00:00let's talk about uh pacquiao for a second i have to tell you i wonder about him uh you must be
00:07crazy to think that i've never seen it i to be honest like you cannot in my view walk away from
00:15boxing for four or five years and then come back and fight now fair enough you can actually do that
00:22but you must be nuts if you pick a guy like barrios to fight against in your first fight
00:28in four years i mean this guy is flat out bigger and better and younger and more dangerous this is
00:36the wrong guy for him to be fighting am i am i crazy to say that well no you're not crazy and is pacquiao
00:44crazy to to think that he can he can pull this off um he's crazy like a fox because they're coming back
00:49for a reason and you know barrios he's all the things you said he's younger he's bigger he's fresher he's
00:55been more active he's a world champion he's 30 years old all of that he's the tallest guy manny's
00:59ever fought but there are certain characteristics in in in barrios's style where the many win or the
01:06many upset because i'm sure the line is going to lean towards barrios is not a crazy thing to think
01:12about the kid gets hit he will engage and the last thing to go is your punch many pack out can punch
01:19um and manny's out trying to basically outdo himself he set the record for the welterweight
01:25world champion oldest welterweight world champion at 40 years old he's now 46 he's coming back to try
01:31and beat himself and uh he's got a guy in front of him who is going to be super tough and and he's
01:36going to be the best version of himself but listen manny saw something when he watched this kid fight
01:40um and he's back for a reason and i believe the people around him care enough about manny that they
01:45probably see it too so it's not completely out of the question mostly because it's manny pacquiao
01:51so i saw i think i i was at the davis beat barrios i think i was at that fight and i think barrios lost
02:00to one time thurman at one point or another uh but you know he doesn't lose he lost to and listen i i
02:09don't put keith in the same realm as gervonta i think gervonta is a dangerous fighter i think keith
02:16has had his moments i think he's probably barrios surprised he lost to thurman to be honest with you
02:22and not surprised that he lost to davis but i don't see him losing to this guy i'm sorry he's been
02:28what in the philippines he's like a he's like a politician everything else even lives he's not
02:35fighting i mean i fought more with my wife than that guy has fought in the last five years
02:41listen manny pacquiao has he's the kind of guy he's uh he likes to push the limit yeah he loves
02:49to make doubters um eat their words and that's that's i've listened i've been around him obviously
02:54when i fought him the fight weeks leading up to it fighting him and then since then i've been a
02:58commentator i've commentated his fights um i've interviewed him i'm gonna be spending a bunch
03:01of time with him this week getting ready for this this fight week um but listen he likes doing this
03:06kind of stuff he likes pushing the limit and listen physically he's super gifted he's one of the best
03:11fighters of our generation um barrios is funny i just spoke with his trainer a couple hours ago
03:17and we were speaking about those two fights we're talking about the tank davis fight we're talking
03:20about the keith thurman fight um right and you know there's some caveats about those fights you
03:25know the the uh the javanta davis tank davis fight it was at 140 pounds and there were some
03:31weight stipulations and and barrios really tall guys like six feet tall fighting at 140 is really
03:36tough for him um still box pretty well in that fight ended up getting stopped and then keith
03:41thurman his coach was like that was his first fight at 47 his coach like he was just better than
03:44us that night um but if we do the boxing math right so manny pacquiao beat keith thurman
03:51keith thurman beat mario barrios so that's kind of easy to be like oh well okay so then
03:56manny pacquiao should beat barrios right well no because your dennis ugas beat manny pacquiao
04:04mario barrios beat your dennis ugas so boxing man doesn't work the way we always kind of think of
04:09it it's not linear in that way um so as as as much as manny has been the old guy out of the ring
04:16former senator um he's still manny pacquiao this is still a fight
04:19manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao beat manny pacquiao
