The same Williams that Floyd ducked

When was Floyd a one punch ko artist

Oh yeah I forgot when he sucker punched that c fighter Ortiz.

It's obvious to everybody except for Floyd boys that he ducked him for a reason

No one here has ever claimed Floyd was a one punch KO artist. Shifting goalposts yet again. The typical manure.

To quote you, “It's obvious to everybody except for Floyd haters that Ortiz headbutted him twice and then punched Floyd when they were being separated which resulted in Floyd knocking him the phũck out.”

Of course, you never saw the headbutts or the illegal punch.

Pac’s upcoming bout with Barrios is not a money grab. Manny sincerely believes that even at age 46; He can still compete with these younger guys.

None of the guys since he has turned 40 has ever been able to either hurt or dominate him. Moreover, non of them has even been able to knock him down.

If Pacquiao could still see the punches coming. Then he can win this fight. It is not impossible or unlikely. However, he would need to pace himself by not tiring himself out.

So why are you referencing Williams being one punch ko'd in a higher weight class.

"Hold up! The same Williams that was vaporized by a singular Sergio Martinez spectacular punch? That one?"

Lol. Floyd wasn't even breaking down and stopping lw fighters who moved up to ww

Williams was a natural ww that Floyd fake retired to duck. Same for Margarito

his reflex and timing has gone down hill.. his punches also doesnt seem like it packs a punch anymore.. he landed some clean shots on ugas but ugas wasnt phase by it. he doesnt have the same power anymore. i hope manny juice up big time in this fight. a-side meth makes a come back!! i think manny will have some moments where he catches barrios but i dont see him doing much to barrios. after the 4th-5th round, i see pac slowing down.

manny said that in the ugas fight. his head wasnt there because there was drama going on behind the scene with paradigm, because they were trying to stop his fight with spence... he said ugas was so slow in the ring but he just couldnt move his feet like he wanted too... he blame it on lack of focus during training but keep it a buck, it's because he's old now and he's not the same fighter anymore! he couldnt move his feet like how he wanted because his body aint the same no mo!

heart tells me to go with pacquiao... i mean he made a career beating up on mexican fighters (no disrespect to the raza) but my head tells me otherwise.

If I have to explain that statement, you’ve got bigger problems than I imagined.
But I will try - Williams was KO’d by a single punch. That’s the same Williams that supposedly could beat Floyd but couldn’t beat Martinez.

Margarito was beat up like a pińata by an old Mosley but somehow he could beat Floyd.

Why couldn’t Williams beat Martinez if he was that good that Floyd ducked him?
Why couldn’t PAC beat Marquez if he was that good that Floyd ducked him? If anything, he was brutally KO’d by a guy that Floyd toyed with.

It’s amazing how you can duck the point I made about Ortiz headbutting Floyd and the illegal punches. Incredible!

That makes no sense at all for all the reasons I explained you must don't read for comprehension.

I agree. He has slowed down. For example, in his last fight with Ugas; He kept getting hit repeatedly by the same punch over and over again without any head movement.

The reason why was because he didn’t see those punches coming. Now just imagine if Yordenis had any type of real punching power?

I am not picking Pacquiao to win. All I am saying is that if he can keep this fight a chess match rather than a firefight. Then he has a much better chance of winning it.

I miss the prime Manny days. Man, he was an electric fighter. And the atmospheres at his events were always incredible. He's obviously one of the greats.

Going to be weird seeing him back at 45 or 46 or whatever. That's insane. He didn't look good in the Ugas fight, and that was like four years ago. Hard to believe that he has gotten better since then.
