1. This was not a title fight. 2. It seems to imply the smaller Jenkins forced Armstrong to come in under 140 pounds to which Armstrong "obliged." Armstrong was a small WW and wouldn't have a problem with this. So Armstrong didn't ever ask for a catch-weight.
Amen Brotha'...SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!!! This content is protected What is really sad and a HUGE confirmation of the kinds of posters we have in ESB. Is that, in my thread there were a series of questions. And All of the posters that are BITCHING...Have yet to call any of these questions invalid!!! Probably it's because of one glaring trend in ESB. The Large majority of Pacquiao fans in ESB are NOT Boxing Fans. They just love Manny Pacquiao. Their only critique is that, indeed Barrera, Morales and Marquez are All ATHLETIC, SKILLFUL AND FAST FIGHTERSatsch. Although all are Elite-Level Fighters and should be respected and definitely Pacquiao should be given the ut-most credit for fighting and defeating all 3. But to call these fighters Athletic, Skillful Boxers with Speed is just Plain Wrong. But what I will say, is that All 3 of these ATG's (MAB, JMM EM)...have tested themselves against some Talented, Skillful, Athletic Fast-ass boxers in their careers...here are some names: Junior Jones, Derrick Gainer, Naseem Hamed, Kevin Kelly, Zahir Raheem, Joel Casamayor and Floyd Mayweather. Look...I get it. Manny Pacquiao is a Popular Mutha'fuka. Hell...I even Like the Mutha'fuka. But as a Boxing Fan...there are fights in his career that should have been made. And I am tired of seeing Paquiao fighting fighters that he holds ALL OF THE ADVANTAGES IN SPEED, ATHLETICISM AND SKILL. Especially when there have been fighters (Belt Holders) in the same weight class with just as much Athleticism, Speed and Skill. All of these Pacquiao Fans have NO problem in having "Open season" on fighters like Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather. Attacking their resumes and fighters they avoided (in their opinions). But according to them...to attack Manny Pacquiao...IS SACRILEGIOUS!!! This content is protected
Your credibility on the subject is incredibly low. We all know you can't split between your objectivity and bias when it comes to Pac and Floyd. The slant is there right between our eyes and of course you think we're all deflecting or ignoring your valid questions. You rank Floyd above Pacquaio. Find me a sane poster or historian who does the same. Should take awhile even to find the insane ones (Besides the obvious *****s). Yeah I know, it's all a conspiracy.
