In an interview with Boxing News, former Gennady Golovkin trainer Sanchez gave an honest assessment of Pacquiao’s shock return to the ring, claiming that although he is slightly concerned for the 46-year-old, he believes that he has a chance to defy the odds and defeat Barrios next month.Read in full https://www.secondsout.com/news/goloovkin-trainer-on-pacquiao-vs-barrios/
I guess we can’t really doubt him, especially since it’s coming from a trainer’s assessment, they definitely know better than most of us.
I’d love to see Pacman win, but I’m not as optimistic as I used to be. It’s hard to deny that his dominance in the ring has ended, and coming back at this age is something else. Still, it shows just how disciplined he is as a boxer to stay fit and confident enough to fight a young champion. That alone already makes him a winner in my eyes, and it’s no wonder he’s won the hearts of so many fans.
The fans still can doubt Pacman because of his age, however, the statement of GGG's trainer has certainly removed some of those doubts. But is this an assurance that Pacman will win? No, I reckon. This is certainly not an endorsement for his victory and this is also not a declaration to bet on him hehehehehe. This is where we lose our money when we listen to these experts. They might be experts, however, they cannot predict the future with certainty.
Maybe it has removed some doubts, but still though, many could be questioning Manny's comeback. It is for the money or for the glory? No one can tell that for now. Except for die hard fans who might says that Manny is really relieving everything and this fight is for his fans.
But as you have said, it's true that there are no experts, it's just their own opinion because once the bell rings, it will still be this two inside the ring. No experts can help them inside. Manny though still has something in him? Then we will see even at this age.
I have seen different people have different speculations on why Pacman has decided to fight again. Many fans have declared that this is because he has never removed himself from training and has always done not very heavy training to maintain his body while he was a politician.
Other people speculate that he is doing this to collect back the money he has spent on his political campaign his country where he has lost. Also, other speculations include that he has much debt because of his lifestyle and this includes the families and friends that he supports financially.
