    That's one of my favorite Ariza quotes.

    It's up there with (not going to be word for word, but close) "I'd love to be able to get Manny on steroids. Ya know, have him juiced out of his mind." (this was sometime in the buildup to the Margarito fight if memory serves; this is on video on youtube)

    Butthurt is clouding your reason. One day you'll chill and understand why Mayweather is greater.

    I used to think Floyd would win a H2H meeting. But changed my mind after all his excuses and roadblocks. Manny probably has better power, speed and work rate, and is unorthodox enough to give Floyd problems.

    As far as legacy goes, probably Floyd edges this one, but his legacy will not be as bright as if he had stepped up to the challenge and taken this fight. It will always be the asterisk when discussing his legacy.

    As there will be an asterisk for Manny. He is, after all, the one who walked away from the fight.

    Funny how this goes unmentioned and it wasnt until Manny lost to Marquez that he accepted any terms.

    Unmentioned where? If you wanted to print out all the ESB threads on this very topic, you'd probably have to cut down a small forest.

    I'm not interested in spending 20 pages on it, Turbo. Let's move on.

    So why argue it if you don't want to get a counter? I agree to let sleeping dogs lie.

    LOL. He just wants to pretend. How dare you let facts get in the way of a good rant?

    Pacquiao has the much greater legacy.

    In pacs defence Marquez looked like an absolute monster and just seemed to have developed heavy ass hands. I remember, as a pac fan, getting concerned when I saw that tank hitting a heavy bag before the match.

    Maybe after the fight was signed when he was traininh cuz Marquez looked like he was slipping in his fights before that.
