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

[Truth Serum]

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

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

Replace Pac with (enter you favorite WW's name).

It's not fair on boxing that we didn't see the Floyd-Pac II

Broner wont be active enough to even get a gift decision. The side doesnt let his hands go. I think he was chosen to make Manny look good so they can elevate guys like Spence and Thurman who would beat Manny up at this point.

This is kind of a dream fight for Manny. He is going to be able to tee off on Broner who has slow feet.

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.

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

I don't doubt that PAC is a hall of fame boxer and yes 10 years ago he fought the likes Morales (whom he lost to hence the trilogy), Marquez (arguably lost too hence the 4 fights), Barrera etc.
That was not my question. After PAC moved up in weight all he did was cherry pick himself into this legend that he is (not).

At 135 he fought David Diaz (a guy nobody knows to this day), he moved to 140 and fought Hatton who had lost to Floyd so nothing special there.

He then fought Cotto at 145 and this was Roach's strategy to weight drain Cotto. He did the same to Margarito.

Look at his record after 2009. 17 fights in which he lost several and got brutally KO'd by Marquez and no it was not a lucky punch because Marquez dropped him in the third round with the same punch.

I like PAC and I am not hating on him. He could have fought other guys than the bums he fought and now he's being excused because he's 40? Please.

I think pacman is done now, he can fight whoever he wants those young guys are ducking each other yet you demand pac to fight them all. And you will give them full credit beating a wash up pacman, but every fight pac fights you will say his opponent is damage or old or a cherry pick

Another biased pro black racist. How come you never go in on errol spence? I remember little as manny who is five foot five was getting heat by guys like you saying he was picking on smaller guys when he fought brandon rios, how are they small when they are taller and weigh more than manny and didnt have to drain themselves when they fought him?

Also why not criticize errol spence for fighting mikey garcia? Why do you only focus on manny?

Ill respect you more if you just say yes im biased and only support black boxers and just want to discredit pacman because he isnt black, but if he were black he would be king to me.

Diaz was a legit champ. Just because people don't know someone doesn't mean that someone's accomplishments are meaningless. Im sure to give you a couple of names and i bet you won't know all of them till you looked them up

Thing with cotto and margarito is they were a LOT bigger than pac. Them being weight drain is up for debate but even then they could've stop Pac just using their size. Pac even reported that his whole body hurt after margarito.

Since 2009 his losses were against bradley,marquez,floyd and horn two of which are very controversial and the other two are nothing to be ashamed about. It was no lucky punch but it was once in a career punch and like i said nothing to be ashamed about.

Since being knocked out by marquez pac has consistently fought guys rank by the Ring except for horn,rios and matthyse now tell me who other champ of that same span of period has a better opposition?

Pac's body at age 40 a day before the weigh-in #PacBroner

[Curtis Harper]

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

The only thing about LM that was dangerous was his reputation at a lighter weight. LM had no future at ww.
