Manny Pacquiao Super Fan Thread

He’s a living legend, one of the greatest of all time, and a great human being but he has absolutely no reason to stay active. Personally I thought he was fortunate that he was fighting a guy like Barrios and not Tank or Norman Jr.

 

Let’s not kid ourselves. Even the version of Tank that drew with Roach most likely beats the Pac that we saw last night. Age will always be a huge factor.

 

I just checked out the highlights. I was scared to watch the fight live last night. It felt more like I was watching a drunken boxer at points although what else would you expect? I'm not a fan of Pacman fighting again at this point, although, like Masuka said in Dexter, he might not be a fan of his friend doing only fans, but he will still support him.

 

I am so proud to say I grew up watching his replacement fight with Lehdwaba on the Delahoya\Castijello undercard (?} wild to think they’d fight all those years later. Saw every fight ever since, an absolute legend. I’d be hard pressed to name twenty fighters greater than him achievements wise.

 

Tank moving to 147 lol

 

This is a superfan thread for the GOAT not another hypothetical who would win a fight thread !

Thread is already ruined by having a wack ass ducker's name on the front page multiple times >=(

Anyway, my GOAT. Its all preference when comparing different generations anyway, but for me its Pac Duran SRR in that order

 

Absolute legend but was a shadow of his former self in there, he got by on his nouse and his ring iq, he didn’t fight like the Pac-Man of old and let’s be real how could he, take nothing away from him but let the man be

 

I was too tired to watch the fight yesterday. But I would have watched a fight of his no matter how tired I was before. Really I just don't want to see an old Manny get stopped by a guy nowhere near his past level.

 

I think Pacman looks more handsome with a mustache.

 

Disgusting that he was robbed of making history again.

 

Woke up still upset but last night made feel like how I did when Pacquiao fought Morales the 3rd time (like 20 years younger). Someone said it best in the other thread this was Pacman's Balboa/Dixon moment. A very respectful farewell.
