As a boxing enthusiast I was recently the Pac vs Morales trilogy. I had a moment of clarity that made me sad as a Pac fan. Which is he will suffer a fate similair to that of many boxers in the past, which is get ktfo past prime. Manny is a warrior and surrounded with yesmen who fill their pockets with him fighting and therefore gas him up. After the Thurman fight and covid pandemic he should have pulled of into the sunset, do a Vitali and stick to politics, nothing left to prove. If its true, facing Bud is admirable and dangerous. Its a bad match up stylistically, especially after all the inactivity. However even if he pulls it off and beats Crawford it wont be the end. No farewell easy fight in Manilla and hanging them up. He will be thinking he can still hang and hyped up to keep going. Which eventuslly leads to humiliations by guys he would have destroyed in his prime. Similair to Louis, Ali, Hopkins, Rjj, srl, Johnson, tyson, Chavez or Srr, Pac will get brutally ktfo'd again in time by some bum he would have whooped in his prime and as a pacfan its a very sad thing to realize.
I agree with some of your points, it is sad. But it's never been too late! If he were to do that last fight in Manila, who do you think he should fight?
How is Manny surrounded by yes men? Isn't Freddie Roach still in his corner? Freddie seems like a good dude.
Hey I heard if he lost a few pounds and took it more seriously, Buboy would be the new head trainer at wild card after the great Freddie Roach retires. I remember in one of their old fights Buboy said ''i am an eagle and I need two of my wings to soar, coach Ariza and coach Freddie."
If Pacquiao gets knocked out Pakkman aka Joker will disappear forever, just like the hundreds of Pac tards that disappeared when Marquez almost killed Pacquiao
Shut up jerk yeah it is definitely possible for A 43 YEAR OLD fighter to get knocked out when he’s facing top fighters who are much younger than him... wow what an amazing observation
He deserves to be chinned for fighting that Terence "Bum" Crawford and ducking that Irish karate fella Mayweather fought
I'm a massive Pacquiao fan. I'm also a massive boxing fan. I'll be around If he gets KTFO. You'd kill yourself if Clenelo got KTFO, though. Not that that is likely to happen because Clenelo cherrypicks.
What do you mean by he’ll ‘think’ he can still hang if he beats Crawford? If he beats Crawford then there’s no doubt at all that he can still hang and still has something to give.
I mean, if Pac beat Crawford, I doubt he'll fight Spence as the timing would leave him at 43 or 43.5 years old. It would be an easy touch (light-hitting opponent) in a farewell fight in the Pillapeens.
