    well you were implying earlier that James Toney was a taxi driver. and I assumed you didn't know James Toney because you don't talk boxing outside of Pacquiao

    I prefer watching excellent technique & I found a lot of Pacquiao`s appeal came from his recklessness & physical attributes as opposed to technical ability, I actually enjoy watching Mayweather more than Pacquiao because he`s more of an artist... with Morales tho, you get crazy fights AND great boxing technique for the most part.

    Cleaned out the division? He hasn't beaten Floyd, Berto, Jones, Ortiz...lol, how the **** did he clean the division out? Tony wasn't even ranked when Manny beat him, SSM had already been beaten and dropped in raninkings?

    Great point, when I think "Taxicab drivers" Hopkins and Toney are the first cats that come to mind. ****ing ******...it's pathetically sickening.

    Sometimes you go to your prom in a limo. RJJ went to his prom and was invited to another. All other times, he took the taxi. Fights with the likes of Hopkins and Toney do not make up the majority of RJJ's career. Just watch his highlights videos (Hopkins doesn't even appear in them). Most fans will recognise Toney and Virgil Hill. The rest may well have been asking you inside their yellow car, "Where are you going today, sir?"

    Not me, a one sided Beating is not the reason I watched Boxing, I can watch a highlight reel of any fighter, but is is nowhere near as exiting as a back and forth war, watching a fighter just destroy opposition is like watching them hitting the body bag, that's not my preferred type of Boxing art. But I do find Tyson's one sided beat downs more exciting than Pac's I guess is because most ended within a few rounds and didn't last long enough to pissed me off, to me very one sided beat downs are some of the worst things in Boxing.

    I don't find Roy's fights exciting to be honest, he was just way ahead of most of his opposition, same with Pac, but when Pac fought Marquez, and Morales, that's when all 3 shined, Without Morales and Marquez even Cotto for those 5 great rounds, Pac's career would not have his top 4 most exiting fights.

    vs Morales 1 and 2
    vs Marquez 1 and 2

    Morales in the other hand, has

    vs Barrera 1 and 3
    +
    vs Pac 1 and 2


    Marquez himself has, the tow Pac fights, the Barrera fight and the Diaz and Katsidis fight. So is Pac easily the most exiting since Tyson? Far from that imo, if you think that, you just don't watch too much Boxing, or just started following Boxing since Pac became a known fighter.

    Froch? Seriously? Can any of you mention Froch fight as exiting as the most exiting, Morales, Vasquez, and Arce fights? I have yet to see why people think Froch is so exiting, all of his fights have nothing on a Vasquez vs Marquez fight, maybe you have never seen any of the smaller fighters fight, those lower divisions from 135 and down, give us by far the most fights in Boxing, been the same for years!
