    Ali, Duran, Leonard, Chavez, dela Hoya and Tyson all have tune-up fights during their primest prime, Manny Pacquiao doesn't have one!

    We are witnessing one of the best 3 year ride of any boxer in modern history. He is fighting all tough fights and having the motivation to continue being the best

    P4P dont mean **** if you fight someone that jumped two divisions to fight at 144, then for Floyd to purposely come in at 147 in what was essentially a loop hole in the contract is a total ***** move.:deal

    Manny went for the hard fights and got his tunes up the accidental way.

    Diaz, DLH, Clottey. Were nothing more than sparring matches.

    Diaz, he weakest champion at 135, DLH who weighed less than him, and Clottey who everyone expected him to blow out along with Diaz?

    Ehh..

    Pac is great no doubt. Some of his fights easily deserve to be criticized.

    Word, everyone criticizes, and rightly so, theres always room for improvement. And thinking about it Diaz was a tune up, but, Diaz actually won two legitimate rounds from Pac, and no one has clear cut done that since. after the 6th round of that fight Pac became who he is today. Fights like that can boost people's confidence, and Pac has never looked back...
    BTW, I know I sound like a *******, but Im actually just giving hime props, his run has never been seen b4 in the history of boxing, and it deserves some credit.
