Why are y'all acting as if Pacquiao-Matthysse is a good fight?

[Xi_]

Hahaha

Oh i see he must have destroyed one Of your guys, who was it Peterson, provo, taylor?

Fuuuck out of here hater.

A b-level fighter and two espn level fighters. Lmao....matthysse is an overrated hypejob.

It he was finished as a top fighter as of 2012 how did he stay in the top end of the P4P list and beat other P4P fighters and Top 10 fighters for the following 3 years?

Because of his name. The only pound for pound fighter he beat was Bradley and he had his number. He won the first fight 10-2 and lost more rounds in the fights he actually got the decision against. Rios, Vargas, Algieri aren't that special.

They aren't special but Algeri was a reigning world champion a weight class below, Vargas was a top 10 WW and I think a reigning world champion, Tim Bradley was a P4P fighter and Top WW and he beat him twice the third time dropping him multiple times.

Sounds like someone competing and winning at the top level to me. To say he was "done at the top level" is literally factually incorrect.

At this point in pac's career, him vs anyone is not a great fight.

Exactly.

The man has been a pro fighter for 23 years non stop (no fake retirements) and was left for dead in the ring in 2012.

The people that are expecting him to fight the best in sport are selfish, that or they just want to see him get KTFO again.

The only 8 division champ this sport has ever seen doesn't owe anyone a damn thing.

Better than that dumb circus fight.
TBE vs Gregor with zero boxing record.

Now why did you have to bring up Mayweather?

[RL_GMA]

If it's on ESPN I'll watch.

Other than that though...

[Split Decision]

Matthysse Pacquaio is the fight I need.

why you sideways bro?

Algieri got a gift against Provodnikov and Bradley was dropped in the 3rd fight not the second where he did better than the other fights. The third was a nothing fight and Bradley was out the mythical pound for pound lists by then.

There was a definite drop in Pacquaio's level from 2011-2012 when he got schooled by Marquez then KO'd brutally to 2013-2014. Hopkins was a better fighter in 1998 than he was in 2008 but he higher on mythical pound for pound lists in 2008. Pacquaio was higher in 2015 than he was in 2003-2005 but clearly wasn't as good a fighter.

Algeri did not get a gift at all.

Bradley was in the P4P list for the third fight and I said it was the third fight he got dropped in.

Drop in level maybe but he clearly was not "finished at the top level" because he was beating top level fighters for years after so it's pure nonsense to suggest.

matthysse recently was ko'd and came back with a couple meh wins. sounds like he's ready for floyd oh i mean pac.
