If manny pacquiao manage to beat Crawford at 140, brook at 147 and somehow school Canelo at 154 by the remaining of the decade. Would that make Pac The Fighter of 2 Decades? Personally I would vote so. Those 3 are consensus the Best in 3 weight class they are in.
That would be impressive, though I think at this stage of his boxing career it becomes harder for him to end on a winning note by facing those 3 young hungry lions, and to be honest I probably wouldn't favor him against any of them. But Manny is an ATG, so he's capable.
Beats GGG & Dumps Roach + divorces Jinkee (Hooks up w/Her Twin), Joins a cult while still doing his senate thang, drops 147 WBO hires Mayweather Sr... moves to 175lbs & takes on Ward (after the beating he gave Kova) destroys SOG, challenges Valuev. (That went thru a time machine) where does that Manny rank?
As Bradley point out, there are levels in the game. He also said that fighting manny mentally drain you as he is operating at different level. Most opponents encounter the same thing when they are in front of floyd. While I do think that Manny is operating around 65% of his former self, none of those 3 will make manny tentative. When it come to fighting in trenches I think manny speed will still be a factor in who will land first.
Sure, but these 3 guys you mention are skilled offensive fighters in their own rights, all fresher and could take a solid punch. It would come down to if Manny can get on the inside and be effective given he'd be at a significant size advantage against all 3, and we know he can be tamed to a degree... I'd rather Pac retire though, he's got nothing left to prove.
I agree, pac got nothing to prove. But retirement seems to be not in their plan, at least for now. And Crawford seems to be next.
