Manny by TKO in the 10th. Should be a great fight. Good stylistic matchup.

Manny Pacquiao, if the real Manny shows up even in his 40's
Broner shouldnt have a chance. I would love to see Mayweather fight Manny again and Canelo

Broner at one time seemed to think that if he acted like Mayweather (i.e. an obnoxious loudmouth) he would actually be like Mayweather, seemingly not realising that Floyd became one of the best of all time not just because of incredible innate gifts but also because he worked his arse off. Ultimately Adrien was a hype-job.

The ghost of Manny Pacquiao wins this.

is boxing still as popular or as good as it was? maybe its me, but i struggle to show much interest in it, when you remember hagler, hearns, duran, leonard, holmes, holyfield and lewis etc i think those days were the zenith of the sport compared to now.

It is certainly not what it use to be. I think mainly because the heavy weight division (after Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, etc.) was very boring for many years. The hardcore fans watch all the weight classes but the casual fans prefer the HWs. Tyson Fury (UK) and Deontay Wilder (USA) are HWs and just had a great fight. I think they will bring some more spark back to boxing. They are supposed to fight again.

I have been watching MMA (UFC) a lot in recent years. I love boxing though. Always will.

I have a difficult time seeing some of my favorite fighters in the ring after 40 years old. I believe that while the damage to the brain is accumulated, slower reflexes increase the damage in the later years. Good luck, Manny!

i see all these great fighters fighting past 35 years of age and it tells me the sport is in decline,

its not just boxing, in tennis i cant see the next generation of greats,

you need your 'greats' they make the standard and they make it all possible.

Well the fight was not what I was hoping for. Let's see if MP's camp can get a fight set up with MP.
