Comments Thread For: Mayweather: The Media Built Manny Pacquiao To My Level

[The Big Dunn]

Thats simply untrue, Dunn. You just see what you want to see.

you have bing, google and unlimited time on your hands to refute the post with facts. while my points about the NBA are not hard facts as I have not polled each voter-they are reasonable and have been made several times.

the point about the p4p lists is a fact. you ytourself have spent a great deal of time attempting to delegitimise those same lists on NSB because they continuosly had floyd ranked#1.

its not my opinion or those of reloaded, fetta, 4corners, wess, larry,irondan, etc etc. or any other NSB floyd fan. these are independent, no floyd associated voters that you can't label *****, fanboy, bumsniff, snuffty or any thing else. go argue with them.

I think it's all a wash.....both fighters are great. I'm not into the who is better argument because I really cannot say who accomplished more.....it's too subjective.....and sometimes it does come down to who is more beloved. Floyd shot himself in the foot and lost hope of being adored by all when he said he was better than Ali and insulted Ray Leonard and Larry Holmes. And the things he said to Oscar would make Mayorga blush. He isolated himself from adoration and continued with the things he said about Pac and the Korean Basketball player. Pac is no saint, that is for damn sure but Pac doesn't shoot himself in the foot with outragious comments. How people see these guys is filtered to some extent by their personna......but arguments to who is better is subjective.

I completely agree. Pac won the popularity contest. But that doesn't mean that as a knowledgeable fight fan, I have to buy the bull****.

Someone just needs to get these two guys to fight in 2014 and have it all go away.

You do realize that when Floyd was 16, he was fighting at 106 in the amateurs don't you.

Maybe was Chris Arreola as well, but that carries 0 points in the pro game. You do realize if Floyd started his career at 16 and faced ATGs below 130, his career trajectory would have been completely different, don't you?

[twosweethooks]

Guerrero isn't an ATG, but he's far from a bum. He was also the best available welterweight at the time. The ideal macth-up for Floyd would have been JMM, but there was no point in that fight.

I would say fighting the guy that just outclassed Rios in his last fight would be a lil more dangerous....kiddo.

"best available" you are being too foolish mang ! AVAILABLE , like he whupped all the others ? Available cause there is no one else ? Available to his liking is more like it. Over the past 8 years MR. Duck cherry picked his way to fortune and fame MANG !!!!

Sad to be so blind mang

[The Big Dunn]

The signature of Manny career is moving up to welterweight and scaring th ***** out of Floyd then winning fighter of the decade and leaving Floyd in the dust.

If you say so.

PM anybody on NSB and ask them what do they think of when they hear "he's not getting up Jim".

[hitking]

Mang ! name the elite prime WW that JR has fought over the past 8 years that DEFINES him as being the BEST ? LMAO !!!!!!

Hmm, Ring magazine currently has JMM ranked #1 at welterweight and Floyd beat him like a damn drum in the last 8 years. LOL!!

[cowardsinboxing]

lil floyd joy is no Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.

[twosweethooks]

This is classic. Calling Mayweather a catch weight fighter but uplifting the biggest catch weight fighter to date "Manny Pacquiao".

Jealous are ye ? LOL What ever Jr did with past opponents except for JMM PAC DID BETTER !

That fact is eating you up Mang

[The Big Dunn]

I don't agree with Floyd here..Pac fought his way to Mayweather's level,to the point he was the most logical fight for Floyd..The media may have pushed for Pac to be his opponent..Pac clearly fought his way to Floyd's level,which to Floyd's credit is the top of the sport..

real good point rome. manny definitely earned his place through what he did in the ring.
