    'If I fought as reckless as Manny,' he says. 'I wouldn't be here today. I'd be beaten up, worn out. I've controlled my fights.'

    Man this dude keeps giving manny props he basically is saying Pac is so great he can fight reckless and still be here today being part of the biggest fight in history

    He also admitted again Pac is worn out

    isn't it amazing pac has fought this way and after nearly 70 fights is still at this level?

    Age, time and experience will eventually wear out everyone. That's just a side-effect of being alive.

    He's not giving manny props. He's saying that Manny is reckless. That's not a compliment. Manny isn't reckless. He just isn't defensive minded like Floyd and is willing to get hit. Floyd though has obviously kept himself in better condition fighting that way and not taking risks. We all knew the wars Manny has been in would take its toll.

    ah yes, I see where you're coming from now. I don't like defensive minded fighters, but I can still appreciate what they do. I just couldn't sit through a whole fight watchng them. I prefer offensive fighters like Pac. He was always the far more exciting boxer to me.

    Pac doesn't look worn out, judging from how fresh he's looked in his last 3 fights

    Pac's style is riskier than Floyd, no doubt but the idea that he is totally reckless is absolute trash. If this were the case, Cotto, DLH, Margarito would've knocked him out. He was very cautious and smart in those fights, these dudes never hit him, maybe once or twice. Pac has not been easy to hit in many big fights, it's one dude that has given him problems - JMM. Who else in Pac's last 10 fights has hit him more than 1 or 2 times in a 12 round fight? name me 1 guy... Sure Bradley hit him 1 or 2 times, Maidana also rocked Floyd 1 or 2 times. You cannot avoid the occasional good punch but Pac has been pretty hard to hit due to his quickness. JMM is the exception due to his Mexican 'hit me but i will it you back' style, his intelligence, great trainer and Pac's stubbornness to fight him toe to toe.

    Now if we go back, way back... Pac also took some punishment vs Morales and early in his career but the Pacquiao of 09-15 has rarely gotten hit, rarely... taking JMM out of the equation

    So he isn't as reckless as floyd claims, no way. Does he fight by taking more risks than Floyd? sure, who doesn't? floyd is the biggest b tch boxing has ever seen but a b tch with skills, i'll give him that.

    He didn't say he would have lasted like Pac has, remember, he's 2 years older than Pac. When Pac is 38, he won't be boxing anymore. He's retiring at 37.

    And it's not props, you just read it that way because you only see light in Pacquiao and dark in Floyd.

    I agree with him. Also, if Pacquiao fought more "textbook," he wouldn't have been as successful himself.
