LAS VEGAS — It’s over for Manny Pacquiao.
Oh, there are plenty of guys he can still beat if he chooses to fight again.
But what made Pacquiao one of the greats, one of the most breathtaking fighters of this or any generation, was his eagerness to accept every challenge, to move up seemingly indiscriminately in weight to face the biggest, baddest guys who put their name on a contract to face him.
Pacquiao was never accused of ducking an elite fighter or passing on a challenge.
He was supposed to fight the great Errol Spence Jr.
