I think JMM-Pacman-2 will be a great battle, and I wish them both luck.
Thank you, cause I'm greatly outnumbered here! I like them both too (thats why it kills me to hear them put JMM down like that..like he has no chance when he clearly is the better boxer..hands down!). I just like JMM more...and matter of fact, alot of Americans love Mexican fighters...examples are Chavez, DeLaHoya (who played both sides of the nationality fence), Morales, MAB...the list goes on and on, so JMM is no different
Not so amazing to me (so dont throw me in there) I actually prefer a slugger to a counter puncher. I also admire a true technician when he's plying his craft...that is what boxing is all about. JMM doesnt ONLY counter either; he boxes, plain and simple. And I still think that if he took what Manny dished out in the first fight, got back up (with a broken nose) repeatedly and then clearly outboxed Manny the remainder of the fight then he can do so again.
And for the record, I NEVER expected or wanted you to keep quiet about your guy...thats what coming to the forum is all about..to express different views, etc.
Thats cool..I totally respect your opinion, cause Mannys fans are amazing in the loyality and devotion. I've always liked JMM cause to me he represents BOXING perfectly! He has some of it all...he's not quite that powerful, and he knows it, so he has compensated for that with skill...natural talent, which he has a butt load of. If he can handle the power (again), and I think he can, then there's just no way that I can see manny outboxing him. And JMM winning a decision wont be cause of bias either...I'm tired of hearing that one too! He can win the decision fairly, and I really think he will
well said tracy, i apologize for putting the word into your mouth. i totally agree with you that jmm is an excellent boxer/counterpuncher and if you're talking boxing in it's purity, jmm might very well represents the game. however, style makes fight and if a slugger/ko artist keeps on winning using the style he is most successful and atuned too, then i guess the end justifies the means as well. and boxing is not all about boxing either, it's about winning as well.
i just hope the better fighter wins the rematch in february, i know you will be rooting for jmm and i for manny. thanks for your posts - it was worthwhile chatting with you. happy new year once again!

Same to you, of course....I love debating with rational, adults...mutual respect is important while having a conversation, I think! I'll debate with you any day!
I have to disagree with some of this. JMM made the proper adjustments in the first fight, and I fully believe that when the time comes, he will do so again and be able to handle all these "surprises" you say Manny has in store for him. I think that while getting worked up about Manny (which since youre a big fan, thats understandable ) that you may be underestimating JMM, and not giving him his credit. He is an excellent boxer, counter puncher, and all around technician. I know that Manny has alot of power, and maybe he's worked towards 'mixing' his game up some, but he really did seem very one dimensional to me and that is one thing that JMM is NOT! I posted before that if Manny would work on improving his technique, and not have to rely on his power so much, he would be a force to reckon with. But, I wont discredit what JMM is fully capable of doing either; and thats not only withstanding mannys power, but winning a clear decision.
It's being said that JMM wasnt able to finish Manny off; well, that isnt what he does...he boxes, and quite well. And, Manny wasnt able to finish him off either, and I dont really believe all that about broken (or injured) hands, and you gotta admit that the 'too tight' socks is hard to take serious, even as unique an excuse as it is
good post! i cant explain myself like u do. most pac fans are too thickheaded to get it thru their heads. it gets me angry lol

stop whining dude, fans are just like that...just acept the fact and leave it at that.
manny didn't win that fight (thanks to a ****** judge), but he won in my eyes. he was off balance after he hurt his foot -- and no he didn't lost all his powers. he still managed to stand up in those 11 rounds, didn't he? okay..nuff said.
