    WAR PACQUIAO FOREVER!!! Huge respect, this man did so much for the growth of the sport in the right direction. He fought like a warrior, never backed down and still was elite being as offensive as he was. A true monster. Will always be loved as one of the greatest.

      I watched an interview with Roach in the buildup to the Mayweather fight where he said he hoped Manny managed this paycheck better, because he'd given quite a large amount of his money away to his countrymen prior. Said the guy couldn't say no to helping. That's beautiful, but looking out for #1 is a must, too. And don't get me started on Arum. You are right on par there. Guy is the devil.

      That Oscar fight wasn't even fair (fun to watch, though!). He was ****** to accept that catchweight and drain himself down like that. Manny beat that guy like a drum. Freddie said after the fight, "We saw how drained he was at the weigh-in and I said, there's no way that guy is going to be able to get a meal in before the fight". And yeah that Bradley fight was just ridiculous. That was another C.J. Ross fight! Chick was on the take harder than Byrd.

      Yeah he seems very generous maybe to a fault almost. I've heard he has given a ton of money to various other people. Alongside arum getting his grubby mitts on pacs paychecks. I hope pac retires with enough wealth to live good.

      I like you had partially forgot a lot of his great fights like the morales fights and earlier career run. I was a teenager when I watched pac school Oscar live and was instantly a follower up until the Bradley fight 1 (the robbery) I think pac lost some lustre after that and the mayweather fight.

          I think with pac he came from poverty so has a deep appreciation for the majority of his countrymen in similar circumstances to what he had before being rich. And he doesn't seem as materialistic as mayweather he seems more humble happy with less. Enjoys gratitude from helping people like you said he has to look after himself though as well.

          Arums a piece of work ***ing coffin dodger. I did feel bad for Oscar at the time the way he sat on his stall between rounds said it all. He was done for. I appreciate his fighting spirit though took some massive punishment didn't go down.

          Ah cj Ross the infamous supporter of canelo in his fight against mayweather.

            Absolutely. Manny seems like a good dude.

            And "coffin dodger"--I laughed pretty hard at that one. Never heard that before. May have to start using that lol. But yeah, GB always gets the best judges. Purely coincidental according to the fans, though "peeleft:

              Manny was an all time great but he should have retired a bit ago.

                That's actually a very accurate analysis, he's 40 years old and fighting at the lower weight classes, not a good combination. His prime years are a good 7 years ago, and he lost to Jeff Horn which says it all. I hope he doesn't get hurt against Matthysse but Lucas is coming with that kill or be killed mentality.

                  LOL people acting like he is some stiff now, He looked bad against Horn because the ref LET HORN hang all ove him and wear him down, yet he still had Horn seconds away from being stopped.

                  Lucas is not Horn, I can't wait to see the comments post fight calling Lucas a bum because Manny beat him handily.

                    Haha I heard the term at my old workplace one of my colleagues called the old bloke colin it, he ran the company. He was in his 80s like Bob and admitted he liked keeping busy was afraid of dropping dead if he stopped so the nickname was well deserved lol. And hahaha definitely coincidence as per with these "honest and transparent" big promotional companies like gb

                      What the hell are you basing the connect rate, I hope its not on Compu box??? Lucas is gonna pressure manny to death like horn did. Only difference is this is a lot older Manny with 10 million things on his mind, boxing not being his priority, and Lucas can ****.
