    Plenty of killer instinct against Margarito. He is human, after all and the man he was fighting was dying. Mosley? Mosley moved. That's enough to make Manny look human.

      Againest fighters aged 38+ no less.

      Mosley was suppose to be a ko. Marquez wasnt suppose to see 12. Though i give Marquez the benefit that hes something esle.

      His legs appear tobe going, barely see the in out side to side. Hes walking a straight line. He hasnt been impressive. One bad night ? Sure, two? Uh oh.
      THose opponents just force him to fight differently then he likes. If he fights cotto again he'll look fine.

        plenty of killer instinct? like constantly lookin at the ref to stop the fight? that version of PAC never existed


        Mosely ran

        Marquez? that was a blowup lightweight against a PAC that 'wasnt draining himself' like some would say and he had a tougher fight than the 2 previous


        you think he's the same, i dont


        right after the Cotto fight, i thought he had a great shot at beating PBF...a couple of years later and with his latest outings, im on that 'anything can happen in the ring' angle...far removed from 'yea he's gonna give floyd hell'

          Basically. Unless we think he was slipping when he fought Marquez a second time too.

            Mosley didn't run. He just moved. And backed away when Pac attacked. I guess that's something Manny's never seen before.

            And Manny always looks like crap against Marquez. Because Marquez uses his brain, for starters and offers him different looks. I don't think Manny was slipping in either of their first two bouts either.

              Floyd fans just dont want to admit Manny is on the decline so that they can claim Floyd beat Manny during his prime when they fight. When obviously its 2 years too late.

                Don't agree with the bold, I agree with everything else though. Not expecting a competitive one neither.
