1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: He came, he saw, and so many times he conquered. Now, 2 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: at the age of forty two, boxing icon Manny Pacio 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: has called it a career as the sports Only eight 4 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: division champion. My name is Brian Campbell. Youre looking at 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: a Morning Combat extra audition here, just looking to sort 6 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: of put into words the impact and the legacy that 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: the forty two year old Filipino legend has had on 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: this sport as he puts the boxing gloves aside following 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Tuesday night's impromptu press conference on his Facebook page announcing 10 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: that he will fight no more as Manny Pacio looks 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: to run for the presidency of the Philippines in twenty 12 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: twenty two. My name is Brian Campbell's. I mentioned one 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: half of Morning Combat alongside Luke Thomas every Monday, Wednesday 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: and Friday at eleven am Eastern here on YouTube on 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: the MK channel, giving you all the hot takes in boxing, 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: MMA and beyond. To check that out, But right now 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: I really want to focus on such a cultural icon 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: and crossover legend in Pacchio that the emotions kind of 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: hit hard here. I didn't expect him to fight again 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: after losing somewhat soundly there in a close but convincing 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: decision loss to your Dennis Ugas. In August on pay 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: per view, Ugas defended the WBA welterweight title two but 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: replacing late the injured Errol Spence Junior, which was yet 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 1: another time Manny Pakiao reaching up and daring to be great. 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: Backyall looked a little sluggish, he looked a little old. 26 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: He threatened retirement after that fight. Now it seems he's 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: going through with it. Doesn't mean I'll never fight again. 28 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't believe that fighters obviously retire so 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: often in Pakiall loves this game so much that if 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: you imagine a scenario, let's say, where he doesn't win 31 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: the presidency of the Philippines, you're gonna see him back. 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: That just is what it is. But let's take him 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: at his word for right now. What does he leave behind? 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean, certainly one of the greatest surefire Hall of 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: Fame careers we've ever seen. Whether you have him, you know, 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: the one bead to the one a of Floyd Mayweather 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: as the face of this modern boxing era, Pakiel's legacy 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: is so unique to itself, even separate from Mayweather, that 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: you know you want to come on here and and 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: sort of add an accompaniment to a piece I wrote 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: on cbssports dot com this week on the boxing page, 42 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: looking at it, sort of five reasons here why many 43 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Pacquiao's legacy is so unique to himself and why really 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: why we'll never see another one exactly like him, specifically 45 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: in this in this biz boxing businessman era that we 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: see where fighters barely fight twice a year, sometimes take 47 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: on easier opponents. You had an old school throwback, unlikely 48 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: crossover global superstar, pay per view hero who came on 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: there and put one slugfest after another in his prime 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: and constantly moved up and weighed and dared to be great. 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: There's only one many Pakiao, and I want to sort 52 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: of open like this. It's not that I didn't know 53 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: he was going to go, but when it's when it's 54 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: when you have closure, when it's in your it's real. 55 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: I never lost on what we had in him, even 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: though for most of us, you know, Pekkio has been 57 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: on top for like two full decades, right, He's been 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: a pay per view star for about fifteen years. For 59 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: some of us, not me specifically, but a lot of 60 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: boxing fans, it's like they don't know boxing without Pakio 61 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: on top. So it's a sobering thing to see him 62 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: gone now when you know, everyone thought that the Mayweather 63 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: fight in twenty fifteen was gonna be the mountaintop for 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: both and they'd sort of both linger on and fall 65 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: off after that. Mayweather to a large degree, has even 66 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: though he stayed busy lately with attraction fights, but that 67 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: Ka never went anywhere. Yeah, he juggled being a full 68 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: time senator and a full time fighter, and there were breaks, 69 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: but he stayed an active fighter. But yet now seeing 70 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: him gone, it does make you sort of start to 71 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: put into context. Did we have right here the closest 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: thing we've ever had to a Muhammada Adhli ofar Era? 73 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: And and like you know, lightning will strike you if 74 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: you say those type of sacrileged words. Because there's no 75 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: one like Muhammad Ali. That's why Ken Burns can do 76 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: a PBC Dot comentary and it's like the one hundredth 77 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: documentary on Ali. Yet people are kicking down the door 78 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: to see it. Nobody had that impact. He was a hero, 79 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: He's a villain, he was humanitarian, he was everything Pacchio 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: might come the closest, you know. I mean it's rare 81 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you see boxers run for president. But such a humble, 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: graceful person who has evolved through the years in front 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: of our eyes. Yet he was everyone's favorite fighter at 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: some point. He really was. He was one of those 85 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: gateway drug fighters that pulls in the casuals, the non 86 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: sports fans, the grandmothers who watched him sing, you know, 87 