    Filipino Boxing would die without Manny. Right now he is the only elite boxer in the Philippines. Most of them are not even pound for pound boxers. That's why after Donaire and Nietes. No Filipino boxers are in the top 20.

      And boxing will always produce superstars or future legends like Canelo if he beats Kovalev.

            Oh yeah, boxing will die when Pacquiao retires. In fact I can't imagine what boxing was like before the Pacquiao.

            Boxing was just 2 people punching each other in the face before he came along.

            The Pacquiao came along and taught us the art of boxing.

            Long live the Pacquiao.

              Manny isn’t just a special fighter, he’s a special person. People like that don’t just show up every day. His replacement may not come for a while, but boxing will certainly survive. He isn’t even the sport’s greatest ever star. Someone else will capture the popular imagination soon enough.

                Canelo would have been the new face of boxing, if he wasn't a drug cheating bastard.

                      Which is why Manny won't leave the game without passing the torch to the worthy one. That unstoppable itch---the calling to continue fighting until the torch is passed is both a curse and a blessing of the boxing gods.

                      And so the search for the worthy one continues ..
