I like how people say Floyd cherry-picked Canelo, when there were people calling for the fight. Some people were even convinced that Floyd wouldn't fight him. And no, Pacquiao doesn't fight like Pryor. Pryor was a swarmer, Pacquiao is a boxer-puncher.
I never called for the canelo fight ROFL infact I picked the coward to win I have a thread dated before the fight predicting a duckweather win:hi:
Laugh all you want. ANYTHING is possible in this fight, there are so many variables to consider. Come May 2nd, we will see what happens.
he did fight ATGS Barrera and Morales which alone is more than anything Floyd has done. You can't say Manny has cherry picked when he's wanted to fight floyd this whole time and would have taken the fight anywhere. That doesn't even make sense.
The bottle thing came right out of Manny's mouth during an interview. Also Resto said that that Panama guy (mr. Bottle himself) along with stripping the padding from the gloves gave him asthma medicine for better breathing and more stamina.
Your quote is what makes Floyd a great fighter becuase you put down names of some of the best fighters out there , and you believe its EASY work , you also go ahead and fabricate scenarios (Mosely tearing down is head off and the likes) which are fantasy , what is not fantasy is the fact you dissrespect every great boxer floyd beat and there are such boxers , this 2 (Pac/Floyd) are the best of this ERA of course others will not match up to them , PAC is great and Floyd is great , there is no exposing , there is only bragging rights on whos #1 and whos #2 . all the fanbois who diss those figthers acheviments inside the ring are just haters. its really annoying to read the haters going overboard with ****ysis of each fight and why its not a good win , it goes both ways btw ... cant wait for May 2nd , great fight and the end of the longest internet fude.
Saw the interview on tv during a boxing match on HBO. I know a lot of you guys don't like the commentary and turn it off, but I like the whole show. What's in the bottle? I can only assume that it's the same asthma medication that Luis Resto said Panama dude (Aaron Pryor's trainer at the time) gave to him. If he gave it to Resto and took the padding from his gloves do you think he wouldn't give it to Pryor in a much bigger fight earlier in his (Panama's) career? It still speculative, but I do believe both Manny and Resto (he has nothing to lose) and on top of that I think that Panama dude is a no good piece of ish.
I'm NOT A PAC FAN!!!!!! I've never cared for him!!!! But I respect his career and him as a fighter. I don't see how anyone can't. But I also have a real hard time understanding why anyone respects floyd. yes his talent is great and he used to be my 2nd favorite fighter, but after so much BS with him, I got off that bus.
Those guys mentioned above wouldn't even be top 10 contenders in the past era! That is what I rate them on. They are gatekeepers at best compared to the 90s, early 2000s fighters. You need to wake up and see that the guys floyd has been beating are NOT elite fighters by any stretch. Sure, they may be good fighters for the time being, but because the competition is ****. You don't think close to Prime Oscar, Whitaker, mosley, trinidad, hell even vargas, quartey, would have beaten all those guys with no problem. Maybe you're young and just followed boxing recently because of Floyd, but I was around and saw all those 90s fighters during their prime, before and after. And I will tell you, if this version of Floyd was in the 90s roster of welters, he would have retired by now. A handful of those guys would have beaten him. I mean FFS, a washed up Oscar gave him all he could handle! Mayweather wouldn't have been able to hang with him and some of those others prime for prime.
With the aid of the Commission & their officials any boxer can have a good record. A REAL champion does it on his own though Therefore Floyd isn't a real champion
He sure has been protected since he's been in Vegas. The NSAC look after him like that Insurance advert says " You're in good hands Floyd with the NSAC " ROFL:roflatsch
