But that was my point....Everyone has NO PROBLEM calling out Floyd as if he is THE ONLY FIGHTER IN BOXING HISTORY to ever find a fighter for Highest Dollar Value but minimal risk in just completely insane!!!! But as usual...People only like to call-out fighters 'LIKE FLOYD" (HINT HINT)...Because NO-ONE else has ever done that. In fact, Pacquiao fighting Paulie Malignaggi and Yuri Foreman are INDEED potential Classics and MUST HAPPEN FIGHTS!!!! My bad for even suggesting the The GREAT MANNY PACQUIAO would ever cherry-pick a fighter...or anyone else other than "THE FLOYD MAYWEATHER-LIKE" FIGHTERS. :-( Anyone have the schedule dates for the Malignaggi fight...I don't wanna miss it!!!!
he still knocked out Ricky Hatton in two rounds with 3 knockdowns. that's one helluva an accomplishment.
Floyd, PAC, Leonard, Robinson, Ali....all the greats in the past or in the future will find that this kind of critisim comes with the territory of being the best. Not just in this sport but in all.....critisim is always there when you are at the top of your game. Floyd has a lot of unfair critisim about his career...so does PAC. But Floyd puts it out there that he is looking for money...not legacy building fights so his critisim is more harsh...which reflects his personality and how he chooses to live up to his persona.
So Hatton lunged face first into a hook that strafed him across the chin? Was he lunging sideways? People say this, but it makes little sense. He was simply hit with a punch right on the chin that he didn't see coming. Forward movement doesn't add any power to a counterpunch that hits you perpendicular to your movement. And if you seriously think that the padded ringpost did the most damage, and not the punch that had him out on his feet badly enough that he went face first into the ringpost, then you're a moron (this is rhetorical, you're clearly a moron anyway).
pac has a better resume than floyd, and those skilled african american fighters you talk of got smacked by the latinos. e.g judah,mosley beaten by cotto. kevin kelley by barrera. junior junes by morales. gainer by marquez.
What skilled african americans....Nobody sees nor reads the mentioned of Maidana nor Urango...Ahhh I get it. You guys only see what you wanna see. Ahhh now it all makes sense. BLINDED BY IGNORANCE!!!!
I could say the same **** about de la hoya and when he did step in with someone to his caliber he lost.
I think in the fight Floyd will show a bit of Agapito (footwork, precision, speed) and a bit of Morales (contolled level of activity), and Marquez (counterpucnhing). The odd thing is Floyd will not have to prepare a specific strategy for this fight as he can adapt to virtually every fighter. I think Pac may try to outbox Floyd the first few rounds and then out of frustration he will seek the knockout. I tend to believe that Pac's chances of winning are being possible but not probable. Just want to clarify I dislike Floyd immensely as a person.
damn right... if i remember it right a few months ago, people were saying that pac "bit more than what he can chew" when he decided to sign the fight with cotto. buy now these haters make it sound like cotto was somehow bound to lose to pac anyways.
Some of you Floydettes will happily point to Shane tootache and long list of timeline to justify Floyds choice of Mitchel, Corley Brussels, are the same guys that will nitpick others resume. Bunch of crybabies. Campbell-J.Diaz just fought ONE month before Pac-D.Diaz. Prior to that Campbell was a bum KO'ed by Peden and it was J.Diaz that was the hot commodity there. Marquez was not even a LW yet, just 3 mos prior to Pac-Diaz they fought for the WBC 130lbs title. Are you here to prove you dont follow boxing? Guzman was not a LW either, and after Pac-Diaz he got a match with Campbell. God that was history making. A guy moving up in weight came in overweight! HAHA! at least unlike ur ***** bf Floyd, he tried to sweat it out but was hospitalized trying to make weight. If he know what Floyd would do later in JMM fight that changing the contract overnight and paying the "penalty" is better than honestly trying to do the right thing and try to sweat it out, he would have emulated his idol Floyd. Now go suck Floyd's dick coz it sims everyone but you, sdsfishnet, easy, pink-c, crony, too pretty don't know that Mayweather set a bar for cherrypicking.
