    So I criticized Floyd for fighting Berto, and no one got mad at me lmao, but I'm not allowed to criticize Pac for fighting an opponent 100x worse.

    Even though the quality of the opponent may be different, neither fight could do anything to improve Floyd's or Pac's legacy. So they are similar in some respects, + both are supposed to be easy fights.

    Was Wilder really going to fight Wawrzyk? This is literally no better or worse than that fight on paper... At least Pac doesn't go years without fighting world class competition. You don't have any problem with fighters feasting on bums just so long as you like them.

    He's probably going to make a boatload of money fighting Horn in Australia. I can't blame him at this point; if he can't get Floyd in the ring for a mega payday than he should probably take on low risk-high reward type of fights.

    I'm always for the best fighting the best, but given Manny's age and the fact he can't get a rematch with JMM or Floyd (the only 2 relevant fights for him at this stage,) than I don't have a problem with him taking on gatekeepers for the remainder of his career.