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: off off tone karaoke Jimmy Kimmelong were like, man, this 88 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: this this guy's adorable, and he had that at his core. 89 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: You know what made Pachyo great, Well, this is the 90 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: fighting style and the hunger. Yeah, yeah, of course, but 91 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: the dichotomy of that mixed with such a just a humble, 92 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: regular guy who you know, you lived the you lived 93 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: the fast life for a while, but once he buckered down, 94 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: he became a a family man, a god fearing man, 95 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: and you know, in a giving man, you know. I mean, 96 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: some of the look he has controversial polow, some of 97 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: the charity people argue is for show. But you know, 98 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: the many I've gotten to know over the years through 99 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: interviewing him, it's real and genuine as it gets. I mean, 100 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: he's a great dude, he's an asset to the sport. 101 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: He's like the you know, the poster, a person you 102 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: would want to represent something. And for so many people 103 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: who only come to boxing once or twice a year 104 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: for the big events, Paquiel was that key and he 105 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: was you know, if he again, if he wasn't the 106 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: greatest fighter of this era, and you know, to be 107 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: fairy fought Floyd Mayweather finally after a five and a 108 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: half year courtship, and you know they were one and 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: two pound for palm. Were they older? Yeah, they were 110 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: thirty eight and thirty six. It wasn't a prime example 111 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: of where they were, but terms were even and Floyd 112 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: won the fight. So he's probably your face of the division. 113 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: And I do rate him just that much higher historically 114 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: because of that. But Pacquiao's run is so unique that 115 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: he does have the argument that he sort of transcends 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: that argument and that you would rank him higher when 117 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: you take into totality everything he accomplished, and you know, 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: it's it's really hard to say, will will there ever 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: be another Manny Pachio? No, Like, I mean, will we 120 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: ever see in history somebody win titles in eight divisions, 121 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: even in this like absolutely watered down era where let's 122 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: be honest, like Adrian Broner, good fighter, marketable, flashy fighter, 123 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: never great. He's a four division champion. Why because we've 124 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: got so many titles in every weight class that you 125 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: end up in these fights for the vacant title and 126 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: you're suddenly I was a champion at that weight class. Well, Maria, 127 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: it's not that Pacchio didn't have at least one scenario 128 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: where he picked up a belt and wasn't the true 129 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: champion of the division. But for the most part he 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: was the champion and would clean out the divisions he 131 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: was in, and he went titles in eight divisions, which 132 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: no one's ever time. Mean that that alone is like 133 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: it's sort of like a band that you know, may 134 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: had some longevity and had great hits, but that one 135 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: album that they had that they became famous from was 136 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: so ridiculously perfect and great that they could never need 137 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: or want or have another hit or do anything. And 138 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: that one thing, right, you know, it's like if you 139 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: star as Luke Skywalker and the Star Wars, like I 140 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: don't know if Mark Hamill's ever been in another movie, 141 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They set you know, that's his legacy 142 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: forel like Pacquio could have been that with the eight 143 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: division champion thing, only he did that in twenty eleven, 144 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: right like, he went on to fight a full decade, 145 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: went on to author this absurd twilight to his career. 146 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: It's there's so many layers the more you really think 147 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: about it to what we had here, uh, to a 148 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: guy that was like he was like a guarantee on 149 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: pay per view for the most part. Now did he 150 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: did he did he turn more into a boxer for 151 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: a short period after the vicious knockout loss to Wan 152 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: men wal Marcus and their fourth fight in twenty twelve. Yes, 153 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: he did the Brandon Rios fight. You know, a couple 154 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: of those fights and you see more packya the boxer. 155 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: But for the most part, he came after you. And 156 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: that's an old school way of operating for a guy 157 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: who was always the smaller guy for the most part, 158 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: would always drap you know, rise up and wait, defy 159 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: the odds. And he gave you an honest night at 160 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: the office. And in a pay per view era where 161 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: you'd kind of pay for the promotion, right, especially in 162 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: the era of like twenty four to seven in all 163 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: access documentaries. Sometimes Mayweather would lure you in to be 164 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: paying for the promotion and then you know you'd watch 165 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: him for twelve rounds just be a master out there. 