awww come on dunn you're so naive. i'm talking about floyd fans in general here not just you. you don't have to bring up floyd's wins because i'm not going to discredit his success the way you did when you suddenly brought up the cotto and dlh fights in a thread with a different subject. now bringing up unrelated topics in a thread is what you call bull****.

Well, i also hope he'll defy expectations AGAIN and be the first to introduce floyd jr. to the canvass as well as give floyd jr. his first "L".
Big Dun response: Why is it you are "downplaying his feats" if you mention true facts. I'm not talking opinions. If you say, manny won but cotto was at 145, thats the truth, right?
Yes people take shots at manny. But no one is required to like him. same as floyd. I joined at post #26 in response to above than afighter4u and I started discussing.
In no way did I "discredit his success the way you did when you suddenly brought up the cotto and dlh fights in a thread with a different subject. now bringing up unrelated topics in a thread is what you call bull****."
I personally do not give a fighter respect if they use their (drawing)power as a bargaining chip to negotiate a catchweight in a title fight.Comment

i don't really care and i'm not expecting any better from you. what i know is most people in this forum did not expect pac to dominate cotto even at 145. can't blame a pacfan if he considers that a great win. he defied most people's expectation...and if your expetation was defied as well you should be ashamed for discrediting his win.Comment

Fair point! But wasn't manny favored by the betting line? I'm not speaking for all floyd fans only me. I thought the catchweight was bogus then and I still think it now for the reasons stated. How is pointing out the 145 max discrediting him? Isn't that a fair criticism?i don't really care and i'm not expecting any better from you. what i know is most people in this forum did not expect pac to dominate cotto even at 145. can't blame a pacfan if he considers that a great win. he defied most people's expectation...and if your expetation was defied as well you should be ashamed for discrediting his win.Comment

exactly,floyd is the man and everyone knows itPerhaps. But ultimately expectations from FMJ are usually higher, given that he boxes with good technique. This is the reason why critics deride his resume-- they expect better from him.
Pacquiao on the other hand, continues to defy expectations, because his non-textbook style, and rhythm makes him look beatable in the eyes of purists, not to mention that his resume has wins over fighters that could have in theory, beaten him easily.
This is reflected in BScene betting.Comment

that fight is not that dominate the 1st 5 rounds were rounds that could of went either way and if not for the kd cotto i thought was doin better than pacquiao then when manny hurt him he ran for 7 rounds but manny was not beatin on cotto the way margarito did in the later rounds of their fight and manny was the favorite in that match and alot of people were sayin that cotto was not the same since the margarito fight but after he losses to pacquiao alot of you seem to forget that you all were claimin miguel was washed upi don't really care and i'm not expecting any better from you. what i know is most people in this forum did not expect pac to dominate cotto even at 145. can't blame a pacfan if he considers that a great win. he defied most people's expectation...and if your expetation was defied as well you should be ashamed for discrediting his win.Comment

see that's the point...you were quick to point out facts but that poster you quoted was also talking about facts. it is a known fact that haters have tried so many times to discredit pac's success so what's your point of disproving his post? why are you so defensive about the facts he raised?Quote:

whatever...you're a floyd fan so it's normal for you to be biased towards floyd. you can nuthug him all you want...i just don't understand why you are getting in the way of a pac fan like Afighter4U being proud of pac's success. if you don't like pac that's fine nobody's forcing you in the first place...it's you trying to shoot down a post of somebody who likes pac.Yes people take shots at manny.

it's not just about what you pointed out...it's how you pointed them out. there were things disadvantageous to pac in that catchweight fight but you failed to mentioned them...says it all really.Fair point! But wasn't manny favored by the betting line? I'm not speaking for all floyd fans only me. I thought the catchweight was bogus then and I still think it now for the reasons stated.

Wow! Defy expectations is not a fact. its an opinion. I thought Manny would beat Cotto. You didn't fine. In no way am I defensive. I asked a legitimate question. Why is every criticism of manny trying to downplay his feats?
Trying to shoot down his post? "i just don't understand why you are getting in the way of a pac fan like Afighter4U being proud of pac's success Dude are you ok today? Are you serious? I asked why if I point out the truth would I be called a hater?
The catchweight was an example of a fact that, when pointed out, pac fans take as hatred. Thanks for making that post 100% true.Comment

lol i'm talking about haters trying to discredit pac as a fact...it's all over this board. and nobody called you a hater in particular so what are you trying to say? out of nowhere you quoted a post about pachaters but nothing was mentioned that it was you in particular. if you're not a hater you don't have to react. but you got hurt and tried to be defensive. go back and read your post.Wow!
