Man, it's clearly styles that make up this issue. Floyd is more defensive base, thus, a lot more people care not to watch it or believe him as much when he says he's the best yet he's not really going out there putting on dominating performances. He might win a UD, but by dodging punches, hit and run. For the throwback boxing fans, they want to see warriors out there. Guys that throw punches, don't mind if they need to take a punch or 2 to land their own. Manny is able to do it where he might get hit a couple times, but nothing drastic and he goes on to dominate his opponent through his determination and sheer will. He overpowers his opponent with guns blazing. A heck of alot more exciting and more credible when you beat an opponent through the art of self defense, rather than just defense. If Floyd was a slick boxer who also went throwing punches in bunches and with more power behind them, I'm sure people would appreciate him more, but the fact that he runs his mouth like he's the best thing since slice bread and makes people walk out of his fights out of sheer boredom when he's outclassing an opponent yet doesn't put him away (Baldomir), it sorta makes you think, **** this guy. He talks and doesn't back it the way he should. Pacquiao doesn't say **** and leaves his opponents stone cold.
Why couldnt Pacquiao put away Marquez whom he dropped 4 times or Barrera, Larios whom he outclassed, nor Singsurat or Torrecampo who both demolished him?Comment

Look, Pacquiao's had more dominant/devastating performances against ELITE fighters than Floyd has. The way he shutout Barrera and TKOed him in first fight. The way he made us understand, ok Morales has nothing left on Pacquiao from the 2nd fight into the 3rd fight. The way he destroyed Diaz who ok, he isn't elite, but he moved up and didn't lack or look like he was facing a tuneup, he still fought with many improvements and looked sensational. Then Oscar, nough said. Floyd fights Zab, loses first half of fight and then although he begins to shut out Zab in 2nd half, it's ZAB, the guy is a mental breakdown case the moment things don't go his way. Baldomir, if he woulda let his hands go, maybe he could have gotten a TKO stoppage win. Oscar, well, Oscar COULD HAVE WON. A SD for Floyd and had Oscar kept the jab, he probably would have banked 1 more round to win it. I know you gonna say, well Manny can't beat Marquez, Manny can't beat Marquez. Yeah well, every great fighter has his rival, his nemesis that will go down in history as being that 1 guy that always gave him hell or trouble. Marquez is that guy, I don't care, I know it. But just don't get mad when I throw out the fact that Manny did beat him. A win is a win.Comment
