Originally posted by boliodogs View PostI would like to see him fight Horn anywhere but in Australia. I thought he easily won that fight in spite of Horn's extreme dirty tactics.
It had nothing to do with being in Australia. The judges (and the review judges) and the ref were not Australian.
People who spot conspiracies where they don't exist (such as thinking a fight was biased towards an Australian because it was in Australia, despite the 9 officials involved not being Australian) also see robberies where they don't exist.
Manny lost, he lost clearly. He did so because he is faded, and not as good as he used to be, and because he didn't take the fight at all seriously. Horn wouldn't have lasted 3 rounds against prime Pac. He wouldn't have beaten a focused, older Pac. He beat a older, underprepared and slack Pac.
Manny didn't lose because the fight was in Australia.
You could even possibly say that the ref let Horn get away with too much. Again, not an Australian ref - so the idea that Manny lost because the fight was in Australia is simply nonsense.
This stuff has been explained over, and over again. But conspiracy theorists only see what they want to see.

Originally posted by boliodogs View PostI think so too. Many is well past prime but he has enough left to beat Khan.
The only hesitation is khan himself hasnt fought in 2 years so maybe he has declined a lot.

What was that fight where the guy kept hitting the other guy low, the ref lost control and the guy that kept getting hit low just threw two hard shots low in return?
I get sick of excuses. If a fighter's fouling you and the ref isn't doing anything, YOU do something.

Im a huge fan but he needs to retire asap. There is no passion and dedication in boxing on him anymore, only money. First, he lost his dedication to boxing, running as politician, religion etc, making boxing as sidejob but at least he still has his passion. Now after his negligence in the Horn fight, i think he lost that passion too. He was just there for the money.
