    He wasn't interested in the sequel to Jeff Horn either.. Pac is past prime.

    At this stage, Lomachenko would be a 70/30 favorite to beat Manny, but Manny being the bigger guy and bigger puncher has more than a puncher's chance. That said, WTF are you talking about? Lomachenko swarmed and pressured Rigondeaux until Rigondeaux's fragile little heart gave out.

    It was pathetic... Postol was like a beached whale and Bud still danced around him.

    Australian promoter Dean Lonergan confirmed the news on Friday that Pacquiao's job as a senator in the Philippines will mean he's unable to fight Horn in November, per the Associated Press (h/t [url]ESPN.com[/url]):

    "On behalf of the Philippines government, he (Pacquiao) will be part of a delegation that will visit China in the middle of his proposed preparation period for the fight. Pacquiao is committed to fighting again in 2018 and a rematch with Jeff Horn for the WBO world welterweight title."

    But but but it makes for better trolling to imply he's scared.

    Pacquiao's such a cowardly ducker. It's disgusting. Fought his nemesis 4X who not only was the worst stylistic nightmare for him, but was heavily roided for the last 2 fights.

    No he would not. That fight would be closer to 50/50 and sorry. Loma only landed 50 punches with all this pressuring you clowns are spinning. It was a very passive way of “pressuring”. He literally threw minimal punches while complaining to ref about Rigo holding him.

    Did you even watch the fight ?
    Do you know anything about boxing ?
    Rigo had the air of "god" about him before he fought loma. Then loma does what he does best which is dismantle his opponent. And all of rigo's "tricks" didnt work.

    You are clueless. Its that simple.

    I'm not even convinced Pac gets past Matthysse.

    Who said he doesn't beat Manny? He's a terrible style clash for Manny, that's obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense, but Bud would also be on the backfoot hauling ass throughout. No one is exaggerating Bud's propensity for going backwards, he wasn't hyper aggressive against Klimov, Beltran, Burns or even John Molina, he's a hyper cautious fighter, it is what it is. He's like Loma, when he has an opponent he doesn't fear, he beats the **** out of them and is willing to get hit, when he fears his opponents, he fights apprehensively.

    And for the record, Loma stood in the middle of the ring, just out of range and boxed Rigo's ears off, don't even DARE compare than brilliant performance to that embarrassing debacle Bud put on against the featherfisted Postol.

    Let's be clear... If Crawford represented a huge pay day, Pac would be in the ring w/ him. And also let's be clear(-er) — prime Manny kills Crawford. Post-KTFO6 Manny has a 50/50 shot of beating Crawford. Crawford doesn't survive the same left hook that had Horn out on his feet in the 9th.

    :deal:
