    Still did'nt change. he would still **** up top welters and light welters out there, except JMM, who already knew Pac's body and soul, even pac's bunghoe.

    well originally they didn't offer a cutoff and I already was heated from the initial statement.

    but I think after the first negotiations, it was a combination of both groups. Mostly Arum and Floyd. Fight didn't happen after the Mosley fight because of Pac not agreeing to no cutoff and Floyd going on vacation and his legal issues.

    Then the last negotiations, I think most of the blame goes to Arum. I think Floyd genuinely wanted the fight, but messed up by asking for more than 50/50. It gave Arum an excuse to move on, who was gonna use the stadium and Pac's cut to duck.

    Who was there besides Floyd and Marquez to be "kept away from"? People used to say Bradley, very well-rounded boxer with good hand speed, until Pac showed he could beat him even while fighting a lazy fight.

    What Marquez did is uncommon, not the average. Cotto has a solid jab that troubled and Pacquiao neutralized it. So far welterweight Pacquiao's limit is Marquez, nobody else.

    :lol:

    I am a fan of Pacs and the only thing it changed was that there are a lot less of those ****ing *******s around here. I hated to see pac lose but JMM did ESB a favour that night.
     
  5. Phheew We got there in the END lol

    Pac is a humble man and seems to think that he owes Bob and that pisses me off. A lot of it has to do with Pac not having the right people around him to help him go it alone like Floyd does.

    I think JMM deserved the first and third fights, so seeing him finally get his win made it easier to like Pacquiao, even if the decisions weren't his fault. Didn't dislike him before then, just wasn't a fan.

    Then came the articles about Pacquiao complimenting Marquez on his victory and saying he deserved it, joking about getting knocked out and just generally being a good ****.

    That got a lot more respect from me than I originally had.

    Stayed the same, my opinion was already low. He looked just average against Clottey, Margarito and Mosley. Then I had Marquez beating him, Bradley beating him so it wasn't exactly surprising to me when he went down in Marquez 4. Marquez doing some proper strength training for the first time in his career and Pac on the slide, I thought that Marquez would win easily if not by KO. Pac to his credit looked a bit more dynamic during the fight up until the KO, which surprised me.
     
  12. Me and a Colleague watched the Margarito fight last night ( AGAIN ) and I just told him what you said, You know what he said?? He said " its not even worth a reply, if someone is so moronic to think that was an average performance " But hey here I am replying MORON lmao.

    No. Manny is still a great fighter. These last few fights haven't added or subtracted to his legacy. Mad part of his legacy is that Marquez gave him hell. Same as bowe for Holyfield.

    :lol: Oh no, not you and your colleague dissing me, how will I sleep.

    Margarito was a punching bag, even past it Mosley was far more impressive against Margarito than Pac was. The only punches Margarito landed on Pac were body punches and Pac was clearly hurt by them.
