Nah, let's pin all of the blame on Floyd Mayweather Jr because he conjured up a bull**** get-out clause to get out of that fight but make it look the other way round, and a sizeable minority of the boxing community bought it. Tragic. He must be pissing himself laughing at the way he can twist boxing fans' minds.
Seeing as your head is fitted perfectly inside Manny's *******, can you give him a message for me? Take that ****in' test you pinoy *******! Just kidding. I see where you're coming from, but Floyd need not be alarmed at the prospect of fighting such a wide-open, easy to hit opponent. It could well be a cake-walk for his money-grubbing ass. Mosley, on the other hand, is no gimme.
BS as if you've seen most of the ring weigh ins, otherwise you'd know he weighed 158-9 at 140lbs - which means making 147 must be a piece of **** atsch Sorry cant talk now, I have to make 147 tomorrow and I weigh 155 right now, Im off to have a big **** off meal as you suggested, thanks for the weight making tip genius :good
Manny will give Floyd a far tougher night than Shane will. Re-watch Mosley vs Cotto. The reasoning is in that fight.

I don't think that was one of Mosley's greatest showings, even if he did make quite a good case for victory. How do you feel a Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao fight would unfold?
Floyd UD12 Shane Pac UD12 Floyd Those two I feel confident on. - Shane doesn't have the footspeed or the head movement to avoid Floyd running and flicking out punches and coasting to a decision. - Floyd's own mentality will beat him against Pac. He will be so determined not to get visibly hurt, dropped or stopped, he will be more over-cautious and negative than ever before. He will think his cute little quick pot-shots will be evidence enough of his superior skillset, but in reality he will not take enough risks and the judges will score for the firestorm that will come from Pacquiao's fists over 12 rounds But Shane vs Pac? That one I don't have a strong conviction on. On one hand, Pacquiao could burn him for speed, make him look his age, and run out an easy winner. That is a distinct possibility for me, because I don't for a nanosecond buy the ridiculous assertion of many Shane fans that Shane is as fast as Manny. Nonsense. On the other hand, Shane would have genuine advantages in terms of size, strength and punching power, and unlike Cotto and Clottey he would know how to use it. If Shane landed a powerpunch flush, he could badly hurt Manny. In short, I don't know.
I disagree regarding the Mayweather vs Pacquiao prediction, if only because you seem to neglect the idea that Floyd will be landing counter-punches throughout the fight. There's a distinct possibility that one of them hurts Pacquiao or at least causes him to stop throwing as many punches of which is typical of the Filipino. Maybe it's wishful thinking, maybe at this point in Manny's career, I'd rather see him lose even more than that walking contradiction Pretty Boy Floyd. I gave up putting stock in my own predictions a long time ago. I'm perfectly content with the realization that for as much history as I'm able to recite, and with pretty decent grammar, I can't predict the future because my emotions get in the way of simple logic. P.S, If you didn't get a chance check out Myung-Woo Yuh vs Oh Kon Son which has recently been uploaded to youtube. Stunning, Woo's greatest performance outside of Gamez II in my judgment.
You can't compare them in any meaningful way imo. In many eyes, pac is at his peak, or even still improving and is at worst second best fighter in the world, albeit in an era with barely any real P4P talent in it. I thin this is the worst Welterweight crop of high profile fighters of at least the least the past 50 years...been saying it for a few years now and have quite enjoyed Pac carving through ordinary and vastly overhyped fighters like Cotto i have to say.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to conclude which win is more significant and impressive, Lora. I bring it up because I hear countless times people downplaying Roberto Duran's resume claiming he only beat one great fighter. It isn't true, not that Barkley is a great fighter, but beating Barkley at that time in his career is pretty much just as good as beating an All Time Great in my estimation.
I voted for Duran, but a better comparison would have been Leonard - Duran/ Cotto-Pac in my opinion. And I'd still that one to Duran too.
Hard to say. Cotto I think is better than Barkley, so I would have to give the win of Pacman's more credibility.
