You referenced Gatti-Ward earlier on in this thread.Gatti-Ward had a single exciting fight and two mediocre,one-sided fights that followed.In what way was that a better rivalry than Marquez and Pacquiao?
no sense on debating to a floyd nut-hugger and pac hater! see how his first reply on this thread? cotto, cw, bradley, geedy etc! lol!

lets not romanticize manny's greed and make this something it isn't.Originally posted by Big Dunn View Postliking floyd has nothing to do with evaluating two other fighters.

i just dont see how its a classic rivalry when fights 3 and 4 primarily happened for reasons other than the competition between the 2.

Originally posted by crold1 View PostSure, and I'm hardly alone. Almost everyone on this thread is telling you this is and has been a rivalry. Not sure what majority you're talking about, but there's a big one telling you what you're saying doesn't make much sense right about now.
The last two fights in this "rivalry" were criticized by many as unnecessary. Manny even said he didn't feel he had anything left to prove with JMM. if JMM doesn't go with TR, we don't even get the last 2 ****ing fights.
So yes, the out of the ring stuff has mitigated this for me.

Originally posted by sapaw View Postyeah, maybe tell that to yourself coz your first reply here in this thread is irrelevant, instead you always trying to discredit pac on his past wins and blame to Pac why Pac-Floyd never happened... its clear you have agenda and not about the Pac-Marquez as a candidate for One of the Boxing Greatest Rivalry...
this is simply a disagreement I have with the TS and some posters. no more, no less.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 12-10-2012, 05:55 PM.
