name one superstar boxer who has not hand picked his opponents.

pacman, oscar, srl, etc all had hand picked opponents

Not throughout there entire spoon fed career. The best fought the best. Promotional companies and sanctioning bodies back then were different. Even Ring Magazine Belt was respected as THE Belt to have. A lot has changed in this Business. Not to say any fighter never took a spoon full of easy opposition. They did. But Legacy use to mean something.

We all know Floyd is going to go for the point system against manny. Floyd won't brawl with Pac. Too dangerous for floyd

What makes you think Floyd can dictate this fight with Manny?

Manny is going to come out trying to make a statement. Manny isn't patient IMO. He's gonna stand in the pocket and wanna brawl. Floyd will throw a jab or two then get out of the pocket. I think Manny is going to come out looking to hurt floyd early.

I disagree Floyd still has the desire to win and keep the undefeated status whether he remains undefeated remains to be seen. I personally see him winning with effective counterpunching and his accuracy. When Manny comes in close Floyd will clinch like he always does. Manny's best bet is high volume punching and not to let Floyd tie him up.

yes i do blame him. Itys called Legacy. Its more than just money. Just with Floyd it became easy money. When you been hand picked your opponents and marketed this way its easy to have his attitude. His handlers recognize his lack of passion and big headedness. He was forced to take this fight. Manny is the cash out for Floyd. They know Manny will beat him. Its time to say bye bye to Floyd. Thats why he doesnt have it anymore.

Can we STOP acting like Floyd is the only one handpicking opponents. Top Rank & Roach have been handpicking Pac's opponents for years as well too. Because of their positions in the game as #1 & 2 cashcows in the game they've been able to call the shots, circumvent the various alphabet organizations' mandatories etc. All while keeping fights in house (Pac-Top Rank) Floyd (Golden Boy), weightdraining opponents or bringing fighters up weightclasses.
Roach through the years can't help yapping about his creative matchmaking & gaining advantages tactics. Stop making your hate for Floyd cloud your memory & judgement.

I can see how you think that. I too even think the same. But for some reason i think they have a game plan different than the norm. With hopes that Floyd is preparing for what we both think. I just cant believe they are spilling the blue print to the media by saying they are gonna jump early. Floyd normally takes control of the second half of the fight. Look for the fight to break out in second half.

Do your homework. Compare last 15 opponents between the two.

when pacquiao suffers another debilitating KO loss at the hands of floyd jr he will quit the game for his own good

[SkillspayBills]

He will fight again. One more time. All that talk of 50-0 is out of the window though. I don't believe he will ever go for that record after hearing him speak.
