    He believes in God and no matter what these posters type here (which I skipped over to post my reply because I don't want to upset myself), it can't be refuted or taken away by typing on a keyboard on this forum. He believes in God and none of these posts here will change anything regarding that

    Floyd has recognized that aura when he demolished the likes of dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clotttey, and Margarito. That's why he's afraid to fight him.
    Other boxers want to fight him only for $$$$.

    Behind his aura of invincibility are The very influential Floyd Mayweather Jr. hating media, the ever contradicting and hypocritical Freddie Roach, and a greedy old ******* named Bob.

    People seem to forget that Manny only fought at 106 when he was a kid. His body hadn't developed yet. He's too fast for these guys and he has solid power. He's immensely conditioned so he continues to throw for round after round. It has nothing to do with his size. That's why Floyd has been able to do basically the same. Floyd has too much speed and way too much skill. There's no invincibility. If he fights a fighter closer to his level, (no offense to his recent competition) he won't look quite as invincible.

    I agree with this. I don't care what people say, even though Hatton may not have been the best fighter in the division he was the true linear champion. While I won't go all out saying Cotto is the same fighter he was a few years back, he is far from shot and this was the only time recently where I thought this may have been a fight just too dangerous.

    Pac had all the technical/youth advantages against De La Hoya, with the only question mark being if Oscar would win simply on being bigger. While it is in no way Pac's fault, Oscar's team really stuffed up the rehydration - makes absoulutely no sense that Pacquiao could weigh in heavier than Oscar on fight night which combined with starving your body to drop weight over 10 weeks was just too much.

    Nobody gave Diaz a chance, Clottey went exactly as most people had predicted, and Margarito was never a fair matchup to begin with - and received appropriate fan backlash for it.

    His new form style of fighting, he's now a technical brawler. His best punch now I believe is his right hook and no longer his straight left. He doesn't just come at you and throw everything anymore, he bounces forward and back, bob and weave left and right, pick his spot and unleash a barrage of deadly punches.

    This and he kept a speed the bigger guys just aren't used to.

    Put Manny's speed and abilities aside for a moment and consider the fact that the welterweight division Manny entered was the aftermath of the legendary showdowns of 2007-2008. And truth is even his big "middleweight" fight was against a welterweight. Manny hit the scene at the right time. I'm not hating. He's my favorite fighter at the moment. His tremendous natural abilties and skill are just slicing through everybody at the moment. Is he invincible? Hell no.

    I favor Pac against Mayweather but Mayweather could very likely beat Pac.
    I think Martinez beats Pac but I don't think the fight gets made. He's too big and too good.
    Berto hasn't faced any tough challenges so I give this fight wholly to Pac. However Berto does possess a great style to beat Pac. Just can't see it happening as green as Berto is.

    I think its the fact that he's only lost 1 round on all three scorecards in his last 6 fights.

    When you lose 1 out of a scheduled 72 rounds, it gives that aura
