    lol all the normal Manny fans fckd off when Manny flunked out it was mental devastation for them, they don't tell Reuters how many were found hanging off a coconut tree when Manny bombed out, the 2/3 chronic haters left in here are fanboy weirdos only their location stops them being a Mark Chapman, they have real issues no doubt about it

        Oh yeah, I don't blame them I was scared for Manny, he hit the floor like a dropped pie by a guy Floyd toyed with, I thought he was dead I was worried for him.

        Thats why they never want to discuss Mannys resume with Floyds they hate having to compare their fights head to head, there is way too much fault in Mannys with 8 loses to guys Floyd wouldn't drop a round to, Manny would have 10-12 losses if he fought Floyds resume from 130 up, Manny was a great champion that will go in the history books he just was not as good as Floyd, that's why he lost 8 times while Floyd proved to be the best fighter of his era, the haters just cant handle it.

          4x vs JMM and each one was a walk with death for Pac.

          Pac and his worshippers are lucky the fight didn't happen when it should have (oh, but Pac's excuses, though )
          Needed to build a perfect outdoor stadium !!!!

          PBF would have ruined him and Arum knew this.

          I love it when they say May was a cherry picker.....
          Being a Pac fan has destroyed reality for them.

            I have watched boxing for 48 years & have never heard of Charley Burley will look him up if he is real.Leonard had a great chin (which no one talks about) & Hearns also came in at 145 on weigh in 2 pounds under the weight limit .2 pounds doesn't sound like a lot but in boxing it is a lot & consider Hearn's was 6'`1 & a half it means a lot more specially in a 15 round champion ship fight.I do not want to take anything away from Leonard who was also one of the greatest WW of all time.

                Difference Pacquaio fought the best fighters in his weight division (all 8) & fought them when they were in their prime.When Floyd fights big named opponents they are almost always well past their prime.The Floyd vs Pacquaio fight could have happen after Pacquaio KO Hatton but Floyd would go on making excuses after excuses for 7 years & then when the pressure got to be to much & Pacquaio was well past his prime ( Pacquaio style of fighting is for the young) where his quick reflexes & fast foot work & side to side movement were no longer.Pacquaio was well past his prime when he was Ko against Marquez (Marquez one of the greatest Mexican boxers of all time) If boxing has proved one thing it is you can't compare what one fighter does against another .Floyd easily handle Marquez which Pacquaio didn't do.Well maybe because both Floyd & Marquez are both defensive fighters who like to counter.Pacquaio is all about offence & is the reason why the Marquez vs Floyd was extremely boring compared to the 4 Pacquaio vs Marquez fights.Floyd never fought Pacquaio when he was in his prime because he knew he had little chance of winning.Floyd promotes his own fights for a reason,he only takes fights he knows he can win.It is hard to say how good Mayweather really is because he didn't have the mind set like Leonards,Hearns,Arguello,Hagler Durans etc.These guys wanted to be considered the best so they fought the best & this is why they all had losses on their record.Even Oscar fought the best of his era Quartey,Trinidad,Mosley,Hopkins.All great fighters lose because they fought other great fighters & this is something Floyd can't lay claim to.The great Robinson went 93 fights straight with out losing & just 1 loss in his first 129 fights & he is the reason we have the P4P phrase.He won the middle belt 5 times & at a time when there was only 1 belt for each division so you had to fight the best to win the belt & then defend against the best.Robinson didn't even move up to middle weight until he was 29.Robinson-Ali-Louis-Hagler were all great fighters & Floyd isn't in the same league,Pacquaio is.

                    Thanks.I am 55 & have been watching boxing religously for 48 of those years.Remember when he fought Mosley who was 39 years old at the time & rocked Floyd twice with his right hand imagine Mosley 8-10 years younger what would have happen to Floyd.I just think Mosley at 39 just didn't have the timing,endurance or Heart to pull it off.Floyd is one of the most over rated boxers of all time & is hard to judge how good he was because of his opponents or lack there of.He did fight good boxers but most were well past there prime.The fight against Castillo their first fight most believe Floyd lost & copy box numbers all show he did lose punches landed by Castillo 203 Floyd landed 157.Floyd landed 35% of his punches Castillo landed 40% of his punches.Castillo was the one coming forward 90% of the time.The 3 Judges for the fight were Asian & European who are known to favour the boxer.I did have Floyd winning the rematch.When we do see Floyd fight good fighters in their prime the fights are always very close like with Cotto & his 2 fights with Madana.Hearns at 147 or 154 easily Knocks Floyd out.There was no bigger puncher at 147 than Hearns & if he Knocked Duran Cold than Floyd would be of little to no problem.

                      Well you know he steered his career away from those fighters so prime Hearns, Floyd would either be retired or on vacation
