Since the Pac fight this forum has reached all new incredible lows...

Dear larrysmith

Kind regards

I appreciate the art and the fights of professional boxing

I DON'T appreciate fighters who are totally hungry and obsessed with money that it comes to the point that they don't care what the fans want to see.

Thank you for understanding

in boxing where fighters actually die...id want the most money i could make aswell..you're not the on in the ring fighting

how many non-youtube pernell fights have you watched?

NONE. As in zero. As in, Money May rules.

For Quis??

The two best fighters of the past 20-30 years are

Sugar ray Leonard
Pernell Whitaker

Pernell aint above Duran...

Would you be able to handle it if Floyd actually lost? Im not hatin and I dont think you'd jump ship on him but could you handle knowing hes not the best?

losing doesnt mean you're not the best..srr lost 19 times and is considered the best of alltime..true champions bounce back from defeat..im a floyd fan for life

Pernell aint above Duran...

To me, Pernell Whitaker is a better fighter than Roberto Duran.

Somehow Manny's success has created a new rift between Floyd haters and Floyd lovers.

HUH?

I'm sorry but did Floyd fight on Saturday? NO. Manny did. Can we talk about him for a moment?

A few thoughts:


For Mayweather groupies:
-This fight is the most talked about since Hatton vs. Mayweather BUT it seems more mainstream. For some reason it was talked about during NBA games, on random radio stations, on ESPN and there was an on the street buzz I have not heard for a while. Tons of casual sports fans and WOMEN that I know saw it. You have to credit Manny for this in the US. He has surpassed Mayweathers popularity in terms of mainstream recognition right now or is at least very equal to it. DEAL WITH IT. Give pac his props

For the Mayweather haters:
-Why are you comparing who is more exciting? Is this SOMETHING NEW? Manny has always been more of an action fighter than Floyd. It's unfortunate that both sides are obsessed with him but are you guys really using triangle theories to predict a possible Floyd vs. Pac showdown? I hope not. How soon will a lot of you say Pac was too tiny if Floyd beats him? Don't answer this one, we all know the truth.

The irrationality on both sides is equal parts embarrassing, sad and amusing. Stop it.

Try to think about matchups not whoever you love or hate. Peace and hugs.

i appreciate both fighters, but a lot of mayweather huggers are jealous of the pacman hype. why isn't floyd getting recognition the way pac is, and the answer is simple. his resume, humbleness and ferocious style of fighting.

1. I'm not an avid Whitaker fan.

2. The rest of your post is irrelevant - I repeat:

Last night you said Whitaker didn't have a great resume.

An hour later you said it wasn't top 20.

Today you said it wasn't top 10.

Pack it in, bud.

Its not top 10 or 20 but it is a fine resume...

Humility.

think about this makavelli, whitaker is a legend, fought everyone, did everything you could do with his small frame. He was hated about as much as pbf was and had even less class. This pretty much proves people care about style and personality more than they do resume, you match whitaker up with any fighter in history from 135 to 147 and he has a shot, but again, he was hated like crazy. guys like whitaker were a one of a kind of nobody gave a ****, check my thread on this subject.

You switch up more times than a bisexual, dude. I think your posts say it all.
