As Manny Pacquiao has returned to the routine of his demanding conditioning run, he?s been joined by a cross-section of the population.

Before the haters start commenting, i will just say this: Manny is a inspiration to so many people, he is loved and revered and he will go down as one of the best. SO, no matter what happens, no matter if you think his comeback is ridiculous or unworthy of the boxing world's attention, if he has a chance or not to beat Barrios, it doesn't matter. The Pacman can do what he wants, when he wants it, for himself mostly, but also for his millions of fans. He's earned that right. -
virgil ortiz said manny was very fast... he was getting smoked by pacman while running up that hill and said he was surprise.Comment

Pacquiao will do well. His body is rested from not training over the years. His attributes are natural. He may not be a world beater anymore but he has enough to stop some fighters. Barrios may be one of those fighters. We will see.Comment

He's earned that right but what he hasn't earned is his ranking and being put to the head of the line against many contenders who worked their asses off their entire careers to get ranked, only to be pushed behind a guy who has not fought in ages. He does not deserve a title fight and clearly did not earn it.Last edited by richardt; 07-09-2025, 05:01 PM.Comment

I wouldn't mind to be honest and if that's what Pacquiao is aiming at, good for him. Both men are well past their best days so it's not like anyone of them would carry a huge advantage over the other. The two best fighters of their era going at it would be fun to watch. It'll do enough business to make both guys happy and fans would get a nostalgic trip. And it won't be two over the hill guys either. Floyd stays active and has lived a healthy lifestyle and Pacquiao has two. Both have been active and fighting exhibitions over the years so I really don't see any harm in the fight happening. It would probably be more fun than the first one. I said what I said.Originally posted by Gaseous ClayComment

True. And his ego would probably lure him back. I'm not sure how content he is, but Floyd is always for more and to remind people he's TBE. Will Pacquiao coming back to win a world title at 46 irk him enough to want to face him? I know some will be pissed that the prospect of a fight could involve a world title. But, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the type of carrot that Pac-Man dangles over Floyd. Just don't charge me $100 for the PPV!Originally posted by Gaseous ClayComment

I supported him for many years but this is taking more than just an advantage of the sport, its a reflection or how the boxing organization has cheated out other contenders who earned their place in line. Never thought I would say this but I hope he gets knocked out. I would not think this way if he had fought another contender for the opportunity to fight for a title but we all know he would have been beaten by a legitimate contender and he and the boxing organization cheated the system to get him the shot. They ranked him for doing not a single damn thing in years to earn the shot!Last edited by richardt; 07-10-2025, 12:47 AM.Comment

Sure he’s “earned” the right to fight for a welterweight belt against the weakest WW in history.
Next month when former 4 division champion, the ATG Roy Jones Jr decides to unretire, he will have earned the right to fight BIVOL.
If Calzaghe decides to unretire, he will automatically EARN the right to fight Canelo.
If Cotto decides to unretire, he will automatically EARN the right to fight Norman Jr.
When Andre Ward unretires, he automatically earns the right to fight Canelo.
When Mosley unretires, he gets to earn the right to fight Norman Jr.
Let’s also give Lomachenko 5 years of retirement before he unretires and earns to fight for a belt against any of the title holders at 135.
