    That 37yo **** drinking wannabee kicked Pacs ass twice :yep Marquez highest PPV is pretty close to Pacs highest PPV, what did Clottey/Marg/Diaz bring to the table :lol:

    BTW how many of those 8 titles were paper?

    154 -paper
    147 -paper
    135- paper
    122-paper

    You didn't just taking it into consideration when making a prediction though, you mentioned every day how Pacquiao will be at an unfair advantage because he's smaller than Mayweather only to predict he'd beat Paul Williams shortly after.

    DLH made a mess of his fight night weight which is why Pacquiao doesn't get much credit for that fight, that wasn't Pac's fault obviously but people take it into consideration when they look back on it and rightly so.

    I only mention the weight difference when discussing how the fight would play out.

    "Oscar made a mess of the fight night weight" is exactly the kind of post fight excuse I'm talking about. Are you saying that if Oscar hadn't made a mess of the fight night weight Oscar would have beat Pac at 147? Or would he still get his ass whipped by a Pacquiao who was moving up 2 divisions in one shot.

    So why are Floyd fans bothered when people take Marquez's weight into consideration?

    Pacquiao is A SMALLER MAN, Mayweather or Williams. Maybe he's not taking the size into consideration against Williams, every fight is different. Mayweather is at a skill level, where a size advantage WILL matter; Williams maybe not so much.

    of course the size difference will have an impact in the Williams fight as well. If Williams didn't have a size advantage on Pac then Pac would demolish him.

    Pac will be at a size disadvantage against both Floyd and Williams. Think about it people in this thread are talking about Pac vs Marquez at 140. Floyd couldn't even make a 144lb catchweight and Williams hasn't fought at WW in years.

    All this fight about Pac should be fighting JMM is really a diversion. The real issue here is Floyd avoiding the real fight that almost all boxing fans want.
    This is just a screen to cover Floyd's cowardice.

    You sound like a butthurt Void fan

    Void:
    130- paper
    135- paper the fight he lost anyway to Castillo
    147- paper
    154 -paper

    Damn they are all paper! Void is void after all

    That's what I'm saying, Williams is nowhere near Mayweather's skills. He makes fights interesting because of his size.

    sorry sucker, Pac has won championships in more divisions than anyone in history. Even if you disregard "paper titles".

    At this stage of his career, Pac would obliterate JMM. JMM is 37 guys, 37 and already past his best weight at 135 yet alone 140.

    I give JMM best chance of 140lb title against Bradley. Bradley is even shorter than JMM and JMM should be able to box with him. At this stage, Khan is too rangy and too fast though JMM has a good chance of catching him.

    Manny and Floyd failed and we cant rely on that fight

    Whose left for Manny not many I think Bradley can be a good fight

    but on the topic of Marquez he just won he is declining yes but he is still very relevant

    The first 2 fights were amazing

    You can bill this very well

    This is the last guy who really gave Manny a beating despite losing

    Floyd kinda has him one upped because he crushed Marquez with ease

    this would be a bold statement if Mnny could blast Juan in this fight and disprove critics who say he cant beat a p4p counter puncher

    good post I could see him beat Bradley

    Khan is faster and has reach and height advantages and hits very hard
