrios fought a vastly inferior version who'd already been SOFTENED up by Pacquiao and hospitalised by Spence. Therefore, it's not a like-for-like comparison at all!

Re the fight itself, like I said many times before, Barrios SHOULD definitely win because the youth and activity is on his side. However, he's an average fighter at best who's lost every single time he's truly stepped up (e.g. Thurman & Davies) plus he took a beating in his last fight so is definitely vulnerable (especially in the early rounds when Pacquiao will be at his most dangerous).

Don't forget Pacquiao has already made a habit of handing several talented young fighter's losses in his late 30s/40s like Bradley, Broner & Thurman.

I think he's going to come out strong to prove a point or show he's still the Manny of old. He'll probably get some nice shots in, but they won't do enough to hurt Barrios badly or put him away. Barrios will continue walking through whatever he has to until Manny realizes he can't put him away and the old man legs show up around rd. 3 or 4. From there on I don't know what he reverts to. Just stands and tries to **** with the fresher, younger dude? Cause his legs won't allow him to run away or retreat as easily as he had in the past.

There is really not too many outcomes for Manny to win this barring a 1-3 rd KO. If it goes beyond 3, it will not look good for Manny. If Manny is not looking good in rd1-3, it will never look better. That's when they might want to think about pulling him out a couple rds after the 3rd when they realize he has nothing else to offer.

He's done. I do not think this one will be competitive beyond round 2.

I’m going with 3

I give him 4

Do you even watch boxing?
1. George Foreman retired originally at 28 in good health, not at 41 and completely washed.

2. George Foreman had a full 25 fights in his comeback before he challenged for a world title, and he lost that challenge against Holyfield. Then he had three more wins, then he lost another challenge against Tommy Morrison. THEN he challenged and beat Moorer. He did not just waltz out of an extended retirement directly into a world title fight.

3. Heavyweight is not welterweight.

The magic number is 3

It doesn't matter...Foreman still spent 10 YEARS outside of the ring but was able to pull off a string of impressive victories including winning a world title. Also, he'd already had 47 pro fights prior to retiring at aged 28 so would've sustained a large amount of damage (especially as a Heavyweight). Anyhow, like I told you before, Pacquiao is not just any ordinary fighter - he's a top 5-10 p4p ATG period. Therefore, I wouldn't put it past him to pull off the upset especially against an average fighter on the slide like Barrios.

You are a clown, it's really that simple. Why isn't Pacquiao taking several fights to get back into form?

Because he's totally washed and he'd lose to anybody in the top 50, easily. This whole thing is a farce. Just a transparent, desperate grab for one final payday.

Lol dumbass...his exhibitions over the years were his warm up fights as he considers Barrios a WEAK champion hence why he's challenging him instead of the likes of Boots/Norman.

He's obviously identified some ch1nks in his armour which he believes he can exploit such as having a suspect chin, slow hands, plodding feet and lacking KO power. I'll trust Pacquiao's judgement anyday over some complete and utter NOBODY on the internet who's achieved nothing in life.

PS: Pacquiao's net worth is rumoured to be $220m so he's definitely NOT doing it for the money twerp!
