Sports Illustrated article critical of Floyd

Watch more Boxing. Just sayin'.

 

There is never a asterisk next to the name of people because of who they didn't fight. Will it be sad if they don't fight, hell yeah, will it tarnish either career upon reflection? Nope.

Manny's work was done north 130 on inferior comp. such as fighting the weakest champ at 135 in David Diaz when there were legit champs at the weight. Then jumping up to 140 and fighting Hatton, who had already been KO'd by Mayweather, arguably beaten by Collazo, struggled against Urango, and practicly KO'd by Lazcano. You look at work at 147, he used catchweights to fight champs Cotto for his title (a paper one at that, seeing that Cotto arguably lost to Clottey), Fights underachiever Clottey, and then fights a Margarito coming off suspension and at a catchweight.

History really looks at those things more than what could of happend.

 

Listening to a Floyd Mayweather fan criticise Pacquiao's level of competition makes me want to kill myself.

 

Why? Floyd either fought the same comp first or fought that comp without draining them at catchweights.

The only person you could cry about is JMM, but now Manny is about to fight JMM at 147 just like Floyd did, so the same criticism you would give Floyd you have to apply to Manny.

 

Pac is going to be mentioned right along with the Jack Johnson's, Ali's, Robinson's, durab's Leonard's ect.....ect Pac is the only fighter since Ali to be a champion as well as a political figure and the only fighter since Tyson to have such a dynamic global impact that he's recognized all around the world.

 

Maybe in the PHillipines, in the US Pac has nowhere close to the hype and publicity that Prime Jack Johnson, Ali, Robinson, Duran, Leonard, or Oscar had. It is just a simple fact.

 

Somebody throw me a noose.

 

If I"m terribly wrong, please let me know and correct me.

 

If you don't already know, I can't help you.

 

Just post your opinion, it is ok, nothing to be afraid of.

 

I've been posting on ESB for a long time. I know a lost cause when I see one.

You picked Manny to beat Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, and Mosley then?

 

The only common opponents that pac has faced are Oscar, Ricky, Shane and Juan.... All men at least 2 divisions higher in weight... Men who were the same size as Floyd. DLH wasn't a catchweight fight... It was a welter weight fight. Cotto, Josh and Marg are all top welters Floyd failed to fight yet Pac faced and dominated. So while there are some common opponents between the two.... Pac had limited options that were viable options... Mind you Pac's been a welter half the time and has dominated twice as many than Floyd.

And neither pac or Floyd have or will face jmm at 147.

 

whatever dumb ****...he is in his 10th weight divison....yeah man he sucks....
