Floyd had ran out of Japanese kickboxers to cherrypick so he went in the old rolodex and found a guy who boxed 30 years ago to keep the no risk streak alive
May took Hatton's soul. Purely demoralizing. May didn't need saving.
If you think Pac fought the better versions of DLH* (and shot), Cotto*, Mosley (shot) and JMM (4x !), there's not much to say.
A person doesn't have to be a fan of either guy to acknowledge the truth.
Facts. It’s obvious Manny fans are very limited when it comes to boxing knowledge. They shouldn't even be bringing up the Cotto or Oscar fight. Two embarrassing cherry-picks. Anthony Mundine beat Mosley better than both Floyd and Manny but that doesn’t mean he’s better. Most Pacquiao fans are just trolls anyway.
You don't think what he did to Margarito was exceptional? All titles aside, the weight favored Marg. Heavy pressure and Manny backed him and basically ended his career by breaking his face. The Manny that fought that version of Marg had a better chance at Floyd than post JMM 4 Manny.
manny looked like a prime physical specimen when he beat margarito
Was able to throw his career high number of punches due in part to margarito style
that volume isn’t there vs guys who can move and counter like Marquez and Floyd

90% of Pac fans come from a country with very few athletes to look up to or root for.
The other 10% are May haters and not necessarily Pac fans.
