Checking in...
Hes in the sig with every post. Of course hes not what he once was but I still get excited for his fights and more importantly Im not the type to stop being a fan just because a fighter isnt what he once was. Sure Manny has slowed down from his prime but he is STILL one of the best welterweights in the world and more importantly is a living legend. He will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it and more importantly for me will always be one of my favorite fighters. Who has had as many exciting and rewatchable fights since Manny in his prime?
War Pacman!!!

Its just not fun to root for young dudes to demolish an old legend.
Same way I rooted for Floyd. And wanted him to retire.
I was witnessed of the fanboyism of their era. And i believed that was as well the peak of my career here at nsb.
So I doubt any boxer in the future would ever be closer to my heart than Manny and Floyd =)
Ill always be proud that I can be a fan of both of them and criticize them both as well if rightfully so.

Yes I'm as big and as die hard of a Pacquiao fan that you'd ever meet
You could put dude in the ring with literally anybody and I'd root for him
You could put him in the ring with Jesus Christ or Brian Sutherland or a damn starving Ethiopian child and I'd still root for him to win

Do people make threads about Roy Jones jr when he fights?
I can't speak for anyone else but I was a huge RJJ fan and a big Manny fan and at a certain point you just wished the guys would retire. You still watch their fights but with sort of a sadness that they are tarnishing their great names in the sport. Of course Manny is nowhere close to what Roy became but he's on his way if he really doesn't have any money left.
At a certain point I'll stop watching Manny fight after he is getting embarrassed by no name guys which may not be far off. I'll be watching tonight and rooting for him as usual but I'm one of the level headed fans that knows he just can't compete with the top guys at 147 like Spence and Crawford at this point. His best years are well behind him.
