          Why are people bringing up Pacquiao? Just another Diva like Floyd. What a crock, another cop out.

            Fine, you shouldn't. But labeling posters that point out facts about the writer doesn't make you objective nor make analysis critical and valid.

            You shouldn't ignore the choices he made, but you should also acknowledge the choices those opponents made. You should also look at the writer the same way you would if Ben Thompson wrote a pro floyd article and it was on fighthype, right?

            you get my point. we may not agree, but criticizing the poster rather than their point is a tired strategy that frankly your posts suggest is beneath you.

            thats gong and cgarcia level crap.

              Floyd has always been known to cherry pick. So nothing new here.

                The old tactic of when losing an argument, you change the subject.

                  Pac 2013-2014 would get scholed and proberly koed by floyd.

                  In 2009 Pac was just too damm fast,too acurate, too explosiv with his left for Floyd to do his thing.
                  That straight left he would shot down the pipe out of nowere would bloody floyds nose.

                  The way Pac, annilated Hatton, and made prime Cotto run for his life was enourgh to scare floyd into retirement, and that is a fact

                  I am not saying Pac would blow floyd out of the ring, but at the time it was a very competetiv fight

                      "He also has fought a lot of his big names on his record with the were on the downward slope or well past their prime"

                      You could call this constructive criticism and debate it. But how does it not apply to Manny Pacquiao as well, especially from the mighty David Diaz onwards. How many of his opponents were at the top of their division, in their prime or on winning streaks? Do we forget that Mosley was candidly refused as an opponent until well and truly worn (as blatant a duck as you can get and Roach doesn't deny it). Yes, I know this is about Mayweather, but those who happily board Hauser's train wouldn't go near the station if Pacquiao were the target of the article. THAT is what makes their eager additions more about hate than truth. They only apply their brand of it when it suits them. The thing is, if Mayweather had been outboxed or flattened somewhere along the way, there wouldn't be a need for articles like this to make him fallible I some way.
