We should do a tribute to Pac, the end of a legend

[Rapid Counter]

rios is a beast, pac is at the end of his career, this is david vs Goliath, its like a division 2 football team playing against a premiership, an old veteran making one last stand

a prime pac would win as he was the greatest of this era but this is like 1/10 of his best version, I just don't see it man, but SOMEHOW if he could win, just wow, we will be seeing it on espn decades later as it will be that great man
but i just cannot see pac winning, its just against nature and the balance of the universe, but if he does it then, simply we must stand up and clap

Seek immediate help please

Manny Pacquaio should be celebrated as ONE of the greatest fighters of his generation. He was won lineal titles at 112, 126, 130, and 140...I dont see that happening ever again considering the circumstances. Turning pro so young, his living conditions, and gradually growing into the weights. Skill-wise, and tactically he is/was adequate not great, but what made him great was his desire in the ring, his fighting heart, and his natural gifts of power, activity, speed, and mobility.

He is a bit of an enigma to me, even though he has a place as one of the greatest fighters ever, he never established himself as one of the greatest fighters in a particular weight class and defending his titles more than 5+ times.

He is a great ambassador for the sport, and should be remembered as one of the true gems of his generation. Some overrate him, some underrate him.

He isnt the second coming of Henry Armstrong, but he his the FIRST Manny Pacquaio. I knew I saw something special on the Horizon when he fought on the Tyson-Lewis undercard. He has shown me more than I ever expected.

The titles in 8 weight classes gets a bit overblown considering the circumstances of two or may be three of them. (David Diaz was the worst belt holder at 135 at the time, Margarito wasnt even ranked at junior-middleweight, and Cotto though he held the WBO belt was not the winner of his last fight some people's eyes and took that drubbing from Margarito. All in all it is impressive that a guy who started so low can compete at world class level against larger men, and I commend him for this.

Also what people have to consider when looking at his resume is when he beat his top opponents which affects significance of the wins at the higher weights.....Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, DLH, and Hatton were only a fight or two removed from stoppage loses, bad showings, or not looking good prior to stepping in the the ring with him. Manny is a great, great fighter just not a great welterweight.

It's really sad that Manny's fans have to be such a big group of blinded idiots because it makes me like him less.

I have far too much respect for manny, to shoot a dying man

its like this man, manny, the greatest of this era is near the end, now he is facing the future of boxing, rios is a monster, there is simply no way pacman could win, if manny does win, it will be a bigger upset than tyson/douglus

Just in

Pac has been forced to send back a sparring partner and refuse another after being beaten up in sparring

The end is near, this is a disaster to watch, the monster Rios is knocking out his sparring partners , its like a lion who led the pac, winning lion of the decade, coming to an end.

Just in-Manny says rios might not last as long as Hatton. SO please stop the fake distress just so you can pretend beating rios means something.
