Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao - Is This the One?

Packy may be still rated at 40 but who has he fought over the last few years to maintain his rating? It's more of a respect rating rather than one being based on results.

who has guys like spence, crawford, etc fought to maintain their rating??

Broner who has NEVER had a win against a top tier fighter gets frustrated, reverts to avoidance making faces and shaking his head and gets whitewashed or put down a few times.. I have no idea at all why people ever considered this clown elite. It will be no contest. Good riddance to one of the biggest waste of potential.

LMAO. Thats all I'm going to say. Broner did nothing to deserve this fight. Boxing wants him out of business.

His performance against a dangerous Mathysse is why he's still relevant... And we all know he beat Horn...

----------------------------------

Over the last 5 years PAC has NOT fought a single legit WW fighter. Mathysse had not a relevant fight in years and had been beaten up by Garcia so the idea that he is dangerous is just silly.

Can you explain why PAC fought a bum like Brandon Rios or Algieri or Horn (both were unknown to to actual boxing fans) or why he is even fighting Broner? Broner got beat by Garcia recently.

Why not fight an actual WW like Spence or Thurman or Porter or Crawford? It's always the same story with PAC. He keeps fighting irrelevant guys

----------------------------

They are all currently legit belt holders. Crawford beat Horn who had beaten PAC.
Spence beat Brooks who held the IBF belt. Regardless, they are all under 30 years old and the WW division is loaded with talent so there are plenty of fights to be made.

Why is PAC fighting BUMS after BUMS? Brandon Rios, Mathysse, AB, Algieri, David Diaz, even Horn? Can you explain that using common sense and facts?

Pac has earned the right to pick his opponents. He was hall of famer by 30 years old.

Both the top guys in ww have really done crap incomparison, and they’re 29 and 31. Spence and Crawford have essentially fought a few decent opponents and have shown promise, but let’s see who they fight when they hit their late 30s, not to mentioned go up multiple divisions, where they’re undersized.

It's because there is financial reward with not a lot of risk. If Pacquaio had fought Spence, Thurmond or Crawford then the fact that he is no longer a true contender would have been evident. Pacquaio is trying to set up one last BIG money fight and a bad loss would end that dream. it is about money.

Who has Crawford, Spence, or Thuman fought lately? Respect ratings also?

[Truth Serum]

Broner is basically a cherry pick for Pacquiao. Pac beats up a guy people love to hate and Pac gets some hype built up and get people interested in a rematch with Floyd. Unless Broner shows up on his A game he's set up to lose not to mention that rant against Al Berstein didn't do him any favors either lol

Was Horn a cherrypick? Oh wait he cant be because Terrence Bum Crawford fought him too.

O'Campo for Spence?

And who's the other belt holder?.. I don't remember his name anymore.

Anywho, is Broner less of a threat than those opponents?

pacquiao beat tim bradley twice in that time period he was a pretty legit welterweight how could you forget that? he also schooled jessie vargas who was recently champ at welterweight.
