    When u bring up the fact that Pac demolished both Hatton and Oscar in much more devastating fashion than Floyd, the first thing out of thier mouth is....."Pac beat Floyd's leftovers"

    If that's the case, isnt Marquez Pac's leftovers? Although both matches with Pac were closer than Marquez's battle with Mayweather, Marquez sustained much more punishment and abuse throughout his 24rounds with Pac.

    Double standard here??? :huh

    I can't speak for everyone. However, I'm a Floyd fan and I don't rate his win against Marquez very highly. At the same time, I rate that win extremely high for Pac. Marquez wasn't a Pac leftover, but he was at a youth, size, speed, skill, and talent disadvantage. It was a tuneup fight for Floyd. The fight resembled a sparring session.

    100% agree! I always stated as soon as that fight with Floyd and JMM was announced that JMM had no chance. And I never say there is "NO CHANCE" regarding boxing....b/c anything can happen. But given the facts you posted......JMM was older, smaller, slower, at a skill and talent disadvantage that JMM was pissing up stream if he wasn't drinking it first. And it definitly looked like a sparring session....JMM has no business fighting above 140.

    Floyd could stand to get more credit.....not from his followers but from the "casual Fans". PAC could stand to get more credit from sour fanatics of past PAC victims......And for some reason Floyd followers have it out for PAC as well. PAC doesn't need any more credit from his ******* nation fans that is for sure.

    I actually like Pac. I've been an admirer of his since the Lewada fight. He's a hell of a fighter, and he keeps getting better. That being said, I'm still not picking him to beat Floyd. And let's not act like Pac fans don't have it out for Mayweather. In fact, every fan except Floyd fans seem to have it out for Money May.:lol:

    Floyd VS JMM was a WAR according to some posters like Rooney and EllerbeP4P

    No doubt.....boxing fans as a whole seem to be very protective of certain fighters when they identify with them. PAC fans seem to be the most protective and most enthusiastic.....but they do have good reason especially given the fact that Manny keeps defying all odds. I got Money by a decision myself.

    You hear Floyd brag about how he disposed of Marquez in easier fashion than Pac, yet when u bring up how Pac dismantled both Oscar and Hatton in better fashion than Floyd, he (floyd) brings out the excuse book!

    Well lets see Maywheather thoroughly dominated Marquez without using size but speed and raw skill while Manny barley got a draw and a win. Floyd took on De La Hoya who out weighed him and was not forced to drain himself. An Oscar who was really focused and really still in the game. Floyd dominaated that fight. Oscar was only predicted to beat Pacquio if Pac was not ready at the weight. However I differ my arguement in favor of Pac in the Hatton fight. Sure Floyd got to him first but when does being undefeated matter. Hatton rebounded got a huge win over Malinaggi and seemed to make the kind of adjustments he nedded after the Floyd fight. Then Pacquio beat a new and improved Hatton. I like Floyd but I to be honest usually root against him. I like Pac and root for or against him about 50 50. I was impressed with him beating Cotto but I think people are really jumping on a crazy bandwagon right now. I still favor floyd in a fight
