Pacman vs Spence in JULY

Manny can fight whoever he chooses. I just hope he doesn’t continue to jerk fans around with these false rumors. It’s like the boy who cried wolf. Eventually people will stop believing this hyped up bull****. Let’s go already, fight or retire.

 

It’s funny, I totally forgot about Mikey. I miss the days when he was a serious fighter. He’s now a sideshow act. No one is going to pay to see him get beat up by a top Welter. Manny carries a large audience and Mikey is low risk for Manny but Mikey has no business fighting north of 140. Wonder if we will ever see Mikey in a real fight with a guy his own size.

But it wasn't close. At all. There should have been 4-5 points for deduction if the ref did his job, but not even counting that, it was an easy points win for Pac. You're just using a false narrative based on

to make it seem like Pac went through some kind of war. Look at the locker room selfie post fight. Pac barely has a scratch.

55 for Pacquiao, 7 for Horn, 5 draw

 

Pac said he would exercise his rematch clause but didn't follow through with it. Why? I guess he didn't want that work again. Horn beat him up. Pac still has Jeff Horn problems and instead of talking about fighting guys like Spence Crawford or Mikey he needs to run it back with Horn again.

 

Uh, Pac wanted the rematch, but couldn't schedule the fight because of his senatorial duties, which is why he couldn't fight again in 2017. His contract w/ Arum expired after the Horn fight, so he fought Matthysse in a fight he promoted himself in a busy year, fighting only once in 2018 and then he signed w/ Haymon.

Pac should be applauded for wanting the smoke w/ the young guns. But Spence, Crawford, and Mikey should be called out for wanting to fight old ass Pac. I'm hoping Spence is more interested in fighting Pac than Crawford was.

 

I'm reading through this thread and I have to wonder; in your eyes, has Manny Pacquiao ever done anything wrong? Perhaps his career wouldn't have been stretched out like this had he followed the examples of Mayweather, Cotto and Oscar and got paid fairly for his exploits in the ring. The blueprint was there, but he didn't follow it. Why?

 

What an incredibly stupid response.

 

Typically emotional response from you. Pacquiao has been short changed by Bob for years, he could have done something about that and then perhaps he wouldn't be in the position of having to chase these younger guys for dangerous fights.

 

Hope this one doesn't come through either. Pac should face the likes of Ryan and Mikey Garcia at this stage, or Loma, and Spence should face Crawford. I love that he's still open for these kind of fights, but he's too old for these guys considering the size he's giving up. The Pac of 10 years ago, **** yes - old Pac? Nah.

 

Wasn't an emotional response at all. Your post was incredibly stupid, so I labeled it as such. Seems like you're the one that was emotionally-impacted/triggered by the posts in this thread, not me.

 

Pac signed his contract for the Crawford fight. Can't be any more committed than that.

There's a lot of moving pieces and a lot of fighters are stuck in holding patterns. Spence doesn't have a fight. Thurman doesn't have a fight. Porter doesn't have a fight. Mikey doesn't have a fight. Golovkin doesn't have a fight.

Fury-Joshua has been an ongoing saga for how long now? Still no fight finalized.

Floyd's having immense difficulty getting his fight against a YouTuber off the ground.

Big names want big big crowds and big paychecks. Plus you throw in Pac's extremely limited availability and window and it makes everything more difficult to arrange.

 

pac been calling you a lot lately? cause i aint seen him talking all that mess youre saying he is.

 

Apologies to everybody else in advance for the 18942387239th Pac - Mayweather post, but this idiot brings up Floyd in every single thread, no matter what it's about.

Dedicating 90% of your posts to commenting upon and defending your hero to the point of incredulity because of nationalism or whatever is 'incredibly stupid'. You excuse his defeat to Mayweather as 'he ran'. You probably also believe in his alleged shoulder injury which was a cynical post-fight declaration designed to detract from the fact that your hero was ineffective in the ring that night. You were probably chirping about how Pac was gonna do this, gonna do that, and in the end you couldn't believe what happened so you still say, to this day, that Mayweather ran, in order to keep the mythology alive in your head, essentially to keep you from bouncing off the walls. Without those mental gymnastics, you would take Pac's humbling as a personal defeat, and your ego can't let you do that.

I don't want to see old Pac fight Crawford or Spence, for the same reason I don't want to see Mayweather against these guys. I want to see Spence fight Crawford - I want THIS generation to fight each other. I'm not interested in how long great fighters can hang on before they eventually take such a beating that they have to call it a day.

 

Why do write your response and then edit after a few minutes to add something else? Trying too hard son.

 

Let me know when a fight is signed.
