this ignit sum-b1tch just said rios beats all of floyd's last four opponents.....easily

what????? Are you kidding

[Sugar Q]

----------
Well maybe the people who makes those odds do so cuz they know what they are watching, maybe Floyd is always a huge favorite no matter who he fights because the oddsmakers KNOW Floyd is THAT good and they wanna protect their money....and on the other hand maybe they don't think Manny is that good and hence why the odds are so close....

You make it seem like Floyd is fighting bums and Manny is fighting gladiators
Floyd's last 4 opponents: Maidana, Canelo, Guerrero, Ortiz,
Pacquiaos last 4 opponents: Bradley, Rios, JMM, Bradley

Canelo would KO all Pacquiaos opponents and Pacquiao included
And the rest are all toss up fights with the exception of Rios, he beats none of them but he will be 50/50 vs Ortiz..

Excellent points and to back it up, who would complain about Pac vs Maidana or Bradley vs Maidana? NOBODY!!!!!

[Sugar Q]

Are you freakin serious?

Floyd would be at most a 3-1 favorite against Pacquiao or Bradley

And I see 3 outta 4 top 10 P4P guys in Pacs last 4 fights.

On floyd's I see -

a 10/1 underdog
a 23 year old who had to fight at a catchweight and could only eat cucumbers for dinner and was paid 5 million to take it easy
Guerrerro who skipped a 140, beat Berto (who freakin sucks) and thats it at 147
And Ortiz - no comment here neccessary

Rios beats everyone here easy including a weight drained Canelo

Brandon "Richard Abril" Rios beats Canelo? Your dumb ass should be banned from any computer for life for making that ******ed ass post.

I agree. I've been sitting trying to think of a single opponent Manny has fought in his career that would beat Canelo and I can't. He would break Barrera, Morales, and JMM in half. He pretty much fought the same version of Mosley that Manny did and destroyed him. I think fights with Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, and DLH would be interesting, but I'd pick him to beat the versions Manny fought. He'd brutally KO the version of Hatton Pac fought as well.

The part of your post that I don't agree with is is that "true P4P don't get KO'd by one punch." Roy Jones' reign as P4P King ended with one punch. That's not the reason Pac isn't the P4P King. The reason Pac isn't the P4P King is because he's not as good as Floyd. Simple as that.

Anybody that thinks Rios beats Canelo should be banned.

Thats what I get from the fact floyd is #1 in every reputable poll where writers/media/journalists are asked to vote. Ward gets a vote here and there but floyd is unanimously rated the best.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Bob Arum is better at promoting fights than I am at anything I’ve ever tried.

He’s got a track record that stretches farther than my 45 years, and his contractual relationships with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley, among others, seem to indicate that he’ll be relevant on the sport’s top shelf for just as long as he wants to be.

But for crying out loud, he’s got to get over this Mayweather thing.

I mean, I get it. They used to work together, now they don’t. He used to say Floyd was one of the best fighters he’d ever seen, but now he’s a coward focused only on money and remaining unbeaten.

It’s a lot like commentary that could be applied to any relationship when it veers from hot to cold.

What starts out as “She’s wonderful and attractive and I hang on her every word” quickly deteriorates to “I was never that into her in the first place, I just wanted to get in good with her sister.”

Still, after a while, those principals do move on to other things.

That doesn’t seem to be the case with Bob, though.

Wherever and whenever he gets a chance, there’s either a cleverly veiled or completely outspoken shot across the Mayweather bow – and it continued well into the night on Saturday at the MGM Grand, after Pacquiao and Bradley went another 12 entertaining rounds. [Click Here To Read More]

Great honest article but u know the P Tards will be upset. But the fact of the matter is... is that Canelo would beat everyone Pacquiao has fought at WW & yes he would destroy Bradley&Pacquiao. And tards if u remember the 1st time when we thought we were gonna get the so called super fight pbf was already a 3-1 favorite so you can imagine what it would be now. Mayweather will always be a huge favorite bcuz he's that much better than everyone& I mean everyone else @WW

In the last several years, P4P has become less and less important to me. Honestly, I don't even look at P4P lists. Personally, I have guys I consider elite and not. And IMO, there's not 10 of those guys in boxing.

Mayweather is cancer to boxing, he needs to die!
We all know Manny Pacquiao is the P4P one he doesn't duck anyone and he doesn't try to short change people as badly as Fraud Duckweather.

Ooh I don't deal with Bob Arum..
Ooh take da test
Yo I wired him a offer illegally and he never accepted why he no accept the offer

Full of so much bull****, **** off Fraud boxing would be better without you.

Wow, that's a little extreme don't you think? Go back and get your facts together and you can see who ducked who. If there was a fighter that Mayweather ducked it was Margarito, and that was because he was concentrated on landing a fight with ODLH (so I wouldn't exactly call that a duck, more like a business move. Similar to Lara's situation right now).
Would you deal with someone who still owes you millions?
Take the same test that he was subjecting himself to?
How exactly was his offer illigal?
And everyone who fights Mayweather has thier largest payday.
Are you and your fanboys that jealous of the man that you have to right this nonsense?
Rejoice in the fact that Pac just won this weekend, and appreciate the greatness of Mayweather.
