but he's a joke right! lol.

Paq at 40 and losing to Horn made Paq a small joke. Dropping Roach and taking on the fat slob nothing BUBoy made Paq a huge joke. Paq is just old and average now looking for easy wins that is why bad eye quitter matty was picked for Paq. Paq wants cash not hard fights. Joke is right for Paq.

You know I'm just gonna lay it to you straight. At this point Pacquiao's career Lucas Matthysse is a dangerous opponent. Anytime a fighter is motivated to win and that motivations stems from more than money it's a dangerous opponent. Matthysse is looking at this as the biggest fight of his career. He's been wanting Pacquiao for five years. You can say Matthysse is washed up, you can say Pacquiao is washed up, but the fact of the matter is that on July 14th we're going to get a barnburner between two aging veterans. One of them is a living legend who captured world titles in eight weight divisions. The other is a viciously determined heavy puncher that has closed out 36 of his 39 fights within the distance. This isn't going to be a cakewalk.

How bad does it hurt you that Manny Pacquiao "the joke" will go the grave with more legacy in his toe nail lint that you and the next 6 generations of your family will amass combined? Is it painful?

No, it's not. If Pacquaio comes with a Horn level performance he'll get f**ked up. Manny didn't look good against Vargas either. The last 24 rounds of his boxing career have been pedestrian and uninspired at best.

Agreed. Pacquiao is well past his prime but Saturday could be the night he gives one last great fight and reminds folks who he was in his heyday.

I expect an OK fight, nothing more. It might very well be disappointing. Both combatants are total has-beens.

yes, lucas will be the hardest puncher he's face up to date, but the way yall acting like pac's chin is glass. if that's the case he would have been ko'd long time ago after the marquez ko.

like i said, he's been hit flush from the guys i mention earlier and even though they're not power puncher, if pac's chin was that far gone, he would have went down. he never got dropped in any of those fights.

he's not what he use to be but like i said i think his chin is not that far gone like how some of yall is making it out to be.

I didn’t mention it’s glass. But it definitely couldn’t handle a solid clean power shot from Matthysse either.

And I’m rooting for Pac on this one, but I’ll still be scared as hell for him on fight night. Not that I’m hyping Matthysse up to be still a beast at this point but a KO Victory over Pac is just too possible at this point compared to any instances in his career.

Not to mention the fact that Matthysse might also be the more motivated guy on this one. Just like Horny was.

[BLASTER1]

As a die hard Pacquiao fan I admit that I'm scared for him in this one. I can see him looking good early and winning more rounds but getting caught at some point and getting KTFO.

Hope I'm wrong.

Thats what i see happening.
I hope Pacman exceeds my expectations and gets his first K/O in a very long time though.
I think Matthyse is going to be a live dog in their and will give it his all.
Its easy to picture a brutal knock out of Manny.
Gonna be a fun fight.

Manny is the maybe the 8th best welterweight at that. Without Roach drops manny out of the top 10. That fat slob Buboy the mooch knows zero about training a top boxer. Buboy knows food not boxing.