166 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: But to casuals, they're not always entertained by that. Pacio 167 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: was that rare brand, consistent through the years. Does a 168 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: matter who he's facing, you know, he's going to try 169 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: to face the best and for the most part, he's 170 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: going to entertain you. Now, let's look at five reasons 171 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: here why beyond the eight division titles that pakiaw was 172 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: so different and we may never see someone again like him. 173 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: Number five, you know, he never stopped fighting like that 174 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: poor kid on the side of the road in the 175 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: developing nation. And it's like, yeah, there's a little hay 176 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: giography demigod treatment of Paciao's backstory. Maybe boxing's the only 177 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: sport that can, you know, produce a Paul Bunyan tail 178 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: like this. But you know, for the most part, from 179 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: the research, I'll tell you it's true. His parents divorced 180 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: when he was young. His mom was a single mom, 181 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: was kids, They barely had a roof over their heads. 182 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: Pacchio essentially drops out of high school to sell cigarettes 183 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: and donuts on the side of the road. Time's got 184 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: so bad. He moved to the capital city of Manila, 185 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: kind of lived in the streets, took odd construction jobs 186 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: to send money back home, and then he stumbles into 187 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: a boxing gym and the rest is history. He turned pro. 188 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: He turns pro at age sixteen, at one hundred and 189 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: six pounds, and again, who would have ever thought he's 190 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: fighting to kind of put food on the table. But 191 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: number five the reason why he never stopped fighting like that, 192 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, like I don't even want to do the 193 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: Marvin Hagler thing again of like hard to do roadwork 194 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: in silk sheets, that whole line. But it's true, it's 195 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: hard to foster that same level of determination when you 196 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: finally made it because a lot of the fuel for 197 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: fighters that's guiding them to potentially be great is the 198 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: want for comfort and fame and attribution for what they're doing. 199 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: And once you get that, you know, it's sort of like, well, 200 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: I kind of like being a celebrity here, kind of 201 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: like being rich bitch, you know what I mean, And 202 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's not Sometimes rock music is 203 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: the same way. It's like, you know, Pearl Jam had 204 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: a great career. They're still torn, they're still awesome, live, 205 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: still make good albums, never made one like ten before 206 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: with that type of anger and angst and fuel. Pacquiao 207 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: had that fuel every single fight, more or less. Even 208 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: again as the older, smaller fighter, he's the one coming forward, 209 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: engaging in battle and that type of fighting spirit. It's 210 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: the edge that he had in his absolute prime where 211 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: you're just like, I don't know much about this guy, 212 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: but I gotta watch him. This is so much fun, 213 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: and it's obviously would help him out last other guys 214 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: in really close fights, and I think even more, you know, 215 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: it's what got him through some really tough moments. It 216 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: was this like I'm not going back to that street corner. 217 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't care, you know. I know there's been reports 218 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: through the years that he's had financial issues and he 219 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: keeps ridiculously larded entourage, and he gives away so much 220 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: of his money and he flies hundreds of people to 221 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: his fights, and you know, maybe there are times that 222 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: he's fighting for money, or some people say he entered 223 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: politics just for the built in financi I don't know. 224 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: I don't know his real motivation there. I'm not trying 225 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: to paint him as a saint. But he kept fighting 226 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: like that kid who's like, if I don't make it 227 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: here through this, you know, I don't know. I don't 228 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna be doing tomorrow. And you know, 229 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: I love the old stories. Like his dad they were 230 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: so hungry. His dad ate his dog and then Manny 231 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: ran away and left. I don't know if that's all real. 232 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: That's that could be some Filipino magic there, But the 233 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: Filipino magic you saw inside the ring was who many is. 234 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: And not only did he not forget that kid, you know, 235 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: he gave back a lot and he's still give him 236 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: back today. And that's that's where you get those sort 237 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: of ali like comparisons. There is a generation of fans 238 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: who got into the game, as I mentioned, because of him. 239 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: And you know, think of the think of the Filipino nation, 240 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: Think of the country that is, you know, had so 241 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: many ups and downs and is still kind of a 242 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: quasi third world country when you look at the financials 243 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: and the numbers there, and how many people look at 244 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: him as an absolute hero rightfully, so who just came 245 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: from nothing thing? And look where he is today, And 246 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, I've got to do that myself. Okay, I 247 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: thought I'd always be that guy from the factory town, 248 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, to have that hunger in that passion. He 249 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: never lost it, and I think it's that love for 250 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: the game that has kept him in it and kept 251 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: him going, you know, so ridiculously long number four. Pakiol 252 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: made the improbable, the impossible, the the you know, the 253 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: odds makers telling him no. He made it look easy 254 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: at times. And he did it by daring to be great, 255 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: by taking on challenges that we didn't think he should. 256 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: But you know, moving up to welterweight to face Oscar 257 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: dale Hoy in two thousand and eight, that type of stuff. 