Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao's conditioning runs backed by a world of support

[richardt]

It's a good point, and i don't disagree. but.. in a world where Fake Paul is about to get a title shot after beating a mexican illegal, i guess Manny can bypass the process.

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!

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.

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.

Bivoll won't fight Roy cause he's just too nice to hurt him.
Calzaghe still has coke problems but still has enough money to not have to fight again.
Cotto is really retired and will never come back. (Although i would definitely watch that fight!)
Canelo will NEVER EVER fight Ward, even if SOG was 78 yrs old and limping.
Mosley doesn't know what day it is and with his slurred speech, you can't even understand when he asks.
But yes, Loma should fight when he comes back in 5 years.

I don't disagree, but it's Manny! I wish him all the best even though i think he will lose, which says a lot considering he's fighting Barrios.

Well, ok then
