The Truth About BS, Floyd And Manny

[Thread Stealer]

The truth is that people should stop trying so hard to prove "their" fighter's superiority over the other fighter when the fighters themselves don't care much to.

I'll never know what it is about crybabies. You can opt to ignore threads that you don't like and keep on bumping threads that you do. No one is stopping you from contributing your opinions in those threads. We're not babies that needs constant, tender loving attention. Besides, I haven't seen a lot of May/Pac threads lately. I for one am not interested in them. That fight should be buried and should never be resurrected again, afaic.

Red K to TS for trying to be underhand slick about being a MOMO. . . .

I've been waiting for this thread for years, thanks TS.

BS is unbearable now. "*****s vs *******s", grow up and get a life. The two will likely NEVER fight, so DROP IT. Enjoy the sport and enjoy each fighter for what they do in the ring. These personal attacks, race wars, child like insults etc. are pathetic and ruin this forum.

Facts are facts. I own Manny Nike shoes and a few MP shirts, I love watching him fight, I myself am a Christian, and think what Manny has done is great. I don't think about the steroids and all that and don't know if he juiced. Today most fighters are juicing, which is cowardly, but unless you know for sure speculation is worthless.

However, clearly Floyd is the better fighter. ANYBODY that understands boxing knows that. That is why basically every pro fighter and trainer tells you that Floyd beats Manny, even if they like Manny more. There is a reason Floyd is #1 by a mile in terms of his connect percentage vs. his opponent. It's not even close, and Manny is not even in the top 20. Floyd would dominate Manny and outbox him easily, just like he did Marquez. Does that take away anything from Manny? No. He is an amazing fighter and from his first MAB fight up until now he has done amazing things. He may be more exciting than Floyd and more fun to watch (I personally love people that shut down their opponents and make great fighters look ordinary, such as Floyd and the person in my av)

The bottom line is BOTH are great. Clearly Floyd is a better fighter, but he has been boxing since he was 3 years old. His technical abilities are elite, in any era. Manny is a great athlete with amazing power and speed, and a tremendous heart. They each have strengths and weaknesses, and they are each legends in their own way (once again, no question Floyd will be regarded as the better boxer years from now but that is irrelevant)

So PLEASE, stop with the garbage and just enjoy the sport. Have INTELLIGENT discussions about boxing, and if you don't know what you are talking about, study tape, join a gym, and just observe. Of course this will likely accomplish nothing, but this could be my last post on here because the children have taken over the asylum. God bless.

well put...i couldnt agree with you more! I still want Floyd and Manny to fight to end all this nonsense. I also think Manny is more exciting fighter like you said but I truly enjoy watching Floyd fight...Floyd is as graceful in the boxing ring as Jordan was on the basketball court. Its like the Phoenix Suns back when they had Steve Nash...up tempo and a lot of points aka Manny Pacquiao...but the team with a great defense could shut the down and beat them aka Floyd Mayweather. Like it or not...but in just about every major sport the team with the better defense wins aka New York Giants this year. Floyd is to hard to hit...you might catch him a few times but the fact remains that Floyd is the best counter puncher I have ever witnessed and debatable might the best that laced them up. This is just 1 reason I feel he beats Manny handily...there are several other FACTS that stick out as well. Some others being that Floyd has a 5 inch reach adv...meaning that he can effectively use his jab. The two best punches against a south paw are a straight right hand and left hook...which are Floyds 2 best punches. Speed would be a wash...meaning Pacquiao would not have that advantage working in his favor and niether would Floyd. Boxing is Chess match and Floyd is the best at making adjustments during a fight...meaning that Roach is always talking about coming up with a game plan to beat Floyd...but Floyd and Roger simply make the correct adjustments. Freddie Roach teaches a aggressive style of fighting...meaning his fighters don't know how to fight backing up...as some might have noticed that Floyd is now starting to walk his opponents down. Real Talk!

Garbage thread. Also reported for posting out of the Pacquiao-floyd master thread.

You're still too young to understand Boxing.

Boxing Writers Association of America(BWAA) Has chosen/voted Manny Pacquiao as "The Fighter of the Decade"! as well as FOTY!; Been awarded that Guiness Book Of World Record as the most number of Titles won in different weight Division.

You should ask those Boxing Analyst in Ring, Yahoo, Sports Illustration, & other Boxing Bodies, why they have chosen Pacquiao as #1PFP.

Now if you think Mayweather Jr is Better, how come he can't show such accomplishments done by Pacquiao?

There are a lot of Professional Boxers with undefeated Record;
But, there is only one Boxer who Registered the Most number of Titles in different weight Divisions.

I hate both Floyd and Pacman.

However, I pick Floyd Mayweather as being the better boxer. Pacman on the other hand has a better resume and if I were to rank them nowadays...It'd be hard but I'd say Pacman is #1 Pound for Pound. I'd probably rank Pacman ahead of Floyd in the All Time lists too. I think plenty of guys from the past defeat both men.

I hate the fucking Catchweights and all that bullshit though.

What makes me laugh is that both men have similarities and both fan bases have more in common than they think or probably would like to admit.

[Shona Boy]

MAybe Floyd and PAc made an agreement to never fight one another, to keep the hype around them so they can both make big $ and have the boxing world talk about this fight that never happened. Assuming they both win every fight until they retire, they both can make a ton of money fighting other fights while calling each other out.