258 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: But he just consistently did that. Now, how was he 259 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: able to pull that off? Because he had an absurd 260 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: motor and passion and hunger and drive. Like I just 261 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: talked about that fighting hunger. But when you really look 262 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: at it and you talk about there'll never be another 263 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: many PACKI and I broke down before about the eight 264 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: division champion. You're just never going to see that again, Okay. 265 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: You're not gonna see somebody turn prout one hundred and 266 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: six pounds and win a world title at one hundred 267 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: fifty four pounds. You know, maybe you'll see somebody fluctuate 268 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: weight that wildly a few times here and there, but 269 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: have that same level of success. No. So you know 270 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: when Pakia was fighting that Hall of Fame trio there, 271 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: the Jan Menuel Marcuz, the Marco Antonio Berrera, the Eric 272 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: Morales and just making great fights at one twenty two, 273 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: one twenty six, and you know, he's suddenly became a 274 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: pay per view brand off of that, and he's just 275 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: like future star. Nobody, nobody in two thousand and four 276 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: or five, nobody would have believed that could he go 277 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: up to lightweight. Even everybody who up to one thirty 278 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: five to face David Diaz, It's like, I don't know 279 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: if we can handle that power. I mean, he went 280 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: all the way up. You know, he smashed Ricky hat 281 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: and at one forty he stopped De la Hoya Manhattan 282 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: at welterweight. You know, he took a title at a 283 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: catchweight from Margarito at one hundred and fifty four pounds. 284 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: He did it in a way that yeah, yeah, he 285 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: had to take punishment. People will talk about this enough. 286 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: Go go rewatch the Miguel Cota foot twelveth round ty 287 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: Ko for me. The first four rounds were the the 288 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: haggler hearns of Walter. Wait and you're like, we see 289 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: whit whoa whoa whoa hagler hearns, seriously, go back and 290 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: rewatched the first four rounds of Pacchiokoto. Paccio had to 291 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: walk through the wood chipper. Okay, he walk through hell 292 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: to overcome what codo over coda stubbornness and take control 293 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: of that fight. And rounds five through twelve where one sided, 294 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: Pacio just picked him apart, warm down, dominated stopped him 295 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: one through four. So the reason why when Pacio after 296 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: the fight, remember we always do those those live karaoke 297 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: parties at the hotel, and he'd saying, and he put 298 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: on a concert, you know, like Peo was the only 299 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: one that didn't realize he couldn't sing like it's hilarious 300 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: to this day. But he had a giant bandage over 301 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: his ear. Dude, he went through hell. His ear drum 302 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: was ringing. I think he had surgery on me. He 303 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: got beat up, he says. The Antonio Margarito fight, the 304 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: one sided junior middleweight title fight from twenty eleven, in 305 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: which he destroyed Margarito's eye right, just twelve rounds hitting 306 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: him in the same spot with those rocket left hands. 307 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: Paccio quietly in interviews will tell you he took more 308 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: punishment in that fight against a giant man than in 309 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: any other, but you didn't notice it. Part of him 310 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: moving up in wait with such ease and doing the 311 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: impossible was he took on damage and accrued it and 312 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: endured it and didn't show the you know, I mean, 313 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: when have you seen him dropped? You know, offhand, I'm like, okay, 314 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: it was definitely dropped in the fourth fight with Marquez twice, 315 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: including the knockout, and that's why that fight is so 316 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: batshit awesome. And he also dropped Marquez, and it's the 317 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: great war between two old legends. I know he was 318 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: stopped twice in the Philippines or in Asia before he 319 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: made the move officially in two thousand and one to 320 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: the US. But you don't see this guy get knocked down, 321 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: even when he's like substantially the smaller fighter. So the 322 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: ease in which he moved up and wait and did 323 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: these impossible things again, it's not like I'm naive to 324 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: the potential performance enhancing drug crossover of every athlete during 325 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: this run, believe me, okay. But even within the grounds 326 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: of where he opted in this sport and against his contemporaries, 327 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: he was like a superhero. There's nobody I mean, think 328 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: when he beat Codo in twenty eleven, he was getting 329 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: Henry Armstrong comparisons, like people don't understand how boxing works. 330 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: Boxing you age in reverse. Boxing is the only sport 331 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: where the guys way back then are way better than 332 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: the guys today for the most part, except for like 333 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: the the athlete in size issue where like you know, 334 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: now you've got a six foot nine tice and Fury 335 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: with long and quick hands and quick feet. I'm that 336 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: guy's fighting in any era and he's going to be 337 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: a factor, believe it, okay. But the difference is because 338 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: there's no gyms on every boxing corner. Because boxing is 339 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: not a top three sport, a sport of kings like 340 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: it was in the forties and fifties and sixties. And 341 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: if he grew up watching Ali and that carried through 342 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: to the eighties and a little bit of the nineties 343 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: where you know, you grew up wanting to be a boxer. 