<p>I liked gatti, but he was a 2nd tier kind of fighter, whereas the other guy is one of the best fighters I've ever seen, and I've been watching this $#!tty sport through the late 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s, and now the 2010s...

Alvarez couldnt KO Mosely. How exactly is he supposed to KO Mayweather?

It does not make a difference what the puppets want. Uncle Bob will keep Pacman tied up fighting his in house fighters until he is broken. We will not see this fight in this life time. I hope I'm wrong though because I still want to see it.

Dear boxing Gods in the Pantheon, for the love of that perfect left hook, let this conversation about Pacman vs Pretty boy End.

It's like that beautiful girl you had a crush on in high school suddenly grew up and had a sex change and now is called Billy. Let it end...let it end.

Freddy is also saying that Manny will retire if Rios knocks him out.

That would be pretty horrible to end your career being beaten by someone like Rios. Thankfully I can see the reverse being the much more likely outcome.

Sadly it depends on what Manny has left and how gun shy he will be. With a prime mentally together Manny this looks like Margarito 2 but I'm not even sure Manny really wants to go on anymore. Puzzled a little as to why Roach would go public with this.

I can see what he means though. If Manny can't hang with and beat someone who was outboxed by Alvarado then his mojo has truly flown and there is nothing to gain by carrying on flattering lesser fighters and inflating their records. I think judging by the first few rounds of his last fight he has a couple of fights left in him and he should be ok. Then he should rematch Bradley to erase that judging anomaly before retiring on a big one. We won't really know until he fights Rios.
