    I meant the TS. I know you are a big Pacquiao fan, but clearly not a *******, since you do know your ****.

    I was just replying to your post. You're good, homie.

    I think Vic's style is all wrong for Travieso TBH. But depending on how Vic performs at 122lbs, most likely Vic wins again IMO. Wouldnt mind watching tho.

  7. 20 Middleweight title defenses, wins over Tarver, Pavlik, and Pascal past the age of 40 = ATG status. Sorry bruh, you are just wrong. :deal

    Got to give it to travieso for his recent win, I thought he was done. Mexican fighters are on a roll right now, so many surprising wins, I think it's the year of mexican boxing but can JMM pull it through? we will find out soon.

    I will be rooting for my boy JMM to the very end. But in the end, i just want to enjoy a great fight, and hopefully thats what we get this coming November.

    These ignorant ****s expose themelves everytime they talk about something other than Pac. They don't know **** about the sport and prove it time and time again.

    In the same manner that i'll be rooting for pacquiao. I don't think this is a sure win for pac, JMM has been his 'contra pelo' since the first fight. Hope pac wins but as you said, I just want to enjoy a great fight.

    I think he would as well if not win by wide UD. Donaire is all wrong for Vic D.

    I suppose it depends on how big your all time great club is. If you limit it to 20, then I can see how Hopkins would be left off. But if you rank it as, say, history's five greatest boxers of each weight class, then I can't see how you could leave Hopkins off that list. You could make a decent case for Hagler and Monzon being ranked ahead of him. You *could* make a mildly convincing case for Hagler, Monzon and Robinson being ranked ahead of him. But to put five middleweights ahead of Hopkins would be unthinkable. And if he's one of history's five best middleweights (perhaps second only to heavyweight in prestige), then there's no way he can't be an all time great. And that's not even counting his feats at light heavyweight.
