Excuses, excuses, excuses......
Manny's been KO'd before this, granted this last KO was as catastrophic a KO as I've seen in a while, but he has tasted fresh canvas before. Maybe the new excuse is going to be "Manny wasn't hungry enough," fine, okay. I think it would be more efficient if fans consolidated all of the excuses that way they could make it seem like there is one good and accessible reason why Manny was put into a coma.
Why can't the reason be the obvious one, Manny was slipping, got caught with a solid punch and got stretched? The more elaborate the excuse and the more it favors Manny not doing something as opposed to what his opponent did right, the more I must conclude that there are a set of people that refuse to open their eyes.
When or if Mayweather gets laid out, I will not come to this site to make excuses for him. A professional fighter that gets into the ring but isn't completely motivated to win is an utter moron.

I can just see Manny getting knocked out again and this time it will be really bad for his legacy. He's not going to be the same. He's going to be more careful and that's why he will lose in a rematch. Manny needs to either fight one more time against maybe Bradley, and then retire or retire now. Manny's real career ended the night he got knocked out.

Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostFormer IBF junior middleweight champion Roman Karmazin said the most impressive performance of the entire year was Juan Manuel Marquez's sixth round knockout of Manny Pacquiao on December 8th in Las Vegas. Karmazin, who retired last year after suffering a bad knockout at the hands of Osumanu Adama, says Pacquiao could end up like Roy Jones Jr. if he continues to fight on. Jones was never the same after suffering a knockout defeat to Antonio Tarver in 2004. Jones has continued to fight but suffered several more crushing knockout defeats.

Originally posted by hitking View PostExactly how does Pac getting his brain sent into orbit by a former Mayweather victim hurt Floyd's legacy? I mean, as it stands now, JMM is sitting on top of his little rivalry with Pac. And if my memory serves me correct, Floyd fought and fought quite well against the winner of the rivalry. At one time, Mayweather-Pacquaio was needed because we thought it was a match-up the best two fighters of the era. Well, as it turns out, Floyd and JMM are the best two fighters of the era. They fought, Floyd won, end of story. He's the best of his time.
Mayweather wanted no part of Pacquiao, Marquez didn't need ANY EXTRA TESTS to beat the guy.

Originally posted by StrangerInTown View PostIf Roy had earned Pac type cash, he would probably not even be bothering with HBO color commentary.
Fighters who earn and save go on to live lives.
Pac will finish on a victory and finally follow the path of Lennox, the best example of a pugilist who knew when his expiration date was up and honored it.
The big loser here is Mayweather.
He never fought Manny, his legacy will take a heavy hit for it and he lost 40 million as a result of the evasion.
And by the way.
The Ghost has more than a ghost of a chance should Floyd get brave and take Robert before the Gingerly money.

Originally posted by Skittlez View PostThere is a difference though.
Plankquiao PRIOR to his brutal embarrassing KO took massive punishment and still displayed a very good chin. Some say even Granite.
Roy Jones Jr PRIOR to his brutal embarrassing KO NEVER took punishment or hard shots..
Pac has proven that his chin is good- not saying that it will remain good but Roy actually never showed his chin was anything but pure glass..... prior to Tarver.
I am very certain Roy's chin was always weak, it was just his supreme reflexes + the fact he never fought the bigger punchers which got him out of trouble before.
