    manny isn't known for strong opinions but the way he been talking about retirement has been so n so.
    one day im done with this, the next day, my heart is still 50/50.

    pac is fighting again.

    he's just waiting until everything settle down. he just made a promise to his family that this is his last fight. he's just waiting until they start to not care about it then thats when he'll announce his return.

      manny look good in last fight. I'd confidently pick him to beat the current welters except for Brook and Thurman.

      He shoudl be fairly safe given top rank's extremely limited welterweight roster

        Even with a rehydration clause, Pac vs Canelo is a ****** fight. Canelo won't go below 155 lbs and that means Pacquaio would have to fight at a significantly higher weight and he is not a big welterweight to begin with.

        Canelo would abuse Pacquiao. The Crawford fight makes far more sense and is more evenly matched.

          exactly. Compare his current behavior to how Floyd acted prior to retirement.

          Fighting Berto was like doing the bare minimum at work because you don't love your job.

          manny fought someone who mattered. That's the action of a guy who still wants to fight

              I don't want the Canelo-Pacquiao fight at all. If Pac does decide to continue fighting, Crawford is the only guy I want to see him fight

                I do not see why everrybody is saying that Canelo is too big for Pacquiao. If we talk about weight it is true but is not in class, speed and power.

                Canelo fought Miguel Cotto and was not able to reach him and in the occasional times he hit Cotto with power was not able to damage Cotto. Cotto was never hurt in that fight. Nonetheless, Pacquiao hurt Cotto twice and had the referee to stop the fight. Canele is an over priced fighter.

                In my opinion he did not win against Cotto. Cotto took him to boxing school.

                  canelo is not at a stage where he's willing to go down in weight not unless something big happens like khan beating him or something. he's at a point now where he feels he's the a-side.
                  Pac is still the A-side. Don't matter what Canela means, the numbers speak for themselves. Pac vs Floyd sold way more than Canelo vs Floyd, and so did Pac vs Cotto I believe sold more than Canelo v Cotto.

                  Canelo is nowhere near as big as he thinks he is, or as big as his fangirls believe.

                      I like Passing of the Catchweight Torch.

                      It sound poetic
