    I didn't have to "try" brah. Facts are facts. You asked a question and provided the answer. Just b/c it didn't fit into your "agenda box" don't get all bent out of shape. Like I said....there are more fighters who are good or great enough to move up effectively...but those who are excpetional can do both.

    So did Floyd fight 95% of his fights in Vegas still?

    Huh?:huh Floyd Fights most of his fights in Vegas, yea. But I don't think that was the topic.

    Although Floyd busted Ricky's cherry, Pacquiao's KO is better because of
    o the size disparity in favor of Hatton
    o the weight where they fought at, again Hatton's stomping ground
    o how picture-perfect the knockout punch was--as impressive as Floyd's check hook was, Pacquiao's left bomb that landed is the stuff of legends

    You said Floyd fought 95% of his fights in Vegas.

    Floyd hasn't even had most of his fights in Vegas.

    You're answer was worthless because they were not even similar situations and you can't even prove your point. What is my agenda and why would I be bent out of shape?

    I knew Hatton said PBF would beat Manny but I didnt mention as I didnt think it was relevant to this topic.

    I can see why you think Manny win was more significant, it was a hell of a knock out but I think the fact that PBF was first to give Hatton a L and he dominated him on the way to it, with alot of hype and pressure. Even knocking him out with 10 oz gloves I was shocked. all those things made it more significant to me!

    Plus that check hook was a thing of beauty.....me and my boys were rolling after the shock of it had sunk in! :bbb

    Either way it's a pretty close call!

    LOL..I know...I just saw your response to my other post. You're right. Floyd doesn't have 95% of his fights in LV. I was just trying to make a point that Floyd in his present position is the MAN....along side with Manny. So they call the shots...where they fight, whom the fight ect. Floyd in his present postiion always chooses his hometown for fight b/c boxing has a lot of vested interest in the place Floyd calls home. most of his fights early on where all over the place....but Floyd hasn't really been on this level for all of his career where he can call the shots. Most of where Floyd fights now is in LV. 95% wasn't a real or valid statistic...whic I know you knew.

    You're opinion is what it is....so was mine homie. If my answer was worthless you sure as hell decided it was impotant enough to respond back.:lol: It wasn't me who didn't prove my point....it was me who responded to your post that had more holes than a block of swizz cheez in a mouse hole....you said who moves down in weight.....insinuating that NO ONE does move down in weight. I provided a list....a very small list of boxers who have. You didn't like it and got bent out of shape b/c it didn't fit your stance on the topic. I honestly can't tell you why you feel a certain way...that is a SoxNation issue.

    Mayweather's win, he dominated Ricky Hatton when Ricky was arguably top 5 but definitely top 10 P4P. Going into the fight they had a combined 81-0 record. Pacquiao's win while impressive was against a guy Mayweather had already dominated and was looking shot with his squeaker against Lazcano.

    There are plenty of fighters who have lost and came back better....unfortuately for Ricky he faught two of the best fighters in the sport back to back.....but just b/c a fighter looses to the best in a very competitive fight...from a phyiscal standpoint, doesn't mean that should take away from Manny's complete and utter destructions of Ricky at his BEST weight.

    But I respect your point...and stance on this. Both wins had their own great elements that made them a very good "Wins" for both Manny and PAC. Fans of the sport will see it both ways. I just think Manny's was more signifigant based on the way he won. Floyd "W" against Rick was great too....but in a different way.

    What were the holes in my statement? You still didn't prove me wrong, because those were completely different situations. What certain way do I feel? If you're going to say stupid things about "agendas" and then beat around the bush in your replies while refusing to answer, then please don't respond to my comments. I don't like interacting with children.

    Yea I just didnt feel he came back stronger, I think it was just hype he had no more skills that he was talking about, no head movement, Floyd Sr couldnt change what he had been doing all his boxing career in 1 yr, he was the same old Ricky but he just trained harder. (too hard)

    But I cant take anything away from Pac man he smacked him but I just think Ricky was a broken fighter after PBF!

    You said that no one moves down in weight....not true. I'm not even sure that you know what you are talking about b/c you are stating that I'm refusing to answer a question when there was never a question coming from you.:lol: You are throwing the word "stupid" out there freely when I'm not sure that coming from you is the smartest thing to do.:rofl

    Again....I never "forced" you to reply homie...if you don't like interacting with people your own age then I was offering you an intelligent alternative to the norm. Do with it what you want....I'm not here to twist your arm discuss anything especically if you feel it's out of your comfort zone.

    If you had any kind of intelligence (you don't) you would be able to understand I asked a question:
    How many fighters have moved down and instead of up? That is a question from where I come from. Did you miss the question mark?

    The other question I asked was:
    What was my agenda? You responded by avoiding the answer and instead making some dumb statement.

    You should really question your learning ability if you don't know what a question is. I'm just saying.
