    EXACTLY
    Hatton, a guy with no defence, rushing forward just asking to get Kod

    Cotto was a decent win but Cotto was going through a bad patch at the time with trainers etc. He also looked **** against Clottey which coincidentally the same time Roach picked him as Pacqiaos next opponent.
    How about the Cotto of now vs PAcqiao?

    Clottey, another bum who didnt do much.

    Margarito, a slower, bigger Hatton with a better chin

    Mosely who was old and shot

    It was all good matchmaking. I said all that years ago, but nobody listens. I rewatched the 3rd Marquez fight, Pacqiao didnt have a frigging clue what to do. He was still throwing the same 1-2 combo
    over and over again.

    But according to *******s, Pacqiaos going to do this and do that to Mayweather :patsch

    You've made the fatal error of assuming I don't rate Floyd as highly as some because I'm a fan of Manny's. This whole era sucks you fanny and don't even try and talk boxing with me because you'll be annihilated.

    Floyd has had his straight on fighters picked for him in much the same way. He's undefeated? Wow, he also fights like once a year so get ****ed.

    And yes, Marquez clearly beat Pac in their third fight, I had him winning the second as well. And ****ing what.

    Mosley was old but he did fight Floyd a year before, and almost kocked him down.

    Cotto also fought Floyd 3 years later after Pacquiao, yet Manny did a lot more damage to Miguel than Floyd.

    Hatton also fought Floyd.

    So I'm not sure where are you going with this. Manny didn't look great against Bradley, so I'm not so sure he would really hurt Floyd, but between those two I still believe Manny is a greater fighter. About who's ducking who, I think it makes much more sense that the guy who has a 'perfect' record to protect has more to lose in a fight against the other guy.

    floyd & manny have spent the last 3 years doing their legacies unrepairable damage... they will forever be known as the guys that never had the ambition, bravery & respect for the fans to give us the biggest fight of the era... a shameful act that cannot be accepted by any true fan of the sport.

    Its too late now, better late than never doesn`t apply here, they had 3 years & didn`t do ****, they will both be confined to history as great fighters that never quite had that extra something to become elite ATGs.

    And vice versa, lets stop giving pac a free pass, if just one of these pricks had wanted this fight enough then believe me, it would have been made ages ago... both were content to feast off lesser fighters & they were allowed to get away with it which is even sadder... I personally think that both guys should have been prevented from earning money until they fought each other, they should have been banned from boxing until they fought each other because this bull**** wouldn`t have been allowed in any other sport.

    Yeah Manny fought MAB, Morales and JMM one after the other and has fought them a total of 8 times , KO'd Oscar who lost a SD vs Floyd, KO'd Hatton in 2 Floyd took 10, smashed up a better Cotto etc......

    Pacman Came up from LW to smash 'all' the fighters that made Floyd retire instead of facing, Floyd cared more for his health than to face Pacman.

    Pacman fighter of the decade

    Floyd is a great boxer , but you cannot just hand him all the 'wins' he missed out of because he is a great slick boxer.

    I had no idea the classic forum could so easily be brought down to the level of the general forum. Good job, OP. This is like a smallpox blanket being tossed in here.
