[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao is facing what could be the final opponent of his long career, when he returns on Sunday [Saturday in the United States] against Lucas "The Machine" Matthysse for the World Boxing Association "regular" welterweight belt. Pacquiao, 39, is getting close to the end of his career and he's coming off a July 2017 decision loss to 2012 Australian Olympian Jeff Horn.

No doubt.
Manny had DLH cringing when he was about to throw a punch.
Pathetic show of courage from de la hoya.

Prime mosley, prime tito, prime Hopkins, prime mayweather, all would beat pac and in some cases stop him. Prime Oscar likely beats him too.

Typical promoter, like Hearn and the rest of the bums

No, no, yes cause hes about 2 divisions higher than him, maybe and no. No version of oscar would beat pac

[True That]

Kitchen Utensils is wearing his promoter hat.

That's not what you told Ring Magazine:


De La Hoya - August 2009

Best fighter: Julio Cesar Chavez He had it all. He could box, he could punch, he had an iron chin. And he had guts. He had the whole package. He wasn't 25 when he fought me but he was still an elite fighter.

Best boxer: Pernell Whitaker He was very elusive, very hard to hit. He was very slippery.

Best puncher: Arturo Gatti. This kid, may he rest in peace, didn't catch me flush on the chin but his punches were so heavy, heavier than Ike Quartey's. I dont know what he had in his hands.

Quickest hands: Manny Pacquiao His punches don't come from your basic boxing style; they come from all sorts of weird angles. That'ss what makes him difficult.

Quickest feet: Pernell Whitaker He was very elusive. He could spin you around and not exert much energy doing it. He did it with ease. It was so natural to him. Footwork starts everything.

Best defense: Pernell Whitaker Again, he was slippery, elusive. It was hard to crack that defense.

Best chin: Julio Cesar Chavez I hit him with some shots. In our second fight, I said to myself, My gosh. How can he not go down?

Best jab: Ike Quartey He had an incredible jab. The special thing about it was that he threw it from his chin or sometimes he would leave it loose in the air. You wouldnt notice him throwing it. His jab was very powerful, one of his best weapons. And when it landed, it really hurt. It didnt sting; it hurt. Like a hammer coming down on you.

Strongest: Fernando Vargas He just felt strong. It was so hard to handle him. I felt his weight. His punches were heavy and strong. He was solid. We all know what happened there, though: He had a little help.

Smartest: Bernard Hopkins He is the type of fighter who gets in your head. For our press tour, he was always polite, very nice. No trash talk, no nothing. After the fight, I realized: He did that because he didn;t want me to fight angry, to try to take his head off. At the time I fought him, he didnt like pressure from his opponent because he didnt like fighting the whole three minutes. He is one smart cookie.

Oscar is trying to sign Manny low-key lol he's shameless

No, no, yes cause hes about 2 divisions higher than him, maybe and no. No version of oscar would beat pac

light weight and early welter mosley definitely beats pac, tito may kill him, and Oscar would stop him.

[Boxing 956]

No, no, yes cause hes about 2 divisions higher than him, maybe and no. No version of oscar would beat pac

Nailed it, but hopkins even at that weight would of had problems with pacquiao at his prime. As for Mayweather no way, pacquiao at his prime would of stopped Floyd.
