    Just remember the former field for bankruptcy in the early 90's and the latter is worth much more.

    It's a readers digest once in a lifetime offer letter.

    It seems like Manny is the fighter fighting for money now a days and not for legacy. He is taking to **** fights back to back to make money. Him and Bob are just robbing the bank right now with his last two fights.

    I really expect this to be Manny's last fight. His day job will consume him soon enough.

    Floyd is a simpleton, he is being sued for failure to pay rent as we speak. IMO he will end up broke and fighting for money when he is in his 40s. Mentally he just isn't very bright.

    I assumed as much, wasn't really aiming it at you.

    Just when renowned anti-floyd posters start talking about his facebook updates it just feels creepy. Its like they want to be ellerbe or something and because they cant be their hating on Floyd like a jilted lover, lol.

    If you are saying his last 2 fights are not challenging, just look at what they're saying about it before the fights. Yes they were underdogs that's because of Manny's accomplishments on his previous performances. If the 7th title in 7th division not a legacy, I don't know what is.

    Of course he fights to make money. As what I say on my other posts, all professional athletes wants to get as much money as they think they're worth. It's the question of a fighter giving back to the paying fans. Manny will give you 100% performance and always go all out to the point of opening himself just to make it entertaining.

    And one thing, he's not afraid to face the challenge of whomever is brought in front of him, win or lose.

    Clottey is a live dog. The guy was intimidated mentally. You mean to say Foreman is a better option?

    Margarito a full blown WW going to JMW, I guess JMM a LW is better for you (by the way it's not final yet).

    Those things happen because your lover ducked Pac twice.

    I think the problem is because Clottey and Margarito are two fighters that don't present any real challenge to Manny because of their style.

    Clottey is a solid fighter but he has never been very active in fights, covers up when under pressure, has no real devestating power and is always defence first.

    Marg is slow and plodding, throws wide punches, and while he is active and an effective stalker he isn't skilled enough to trap a fighter as fast as Pac. Pac will dance in and out of range all night long.

    When you consider they didn't want to fight Mosley, JMM or Williams at 140/147 but they move up to 154 (hmmm, 150 I guess) to take on Marg, another Top Rank fighter you have to be critical.
