    he underestimated him for sure but those scorecards were shady as hell! those scorecards made it impossible for manny to win without a KO! Even spence went to england and he was leading brook in a close fight on all 3 cards! the difference is spences promoter wasnt trying to rob him! manny on the other hand has a promoter who is looking for a new star thats why he co promotes horn...

      Whats crazy is that GBP and TR tried to go after Haymon to try to expose him and exposed themselves instead. It's like a family that gets a new neighbor and they get an incorrect perception about their new neighbor and ride with that instead of trying to make a connection with new neighbor and would have realized he is actually approachable. But its almost too late because they spoke bad about him, but may still be able to work together as neighbors but in this case GBP and TR are too stubborn with huge egos to take that step yet to work with Haymon since they embarrassed themselves.

        So Pacquiao and AB are on the same level on the business side of the sport. That's sad, because with all the work Manny has put in, he should be on the level with Mayweather and De La Hoya! However, he chose to keep listening to Arum, and now it is what it is!

            Great, Manny should sign up with Haymon and fight the top WW contenders. Arum.s done with Pac and Bob just threw him under the bus and it doesn't matter if the judges gave it to Horn. Most fans that watched the fight knows it was a robbery and I personally thought Pac won 8 rounds, Horn won 1,10,11 and 12 clearly. It was a great fight but Arum just ruined it again but he's right, Pac's corner guys are a bunch of morons!

                  Its what made Pacquiao a legend remember? 8 divisions?

                  Face it. Slow start to his career losing in smaller divisions. Uses PEDS becomes a new unstoppable fighter for 3-4 years while moving up. Su****ions are raised then he ducks testing.
                  Eventually stopped using. Sharp decline in physical ability.

                  Typical PED career of any athelete that stops using.
                  You about to get slaughtered. They will say he never failed a drug test.........I'd say neither did Roger Clemons and Barry Bonds. My grandmother always said.......Son God gave you common sense.......Use it.

                    That dude was so annoying. When Manny misses punches he said they landed. Joe hit Manny with few uppercuts.....He said nada. He fought the fight he had to and people are mad at Horn. Wtf.

                      Sadly the other guy named TBE has a huge mismatch coming. Another couple of years of constant TBE/Pac debates.

                      Meanwhile, Thurman, Garcia and other fighters in their prime are being relegated to second hand attention.
                      Well that's there handlers fault or their own for not pushing for better fights and hiding behind promoters and for protecting that 0 and having 25 fights before taking on real comp. I'm sure you know the aforementioned put in real work to get to where they at. Oh yea horn will probably be the only one who would fight Spence to be honest with out waiting 2 years.
