    I follow boxing for boxing, so I'm going with Floyd who is the more skilled fighter.

    dirty fighting is apart of the sport. Floyd has the character for this, but emmanuel is lacking here.

    Hey Ortiz took it there and got what he deserved. You are just a hater, I bet you think it was okay for Ortiz to ram him with his head too.

    Its not about manny NEEDING to sucker punch him cuz Floyd didnt need to do it either...he could have beat the guy up and finished him off in the 7th or 8th rnd and that would have been cool enough for me...but instead he beat the guy up, then some drama takes place...Floyd got so angry that he was pushed to a lvl where he sprout wings, turned into a dragon, and spit fireballs...remember when Marques hit Floyd?..And Floyd got this extra power and knocked him down a second later?...Ortiz made Floyd so Mad that Floyd got smarter AND more powerful...That extra power came from the flames that boiled from within the guy..its like his anger was stirring inside of him...but instead of being blinded by rage and fouling Ortiz, he got SMARTER, and Tricked the guy into a hug like Machiavelli..his eyes got small, and beady, and he hugs the guy, and like a sly devil, he BLASTS the guy...I never saw anything like it in my entire life...Manny is a good little fella in the ring, but that fire that srr had or that Ali had is the one thing he's missing...and Manny NEEDED that fire in the Mosley fight cuz it would have been the most talked about KO in history if HE had done it..but nah...he's soft and nice and stuff and it messes with the way he treats his opponents when he should treat them like prey..This is one thing I like about Floyd..He's an ass...but THAT makes him the type of fighter thats going to put it all on the line in that ring my dawg!

    Do you just start off ranting dude? Hey, you made the bull**** claim of "Old school fighters would do the same" didn't you? If that's true, provide some examples. :deal

    And no *******, I don't think it was OK. In fact, I was pissed at Ortiz for doing such a stupid stunt you ****. :patsch

    You see, I wanted to see a fight. Not a bull**** headbutt, or a suckerpunch win. And from what I saw, it had the looks to be entertaining, and Floyd would likely have stopped him LEGIT, while gaining some fans.

    The Ortiz fight did NOTHING for him at all. It actually just hurt him more then helped.

    They WOULD go straight for hitting their opponent..but that may be cuz their not vulpine enough or SMART enough to trick them...Floyd just has all of that...he IS sneaky enough, he IS smart enough and SHIESTY enough to go for that sort of thing..I like it man!

    As far as boxing is concerned and the fight of Floyd vs. Manny. I pick Floyd to win the fight, I think Pac is just as guilty of the fight not happening as Mayweather and in terms of in ring ability I don't think Pac is even close to Mayweather's league.


    With that being said I admire Manny more because of what he is doing in his country for politics. Manny will probably make a run and if he wins his next office will be in a position to over see many things including the water supply. He loves his country and is willing to work for it and that is something to be admired.

    :roll: For ****'s sake....grow up. All you can do is make lies about me, or make pointless assumptions.

    And tell me, who are all these old school fighters you were talking about?

    Old time figures used to stand over their opponent and punch them as soon as their glove left the canvas. Roberto Duran admitted he used to thumb his opponents in the eye. Plenty of examples of old school fighters using duty tricks to win. Floyd wasn't dirty however the red said box and Floyd put his hands up. He didn't trick Ortiz nothing in floods face or demeanor made it seem he wanted to hug again.

    None of this is news to me. The reason old timers COULD stand over them and punch them when their hands left the canvas is because that was the rule and a part of the game.

    This situation isn't like that, or most. Remember, the REF stopped the fight. Called a time out. Floyd make it appear he was going to tap hand or whatever, and threw a shot when Ortiz was still looking at the ref. When the fight was official 'back on' has been a point of debate.

    Skills - I admire both. Pacquiao for offense and May for defense. For other things to admire, Pacquiao no doubt. Mayweather could have done more, but he chose to be an a$$hole.

    If I was forced to admire either guy, its Floyd. Why? Because he's black.
