Manny did not lose the fight even though he trained like 5 hours total. What Manny needs is to fire that damn Roach that is only telling him to retire and messing his mitt work. Roach should do the sport of boxing a favor and retire, all the fighters that are with him are looking like **** lately.Comment

Manny deserves this rematch as a "going away" party in Manila! He should NOT retire after a ROBBERY! He's simply not big enough at 147 to get KOs like he used to, and let's face it, we know those "suspect shakes" were helping back in the day! Why do they keep putting him in fights @ 147, then complain of how big the opponents are? Do the catch-weight fight with Loma! He made a living off catch-weight fights earlier in his career, so what's the problem now? Manny should have options, Horn @ 147, Crawford @ 140, or Loma @ 135, or retirement! Choose wisely champ!Comment

The same Arum that just picked up a 3 fight co-promotion deal with Duco Events and now co-promotes Horn? This has happened twice now in recent memory, the moment Arum needs Pacquaio to sign an extension he makes him lose the belt. Same shh that happened in Bradley vs Pacquaio 1. Unless Pacquaio was going to fight in the fall his extension with Top Rank was done after this fight. Now he's forced to eat shh sign an extension just to be able to enact a rematch. Listen bro when sites that are anti-Pacquiao have manned up to call it a rubbish result it says a lot.Comment

Its pathetic to force this little ass dude to have to KO guys. Lame ass yahoo writer Kevin Iole has been dissing Pacquiao for the past 5 years for not being able to KO these bigger guys, he even downplays his performances just because he cant KO them
No other fighter in history has been pressured to have to KO someone to impress than Pacquiao, its strange as ***, the guy is naturally small he is undersized and was never a one punch KO guy, Pac shouldnt have to live up to those ultimate expectations is almost cruel in a sense because Pacman really tries to KO guys but just cant and he gassed out trying.
He should just box like he did with David Diaz and Oscar focus on pot shotting and moving around.
he proved how good he was against Mayweather/Bradley
Pac had a lot of bullshht/hype, no question..... mostly based on excellent matchmaking/timing, especially against older faded opponents or guys who were made-to-order..... there was also a lot of weight/contractual manipulation, and there were also probably..... "other" issues.....
and Manny has never been able to distance himself from Marquez..... despite having 40+ rounds opportunity
because of the "other" issues mentioned above, I base my assessment of Pac around the sternest tests he faced when undeniably clean..... the fading version of Morales that he fought in their first fight, and Marquez I..... both of which exposed limitations in his game..... Mayweather, and Bradley
in saying that..... that was a vintage performance from a great fighter in Morales, the type of experience that is priceless for a young star on his way up..... and in the lower weights you had to be world-class to live with Marquez for 12 rounds..... he smoked more people than Wyatt Earp, and yet Manny nearly blew him away
his three fights with Bradley proved that Pac is on a higher level, and he performed much better than I expected against Mayweather..... who did out-skill/out-hustle Pac, but did not truly outclass him
he is clearly a terrific fighter who had way too much for Bradley and enough to keep Mayweather honest, even at 147
at 140+ Pac has been punching above his weightComment

I was rewinding back to Pac-Morales 2. What a frikin war that was and to see the kind of relentless pressure he had was amazing to see.
Unfortunately everyone has to go through this with their favorite fighters. I feel bad for the prime Jones Jr. fans. That dude never gives them a breakComment
