    If you believe that statement, then what is your impression of manny's win's VS the EXACT same guys, except the black americans that his whole p4p status is built on?

      so is Mosley another hand picked opponent?

      But the thing with this handpicking is you still have a fight at your hands so you can actually lose cause you'r in a fight real live ****ing fight.

            there's no way to take a neutral position anymore. *****s have taken it to a level where you have to choose sides.

                Utter bs. His defensive skills are remarkable and all great fighters choose opponents at that level.

                Moreover, the guys arent bad [Hatton, Oscar, JMM-all top guys], PBF if just so good he makes them look ordinary.

Replace those names with Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Mosley and Wright and then Floyd Gayweather could say he challenged the best. He absolutely did not. He's a typical cherry picker like Roy Jones was.
                  Nobody put as much time, effort and cogitation into who, how, why, etc. his next opponents would be than the Mayweather "Brains Trust". Yes, that is how they were referred to in some journalistic reports.

                  The facts are that Mayweather, for reasons which only would become apparent AFTERWARDS, always turned out to have a big edge advantage over whoever he was fighting. One which often turned out not to have been needed.

                  One only has to look at the circumstances surrounding the Corrales fight. Some people might think that I have "flogged this horse to death", since I always post the reasons for this fight having been a HUGE mismatch, taking into consideration the circumstances, and the period during which it was made.

                  This fight alone, is the PERFECT example of the Mayweather "Brains Trust", and, to know exactly how Mayweather thinks and arranged his contests, I urge all you posters to dig into the situation surrounding this match, and the tantalizing reward offered to Corrales, which, to him in his specific situation, was regarded by him as a "lifesaver", forcing him to accept.
                  Corrales, from the time the match was first proposed to him, had absolutely NO CHANCE to beat either Mayweather or almost ANY OTHER reasable 130 pounder.

                  This has NEVER been sufficiently explored, and in MY opinion, should NOT be regarded as a brilliant Mayweather success. Except a success for cunning and devious plotting.

                  Oscar's brains trust had similiar successes.....until they slipped up badly with Trinidad, who, they thought, would be drained by making the weight. Well he was, as we saw in the first part of the fight, but Oscar ran out of steam.

                    There are the same reasons for Manny P.s wins, but he is by far the more attractive fighter because of his "buzz-saw" perpetual motion fighting style, and, not least, because he has come up very quickly from a 120 pounder, taking on, (as it seems) challenge after challenge and vanquishing ostensibly fighters with superior height, weight, firepower etc.

                    This is bound to spread the belief that Manny is some sort of SUPERMAN(NY)
