    Well, I'll take it over "you're more Fulmer than LaMotta" any day of the week.

    Is English your second language?

    Well man, the way I see it is that despite size disparity and Williams' physical attributes, Pacquiao eats come forward fighters alive, especially guys with minimal defense like Margarito and P-dub. He'd definitely eat some leather, but honestly I think Pacquiao would throw him a beating.

    MW-I was closer than a lot of people think. And I think PW actually has a chance to win this time. He's good in rematches. And Sergio is having to cut very fast. He isnt a natural JMW anymore.

    And now is not the time to me make self-conscious about it. Will be holding a speech in English on my brother's wedding in Hong Kong this Friday.

    Oh yes. But I'm aiming at doing it in spectacular fashion. Anything else would feel too lukewarm... you know like making an anticipated comeback by beating on a much smaller past prime "name" opponent. No half measures here. I want to bomb bad. Like Robin Williams performing in a retirement home.

    I also think PW will win this time round.

    I'd be pretty amazed if Pac decides to fight the winner of that though to be honest.

    I think he can beat both. It'll be the most risky fight probably of his career, but taking on risk, and challenges is what makes a great fighter. As a last fight, it's not bad. I know we're never gonna see the PBF fight, so why not shoot for the next greatest star?

    believe.
     
  11. Having a true atg in prime right now is awesome to see. I wonder if Manny is a historian at all?

    I agree, he has improved with time and proved his toughness and ability in his last few dominant performances. This guy started at 105

    Yeah but he started as a 16 year old kid. IMO he is naturally a lw/slw.

    Naturally these days is such a mis-leading term though...he'd probably be fighting at 135 if he was a mere mortal, yeah.
