Lucas had nothing left in his last 2 bouts, and this time he fought a guy in manny that still has a touch of hand speed left & and some pop. Here’s the deal, Matthysse was more Taylor made than Horn. AB fight makes dollars & makes the most sense to get Manny possibly a win against a guys that will be right there to be hit. If he wins that fight by early next year he can go out on his shield vs Garcia or Spence

He is not a live dog anymore against the best. Crawford-Horn showed us that. Even if you believe Pac eeked out a decision over Horn, Crawford toyed with him. The excuse for Pac was that Horn was this huge young welterweight, even if he was untalented. We saw that he was no larger than a Crawford who just came from 140.
I watched a replay late saturday and fell asleep after a few rounds but expected a Pac stoppage, Lucas was a sitting duck, Pac had no fear of his power and Lucas had nothing to offer.

Can't believe atlas? Pacs Just as faded and had more fights and older. Floyd got credit for beating faded pac having had less fights than pac and being bigger.
You entertain Pac against Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr. or Keith Thurman.
It's ok for floyd not to entertain them. Floyd didn't even have to beat someone as good as luca. He beat connor and made connor look great, world class even.
Pacs best of era.

Jeff Horn was able to do enough damage to Pacquiao that two judges found at least 7 rounds to give him the fight; Terence Crawford basically beat Horn 9-0, with the last two rounds getting ugly as Crawford opened up.
There's a reason why the only fight that Pacquiao is even interested in talking about is 130lb Vasyl Lomachenko at as high a weight as his camp is willing to take.
