    sum up to me why you think your fighter (manny of floyd) is the best fighter of this era...

    on one hand, we have manny who's moved up from 106, all the way up to 147, has a few losses but never avoided anybody and has more than 1 great fighter on his resume. a not so technically skilled fighter, but a fan friendly man who doesn't know how to say no to a fight, and makes his 1 dimension the most dangerous of todays fighters. he's made millions, but for some reason still wants the most dangerous fights out there while carrying the weight of his country on his shoulders.

    on the other hand, we have the flashy pretty boy floyd mayweather. coming up he faced a lot of good fighters, beat them all with ease and would talk with passion about how one day he wanted to be a mega star. his competition at 130-135 was great, and with only one little blemish on his record (first castillo fight), he then decided to move up to the shark infested waters of 140 and above. once there, his mouth became his worst enemy, but finally, it also became his ticket to stardome. aside from hatton and oscar, he had pretty limited competition and blew through them like he should've. now retired with talks of coming back for the 3rd time, the boxing world is sitting with ears wide open ready to here his next move.


    anyways though, i wanna hear from their most passionate fans why their fighter is better.
    the race between manny and floyd is only gonna get better, and i can't wait to see who gets crowned the best fighter of this era :good

    Freddy, i'm not a big fan of Floyd...yes he possesses mind boggling abilities and is probably the most technically gifted boxer we've seen in a while but the way i see it - he retired leaving many fans in question when the WW division was filled with not only quality fighters, but a big payday for him (he loves money)...he should've fought someone else after Hatton, either Cotto or Mosley and not JMM if these rumors are soon to be a reality. the other thing i despise about Floyd is his mouth, i hate **** talkers...i mean, for him to say he's better than SRL? SRL would make FLoyd his ***** in the ring. nonetheless, Floyd is an awesome fighter and we were glad to see him work his magic in the ring.

    Pacman on the other hand is not as gifted as Floyd but he comes from a poor background, started fighting at 106 and has been involved in some bloody wars and while losing some he never complains or talks **** or runs from any opposition...that lil 106 Filipino is fkn fearless and its fighters like him who i look up to...he's a humble guy who's done marvelous in representing not only boxing, but his country as well...

    props to both fighters though...

    You comment on PBF's competition above 140 negatively but don't say anything about Pacman's competition above 130. Play fair, especially considering that PBF beat a much liver version of DLH catering to every single one of his demands, while Pacman got to make all the demands in his go round, including a 3 million dollar fine for every pound that DLH was overweight.

    iv always thought pbf would have trouble with manny, he has fast hands and a great workrate.

    if hatton is able to land on floyd, you better believe manny will.

    On a side note, let's put things into perspective about Floyd.

    When he was fighting Oscar, they had a medical helicopter flying around on standby and an entire medical staff ringside because Oscar looked so exhausted that they thought his heart might explode, yet despite Roger Mayweather's repeated calls for Floyd to let his hands go, Floyd was reluctant, possibly ascared of getting hit.

    Then later some tiny man from some distant island beat the living **** out of Oscar from pillar to post the second the bell rang. Does anybody know who that guy is?

    Good analysis. Id agree they are even in resume but Pac is much more likable and exciting to watch.
