Did Ali Robinson Leonard etc taint theirs?Comment

I agree, think a catch-weight fight with Loma @ 135 would be the best way for Manny to say goodbye! It should be easy to make, and Loma wouldn't mind fighting in the Philippines for the right price! Bob Arum, Make it Happen! No one wants to see Crawford bully Manny, now that we saw what Horn did! Pac vs. Loma @ 135, LET"S GO!Comment

They can't praise Pac for what he's done, without trying to diminish what Floyd did! It's pathetic! Pacquiao is GREAT, but Floyd is ALL-TIME GREAT!He fought Oscar at the full 154 limit having just moved up to 147 himself.
Pac fought a drained and older Oscar at 147.
Floyd fought Canelo, Roach and even you Pacboys here on nsb cried and said Canelo is too big when the fight was proposed.
Pac fought a drained Cotto at 145lbs, Floyd fought him at 154lbs.
And finally! Stop lying about weight. Manny pacquiao weighed 152lbs on fight night against Floyd, NSAC and USADA had Floyd weighing in at 149lbs (They weighed him for the dehydration issue TUE)
Also Floyd weighed 150lbs against Canelo (2013) on fight night, 148lbs against Maidana (2014) on fight night, and 150lbs against Victor Ortiz (2011). Even going far back to the beginning of his welterweight campaign he weighed 146lbs (fight night) against Judah, and 149lbs against Baldomir. All the evidence is in the links below.

Guess what? Pac has rehydrated to 150lbs in most of his welterweight fights. In fact, even at 140 he has a fight or two where he rehydrated to 150lbs.
This myth that Floyd is so much bigger than Pac has run it's course. Time to wake up to reality.
Your right about the height and reach though, floyd is 1.5/2 inches taller and has 3/4 inch reach advantage.Comment

I don't think so... i Duran or Evander any less of a legend for sticking around too long? Not in my opinionComment

I don't think many would begrudge Pacquaio one more fight, a farewell one. He would have beaten Thurman, Spence and Crawford in his prime, probably, but now he should stay away from those guys. Hopefully he'll hang up the gloves in the not too distant future, or he'll end up in embrassing losses, like LeonarComment

Hopefully he'll hang up the gloves in the not too distant future, or he'll end up in embrassing losses, like Leonard getting tko'd by Camacho, and Roy Jones getting ko'd by Macarinelli. We don't want to see that with Manny. Getting ko'd with one punch by an excellent to somewhat great fighter like Marquez is one thing. To get ko'd by some average welterweight would be quite a stain on the end of his career, should he continue too much longer.Comment

One thing is for certain is that Pac's days at fighting at the elite level are over. I would hate to see him take a merciless beating against one of the top welters in the division, who are much younger, bigger, stronger and quicker to the point of him not being even competitive; For simply just a nice pay out.Comment
