Let's go, Manny! If anybody can defy the odds, it's Manny. He's special. Some people want to bash him but undermine the significance of this moment. We're looking at an all time great. For some, the GOAT. Making a comeback at 46 to challenge for a world title against a 30 year old fighter in his prime. It doesn't matter if Barrios is the weaker of the champions. This is a 46 year old Manny coming back to face a world champion after a 4 year layoff. This is big!

I just don't see any way Manny wins. I think he has a decent start but then age catches up to him and he fades. If he can pull this off, that would be enormous.

Thurman still talking liike he's relevant and has a shot at being a champion again.

A 48 year old Floyd can easily beat Barrios. You can bash him all you want but answer this simple question - can Floyd beat Barrios? Yes or No?
It doesn't matter if Barrios is the weaker of the champions. It would be a 48 year old Floyd coming back to face a world champion after a 7 year layoff.

IMHO Floyd has better chance of beating Barrios than Manny ,but as my trainer once said "Many know how to do it ,few are able to do it but to go out and do it - that's what really matters. My point is that Pac most probably will fail with his attempt but if you don't try you can't win. I really root for him to pull it off and make history but won't put my money on it.

although I see this comeback coming a mile away, Manny has 3 fight losing streak, Ugas, the Presidency, the Senate ....

I still don't think this should have been made, I just wish Manny does not get hurt
