He would fight old Floyd but he went on vacation and racked up charges instead of making the fight. One's fighting in the ring, the other in the courtroom....which do you prefer as a boxing fan?

Yes, Pacman fought/will fight Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito but all of them were/are coming of a brutal beatdown or a loss. This is a fact. Yes, Manny has moved up in weight and what he's done is admirable, but FAR FROM great. You act as though fighters have never moved up in weight. When was the last time JMM and Mosley lost before Floyd fought them? Btw, Floyd coming in overweight against JMM was bush league.

for some its easy to depend pacquiao and hate and diss on floyd because pacquiao tho seldom talks, yet always walks the walk but for you, its the other way around, you hate and diss the pacman because thats easier than depending floyd who runs his mouth a mile ahead of his brain. thats legit as you can get.

Originally posted by FootWork777 View PostWhat's good peeps? I'm new to the scene, I enjoy seeing some of the opinions on the board so now I've decided to post myself. Let me start by saying first and foremost I'm a huge boxing fan as well as a Floyd Mayweather fan, yes u can actually be both Anyway, I think that Floyd deserves some crticism, but he takes WAY 2 much IMO, and I'm not talking about his legal issues, nobody who wasn't involved really knows what went down. I'm talking about what goes down strictly in the ring, particularly as far as oppostion.
Manny Pacquiao is a tremendous fighter, probably the best offensive fighter in the sport 2day. However, his competition since his move up to welterweight leaves a lot to be desired. Manny has fought Oscar (busted up by freaking Steve Forbes previous fight), Ricky Hatton (badly koncked out by Floyd before fighting Manny), Miguel Cotto (took savage beating by Margarito before fighting Manny), Joshua Clottey (who just lost to Cotto before fighting Manny), and now he's fighting Margarito (who just took a massive ass whoopin from Shane). Hmmmmmm.....it seems there's a pattern here. How the hell can anybody say Pacquiao has faced top competition as of late? This is an absolute joke
People bash Floyd's competition, but Manny's aint any better. Why does he continue to fight slow come forward battered fighters with limited boxing skills? Why the hell doesn't Manny just fight JMM again? I don't care what weight the fight is at, they have unfinished business, everybody knows Pacman vs. JMM 3 would be an extremely lucrative bout. If Manny can spark JMM out so quickly at the higher weights he should just prove it. At least Floyd manned up and proved he could beat Castillo decisively. There are other legit fights out there for Manny such as Berto, the winner of Alexnder vs. Bradley, the winner of Martinez vs Williams, hell even Amir Khan (if he gets past Maidana). I'm sick and tired of Manny being praised for fighting fighters coming off SEVERE ass whoppins. Manny should stop hiding behind Roach and Arum and fight some legitimate competition, whether he fights Floyd or not. Now he's prolly gonna fight Mosley next or Cotto Why do so many of u choose to ignore the facts and heap all this praise on Manny? This is a legitimate question that I want legitimate answers to........
How about Mayweather fighting Mosley and Marquez who both had 5 loses..
