      Triva question, What the most has Manny Pacquiao ever defended any title belt he was won?

        I agree Pac looked shot vs. Clottey. Those wars are catching up to him.

        Meanwhile he threw over 1000 punches most power shots and was bouncing all over the ring and wasnt even breathing hard. Tie to hang em up Manny your're shot.

          Very valid reason, and i wish he does serve his people, it's just unfortunate that as a boxing fan, we might miss his prime years in the ring. he might take too much damage from the harder punchers at 147 but i think he could clean up 140.

            And thats fine not every fighter has to fight till their brain is so damaged they cant even take a ****t by themselves. Truth is fans shouldn't have any say in Pac's career path to begin with. It's his choice and he isn't obligated to any of the fans out there to continue fighting if he doesn't want to. Are you are obligated to work for your company forever just because the payed your salary? No so neither is pac!

              In a perfect world Pac would move back down to 140 where fighters can't just bust through his guard with arm punches and show us how good he really is when he's fighting someone his own size.

              But is the right opponent there? I dunno man. Tim Bradley vs Devon Alexander winner would be absolutely great, I don't know if the public would agree with me though.

                    Because he have nothing left to proof = he's already proven that he's the Fighter Of The Decade

                      there's a difference between seeing a fighter fight til he's broken and useless, and wanting to see a fighter in what, at least to me, is his prime, but clearly some people get way too emotional when it comes to Pac, and any valid question get you on the defensive.
