ur a total idiot,the only floyd fan is you as ive never said a single good thing about floyd in my posts, u have floyd in urass and ur mouth since he brought ur midget boy down with out even landing a punch, the clottey fight is a ****ty fight period idiot. to give pac the advantage over mosley is another idiot opinion, if pac could beat mosley theydve fought him by now instead of ****en around with all these junior fights.even roach himself has said we are weary of fiten mosley" we dont need that fight" uhuh i wonder why, he kick urass!!!

Fucking jackass. You are an embarrassment to boxing fans everywhere.ing

haha, i knew that would get that type of reaction. I know the difference between Japanese and Filipinos, i was just messing with you. (Japanese have the best Asian food by far! Just saying.)

I'm also looking forward to both fights but, if you enjoy the technical side of boxing; there is no question that the Mayweather bout is head an shoulders above the upcoming Pacman bout.

Manny vs Clottey I agree will be entertaining in its own regard but this is the equivalent of Mayweather vs Boldamir. A speed demon vs a guy who doesn't move well and can eat lots of punches. Its quite the let down considering its Mayweather that Pacman was suppose to fight.

I agree with the thing about Japanese food.

For the record though, I'm not Japanese. I've been here since October though and I may be here to stay.

ittl be fun to watch manny on the heavy bag for 12rnds, for 50 bucks,im busting out the chips salsa and beer for this one.

Yeah, true boxing fans only care to watch one fight a year. And Clotty is a bum. He's got, what, 3 losses? Against fellow bums too.. SD against Cotto, decision loss to Margarito (I don't give a **** that he had a broken hand), and a DQ in a fight he was "winning" against Baldomir, who is incidentally the great champion who the messiah Floyd dethroned.

Real fighters have no losses, regardless of whether or not they actually fight anyone. This is why Floyd is the greatest ever.

How many losses does Shane have? And who were the people he lost to? Oh, that's right, one of his losses was with Cotto.

I was mistaken----*****s and *******s sound sincere when they make those kinds of statements. My apologies.

[xpsm24]

Yeah, Yeah!!! We know Freddie and Bob, Pac can even beat Tyson and Ali in there prime, in the same ring at the same time. Old news, be careful, DONT UNDERESTIMATE!!!

FUNNY YOU FAILED TO MENTION HIS LOSS TO BALDOMIR...THE SAME GUY MAYWEATHER WON EVERY ROUND AGAINST!

[TOBYLEE1]

From all the others contenders Clottey is a good pick, but Freddie knows the strength of his fighter and it is why this is happening. Don't see them ever putting Pac against a fast right hand puncher.
