Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao still mostly wants to make people happy

Manny is maybe the goat of all time. I'd still watch him jump rope or spar or hit the mitts. That is more exciting to me than any Mayweather phony sparring session choreographed to keep his phony O. Welcome back Manny, he deserves a few more last hurrahs for all the ones he gave while saving the sport from the lousy Mayweather fraud show.

Pacquiao is a living legend. Why are people critical of his fight selection? He's 46, boxing's only 8 division world champion, fought the who's who of his era, and has earned the right to select his fights. Shoot, Floyd was way more selective when he was 30 something and could have been fighting some stiffer opposition. Pacquiao consistently fought top 10 welterweights during the final stretch of his most recent run at 147. Even if this fight is for a world title, I think Pacquiao, one of boxing's greatest fighters of all time, is deserving of this. Just support him or don't watch. I'm not ecstatic of him lacing up the gloves again, but the fight is made and I just want him to leave the ring healthy.