344 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: Now it's still a sport that's looked at as a 345 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: way out in you know, in urban and hardship communities 346 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: ages in reverse. When Henry Armstrong was fighting, there were 347 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: eight ways classes. He was the undisputed champion simultaneously at 348 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: three of them. When Pacquiao moved up to welterweight and 349 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: beat those guys, people are like, this is like, this 350 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: is some Henry Armstrong bullshit. You don't see those comparisons today. 351 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: You don't see as great as Mayweather is right, and 352 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna go down in the top ten or fifteen 353 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: or twenty depending on where you stand. All the time. 354 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: You don't see people going I know, I know it's 355 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: a cultural thing to say. Maybe without really thinking about it. 356 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: You hear a lot of parathlete say, well, Floyd Mayweather 357 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: was the best of all time. Well, you know, he 358 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: had the marketing of the best ever and he would 359 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: say he was the best. But people that really know 360 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: say he's one of the best all the time. He's 361 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: not in the sugar rate Robinson. You don't see Floyd 362 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: maybe are getting compared to sugar Ray Robinson. You saw 363 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: Manny Pakyell getting compared to Henry Armstrong. I mean that's wild. 364 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: That's because He just did impossible things and made it 365 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: look easy. And the Pacquia that we know now, we're 366 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: so used to seeing him around on pay per view. Whatever, 367 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: if you didn't live it, you forgot what it was like. 368 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: When he was gonna fight De la Hoya, he was 369 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: gonna get knocked out. I know that Hilly was thirty six, 370 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: but he was like three way classes bigger. I thought 371 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: Miguel Koto was gonna body him. I thought even Ricky 372 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: Hatton might pop him. Each step of that ladder, there 373 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: was a giddiness after each I specifically remember when he 374 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: knocked out Miguel Koto and Larry Merchant looked at the 375 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: microphone on HBO and said, we knew Matty Pacio was great. 376 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: He's better than we thought. It was like, I don't 377 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: know what the limit is on what this man can do, 378 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: and that's freaking scary. And that's the reason why the 379 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: drum beat started for him to fight Floyd Mayweather, and 380 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: why in hindsight, if we only could have seen that 381 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: fight in twenty eleven or twenty twelve, before you know 382 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: Pacquiao had the back to back defeats, could have been 383 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: it could have been something. It could have been something 384 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: so got it. There's still number one or two pound 385 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: for pound, the testament to Pacchio's ability to read, you know, 386 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: reimagine himself. But uh wow, that's how special that run was. 387 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: Number three. I don't think there's ever been a better 388 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: loser than Manny Pacia. And while that looks like an 389 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: insult in a jab, it's anything, but it's a twofold 390 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: way to look at it. One. He had the Grayson 391 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: humility under fire, especially in times in which like the 392 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: Timothy Bradley fight, the first one from twenty twelve, he 393 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 1: got round, he got out. Brian Kenny is the only 394 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: guy who thinks that Tim Bradley won that. Okay, I 395 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: wonder at night if Tim Bradley sits down he won't 396 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: say a public if I wonder every night if he goes, yeah, 397 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: we got one over on him. Upon rewatching that really closely, 398 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: you know you can get four. I don't want to 399 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: say five. You get four rounds to Tim Bradley. He 400 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean he despite having legitimate injuries, he just kept 401 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: coming and Pacia was slowing down. That was that first 402 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: period where Pacquiao You're like, oh, you know, Pacio is 403 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: still great, but I don't know if he could fight 404 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: three minutes every round at that same hallacious pace that 405 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: he was doing against dal La Joya Hat and Codo, 406 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: or against Morales and Brera before that, Like let's not 407 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: forget may Paco would throw like eight or nine punch combinations, 408 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: take a step out, and dart right back in. He 409 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: was slowing down just a bit. Yet, even in that fight, 410 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: which is considered the biggest robbery of the modern era 411 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: in terms of like a pay per view event, and 412 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: the Jeff Horn fight, which I know I'm a truther 413 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: in saying that the fight might have been a draw 414 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: or even you know, more or less, a lot of 415 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: people also saw Packy as being robbed. There never complained, 416 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: he never cried foul. He gave respect to the judges, 417 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: to his opponent. And you can say, okay, b see, 418 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: that's cool. He's you know, he's a sportsman. Well who cares. 419 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: We're in the Con McGregor Floyd trash talk era. We are. 420 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: But you know, that builds up not just goodwill or 421 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: a good representation of the sport. And but that's like 422 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: it helps you bounce back. You realized, many realized he 423 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: could only control what goes on in the twelve rounds. 