    I say no.

    If you’re 45 years old still one of the best and want to keep fighting, you should still fight the best opponents

    manny did good in his most recent showing beating up an opponent with a good resume

    manny is still among the best despite being faded

    amp still a very credible opponent

    I think a lot more of that had to do with good match making rather than simply being the best even though you're faded.

    Last couple opponents

    Horn
    Matthysse
    Broner
    Thurman

    Respectable but definitely nothing to brag about. The other welters, crawford and Spence have done less but present youth and size over manny.

    One of his best assets was his relentless motor and many times against Thurman you could tell that Pac didn't have what a younger him did. That too was against Thurman who had been rather inactive.

    Is he one of the best at 147 yes. But at this point he's pretty vulnerable and probably the weakest 147 champ. Not sure how many more big ones he can pull out.

      Depends on who he fights AFTER Mikey Garcia. Nobody can say he cherry-picked Thurman, because despite Thurman's recent setbacks, he was still a young, undefeated, WW champion who had beaten Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter.

      The Mikey fight is not a good look though. If he fights another weak fighter after that, 45 years old or not, he's cherry-picking.

                  Well after reading how some think Pac has cherry picked I would say Pac is a cherry pick.
                  Pac will get more credit for beating you than you will get beating him at this point. No 2 ways about it.

                    This makes no sense concerning KT, Thurman despite recent set backs your words, like a 2 yr forced recovery, surgery and nearly stopped by a B grader then injured again during the fight requiring more surgery, he cherry picked Thurman because he was broken and still unbeaten with a title, Manny was in the ring with Errol and sht his pants when Errol said lets go, Manny named the winner as being a prime candidate and then when it was Errol he grabbed Thurman like a free prize in a 100mtr dash, and the irony is it will be Mikey the loser in that fight and Manny will pick him.

                    Manny has had one of the greatest managed careers in history which allowed all sorts of cherry picking and weight manipulation to get a free pass because he is a genuine atg and very popular, gets a green card for anything and his strongest fan base know very little about boxing they just swallow the hype like its their last feed.

                    I dont care about the age or anything else, if you hold a WT and still fighting fight the top guys that are in top form, be genuine even if you go out on your shield, if not have your last fight against a decent guy and retire, be in or be out.
