      In life maybe but not top level sport.. Why no Olympic champions at 40 on the running track ?

        So you think he'll lose to Broner? He looked good in his last fight with Mattyse. I thnik he'll beat Broner.

          Heard all this before, they both have no excuses come fight night. How Broner is focussing with all that other s*** going down is interesting. Going off last fight performances can't see Manny losing, has to be a UD for Manny.

            Sorry to burst your bubble, but Matthysse was past it. Already KO'd by Victor Postol, who was recently beat by Josh Taylor, whoever that is.

            Manny should win, but this fight is a must win for Broner, so I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Pacquiao. If Pac demolishes Broner, Broner's career is basically done.

            They are carefully selecting certain sized guys and styles to make Manny look good. If Manny wins, he will hopefully fight Crawford or Spence next. If Manny is back on the juice, he better stay on it for Spence and Crawford.

              Maybe at 40 Manny should get a handicap, like a golfer? Give him 2 rounds even before the fight starts?

                Don't worry you're not bursting my bubble lol. I just think Pac will beat Broner. I was more of a Mayweather fan, but Pac is undeniably a great of modern boxing to me. I just think he deserves credit to still be fighting at the top level at age 40. He's not shot either, even if he's not the fighter he used to be.

                  I was more of a Mayweather fan too. Much more of a fan of Pretty boy than Money though.

                  I have a sneaky feeling it is going to be a hell of a fight. Most people are writing Broner off, but he is in a critical stage of his career. Only 29, but if he doesn't have a great fight with Manny his career will spiral downward quickly. If he gets beat down by a 40 yr old, it is going to hurt, more mentally than physically. He may not quit, but his big fights are over.

                      dont be so hard on broner. yall hyping him up to be who he's not. he'll still fight on. he'll still get some big fights here and there and even if he some how beat manny, then he beat manny. its not gonna change anything.

                      this is just like yall saying pac beating lucas means nothing because the moment pac fight a legit ww then he loses. so if broner beat 40 year old manny, the moment he fights a top contender, he loses, as shown in his previous fights against younger top contender!
