    I can gurantee Floyd wouldn't have faced a PRIME DLH at 147 either! That's not a knock....b/c DLH was a best at 147....along with Shane and Forrest! That was a great time for the WW division with a lot of depth by way of talent and competition.

    It was a left uppercut that knocked down Cotto in the 4th

    PBF+elite fighter = mediocre PBF. Refer to Oscar & Castillo.

    Honestly this is a silly thread, JMM is a completely different type of fighter to PBF.

    We wont be having this talks if one of the judges scored the fight correctly in the 1st PAC-JMM battle and PAC should have scored 2 knockdowns in the 2nd fight.

    This mediocre fighter is bringing boxing back into public interest: Time Magazine, the New York Times, The Examiner, and in all offices and backrooms across the globe (ok. that last one was a hesitant generality). But damn, this guy is doing what real sportsmen should be doing: giving credit where it's due, acting as a respectful ambassador of the sport.

    If he is mediocre against the top competition, then logically, he shouldn't win. The man has flaws and he carries it with grace.

    Exactly right! But all that is water under the bridge. JMM got a gift draw and they got it right in the 2nd fight even though they didn't count the 2nd KD for Manny,

    I have another question for the Pac fans. Why did Pac choose Cotto over Sugar Shane? Shane was willing to give in to the catchweight and the money. Cotto got beaten bad by Margerito and had a bad cut with Clottey and Roach also demanded a catchweight. In Pacs last three fights Roach has stated something wrong with each fighter. Why put your fighter in with these damaged fighters and when he wins he has accomplished a great task. It is more of a question than disrespect. Please explain

    according to bob arum toprank fighters fighting each other makes a lot of $en$e. Nobody will give pac credit if he beats a drained mosely anyways...

    pacquiao has improved since the first marquez fight but he still is open for counters. and with a guy like mayweather(the most accurate puncher in the game) hes going to get hit with more counters then ever before.

    As I watched this video and listened to the song, I got up and started doing the "Running Man." I then effortlessly went into the "Robot" mode and finished with a twirling, double flip. I finished the song off with a back spin and the crowd went wild......























    On another note, great video! It's a shame that JMM didn't get the nod in those fights. He beat PacMan in a close and competitive matchup, but he clearly beat PacMan twice. Oh well.

    You better ask yourself first...

    Why would it take pac first for fight a true blue welterweight in the likes of cotto earlier than PBF. As far as we all know, pbf has been WW for the longest time compared to pac?!

    PBF is busy fighting a bloated 135pounder!!!!:rofl:lol::rofl

    PRIOR TO HIS RETIREMENT and PRIOR to the Cottovs MARGARITO FIGHT

    There were 4 GOOD reputable names in the WW but NONE of them was in the resume of PBF

    There were once upon a time.. COTTO, MARGARITO, MOSLEY and WILLIAMS! ALL WERE WW's but PBF did not fight anyone of them.

    When he came back! He fought a BLOATED JMM who only had 2 figths under 135lbs then jumped to weight divisions up!

    and the funniest thing is that PBF fans celebrate and FOOLING THEMSELVES as if pbf defeated the BEST of what JMM can offer! :lol::D:lol:
