    :hey

    No argument there.

    Although i did enjoy his fight against Judah alot, but i'd say JMM-Pac III was the more exciting fight IMO.

    But Floyd-Cotto...thats another story. ;)

    I really didn't think that was an exciting fight at all - Floyd Cotto was over by round 6 - Floyd was 6-0 up after jabbing a Cotto who didn't throw once in those 6 rounds. 2-3 rounds of a few body shots against the ropes late on and then desperately looking for a KO in 11 and 12 because the fight was out of reach does not a good fight make :)

    Forget Floyd or Marquez.

    Would be interesting to see Manny with a young hungry lion. Pacquiao would be the older boxer for a change in the fight.It's

    a young mans game.I think Pacquiao gets beat up though.It's probably the reason they keep picking old washed up boxers.

    You drive a hard bargain kid. If you think Josh, Shane, Tim and JMM are all Jokes then there's nothing Manny could have done to get your approval.:lol: I guess fighting Casamayor, Guzman, or Berto would have been better fighters to bless his "joke" of a resume.:rofl

    I do agree PAC didn't clean out the Welter Weight division but he hasn't really been a welter weight for that long. What he has done in half the time at 147 compared to real Welters is pretty damn impressive.

    Funny how Marquez/Mayweather fans try to discredit Pacquiao. All 3 are HoFers/ATG's. but lets do a comparitive anaysis of HoF opposition.

    Juan Manuel Marquez 55-6-1 (40 KO's)
    Pac (1-2-1), MAB (1-0), FMJ (0-1), Chris John (0-1)

    Manny Pacquiao 54-5-5 (38 KO's)
    JMM (2-1-1), Morales (2-1), MAB (2-0), OHLH (1-0), Cotto (1-0), SSM (1-0)

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. 43-0-0 (26 KO's)
    SSM (1-0), Cotto (1-0), ODLH (1-0), JLC (2-0), Corrales (1-0)

    Make of the above what you will. I respect them all and none of there accomplishments should be diminished. To say that a fighter will be remembered most for there post prime defeats is shortsighted at best. A fighter should be remembered for ther highest highs, not there lowest lows.
