Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: One Step Closer to the Last Hurrah

[bojangles1987]

It's a real shame that too many people will always remember the nonfight with Mayweather more than anything else with Manny Pacquiao. The man is a real legend.

I like Bradley, and will be happy if he wins, but it would be damn nice to see Pac put on that one last legendary performance this weekend.

sadly, the Bradley fight was Pac's last hurrah
he fought great vs piss drinker, but it wasn't good enough to win
we've seen the last of any greatness from Pac
Bradley doesn't deserve it, but he'll get the win Saturday
been wishing Pac would quit since JMM 4, he's just being greedy

Being greedy? No, wouldn't you want to avenge your lost if you got knocked out like that knowing you are winning before his lights went out? I would. PAC vs Tim 2 is not necessarily need to happen, but officially that's his first lost after 7 years of dominating the world of boxing. So yes this fight need to happen and Marquez, after he avenge his losses then he can retire knowing the other P4P guy don't want none of him.

One of the better pieces written by BoxingScene cats, but all you do by highlighting Durans career is make Manny and Floyd seem less impressive, to be brutally, but accurately honest.

Personally, I think Manny is over the hill at this point, Not tremendously, but not prime, similar to the DLH that Floyd barely sc****d by.

Manny will be remembered as a great, sure. An inspiring individual, and an icon.


Floyd still beats any version of him though. Yes, it has to be said. It adds context to Mannys greatness.

You people kill me. How can you be so sure that Floyd beats any version of him when Floyd himself isn't sure enough to get in the ring with the man. Floyd is great, Manny is great but we absolutely don't know who will win if they ever fought in the prime 'cos the fight never happened. End of story. This is not like a Floyd vs. Maidana or Manny vs. David Diaz fight where the obvious winners are the two overwhelming favorites.

I disagree on your notion that PAC and Floid will fight in 2015, or any year before and after that. Floid is celebrating right now reading or hearing from critics that Manny is over the hill, shot, or coming to his last hurrah. The more reason/excuse for him not to face Manny. He doesn't care what the boxing fans want to see, all he cares about is to retire with that questionable "zero" intact. Floid is one of the great tacticians in sport of boxing, but no one will talk about his legacy once he hangs em up. Not like Ali, Foreman, and Tyson that still making money through commercial, endorsement after they long gone from the sport.

manny should have taken the fight on the various occasions it was presented to him deal with it.

Its a real shame that Floyd ducked him.

I have a ton of respect for manny. Created havoc in his prime was damn near unstoppable in this era. The other top guy was scared to fight him without question. Good guy in the ring and out. That said I can't stand roach, think he is vastly overrated and says ****** shi! And hides behind his illness. One last hurrah left for the once all time great manny p we shall see.

Floyd ducked Manny by making all those accusations about steroids cause Manny dropping people. If Floyd would've just fought Pacquaio without any hesitation or blood test requirement then this would probably be a totally different article. Everyone knew Floyd could beat him but except Floyd himself. No matter how you twist it and turn it Floyd ducked first.
