    Why did Manny go to sleep against a featherweight?

    Because for Marquez at 40 years old it took 4 fights to Knock Pacquiao down once, KO pacquiao & hire Angel Heredia.

    * Pacquiao 2-1-1 OFFICIALLY. :deal:deal

    True, Miguel Cotto & Shane Mosley isn't a skilled fighter.

    Because as soon as they even think about throwing they get punched in the face. Same reason fighters output drop against Floyd. Manny just doesn't get as much credit for boxing IQ as Floyd does. Pacquiao isn't the power puncher he is made out to be. Rios says Alvarado hit him harder and I believe it. Rios was just able to land a lot more on MA giving him more incentive to take damage in the effort of trying to win the fight.

    because the midget hits too hard and too fast


    if they dont turtle up they'd end up KO'd or ruined like Margarito

    Margo didn't turtle up much and he got ruined and sent into retirement

    Hatton didn't turtle up at all and got KTFO

    coincidence? I dont think so

    They would rather Clottey up rather than get Hattoned.

    I bet if most of those guys didn't have granite chins like they do, Pacquiao would have a lot more of highlight reel KO's to add to his collection

    Pac's power is no joke and is a risk to anyone's health. Floyd wants none of that

    Why did it take 4 fights for the Mehicano to finally knock a former flyweight down and finally knocking him out after hiring Heredia???


    Answer that :deal

    The Little Midget has been KO'd and is a 1 dimensional fighter but how come the Mayweathers feel threatened by this Little guy?

    Mayweather is undefeated, great defense, p4p king and the next BIG fight out there is against the Little man.

    :rofl:rofl Every time how someone says something about how Pacquiao got KO'd against Marquez I just say....


    Because for Marquez at 40 YEARS OLD it took him 4 fights to Knock Pacquiao down once, Knock Out pacquiao & hire Angel Heredia.
    Oh and by the way Marquez was bleeding badly from the nose and was ready to be put out by Pacquiao.

    Didn't Marquez denied VADA testing against Bradley?
    Pacquiao VADA testing against Rios and still brutalised Rios for 12 rounds. :deal

    * Pacquiao 2-1-1 OFFICIALLY against Marquez.

    very simple, because the little man not only punches hard, he's also fast as ****, awkward, explosive, a southpaw, and is a stamina monster when he trains.

    Mayweathers' flashy defense and footspeed that looks so good against flatfooted mexicans like Guerrero and Canelo won't look so good here

    Mayweather would be facing for the first time in his life somebody who is faster than him, with as much stamina as him, punches hard with both hands in combos etc. and Floydette wants none of that. too risky. It'd be bad for his health and that zero of his
