    Ali fought a pro footballer back in the day but it never caught on. Now YouTube wankdogs will be picking the pockets of real fighters. Very sad to see.
    What? There were zero other opponents for Floyd to fight in 2017. Spence and Crawford have FINALLY emerged as legitimate opponents but Floyd is 43 years old. Pacman at 41 clearly beat Keith Thurman and I can only imagine a 32 year old Manny would've badly injured and stopped Keith. Floyd would've done the same except more outclassing and less injuring.

    Floyd is his own person. He "retired" to exhibitions and paid sparring matches. It's not his fault boxing is so corrupt that it can't produce 1 single quality fighter.

    Floyd and Manny are generational fighters. When you are spoiled with TWO of them at the same time...enjoy it. There will always be a VOID after they leave because they were special.

    Happy we at least have Canelo and Crawford and Inoue to help fill the hole. LW - 135 seems to have a real nice group emerging too. To be a PPV star though and the face of boxing you need to be more than great...you need to be a personality and have a nemesis.

      As much as you criticize Floyd it had to humble you to watch manny copy his every move.

      Exhibitions, ducking Spence and Crawford. Every criticism you’ve had of Floyd applies to manny now.

      Sorry slurp slurp but it is what it is.
      lets talk about floyd's ducking.. how did he just leave boxing the time his division has a lot of threat and just comeback after few years? isn't ducking?

        No. This thread is about Manny potentially fighting Ryan Garcia.

        If he does it’s a duck of Spence and Crawford. Has nothing to do with any other boxer.

        Talk about manny and his actions.

          manny wants to give ryan a boxing lesson with less dent to his record.. he sure don't want to make ryan a fallen star at the age of 22.

          floyd ducked a rematch with pacquiao.

            Manny wants to make money and duck Spence and Crawford. That is why he is talking about fighting Ryan Garcia.

            High reward for low risk.

            Just call it what it is.

                  Children like you should have to have a license to open their mouth, there is enough air pollution in the world already .

                  Manny is the worst cherry picker of the century, now its a novice kid so he can duck Spence and TC, Manny is a joke he was signed to fight Mctapper and in 2 days of that bombing he signs a novice kid who has beat nobody, biggest straight up duck thats gone down for a long time., the WBA should strip the WW title from him because he has no intention of defending it.

                    no your mouth is much applicable for the air pollution.. you clearly out of words.. cherrypicking? when pac always fight the best? underdog that always bit his opponents to death.. unlike floyd who cherish his 0 the most.. literally ducked margarito and khan. how about that?

                    a glass chin and a glass hands is a good fight.. why still ducked then?

                      Floyd is retired. Manny is a ww champion. I think even you can realize the difference.

                      You don’t hold retired fighters to the same standard as a current champ.

                      I didn’t say manny couldn’t do that. Its still a duck of Crawford and Spence.

                      If manny retires, gives up the belt and makes this fight, well then it’s different.
