Didn't he fight Morrison and Holyfield though before finally succeeding against Moorer? So his old ass could take 10 yrs off and fight young guns but Manny is gonna cherry pick a return from injury Thurman after Spence called his ass out face to face? Just hand the belt over. Dont need another franchise bullshyt situation like Canelo and Charlo.

he fought morrison and holyfield because they were title fights..of course he would fight them..he wanted to be champion again..thats the reason out side of the money why he came back

also foreman took 10 years and wasnt fighting no super dangerous fighters when he came back..he had to fight every month against low level b to c level comp to work off the 10 year layoff..manny pacquiao has not stepped away from boxing for that amount of time nor has he fought anyone you would consider a true jobber in a long long time..foreman fought a lot of them in his second comeback

and once he did beat moorer he did exactly what youre accusing manny of doing...so much that he was stripped of 2 belts, got some gifts, and was eventually jobbed in a fight he actually won in most ppls eyes

the WBA doesnt do franchise..thats the WBC which spence holds....so that wont happen

i do agree manny shouldn't hoard that belt and maybe covid might have stopped some plans for him to announce a fight but at the same errol spence shouldn't have got drunk and crash his fukking car if he had his mandatory fight signed and sealed..because now that fight has to go on before a unification can get made

I'm ready for ALL of these fades.

Prograis and Hooker are fighting at 147 though?

I’ve heard 140 or a catch-weight in between. DAZN needs to quit bullshytting, they could build a decent 147 Stable if they wanted to.

Just checked they fighting at a catchweight of 143, so technically still Welter. Leaving themselves open for fights at 140 and 147 I think, which is smart lots of fights for them to make between those two weight classes.

thats a 147 fight...hooker had been struggling to make weight in his last 2 140 fights..he almost lost his belt on the scales against les pierre..his last fight was at 147 and he looked strong so fukk it let him see what he and prograis can do..although i thought prograis would have stuck around 140 some more

chocolatito vs estrada 2 is FOTY on paper

prograis vs hooker is 50-50 with certain variables in place

haney vs campbell should be a chess match..luke campbell is a decent fighter but he is unlucky as fukk at 135 with the cats hes been facing for title shots lol

Didn't haney call out a few people like Davis?

these young guns talk trash to each other at social media and calling each other out. In reality they know it's probably not possible for now due to different promoters and networks (Tank is PBC's darling, Haney is Matchroom's) but it's still good for marketing purposes, drumming up interest plus I think some of them just genuinely don't like each other and now in the social media age they have more opportunity to talk shyt w each other, rivaling each other and so on

Jeff Horn was a true jobber. He's basically a nobody and has beat NO ONE.

As for Spence? He did get drunk. What is anyone gonna do about it? Because before that? They didn't do shyt. Manny needs to step up..Danny needs to step up...Porter and Crawford need to step up too. Its Spence fighting everybody. Not the other way around. Canelo is ducking Middleweights..Crawford sounds almost nervous to even attempt to fight Porter. Spence got broken and is coming back fighting everybody and he's not like Joshua or Canelo..if he says he's gonna do it, we all damn well know he's gonna do it.

Or he just aint that good bro. Haney should smoke him. Hope Haney fights Fortuna too back to back, would be a good statement to make for Haney career so far.

Both around the same levels to me, both Campbell and Fortuna would be good fights for Haney

He’s been complaining about making weight for a while now. These 2 would be ideal fights before moving up to 140.
