    Ok so what? He had always planned to fight on cinco de mayo. It wasn’t some last minute change.

    Manny was just scared to lose. He didn’t want to fight. Nothing you can blame on Floyd.

    Manny said what he was good to go. When it became clear the fight could go on he suddenly made the fake stitches decision from his promoter’s son in law. Can’t blame that on Floyd.

    Like you said in 2013 he wasn’t shot or shopworn. He had a better chance to win but didn’t take it.

    He never took the chance when according to you and other ball gurgler fans he had a better chance to win.

    Its because he and his team clearly didn’t believe he could beat Floyd.

      At this point , all this back and forth hasn’t changed a thing. I went to the list again and the top 2 are:

      1. Floyd Mayweather

      2. Manny Pacquiao

      Only good thing that has come out of all that wasted arguing was the passive admission that Manny didn’t want the fight in 2013 because he “didn’t want to be associated with felons”.

      I guess for now I will just wait for the next list where Floyd is ranked #1 again.

      Maybe by then certain Manny nut gobbling stans will be ok with Manny being the clear #2 of Floyd’s generation and will have matured enough to accept Manny’s loss to Floyd like an adult should.

      Frankly, being #2 to an ATG like Floyd is a great accomplishment. It’s just too bad so many on NSB can’t just be happy about that, especially given the fact that Manny came from nothing.

      Instead they hate Floyd so much and are so upset he beat Manny they want to lower his ranking.

      Really Sad and pathetic.

        He planned on making excuses to duck Manny

          Manny has lists where he is on top

          Floyd is 1 when it comes to cherrypicking though

            Floyd admitted he was always scared of Manny he said on video he was a scared coward and his pops told him he was scared

              No he doesn’t. That should be ok with you.

              Sadly, you’re one of the Manny nut gobbling stans not ok with Manny being the clear #2 of Floyd’s generation. You have not matured enough to accept Manny’s loss to Floyd like an adult should.

              Frankly, being #2 to an ATG like Floyd is a great accomplishment. It’s just too bad you can’t just be happy about that, especially given the fact that Manny came from nothing.

              Instead you hate Floyd so much and are so upset he beat Manny you want to diminish his ranking.

              In the end, just like all the other polls, Floyd is the best boxer of his generation. Manny #2.

              Just wish Manny’s fans like you could celebrate this accomplishment.

              You can have the last word. It will not change this ranking or any other.

                Yes he does. We already provided proof no need to do it again

                  It's pretty simple: together they created the biggest fight in history. No one takes a flat fee in this scenario.

                    r.
                    You should be ok with Manny being ahead of Floyd on lists but apparently it pains you

                    Floyd proved you can cherrypick your way to the top if you avoid the guys you can lose to until they are 30% or less risk

                      That was years later.

                      We just disagree. He absolutely could’ve taken the deal if he believed he would win. If you believe you don’t win, you don’t take it and wait for more. IMO that is what he did.

                      I am confident if this was reversed, not you, but a large segment would have said Floyd should’ve just taken the deal.
