    people were split down the middle because according to some, half of the board are *****s, and the other half are *******s.

    funny thing is, people that are objective will be called *******s or *****s as the haters see fit lol

    any version of floyd beats any version of pac

    I cant buy into that when this fight had the chance to take place but didn't
    pac was on fire 4 years ago, so was Floyd. 2 best fighters of this era fighting in and around the same weight division at the time

    there's always the proverbial "puncher's chance" but outside of that, I don't give a Pac a chance of winning.

    Pac was so on fire JMM still brought him to hell and back. I was in the Philippines for JMM 2. I remember my schoolmates and cousins talking about "Pac is so much more improved now, he's gonna KO JMM". I'm like "you'll see, Pac isn't THAT much improved where he's gonna steamroll right through JMM". ANd sure enough, it was a fight I had JMM winning. My cousin was deflated too. We cheered loud as **** when he was announced the winner though haha.

    JMM 3 was a robbery IMO.

    A short fighter like Manny that falls-in with his hands down would be a sitting duck for Mayweather.:deal

    nonetheless, its no surprise that the only fight Floyd chose not to make weight for was the marquez fight
    I would pick Floyd, and I have always said that, but saying pac had no chance just isn't constructive

    Yup. Floyd avoided him, he knows Pacquiao has the tool to beat him. Floyd's fans does not understand what Floyd knows(Pacquiao will beat him), that is why he avoided him.

    are you implying if Floyd was 144 at weigh in, JMm would have had a shot?
    My point is not be constructive. I honestly felt outside of a puncher's chance, Pac had no other outlet for a win.
    everyone raved about his volume punching and angles and footwork...FLoyd can neutralize those angles, bring Pac's volume WAAAAAY down and FLoyd's footwork doesn't only encompass 'in and out' movement.

    and I agree with you
    I just think its dismissive, now that the fight wasn't made and he's suffered that KO to marquez, to dismiss pacquiao like that

    Nah, you know the truth man. You are just in denial. Floyd does not like to fight Pacquiao.

    Forgetting Pac is a south paw so shoulder roll isn't as effective. Floyd knew something *****s didn't know and didn't want to fight in 09-10 when Pac was in his prime.
