    Give his fans a reason if he loses. They can always say "Well he wasnt in love with boxing anymore, he was running for congress, if Pac had been in his prime(like the fight 5 months before) he would have beaten Floyd!"

    Floyd is the best pure boxer around but if Manny and Floyd had the same reach and size PBF is in deep trouble. Anybody who does not recognize Floyd's size advantage over Manny is blind. 5 inch reach differential does Matter.

    How is he even remotely qualified to be a politician? I understand that most of it is accepting bribes and appointing cronies, but still.

    definitely he's qualified or else he's not allowed to run (and eventually got elected). as what arum said, philippines reps are just the same with usa reps, they do nothing in congress.

    Actually Floyd should run against him in his own constituent, if Manny ducks him in the ring.

    The only major difference is that it gives him another excuse to add to his list for ducking Floyd.

    It won't make any difference at all, his performance* won't drop below the level that he's maintained over the past few years. Manny is so dedicated to boxing and training in the gym that he only spends half the time performing with his band, making records, making movies, making personal appearances, running for political office and being a politician that all other elite fighters do.


    *Provided they let him take his PEDs for at least 21 days before any future fight.

    not really, he was always busy with other things. he juggles singing,acting, tv hosting, tv ads and boxing all at the same time. it made some fans worry cause he might undertrain for a fight cause he was doing so many things. but it doesnt affect him at all.
