    I said that he had the style to give him fits.

    But look at the build-up threads; I said that Floyds movement would see him win an easy decision. The evidence is there. He didn't win it that way but I got the outcome correct.

    As for quoting, its harder for me on my iphone. Low battery, I try and conserve it by not loading up too many screens :good

    I was referring to the 'once you're at the top you cherry pick'. Lots haven't.

    I got you mixed up with Twinfella who was adamant of a Mosley win.

    Name the fighters that didn't. I am talking on top as an earner as thats what matters to the fighters. And dont go back to 1872. 70s and beyond please.

    Stop bullshitting. Pacquiao's fought the best names at 147. All of them. And is clearly the more willing of himself and the cherrypicking one to make that fight too.

    As a fan I'll be happy to see Floyd back in the ring, and as a tune this is allot better fight than most expected, a young bull, puncher, speed, combinations, genuine WW, throwing 80punches a round and a southpaw coming of a great win proving his heart in a fight of the year war. Yea piece of **** fight that 1 lads, lets see if it actually happens

    Never said Pacquiao cherry picks more than Mayweather.

    He has never faced the highest ranked fighter even if u exclude Mayweather at 147lbs. He fights names now

    Ortiz was able to show all those attributes against a fighter I've never rated.

    So forgive me for not being overwhelmed if Floyd fights him. Floyd will beat him convincingly, with the main thing his admirers go on about, about him outclassing his opponents, breaking their wills and making them look ****, well, I reckon Ortiz will look more like he did at 140 than he did against Floyd.

    Floyds speed and accuracy will mark Ortiz up and he'll force a stoppage/retirement anywhere between 6-11 IMO.

    Pacquiao has never faced the highest ranked fighter at 147 Mayweather has 2 times Baldomir & Mosley

    Mosley and Berto next fight Ortiz but he will fight Marquez

    :lol:

    Oh nos he hasn't fought Andre Berto. He's facing Mosley next.

    I don't actually care whether Mayweather has fought the #1 on paper. Point is Baldomir is no substitute for Miguel Cotto just because he has a number in front of his name.

    Rate him or not as a great technician (obviously not), was Berto less skilled than Hatton/Margarito? How many had faster hands than Berto? How many bigger punchers are there at WW than Berto? Berto isn't grat but he's a good contender and Pacquaio isn't blasting that Berto out early

    Ortiz dominated aside for the KD round, you can't pick holes in that performance it was an excellent 1. If Ortiz didn't take a learning fight loss against Maidana he'd be P4P top10 ranked now on par with Khan/Bradley

    As a FMJ fan I'd prefer the risk/reward of the Pacquaio fight instead of a young bull but hopefully this happens as its a real fight either way even if it isn't the superfight
