    well say what you will about what he does right and wrong in the ring...

    crazier things have happened then someone who started pro boxing at 16 showing signs of decline in his mid 30s.

    there was no decline.

    when he fought guys who were diminished by weight drain or coming off recent beat downs, he looked amazing.

    when he fought guys on equal terms...bradley, jmm...he lost. it's that simple.

    I look for him to look great against Rios a guy who's there to be hit and a guy who's tailormade for him.

    *****s are funniest fans in boxing. They talk about cherrypicking and tailormade when their hero ducked prime fighters for years. Fcuking hilarious!

    i'm still not sure about this one.

    brandon is not going to kill himself to make weight. that might work in his favor. i don't believe pac is the devastating puncher everyone makes him out to be. i've only seen rios hurt a couple times and i know in both instances he struggled to make weight. a move up in weight might be what the doctor ordered. if pac doesn't get him out early....it's going to be a long night for both.

    :lol: :nut

    Seriously, Mayweather and Pacman are the only two fighters in history who have basically beat up the same fighters or similar fighters over the same timeframe yet their seperate fan bases are absoultely convinced one is an absolute fraud and the other is the greatest. Just comical.

    He has declined since the Mosley fight.

    I am happy he took a long layoff though. I dont see how he can look as good as he did against Cotto though regarding his fight with Bam Bam.

    i'm not saying that pac is a fraud. he did what he was supposed to with the guys that were put in front of him. i didn't get overly excited knowing that some of those guys were coming off of recent beat downs or were weight drained. just like i can't get excited over floyd weight draining canelo....or getting busted up by a shop worn miguel cotto. it's all part of boxing...and neither pac nor floyd are cut from the same cloth as guys like duran, leonard, benitez, hearns or hagler.

    hes definitely slowed. I watched all his Marquez fights back to back a little while ago, and he slowed and dropped work rate considerably from first to third/fourth.
