Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao reflects on Hall of Fame past while looking to make new history

That makes no sense at all for all the reasons I explained you must don't read for comprehension.


When was Floyd a one punch ko artist


Floyd wasn't even breaking down and stopping lw fighters who moved up to ww

Williams was a natural ww that Floyd fake retired to duck. Same for Margarito

——-
When was William great?

Why didn’t PAC fight Williams? Yet another duck from PAC.

It’s just incredible how you ignore the fact that Pacqiao ducked Williams for years.

We wasn't talking about Manny we was talking about Floyd ducking the welterweight division and you want to flip it to Manny

[IronDanHamza]

Pac’s upcoming bout with Barrios is not a money grab. Manny sincerely believes that even at age 46; He can still compete with these younger guys.

None of the guys since he has turned 40 has ever been able to either hurt or dominate him. Moreover, non of them has even been able to knock him down.

If Pacquiao could still see the punches coming. Then he can win this fight. It is not impossible or unlikely. However, he would need to pace himself by not tiring himself out.

He's only had 3 fights since turning 40 and against ranked fighters he's 1-1 and Ugas beat him up and won comfortably.

The difference between a 40 year old Pacquaio and a 42 year old Pacquaio is night and day. I can't imagine what a 46 year old Pacquaio is going to look like in comparison.

To is it's not unlikely for him to win this fight is mental. It is EXTREMELY unlikely that he wins this fight.

Yet here we are on a thread specifically about Manny reflecting on his career BUT you and your other Manny idolizes never fail to drag Floyd into the conversation.

So, fact is, Manny ducked both Williams and Floyd for years.

Yeah how about that you injected Floyd then when you got fact checked you do what all you Floyd Boys do flip flop

At ww Manny was forever giving up height/reach to damn near everybody had damn near 70 fights wtf are you going on about Paul Williams wasn't nothing special right so why you bithhing about Manny ducking him

How many times did your crush Floyd give up height/reach on a fighter at ww, and not some shopworn fighter either

[IceTrayDaGang]

I agree. He has slowed down. For example, in his last fight with Ugas; He kept getting hit repeatedly by the same punch over and over again without any head movement.

The reason why was because he didn’t see those punches coming. Now just imagine if Yordenis had any type of real punching power?

I am not picking Pacquiao to win. All I am saying is that if he can keep this fight a chess match rather than a firefight. Then he has a much better chance of winning it.

agreed... he needs to fight smart and pick his shots...

We can have a normal healthy discourse about boxing and our fav fighters but it’s pretty obvious we are never going to agree on anything and we’ll be doing the typical whataboutism so let’s do that …..

Manny chose to go to WW. Nobody forced him.
If Williams wasn’t nothing special, why link him to Floyd? Why didn’t Manny fight him since he fought “everyone”?
Floyd walked around 150 Ibs so he gave up height/reach to every single guy he fought at WW except for Marquez.

manny is giving up even more since manny is overall smaller than floyd in height, reach, etc.
