    So me saying that Mayweather is a clearly better WW than JMM enrages Mexicans enough to want to see Floyd prove me right? Alrighty then...

    "what ever JMM can do, Floyd can do better"


    Tell me.... what part of that do you fail to see that wouldnt upset a Mexican?


    And btw what you just posted is utter bull****

    You're just avoiding what i pulled you up on in the first place

    I have no problem with you saying Floyd is a better WW

    I sure got a problem with this bull**** though

    "what ever JMM can do, Floyd can do better"


    Apologise

    Sorry, you and all other Mexicans who takes this more personally than I do a discussion about Johansson will have to accept that this is my opinion. And actually probably the opinion of most.

    What I can say is that Floyd doesn't throw better combos than Marquez. In that aspect JMM actually has the advantage over the Floyd of today.

    But in terms of size, speed, reflexes and power Floyd has the advantage over JMM at WW, while at the very least being his equal in ring generalship, timing and precision. That's why I think he'll do even better against Pac than Marquez has.

    If that insults you (which would weird since it's not directed at you), there's not much I can do about it.

    I guess my heart says Pacquiao, but my head says Mayweather.

    Even so, great fighters sometimes pull off one last great fight, if they are motivated enough.

    :lol: hes a feather fisted ***** whos sole KO in the past decade was a cheap shot, vs a guy whos KOd 40 of his 56 victims - one of whom he very nearly killed

    If Floyd has more power than Juan then Manny better have made his will already


    Youre absolutely petrified that your boys gonna lose again huh?

    You probably won't understand this, but you can like a fighter without being a die-hard fan or take his successes and failures personally. I'd be very happy if Pac managed to win, but I don't expect him to and I won't be upset by him losing.

    Very few, but not none.

    Duran was knocked out cold by Thomas Hearns.


    And some years later, he won the world MW title by defeating Hearns' conqueror.

    Manny has declined much faster than Floyd, if Manny some how can bring the old Manny he wins this, other wise Floyd will box his way to win.

    I think Mayweather...always have. Too much skill. If Manny can force Floyd into the ropes and pound him, that would be something. But Manny is a bit too small to successfully do that. It will be a great bout for sure, but Floyd edges it on points.

    Is it just me that's struggling to keep a straight face to these national anthems :lol:

    Also Jamie foxx singing the national anthem seems slightly ironic after his role in django

    outside of the hype, why is this such a big fight? are people that starved for action? Its not likely to be another Pryor Arguello

    This was not a masterclass was it? Floyd neutralizing from a safety first, arms length position. Each time Pac got got set Floyd trod on his toe or poked him off ballence. They could hardly reach each other. Floyd just reached Pac more times. Pac could not engage Floyd into an exchange so Floyd edged 80% of the rounds safety first.

    a lot of close rounds that Floyd edged, Manny tried to force the fight....Floyd fought smart but safety first but not a fight plan that would have worked vs SRL, Duran or Hearns
