    Agreed...give it 4-5yrs and see how they talk about each fighter

        pacquiao will truly be missed. he has given us all a lot of great fights.

        there will never be another manny in a long time. but guys like ggg, lomachenko, roman gonzalez will help keep boxing exciting when manny is gone.

            they will show their kids episodes of 24-7 and All Access to describe his greatness


            then they will show the fights to help the kids go to sleep

              anyone know which of pac's fights received FOTY considerations or honorable mentions?

              pac-jmm 4 won foty, i think pac-jmm 1 and 2 were foty candidates.

              pac-morales 1-3 were foty candidates.

              pac-barrera 1, pac-cotto?

                The May/Pac era is over, Floyd knew when to hang em up, I hope Manny does too.

                If he keeps fighting he'll get knocked out again within his next three fights.

                Manny is shot, happens to the very best of them.
                Garcia would certainly NOT beat him. Brook is a very tough fight for him and I'm surprised Koncz and Arum have suggested he was someone they are looking at. Bad style matchup, and isn't exactly a guarantee in the ratings department either. I'd respect team Pac if they took a ballsy shot like that.

                That spot is reserved for Marquez coming back from eating left after left to put Pac to sleep. My butt has never fully healed from that. In comparison, May/Pac was a relatively minor disappointment.

                  As they are similar in age and career length, this serves as a reminder that Manny Pacquiao's career too will soon come to an end.

                  Time for us to appreciate and honor Pacquiao's greatness as HIS era soon comes to a close.

                  HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA Yessssssss lad. That's the true right there Floyd is a fraud. Disgraceful boring steroid rat con-artist that has ruined boxing and turned everyone into god damn *******.

                  Pac is the king.

                      And also you have to factor in which fights were made to be competitive and ended up being utter and complete destructive performances.

                      Pac vs Ledwaba, Pac vs Dela Hoya, Pac vs Cotto, Pac vs Margarito, Pac vs Sasakul, Pac vs Morales 2 and 3, Pac vs Barrera, Pac vs Mosely etc etc etc

                      People don't remember boxers that run around and hug and box eg. Willie Pep and Pernell Whitaker. These boxers never achieve true greatness.
