    The members of the media and boxing fans, people who don't really know boxing don't appreciate what this man has done for the sport but I never seen any fighter who has said anything bad about Floyd ... the boxing community love him and respect him for being a great fighter.

    It's not my job to educate you .. open your eyes and go learn on your own.


    You can start by looking up what George Foreman and Marvin Hagler say about Floyd.

    Great fighter? Yes. Ducking Pac? Yes. Only a fool would deny that this is the general consensus amongst the population, boxers included.

    James Toney doesn't respect him.

    Marvin Hagler don't respect him.

    SRL don't respect him.

    I guess they don't know boxing neither.

    The guy has the boxing game by the nuts, literally....its a sad state of affairs.....

    When people want to watch you more than giving a rats ass whether it is for a title or not, you have the sport by the nuts, he and Pac right now, Can pretty much do what they want...Even then Pac answers to Bob, Floyd does not answer to any one, thats why he does and says whatever he wants, no matter how ignorant and trashy it is, at the end of the day he is his own boss.....

    Thats why alot of other boxer's respect the position he has put himself in.....he can call out any one from 140-160 and the dudes would drop everything they are doing and come running, at a chance to fight him for the payday.... (with the exception of Pac)

    That's two names. You said tons.

    And I bet you both Foreman and Hagler respect his ability as a boxer. It's the outside the ring antics they do not like.

    People are sheep. Just because it's the consensus, does not make it a fact.

    At one time, the world was flat was the general consensus.

    You mean the way he acts inside of the ring of course?

    I've broken the fight down and people just talk ****. Don't get into all that.

    But since you did, tell me: How does Manny close distance without getting caught (he will be shorter and at a reach disadvantage) without an effective jab to setup his power shots?

    He's just going to go in there winging power punches? And before you say Manny has an effective jab, just remember he has a 16% average land rate on his jab since his 2nd fight with JMM. He had a low of 3% against Clottey, and landed under 15% in both his fights with Oscar and Mosley. None of those guys are Mayweather either.

    No jab, wild combinations that leave him off balance and open, and he's going to win? On what grounds? Speed will not carry the day for him against Mayweather.

    Want to talk about bull**** analysis? Let's talk about all the *******s that think Manny is going to go in there winging punches, walk through Mayweather's "feather fisted" punches, and take him out? Come on.....

    What physical advantages does Manny bring into the fight? Practically nothing. Stylistically, Mayweather is all wrong for Manny as well. And I'm a huge Pacquiao fan, but this fight is going to be a let-down in regard to how competitive people believe it will be.

    You obviously have more faith in Floyd than he does in himself.
