      JMM is a special fighter indeed. He is just now decided to fight far and above where he is great and out of his natural element. JMM is now very vulnerable.


      if JMM was a legit welter, PBF-JMM wouldnt be happening

            Juan Manuel Marquez is more skilled by a huge margin

              in terms of combo's, counterpunching, movement, footwork, fighting in the pocket, accuracy, setting up your own punches and just about every other aspect of boxing skill JMM is a better fighter.

              however cotto might be as good when it comes to timing his shots. also in his last few fights he has shown that he is much more than a come forward brawler with a great left hook.

              vs SSM he showed a good jab and was accurate with it he used it to set up his other punches, vs clottey he showed good lateral movement late in the fight to avoid clottey punches and get off with his own. maybe cotto has more skill than he shows.

              but even in these two categories JMM trumps him.

                only kellerman can answer this question, being that he's the author of that ridiculous statement.

                    Honestly it was Pacquiao's ability to knock JMM that helped him get the draw and the win. I am a huge fan of both, and personally I think JMM won both times. However if there were no knockdowns in the first fight it would have been JMM by a wide UD, and their rematch would have been a draw.
                    Well you cannot really go by that. If Manny did not knock JMM down, JMM may have fought the fight differently. JMM got hurt, fought desperate and fought well doing it.

                    The Problem with JMM and Manny, is that both guys can time the **** out of each other. Both guys exposed the little weaknesses in the other. I had the first fight a Manny win and the second fight a draw. Both were extremely close and both of them put on a great display.

                      Not as ridiculous as "Paul Williams is a Combination of Tommy hearns JCC and Joe Calzaghe altogether"
