Every mutual opponent they have barring Marquez, Manny dished out worse beatings, heck even against Marquez Manny inflicted overall more damage, it was just a bad style matchup for Juan.

Mayweather fans were in what's known as ''cognitive dissonance''

When Manny whooped DLH, the excuses poured out about being ''drained'' etc, Oscar was the A side and had everything his way, he started camp around 152 and if you watch him against Floyd he's really not that different. But Fl0mos don't want to accept reality, there must be an excuse.

Cotto - Out come the drained and PEDs excuses

Margarito - Drained doe blah blah blah

Clottey - Paid to lose blah blah blah

Hatton - Floyd ruined him doe... blah blah blah

Mayweather fans didn't want to accept what they were witnessing, there is always an excuse!

One thing Sayf Carman neglected to clarify in his videos is why the Pacquiao's losses don't affect his legacy much. In the same way Ali's losses doesn't...or Sugar Ray's losses...Duran's...Hearns'...Sugar Ray Robinson's... It's part of the game. Taking up the challenges is the more important factor.

if floyd wouldn't fight maidana unless he wore pillow gloves you think he's going to fight manny and let manny wear punchers gloves? obviously not so the fight will never happen because neither guy will change their mind with floyd being in the wrong again.

What are you talking about? Freddie Roach is the one who said Oscar was drained and you're a fool if you thought Oscar didn't look different at 145 than he did at 154 a year and a half earlier. Freddie Roach said he could see the IV marks on Oscar's arms on fight night. They had to rehydrate Oscar using an IV and you don't think he was drained?! You are a perfect example of "cognitive dissonance." You ignore facts that go against your perception of reality.

Oscar hadn't fought at 147 in nearly a decade and had to cut more weight than he had done in recent years. Of course Manny dished out a worse beating. What would you expect when knowing Oscar was having drug fueled parties with hookers in between fights (there are pictures of this) And was fighting at a weight he hadn't made in several years?

He fought at 150 the fight before..

And he started camp at 154.

Whatever helps you deal with it, there's always an excuse

No excuses, that was the reality. Even at 150 against Steve Forbes (a c rated fighter) De La hoya didn't look too impressive. And lets not forget that he was coked out of his mind during that time, which became a huge story after pictures were released. You are really impressed by a victory over a coked up, weight drained Oscar? LMAO

He wasn't coked out of his mind when mayweather toiled with him?
