I'll state my position on Manny Pac just to avoid confusion. I love the way he fights because he fights with so much heart and tenacity, couple that with his finishing ability and you have a great fighter. Having said that, being a boxing fan, I love to watch Floyd fight, even in his boring fights. I really appreciate his intelligence, his speed and of course his countering ability. Not to mention the way he uses the ring.
A lot of people on here that are Manny fan boys will just about agree with anything Manny does/says, and we know this. They may not be aware of what they are doing, but the readers of the comments know this. This is what ruins Pac for me. You read a post with no boxing insight whatsoever; somewhere along the lines of ," Manny will win, manny will dominate, chicken floyd will run." Granted there are Floyd fan boys, i know this, they just aren't on the level of Manny fans.
Now there are fans of Manny who actually know boxing, the paragraph above clearly isn't directed towards you.
What I wanted to ask both fan bases is a question about the window that Pac is now accepting.
So Pac finally accepted the 14 day window, at first I was relieved because I think boxing needs this fight. I also want to end the debate on who would win the fight. Upon second look, however, it kind of annoys me that he wouldn't accept this window in the first place. Do you guys think Manny accepted the 14 day window now, because he knows Floyd will want to do no window at all? I only suggest this because Shane didn't have a window. It just seems weird to me that now Manny accepts the window. What is the difference this time around? Do you guys also think Manny picked Clottey to fight because he was a defensive fighter and he wanted to have a taste of fighting a defensive fighter, to perhaps better prepare for floyd?
I realize the two questions are naive, but I just wanted to throw them out there to see what people think.
