    That's great. However, your lone opinion does not reflect the general consensus.

    with floyd's footwork he will actually control the tempo of the fight......lmfao...u just took the best thing floyd knows how to do.."control the tempo of a fight"..

    Floyds footwork will keep the fight in the middle of the ring..pac wont be able to make it into a "fight" and floyd will control the tempo of the fight and make it into a "boxing match".

    The middle of the ring is where floyd should want it actually...he can fight elsewhere but the middle of the ring is where he will be able to "technically" control the fight

    You know how many pac fans steal my quotes on this forum?
    I am not even a big fan of his, but when I defended him on the steroid ****, like 30 pac fans were ripping me off in all these threads.

    If I give may props it will resonate.

    You don't have to be a psychic to be able to accurately predict human behavior.

    Oh yeah, for sure. I totally agree.
    In fact, I respect you a lot. If we can't realize what happened in the fight, then we're just being douches.

    On his bike I win.
    Outboxing aggressively you win.


    We both know what that means. We both watch every fight we can. No reason to argue semantics. And I think both of us don't even care about losing 500$.

    Not really. It was clear that Mosley wasn't the fighter he once was and even if he was, his style plays into Mayweather's hands. His physical attributes make a fight at 135lbs close but he doesn't have the edges Judah did.

    You can look at the things Judah does better than Pacquiao but there is a long list of things Pacquiao does better, but, more importantly, gives Mayweather more problems. Judah isn't hard to predict, yet Pacquiao is one of the best unorthodox punchers ever. Pacquiao has so many intagibles which make him a very tough opponent for Mayweather.

    I give guys like Pacquiao, Mayorga, Quartey bigger chances than Trinidad, Mosley etc..

    Obviously you dont understand boxing. Anyone who knows anything about boxing will tell you that if your square you provide more target area for your opponent all the greats used to point their shoulder and turn their body in order to provide less target areea. Also What superb timing are you speaking of.... He simply punched when Manny wasnt punching and some of that was by design by Manny to get clottey to open up. You dont know much about Boxing my friend.:deal

    I don't think being presumptuous is going to forward the conversation in any positive direction, but we both know how quick fans are to discredit and dismiss prizefighters.

    If Manny Pacquiao had defeated Shane Mosley, for example, how do you think the Floyd fans would have reacted? I know I said I can't predict the future but here's my best effort. "...Shane is old, he hasn't fought in so so long".

    Floyd fans spend a great deal of time on these forums reminding the rest of us how their favorite fighter has had a raw deal, and how he can never win. Well, it's not even a talking point because it's the same with every fighter at this level, and those same fans who cry and whimper for Floyd are the same fans who discredit his nearest rival...Manny Pacquiao in this case.

    You are smoking. Diaz was "the best"? Please. If he was about fighting the best he would have faced Zahir Raheem.

    Now who is "the best" at LWW? I would accept Pac handling that challenge also.

    Now you're just going off on a tangent.
