    Also he said that Pacquiao fought a blown up lightweight and Rios should have got a tune up fight first. Well didn't he fight a blown up lightweight in Marquez? At no point do I ever remember him saying Marquez needed a tuneup fight first.
    It's so funny!
    You are asking for the guy to exercise a logically sound and coherent discourse?
    Funny indeed!

      Pac did fight a blown up lightweight in Rios. Floyd did fight a blown up LW in JMM. Perhaps Rios needed a tune up b/c he lost his previous fight while JMM didn't.

      Yes he said these things about Khan and Canelo. Does each fight have to be made for the same reasons?

      SO its clear floyd contradicts himself often. Its also clear that posters treat every floyd fight as the same set of circumstances whether they apply or not.
      lmao rios was anything but blown up..if anything he was fighting at his close-to-natural-weight class against pacquiao....when people say that rios is a lightweight i can't help but laugh.....and rios had already fought twice at 140 against alvarado...

      this is a lightweight rios......failed to make lightweight TWICE and ended up looking like a skeleton each time....

          not at or under the lightweight limit...saying rios is a lightweight is like saying pacquiao is a flyweight.....sure they fought there at one time but could they realistically/safely make that weight again? NO.....

              uhh not exactly but I see your point.

              the larger point was floyd contradicts himself dozens of times. when he does-it doesn't necessarily mean what he is saying isn't true.

                      He keeps driving the point home that Manny is 1-2 in his last 3 fights but how many times in the build up to the Khan fight will he mention that Khan is 2-2? Zero! He will say things like he is a true champion b/c he was knocked and got up.
