    Why shouldnt i use Manny as a gauge.
    Manny is going to be an ATG plus a champion in multiple divisions.
    He has a better resume than 90% of the fighters fighting today plus he will be HOF.
    why cant i gauge Horns win over pacman? Seems ******ed if i couldnt.

      When Pacquiao Matthysse meet, Matthysse will be 3 weeks to 36 to Manny being 39. Should be a good fight as long as fathers time calls. Clearly Pacquiao has fought the better fighters.
      Whats the age got to do with anything.
      If he feels he can still throw em with the rest then age just a convenient excuse.

        Great scrap. They should invite Keith Thurman, since this is the battle of boxers past their prime

          I think Manny will use this as his curtain call. I reckon the fight is probably 60-40 in his favour, at this stage Pacquiao probably has superior skills to Lucas but Lucas' power still makes him dangerous. Good matchup, both are shot but they're both more or less evenly shot so it should be a competitive fight.

            Bob has said the deal isn't over yet. And Bob has a great history of proving that by keeping guys out of the ring for max periods of time.

              Well i hope for this one time Bob is wrong and we get to see Manny/Mathysse.
              I for one believe this is a good match up and am expecting an exciting fight if it can happen.
              Do you think the fight will get the go ahead or too soon to tell?

                Do you think Horn actually won? Sounds like you do?

                  I think it could of gone to either man or a draw but Horn got the nod so yes i do think he won

                    I wouldn't bet against Bob with contracts.

                    And yea it is an interesting matchup can't argue with that.

                    Do you think the fight will get the go ahead or too soon to tell?
                    I feel like it's more likely to not happen then to happen but will see soon.

                      Interesting...

                      I'll wait until Bob speaks on the situation.