424 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: You can't knock out a guy, and that was his goal. 425 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: He can just do the best he can, and that's 426 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: what it is, and I think that's a healthy way 427 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: of looking at it. His grace under those levels of 428 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: fire was extraordinary, just like it was after he lost 429 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: to Ucas he said, you know, I thought I might 430 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: have done enough, but the better man one could graduate 431 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: to him. The only time I'd issue, to be honest 432 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: with Manny in this category was after he lost to Floyd, 433 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: when he had seen which everyone thought was a clear 434 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: eight rounds to four, which he said, I thought I won. 435 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at him for thinking that he won, 436 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: but I thought it was clear shoulder injury or not, 437 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: that Pacio didn't go for it, and the biggest fight 438 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: of his career because he had some fears that Flood 439 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: was going to catch him. Maybe it's lingering from the 440 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: Marcus fight. So I'm not holding this loss against him, 441 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: but I didn't love his reaction. To be fair, I didn't, 442 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: especially my shoulder was the problem. Let's do a rematch. 443 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: That was a little that was all transparent. Aside from that, though, 444 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: that is one half of the being a good loser equation. 445 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: The other half is we've seen him stop three times 446 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: and we haven't and has missed a beat. So two 447 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: of these are early in his career. I mentioned when 448 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: he's fighting for world titles in Asia. One of those 449 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: times he was clearly weight drained and he got stopped 450 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: because of that. Another time I think he just got 451 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: knocked out. You know, he bounced back from that and 452 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: became a world champion, and then obviously that led to 453 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: that the American invasion. We didn't know who Manny Pacio 454 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: was until two thousand and one, and he had just 455 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: recently come to the States. He walked into Freddy Roach's 456 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: gym on the streets of La at Wildcard and he 457 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: suddenly got this new trainer and he fills in on 458 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: HBO last minute to face Lilo led Waba, who just 459 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: recently passed away Rip for a one hundred and twenty 460 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: two pound title the IBF, and Pacchia just blows him 461 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: the frick away, and it's like from there on, he's 462 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: this attraction on HBO that led into the Barrera fight, 463 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: which was his first breakthrough. When and the trilogy with 464 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: Morales and you know, beginning the four fight run with Marquez, 465 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: which is the greatest rivalry that boxing has seen in 466 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: the past twenty thirty years. That's all great, but when 467 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: he got knocked out by Marquez in twenty twelve and 468 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: was faced down on the canvas for fifty five full seconds, 469 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: in which everyone from me at home going like this, 470 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: to Bob Aaron, his promoter, to his wife Jink, I 471 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: mean they thought he would they you know, I've talked 472 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: to people that were there after the yead. We thought 473 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: he was dead and you know, they got the smelling 474 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: salt and he woke back up and we thought, okay, 475 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: thank god he's alive, because that was one of the 476 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: most vicious shots, the worst timing ever. You know, we 477 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: saw it Pacio ducking at the worst time. They're both 478 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: just kind of brawling because it turned into this incredible 479 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: sort of you know, anger fueled spite fest fight and 480 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: Pachyo gets just knocked out, and you know, was Marquez 481 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: on the stuff? I don't know, you told me, man, 482 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: he knocked his lights out cold, and you thought, Okay, 483 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad he's okay, but he'll never be the same. 484 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: At worst, to be you know, best, he'll be gun shy. 485 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: At worst, he'll be gotta be washed from that. And 486 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: you take into account forget the three knockout losses. I 487 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: told you about the Codo and Margarito fights. He had 488 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: to walk through hell and winning one sided fights, but 489 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: he had to take on damage. He has been in wars. 490 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: That Jeff hornfight was a war, the Keith Thurmon fight 491 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: where there was a lot of you know, great exchanges 492 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: later in his career, but forget all of those fights 493 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: from two thousand to twenty ten before or to two 494 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: thousand and eight before he moved up to well to it. 495 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: All those fights at twenty one, six thirty, they're wars, 496 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: and I don't know how it didn't affect him. So 497 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: you want to talk about who's a great loser, you 498 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: could be a sportsman man. He was in defeat, but 499 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: he's the best loser ever because he bounced back from 500 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: that. That that Ko lost. That usually Ko's careers, and it 501 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: didn't seem changed by it, except for a couple of 502 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: fights in the beginning. He was a little too, a 503 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: little cautious in boxing heavy. But you know, he got 504 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: back into the into the Mayweather fight, which we thought 505 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: was done by that point. And he was the number 506 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: two pound for pound rank guy and a defending walterweight champion. 507 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: And then of course he has that third period of 508 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: his career, that twilight where it's like, how is he 509 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: doing it at this age? Should he be punch drunk? 