    I've been hearing rumblings about this albeit I have not really read up on it yet. Are they implying Manny is confirming another big fight?... what do you guys think about those comments ?

    Nevermind, I read up on it, it was out of date article from 2018, to salvage this thread what do you guys think would happen in this match up?

    At junior welter

    Freddie Roach's opinion does not matter to what Manny Pacquiao wants. He's almost useless in Manny's camp except for mitts, even that Buboy can do it too. He's only there because Manny has pity on him, because he begs, he even wanted to go with Manny free of charge because being with Manny gives him and his gym a really really good exposure and most importantly he loves to speak up to the media ala Hollywood Roach as they call it. But his opinion and what Manny wants is not the same. Manny wanted the Thurman's, Spence's, Crawford's of the world, Freddie Roach wanted Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia, Lomachenko's of the world, very big difference.

    If Pac loses, he should just go back to 140 and take on guys more his size.

    BS. 20 years together. Took him to the top. You're not privy to what goes on in his camp and how much contribution the head coach has.

    33 about to be 34 isnt young in boxing at all, especially for a welter. Many top boxers are essentially done at that age
