    Neither.

    What we have been watching with Manny is an unholy combination of physical gifts, an insane work ethic, and both a willingness and an ability to precisely follow strategic goals under fire.

    It doesn't defy logic. It's the logic of an ATG.

    there's a thread waiting for you at the general forum pops :lol::lol::lol:

    "If Pac beats Hatton there can really be no excuses based on Hatton's latest performance. I've always considered Hatton overrated, but if Pac can beat the legit #1 guy at 140, that would be huge, the biggest win of his career. He does that, he surpasses Harada in my book. Bookmark this post if you want to."


    BTW, what happened to that prediction with your dick rider KG that pac wont last 4 rounds with hatton?? :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    How does this thread fail? Its a question of opinion


    Oh most definitely but I mean... The point I'm trying to make is

    I have seen shane mosley get decked in his last couple fights
    I have seen nate campbell get decked in his very last fight
    I have seen miguel cotto get decked in his 2nd to last fight
    I have seen carl froch get decked in his last fight
    I have seen kelly pavlik get decked

    Etc etc.... We can guage all these guys ability to take a shot... The verdict is still out for pacmans ability to take a pinch... Especially at a higher weight and that is a very important thing... People are talking about pacman vs. Shane, cotto and floyd but we have seen pacman really get punched like that in his last 3 fights.... All these guys will land on pacman

    wright might have been inactive but he was always a dangerous choice moreso because he'd been out of the loop for so long - that made losing to wright potentially even more damaging to a fighter's career.

    especially considering how difficult a fighter he is to take on - just like fighting hopkins.

    Boxing analysis at its finest.

    The cross-divisional resume of future HOF'ers he has amassed is not going to be matched any time soon. In this day and age of multiple belts and missed big fights, *it* defies logic. Anyone that doesn't recognize what Pac has done as impressive and special simply must have another agenda.

    A bit of both really. Pac accomplishes amazing feats but if he'd fought Mayweather, Mosley, Judah, Tszyu etc @ 140 i'm not so sure. Regardless considering the weight Pac started at what he's done is phenomenal.
    Some people go over-board with their praise, others with their "perspective".

    Every recent prediction I've made on this fight has been "Pacquiao TKO 9 Hatton". You stupid, light-switch dick Ewok.

    Ok.. First of all what the hell does paul williams have to do with the question I am asking you

    2nd of all.... The best opponents are not diaz oscar and hatton

    @ 147 the best
    -shane
    -margarito
    -cotto
    -paul williams

    @ 140 the best

    - nate campbell
    - timothy bradley
    - and many more I can't think of right now

    I think the diaz fight was @ 135 and I can't think of who is there right now

    But I mean yes they were great opponents & great resume builders... And great risks... But were they the best opponents in the diviision? HELL NO.... Prior to his last 3 fights he definitely fought the best but now he isn't fighting the best but he is compromising for that in fighting above his regular weight class to guys he should probably be losing to

    Pac is a ****ing beast he comes in with the mindset of taking his opponent out early as possible. He beat the **** outta Hatton and proved me wrong again. Although I picked him to beat JMM both times.

    Williams 6"3"=towers against most of his opposition got all physical advantages.
    Pac 5'6"= former flyweight knocking out LWW-MW title holders

    he just had his first fight at 140 against the guy who was considered the best 140 in the world and youre mentioning Campbell who hasnt even fought at 140 and Bradley.

    you´re a ****ing clown you just made this thread to try and discredit Pac´s achievments cause hes taking the spotlight from your two idols PW and Floyd.