510 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: Shouldn't he be slow? No, he's none of those. This 511 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: is a this is an alien okay. And the fact 512 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: that he rebounded from loss is so easily and was 513 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: like almost like, oh big deal. This is like he 514 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: treated boxing like you know what, he loves basketball. We 515 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: all know he loves basketball. He owns a team in 516 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: the Filipino League. He made himself a player coach at 517 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: one point or whatever, which was a big publicity stunt. 518 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: He plays basketball like every single day. He also trains 519 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: boxing every single day because he loves it. But he 520 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: looks at it under that regard like, oh, your neighbor, Joe. 521 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: He's a plumber guy, runs road races all the time. 522 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: It's his passion in life. He's going to be out 523 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: there in any weather running because he loves it. Pacquiao 524 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: treated professional boxing like that like oh, man, I lost, okay, Cool, 525 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: I got a game next week, right, you know, we 526 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: got another one, right? We'll be back. You don't see that. 527 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: You don't see that. Number two. What made Pacyao different? 528 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: His longevity is absurd. Okay, twenty six years. Okay, he 529 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: turned pro at sixteen, like a lot of Mexican fighters 530 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: who for go an amateur career. Canelo avers turned prot 531 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: like fifteen, right, he had like he had as many 532 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: fights as Floyd did when they fought, and Floyd was 533 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: thirty six and Canelo was twenty three. Right, So he's 534 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: got seventy two pro fights, and yet two years ago, 535 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: twenty four years into his twenty six year career, he 536 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: goes out and at age forty, nearly becomes the fighter 537 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: of the Year again, reclaims a welterweight title, puts himself 538 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: back in the top ten pounds for pound, knocks out Matisse, 539 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: gets a decision, went on pay per view against Adrian 540 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: Broner and edges Keith Thurman in like an instant classic 541 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: of a great championship at welterweight championship bout in which 542 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: he knocks unbeaten champion Thurman down and sort of out 543 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: punches him more than the twelve year window at age forty. 544 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: His longevity is absurd and it's not the years or 545 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: the amount of fights as much. It just as it 546 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: is the combination of damage mixed with the fact that 547 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: he never lost his speed in explosiveness. When you're the 548 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: smaller man fighting in a larger division and your speed 549 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: starts to go, as it does to everyone, you're done. 550 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: Like we think of Pakia as a puncher because he's 551 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, he one punched Ricky hat and he you know, 552 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: he's got spectacular knockdowns of Miguel Coto. But as we 553 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: all know, he had that long almost eight year stretch 554 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: without a knockout at Walter Wait until he finally stopped 555 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: washing Matissa, where we're like, you know, one forty seven 556 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: is too high. He's not a puncher in this weight class. 557 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: So he's not really the knockout puncher at the higher 558 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: weights that we think he is. It's just that he's 559 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: so fast that if you're you know, if you're a 560 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: Ricky had in your bit chinning, you can you can 561 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: catch you with one shot, You're gone. Or sometimes it's 562 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: the accumulation of punches over so many rounds, like against 563 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: de la Hoyo. Ordale H is all right, I can't 564 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: do this. I'm done, not for somebody's not a knockout 565 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: puncher for the most part, and you're relying on footworks 566 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: in speed. In many Paco's boxing IQ is very underrated 567 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: him and Freddi Roach. I mean, if you look at 568 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: the early days, look at Pacio's breakthrough fight, the first 569 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: win over Marco Antonio Berrera in San Antonio two thousand 570 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: and two ish maybe two thousand and three, he's just 571 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: like fake jab it, you know, meaningless jab, meaningless jab 572 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: left cross and that's all at was for early Manny. 573 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: But yet people couldn't keep up with that because the 574 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: speed and the ferocity was insane. I know, it became 575 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: a big joke heading into I believe it was the 576 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: second Marquez fight where he developed Manila ice, which is 577 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: a fun way of saying many Pacio developed a right hook. 578 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: He didn't use his right hand for anything. It was 579 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: just all left cross. And then Freddie Roach and then 580 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: they helped him develop this right hook once he became 581 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: a two fisted puncher, and they were I mean, look 582 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: at the knockdown of Marquees in their second fight, which 583 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: I think is the best. Uh, it's not the best 584 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: of the four because the fourth one is just cinema. 