Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Steps Away From Rematch, Horn To Defend on 11/12

If Manny can't stay active he needs to retire. The only way to contend with father time is to stay active. While I still think he beat Horn easily, he did show either ring rust or signs of deterioration.

I got him beating Spence and Thurman pretty easily, people will be shocked at how easily he beats them

He might beat Spence but it wouldn't be easy. I doubt he can beat Thurman.

Dont give a f**k how this plays out as long as it doesn't involve Pac fighting Crawford at any point in the future. That is suicide. Manny should do a Klitsckho.

No doubt Arum will send Vargas over to Oz, would be a good fight IMO

How long did you think it would take before clowns accuse Manny of ducking Horn. Laughable. Manny has always insisted on rematches whenever he has lost. He's not ducking this goofy bastard. My prediction is that if Manny doesn't fight Horn in the early part of 2018, he will take on a better opponent for a big money fight.

The way the word "duck" gets thrown around so easily why wouldn't it apply to Pacquiao? If this was any other fighter they wouldn't even wait for him to say no on the rematch.

Enter Mayweather. He will announce it the day before the GGG Canelo fight.

Pac probably thinking of retirement now

[BrometheusBob.]

And so the stage is set for Crawford vs Horn.

The fight we've all been waiting for

Any other fighter? Such as? Truth is, Pac has shown no signs that he has ever ducked an opponent. The guy who has stepped up to bigger and stronger opponents his entire career is now suddenly ducking Jeff Horn who got a gift?

Whatever reasons Pac has for not fighting him in November are likely two things--his responsibilities as a Senator, or money/venue/contract issues. They are not issues of the heart or because he is afraid of Jeff Horn. Especially when you consider he beat the guy and got robbed.

Retire Manny! I wanted him to retire after Vargas

And so the stage is set for Crawford vs Horn.

****ing Bob Arum
