I still go for Manny. I believe it is not the size of the opponent that counts/matters but the experience, the tactics, the moves and the fighting spirit. I believe money pacquiao have it all. It is just my opinion but i still do respect other’s. Goodluck to both.
If the fight goes to the distance I am 80% positive that Manny will win the fight. Matthysse should aim for a knockout to seal his victory with no doubts coming from sports analyst and fans. Just like what happened when Marquez fought Manny for the 3rd time and he win, he retired and go back to his country ending the Marquez-Pacquiano trilogy.

Manny is too old to fight. Don't get me wrong, I love Manny, but he should be retiring and not fighting anymore. He doesn't have it anymore, too much luxury, joining politics, church stuff, etc. He is too preoccupied to even be fighting anyone. He doesn't even train as hard before a fight like he did back then. This will be a clear win for Matthysse, but gambling wise, we'll have to see the odds.
I would have to agree. Judging by the shape of Manny right now, the win might go to Matthysse but the odds may differ when it comes to gambling. A win may be in favor of Manny because he is well-known boxer and many would still want to see him win especially at this time when he haven't been winning or fighting as well as before. Manny may have been a great fighter in the past and he definitely was fast but at his age, it looks like he won't be in good shape anymore.
the same Manny we seen before, but I think a fighter always have the will to win, so I will gamble for him as he still fighting to give us
glory and to stay remembering how good he was as a fighting champs.
Manny Pacquiao switched to the Muslim religion? He was Catholic before was he not? As most of the Philippines are of Christian and Catholic faith. As I last checked it was something like 65-75%.
Wouldn't this affect his political advancements in the polls next election? And even affect him trying to become president of that country next administrative term?
Now this gets more interesting when there's the political topics and discussions enters through the topic.Wouldn't this affect his political advancements in the polls next election? And even affect him trying to become president of that country next administrative term?
- Manny isn't switching to Muslim, he's a born again Christian now but it's true that he's a Catholic faith before.
- I also have heard that his planning to run the presidency on 2020 (I'm not sure with the year).
- Let's go back to the topic of discussing about the match.

Just an update on this fight. The schedule will be moved to July 8 instead of June 24 of this year. Fight will still be held in Kuala Lumpur. According to news articles, Senator Manny rescheduled the fight to give way to the Ramadan or Muslim Festival which will start by May 16 to June 14. World Boxing Association Welterweight title is on the line.
If that's the reason of moving the schedule then Manny Pacquiao is really caring for the Muslim brothers, let's settle down and don't tackle too much with religion. I hope whether he wins or not, he'll retire.Wouldn't this affect his political advancements in the polls next election?

I think you got it wrong mate. He is not switching religion. They are just postponing the fight because they wanted to honor Ramadan. As we all know that they are fighting in a predominantly Muslim nation. So its really the right thing to do as not to anger Muslims in Malaysia. I don't know what his goal though, Maybe he will run for Vice-President or President of the Philippines remains to be seen.

If Pacquiao would lose to this fight then its time to retire i guess.How come he can be retired if his last match defeat is very controversial. Jeff horn victory is not acceptable. I know his opponent a bit and he is a power puncher. The only thing Pacquiao finish is not flawless as him is because Pacquiao always challenging different division and the level of opponent he faced is different when you are on a limited division especially when you just defending a title and also Pacquiao change his religion that's why he has mercy on his opponents unlike when he is on early stage of his career.
I'm sorry though it religion has some factors affecting Pacquiao performance or his body is really experiencing the wear and tear of his boxing career. He is not flawless because there were reports that he wasn't able to concentrate of gives more time on his trading because we all know that he is already a sitting Senator.
However, I still believed that he really won the fight against Horn, although everyone is expecting him to at least KD or KO this guy out but it didn't happened.

I think Manny Pacquiao is already needed to retired. He will not win this time because he is now old the body becomes weak, he is no longer faster as before.
How sure are you mate?Senator Manny Pacquiao is still strong until now with the boxing ring he can still fight.
One thing that comes to my mind why he is continued fighting in the ring even he has many holding belts.
All of these just for his political career that wins or lost people of their country will still love him and re-elect for senator when elections come to their place.

Ok. I thought that the fight will be postponed. At least if will give them more time to train and at least if the tickets is not sold yet, more people can buy it to bring more money in the table.
We all know that Malaysia is predominantly Muslims and it makes sense for them to honor and not fight during the Ramadan. I commend both camps for their gestures.

But yeah, win or lose Manny should retire for good, there's no point in fighting anymore. He has the power and the money already.

Well, a lot of rumors on that before but it seems like Pacquiao don’t want to leave the boxing ring without a good finishing touch. This is gonna be a good fight, both is great statistically but who will convert it into a real fight.
What we know so far is Freddie Roach has not committed himself yet to train Manny for this fight. Bob Arum is the the promoter for this fight, it will be De la Joya's Golden Boy Promotions and Manny's MP Promotion.
I'm not updated with what's happening to the boxing career of Manny but if Freddie Roach doesn't committed himself to train Manny, do you know when he will start training him or Manny will train himself alone with the assistant coach?Maybe he wants to try or reign in every division in boxing?
MP is an eight division champion so what he really does want? My opinion on this, it's not about the title, it's about the money.Of course, I believed that everyone is really fighting for the money. Boxing is now a big business. While others still want to fight because of pride. And then some wanted to prove that they still have it. Another classic example is Muhammad Ali. His health is deteriorating that time, but he needed money. And then Dela Hoya-Pacquaio. He wants to proved that Roach is wrong, however, we know what Manny did to him.
