    It’s always a tune up for Manny.
    Brandon Rios, Mosley, Mathysse, Broner, Oscar, Clottey etc were all time ups and were all coming off spectacular losses.

    Manny just beat Thurman, how the fück does he need a tune up or why fight any of the Garcia’s ?

        Pacquaio is the very definition of playing with house money. He cannot hurt his legacy, he can only help it. If he gets beat or KOed, he was just old and it means nothing. If he wins it’s another notch on his belt to an amazing career.

        Even if he holds on too long and loses his next few fights it will matter zero to his overall career assessment. That’s a good spot to be in.

          Pacman is still number two in popularity among active boxers after Canelo!?

            Did you see.... Horn compete/win vs Pac, Mikey last 12 with Spence, Danny G receive corrupt gift decisions vs Mauricio Herrera & Lamont Peterson?? Oh, did you also see T Crawford give Horn a serious beating? (1st bout at 147)
            None of your cats would last 6 rounds with Bud, especially Mikey. Bud would do what Spence couldn't vs Mikey...KTFO!

              DSG is certainly not a tune up.
              That’s ridiculous.

              Spence was a drunk driver that dude needs to take a back seat now. And there isn’t really any WW that is deserving of a Pacquiao paycheck just yet. Not only that, but really nobody is there to enhance Pac’s legacy nor give PAC a solid paycheck.

              Many of them are either mid/high risk all with low reward.

              PAC might just have to go in and slay swift or Mikey, maybe even Porter. And then see what’s come next after when Spence is better, or IF he’s better.

              Crawford is at Top Rank and is completely undeserving of a pac fight.

                And you just ignored the BUMS that pac fought!!

                Brandon Rios, Horn, Mathysse etc plus guys that had literally just lost when PAC fought them (Mosley, Broner, Oscar, Clottey etc).

                Were they deserving? Were they worth it?
                Why didn’t he fight the belt holders at the time?

                  Absolutely, he has 2 fights left and he should use it againsts the 2 since Mayweather wont return. If he wins then he'll be the unified ww champion and a good case for fighter of the decade.

                  What would he gain fighting the Garcias or Porter? Little money?

                    Broner earned it too right?

                    We all know horn earned it right .

                    Matthysse earned it?


                    Oh Mikey earned it after getting his ass kicked by said Spence?

                    Danny earned it tho

                    ****** logic
                    Yes, Thurman beat the likes of Garcia and Porter and he was the champ.

                    Horn was mandatory.

                    And Pacquiao was rebuilding with Broner.

                    Matthysse was the champ also.

                    Do you follow boxing, you don't seem to know a lot

                      Besides Crawford I think Porter is the toughest fight, next comes Mikey then Danny .

                      Spence has a big ? mark over him right now.

                      Spence needs to step up his game to earn a shot.

                      He needs to fight Crawford, but he still ha unfinished business with Porter.

                      Pacquiao can fight whoever he wants to
