He knows what time it is. Not sure why Pac should be looked at with more respect seeing that he couldn't get done in 4 fights what Floyd got done in 1.
    Get some common sense instead of talking like a Floyd homer. You do know JMM is a counter puncher right? Wth is Floyd going to give to counter? It also doest help he had to move up so much in weight for Floyd. Styles make fights as the adage goes. Manny and Floyd are 2 very different boxers.

      Ok...Floyd is a counter puncher too. He should be penalized because he of his style? I don't get that. Common sense says that JMM has been coming into the ring virtually the same weight as Floyd has for almost 10 years. Why can't you just give credit that the better fighter won.....just like Marquez and Nacho do instead of making excuses for it?

        Im pointing out the different styles in response to your jab at Manny because JMM lost to Floyd once and comparing with Pacquiao's struggles with Marquez. JMM won't fare well against another counterpuncher, let alone a defensive wizard like Floyd. JMM wil tee off counters on offensive fighters like Manny. Why do you always bring in Manny to all your posts? Insecure arent you?

          Yeah I really thought he was getting knocked out by Pacquiao. Instead most of the fight looked like the second half of Pacquiao-Marquez II and I think it showed that Pacquiao's flaws had never really left. The fourth was even more surprising.

            Not insecure at all. I mentioned Pac because you will watch them do the exact same thing and only condemn Floyd for it. It's simple to say now, but JMM obviously thought he had a great chance against a "defensive wizard" like Floyd, otherwise he wouldn't have called him out. Hell Bert Sugar was even said that JMM had a great chance to beat him(only to change it and make fun of the matchup afterwards). You act as if Manny doesn't have advantages over Marquez as well.

              Manny has speed advantage over a lot of people. The point is JMM is a counterpuncher, he doesn't fare well against another counterpuncher let alone Floyd who doesn't present much opportunities for counters. This was not a "spectacular" win for Floyd. If he can beat a faster fighter he will get more respect. If not Pacman, then at least Khan.

                I think the main problem with this fight, and the real reason why Floyd looked so good, is that this was the first time Marquez had EVER fought above Lightweight. It was a clinic by mayweather, but it SHOULD had been. anything less would had been pathetic.

                  He beat Judah who was as fast if not faster than Khan and Pac. I don't see any respect for that, so I would doubt it.

                  Name one fighter that Pac faced who was faster than him?