585 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: But the second one is when they were both at 586 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: their absolute apex. The knockdown that Pacio has early of 587 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: Marcus is the craziest, sneaky, cross angled punch that just 588 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: fits in this tiny strike zone on Marquez's chin and 589 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: just shows you who many became so okay, having that 590 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: insane IQ is great, But he's forty and even forty 591 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: two years old against ugas this year, and he's relying 592 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: on speed that stupid longevity. You don't see that because 593 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to see that. Even if somebody did, 594 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: and we don't know take things when like everyone took 595 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: things in baseball in the late nineties early two thousands, 596 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: Yet Barry Bonds took things and did things that were 597 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: like what seventy three home runs, you know, like one 598 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: hundred and something intentional walks, hitting three seventy with like 599 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: a ridiculous on base percentage. It's like he was so 600 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: great that taken the stuff, put in that like a 601 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: next astrologic next level. Even if you're telling me that 602 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: that's the case in the situation, it's still insane. You're 603 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: not gonna touch. Find me another guy who's gonna fight 604 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: for twenty six straight years without too long of a break, 605 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: especially in his prime. And he's not gonna get injured, 606 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna recover from knockouts, is gonna win titles in 607 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: so many different weight classes and be the same style 608 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: and same fighter and carry his speed and power up 609 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: with him for the most part, except for carrying the 610 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: power to well to it, You're not gonna find it. 611 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: But number one, why will there never be a manupac yo? 612 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: Why is this man so unique above all that and 613 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: the humanitarian work and the celebrity. Here's the coolest stat. 614 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: It's not a stat, it's basically a realization. He's not 615 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: just He didn't just have a Hall of Fame career. 616 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: He had three Hall of Fame careers in one that 617 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: are kind of separate from each other. It's like when 618 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: we look at Muhammad Ali, because he had the break 619 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: in his prime of three plus years when he was, 620 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, sitting out to protest the war in Vietnam. 621 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: We look at that as prime Muhammad Ali, the guy 622 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: that beat Sunny Listed twice in Floyd Patterson twice and 623 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, against Cleveland Williams in nineteen sixty five or whatever. 624 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: You'll know that's the peak. You'll never see a better Ali. 625 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: And then it was older, slowed down, compromised Ali who 626 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: had a level of chin and heart and just determination 627 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: that willed him to the victories and the rumble in 628 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: the jungle and the thrill in Manila. That's still two 629 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: chapters of the same man, right, It's kind of like 630 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: George Foreman having two chapters because he had that long 631 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: break in the middle. It's rare when you get at 632 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: somebody who has distinctly different careers some you know, it's 633 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: rare that somebody will change their style or will move 634 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: up and wait so dramatically that like, oh wow, they 635 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: was he was a puncher at this way class, but 636 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: he's a boxer at that. No, you don't have that. 637 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Peck has got three freaking eras if you would have 638 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: retired somehow in his late twenties, after fighting Marquez, Morales 639 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: and Barrera a combination of eight times, including victories over 640 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: some very good names around that. You know, the Oscar 641 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: Larios is the you know, foody false to fight Emmanuel Lucero. 642 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: He fought Lelo l Waba. As I talked about Agapito Sanchez. 643 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he fought names that are known hector of Alasquez. Yes, 644 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: it's a hall of fame run right there. Okay, you 645 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: retire as a basically a you know, he had already 646 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: won world titles at like one oh eight in one twelve, 647 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: and then he moves up to one twenty two, one 648 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: twenty six, all of him career right there, Okay, but no, 649 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: he does what we talked about before, moves up to 650 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: one forty and welterweight, beats De la Joya Hatton and 651 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: Cooto beats Claudie, wins the title in another way class 652 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: against Margarito. So suddenly Manny's like thirty two thirty three 653 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, and he's boxing's only eight division champion. 654 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: And that second period of his career, which includes that 655 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: the the second and third UH Marquez fights, which he 656 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: won both them, even though they were both controversial, that 657 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: middle period is where he was the most famous, where 658 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: he was the most explosive, where it was just like, 659 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he can do this, but I'm gonna 660 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: watch it, and he probably will. And that period kind 661 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: of ran through the knockout loss to Marquez and maybe, 662 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe it ends right there. But that 663 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: third trimester of Manny's career, whether you consider only the 664 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: third part being after the Floyd Mayweather fight or what 665 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: led up to it. Right, the second went over the 666 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: second fight against Timothy Bradley, in which he won, which 667 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: was a great performance, and in the comeback he made 668 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, beating being Brandon Rios, being Chris al Jerry 669 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: to set up the Mayweather fight. Okay, loses the Mayweather fight. 670 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: We thought he would fade away that twilight run to 671 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: have wins over Tim Bradley in their trilogy. Jesse Vargas 672 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: a clear, you know, clear pay per view win, stops Matissea, 673 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: Adrian Broner, Keithurman, Like, that's kind of you know, you 674 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: package that together. Who has a better welterweight run during 675 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: that stretch maybe with the exception of Aerol Spence Junior insane. 676 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: There'll never be another one Banny Patio one of one. 677 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: But I think he'll fight again. Yeah I do, I do, 678 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: But for now I've phaged forty two. We bid you 679 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: a dude, Manny, thank you for everything, for for being 680 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: you know this this spark a time I said it 681 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: in print boxing hasn't been easy to follow.
