    Do you understand boxing or a newbie playing stubborn for the sake of trolling?

    There are many different styles in boxing, downgrading one to praise another proves idiocy. Pacman moved a lot against DLH and pot shotted playing 100% defense and making sure DLH doesn't get a chance to land anything. He did the same with Diaz and was about to do the same with Hatton but he overpowered him too early.

    Is he a chicken too?

    If you find his resume terrible then I suggest you start paying more attention, Pacquiao is NOT the only fighter in boxing.

    He managed to win a poll when matched-up against a prime, 154 lb Mike McCallum. That's how overrated he is.

    see! Right there you're already overrating him, he has not even faced margarito yet and yet you're screaming that he could easily beat margo, cotto's punches did not even hurt margo... How do you think PBF can withstand margo's pressure?
    That's why I see him as overrated because of these floydets claiming that PBF would have an easy time with these fighters he has not even face! Get real man, stop chewing PBF's balls...

    Margacheato would get hit 2 times each hook he would try to trow and floyd would have time to trow a 3rd one but he would be busy scratching his nose.

    Please stop it! I can tell you don't know **** about boxing in that post. First PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Margo. No slow handed fighter who throws wide shots, with no jab, no defense and plods beats PBF. Margo can't cut off a ring to save his life he would be nothing but a slow moving target for PBF who would hit his ass and be gone before the guy even had a chance to get off. Margo isn't effective if he can't set his feet. He needs guys that are willing to stand in front of him to be successful and PBF wouldn't give him that luxury. The guy is slow as **** hell Shane looked like Pea Whitaker in there at times. Learn how to analyze match ups before making such foolish statements.

    owwwz too much love for PBF eh, like I said his best wins was in 130lb division,
    higher than that he has not face tough opposition, and you claim he would have an easy time with the real welters... Get real for christ sake...

    not saying he would have an easy time against real welter... Im saying he would have an easy time against margacheato...Mosley and cotto are your real welter I assume... and if those fight were to happen what would you think would be the betting odds... If any of these guy beat Floyd it would be an upset... As for pac he will never fight floyd he cant loose now if he wants to get into politics...
