Pierce turned pro in the summer of 2016. Right from the start he started to show his attitude and desire to test himself against the best facing 5 fighters without a loss in his first 10 bouts.
And yes, I know what happened to a special fighter named Ali, and I understand that many of the greats have stayed too long in this unforgiving business.
Manny Pacquiao has been one of my very favorite fighters of the modern era and if last night turns out to be his final bout, I simply and humbly say, thank you.
Manny Pacquiao will be 43 in four months. He hasn’t boxed in two years. He’ll be seeking another world title in a fourth decade when he faces Yordenis Ugas this Saturday in Las Vegas.
