i'm starting to give less of a f#ck about pacquiao each time he fights


in '09 he was probably my favorite prime fighter


i dont think he's prime anymore, but he's not even in my top 10 active fighters anymore
it's gotten hard to root for a guy who was so damn easy to root for

Hopkins was getting his a$$ handed to him in that fight after the first few rounds.

Hopkins had to resort to play acting, crawling around on the floor like a dog and howling to buy time.

Could not live with the pace Joe was setting, and come the middle rounds he was just clinching.

And yes Roy was past it, but that is my point, so was Oscar and Mosley when Floyd fought them.

You have that exactly right. Calzaghe was making a fool out of Hopkins, who was so seriously grunting and crying and faking his way through the fight, whilst Calzaghe was laughing at him and having fun. The fight looked messy only because Hopkins makes every fight look messy, even when losing badly. Even if he wins well, it looks scrappy and untidy.

I just can't understand anyone, who thinks that the decision was questionable, or that Hopkins won, can claim ANY knowledge of boxing at all. The split was a farce, like the split in Oscar-Mosley 1.

Joe didn't make a fool of anybody but himself...slapping and getting dropped and wobbled..

Enzo thought Joe lost.

pacroid the cheat.....

If Pac does something special against Bradley, it will solidify pacs status as the greatest who ever laced them up.

Pacroid off to a fast start huh???; Guess HS took s double shot of his I don't like needles juice. Pacroid doesn't have to train when Top Rank has paid the judges. Pacroid could train two days before the fight & ole Bob will make sure Bradley loses.

Tim Bradley is fighting Manny at 147. He's 1-0 at that weight. If this fight elevates manny as you said, then floyd beating hatton makes floyd top 5.

Wait, 147 isn't Hatton's best weight according to you, so that should be the same caveat in manny/tim, its not at Tim's best weight.

How do you know 147 isnt tims best weight, considering he said hed be stronger at that weight and he has fought higher weight than 147 before? Hatton we could see with our own eyes wasnt doing the business at 147. What fight at 147 did Tim not look great to you? Plus Pac wont be getting help from Cortez to beat Bradley like Floyd did.
So no comparison whatsoever.

. AT 147 its manny against a JWW moving up and I would expect you to hold it in the same light you held floyd/hatton.

As above.

Yeah because beating Tim Bradley instead of fighting floyd mayweather is the stuff of legends.

Well Pac is beating an unbeaten lion, who is naturally bigger than himself. More legendary than bloating up lightweights like JMM who never had a fight at 140, let alone 147 and was Pacs leftovers to boot. And thats the performance that is supposedly going to make Floyd favourite against Pac.

Beating Tim Bradley at 147, where he is 1-0 at the weight, coming off beating Casamayor, and refused to fight Khan, enhances his legacy that much. Wow talk about bias.

Well, how many fights did JMM have at 140 before fighting Floyd at 147? Zero fights at 140, and zero at 147.
So dont disrespect Pac anymore as you are looking two faced beyong belief.

Tim beats pacroid...easily too

All of this is true. I can see him possibly not fighting Martinez because Martinez is not a big name so would not be a great business fight, and Martinez has not much recognition to general public so beating him to most of the sports world won't boost his legacy. Only Pacquaio at this point can do that, he knows he has to fight him, and he will.

But just because the media skews it in favor of Pacquiao because he is the "nice" guy politician who does everything for his country doesn't make his legacy better.

As far as excitement, Pac is way above Floyd. But talking greatest of this generation, it's Floyd unless Pac beats him. I'm done

The only thing that's making Pacquiao underdog to Mayweather is 1st Pacquiao isn't American 2nd International boxing media aka espn are all in America. nuff said. Pacquiao is just another boxer across the united states of ***** and jayz

It is not what Pacquiao is doing in camp, it what he does out of camp.

Pacquiao needs to rest properly.

Pacquiao has been burning the candle at both ends, training, singing, endorsements, talk shows, congress duties, spending time with the family, whores, strippers, **********s, video hos and vixens, drugs, liq and the school run.

It doesn't matter too much how Pacquiao is doing now it matters how he will be doing come fight night.

A good performance against Bradley will cement Pacquiao as an ATG top 15 and the greatest fighter of his generation.

fixed it for you.
