victor ortiz was in his prime and coming off a very impressive victory against berto. ricky hatton was in his prime and undefeated. zab judah was also in his prime when he faced mayweather.
u know, u say that, but manny has a real chance against floyd. he has very heavy hands and endless stamina. if he hurts floyd, he ll probably stop him. floyd looked vulnerable against cotto and everyone knows that manny is a few levels above cotto in every department.
i dont know what youre talking about. pacquiao looked great against bradley and he looked damn good against marquez. he completely dominated bradley and boxed very well against marquez. when he first fought marquez, marquez was young and in his prime. barrera still had a lot left. so did erik morales. he hasnt alway fought fighters coming off losses. thats a relatively recent trend.
