    I do think that it would have been better if Manny could have fought Khan and Crawford fight the winner though.

    Did I miss something in that fight Gil?as CST80 told me the same thing.
    I’m not disputing it but to my eye it was a case of judging between a guy doing a lot of holding,fouling and basically old fashioned rough em up tactics against a guy trying to be the aggressor and the one doing the smarter cleaner work.
    I thought Manny was hard done by at the time,don’t ask me to go rewatch it though lol

    There`s no way Khan could have taken the shots that hurt Broner I agree but I think Khan would have hit Broner more than Manny did, he didn`t loo sharp at all in there.

    Hmmm not sure I agree. Broner can take a punch and is durable, I think khan would have been taken out by manny. He’s a better opponent for crawford but I think manny is primarily looking for the Mayweather fight. We’ll see what happens...Mayweather is probably having second doubts cause he knows he would actually need to train for this fight as oppose to the last 2 farces.

    Probably would as Khan is Taylor made for Manny imo,that would of been some fight some years ago though when both guys were really quick.
    Let’s have it right Floyd Mayweather should bloody well fight Manny after this,vids were made of the two together at some event saying they were gonna fight and what timing it was just before Canelo v Golovkin lol.
    Winds me up with Floyd how even now he can go back on his word and get folk to jump through hoops ie “you fight Broner first and then I’ll fight you”.has all that just been forgotten or something?

    I agree about him retiring though if he can’t get Floyd.

    I think it’ll happen,too much money on the line for it not to,Floyds got a great chin as he’s hardly ever been hit and he will surely fancy himself winning seven rounds even now.

    Depends how much the money means to Floyd at this stage! He will have to train hard to keep his unbeaten record unlike the last 2 fights. Has he got the desire to do it?

    I found it hard to give Manny more than one round in the Horn fight. Prime Manny would have taken care of Horn very easily. Horn was all over Manny and Manny could do nothing about it. Call them fouls if you want, but then look at what Manny did to Hatton, who fought the same way.

    Floyd`s past it though, he would be proving nothing by beating a 40 year old Manny, the top 5 welters would beat Pac now, he left himself open often against Broner, lunging off-balance but Broner didn`t punish him, Floyd will be able to land more counters now than he did in their first bout but his handspeed is slowing down, pointless bout.

    Then you're blind. Horn didn't do much, just fouling and falling on top of Pac. Watch the highlights clearly and actually score punches landed not headbutts and elbows. Pac won 7-8 rounds quite clearly.

    That's because Manny IS shot. He is a shadow of his former self. Hopefully he'll resist the temptation to fight one of the top welters.

    I don't think he'll get a Mayweather rematch as he clearly has more left than Floyd does and no way someone like Mayweather decides to risk his 0 against his biggest rival when he's completely shot. Manny's success prob also puts paid to him fighting Khabib now as he can't take on another debutant without people calling for him to fight old Pac.

    Prime for prime I think Mayweather has too much guile for physical phenom Pac but now Pac should have the edge.
