    At this stage of his career, if Manny thought this was a really dangerous fight , he wouldn't take it my opinion. Now Crawford? that would be dangerous.

    Not a chance. That fight was close and there was no "beating". IIRC, many though Vargas may have edged it. I scored it for Garcia and thought he deserved to win, but it was a close fight.

    Pac is older now, but if he is anything near what he was against Thurman, I think he wins. Garcia is not the cream of the crop at 147, Pac still is.

    Mikey should fight Danny or Porter and prove himself at WW.

    Id prefer any of the top LW’s at LW, Taylor at 140 or Crawford/Spence.

    Slightly favor Pacquiao at 147, but he's bound to show up one of these days as a complete shell (especially given his layoff since Thurman). Hope it's a farewell fight and he can go out on a positive note.

    Only thing Pac got going for him is he doesn't drink (anymore), do drugs, and he doesn't balloon in weight.

    Shouldn't you be calling Crawford and Spence disgraceful cherrypickers for wanting to fight a small and almost 43 year old part time boxer?

    Mikey is just there to collect cheques now.

    I have no confidence in him.

    People are tripping.

    Mikey loses to Spence, has a layoff, and all of a sudden hes not a force?

    Make no mistake, this is dangerous fight for Pac. One that he should win, but dangerous nonetheless. If Mikey finds his range on Pac and isnt put into a shell by Pacs offense, he can hurt Pac with his sharp and accurate right hands.

    Wish they would have had a lead in fight where Mikey beats someone else first, because its a shame Pacs not going to get the credit he deserves for this if he wins.

    You know, the Thurman fight took a much harder toll on Pac, than the Spence fight did on Mikey. Then you factor in that Pac hasnt fought since, and Mikey has, and peoples reaction to this fight is somewhat bizarre to me.

    People have absoutely no idea what Pac is going to have left at this stage, and Mikey is fighting someone actually his size, against a hittable and hurtable opponent who will be coming at him.

    Ya people are tripping.

    such a shame that we didn't see him at his absolute best, the guy has completely wasted his prime
    He'll no doubt point to his bank balance and health and say **** you so fair play to him I guess

    Meaningless fight. Simply a business venture by both Pac and Mikey.

    Having said that, it might be a very entertaining fight.

    Meaningless? Has potential to be pretty entertaining. Do you only watch title fights or something?

    Yes it's meaningless cause it will have little bearing in regards to who the best fighter is at 147.

    I've been a hardcore boxing fan for over 25 years and I've been trying to walk away from it cause I devoted to much of my free time to it. So yes, I am getting pickier with the fights I watch. I'm on my way to becoming a casual, is that a problem for you?
