    Be happy Floyd won, I knew he would but there is no need to take anything away from Manny in the process. I mean, people can bring up he beat a Manny he avoided for 7 years. Let's just not even go there, Manny is a warrior regardless of how he performed in this fight.
    Manny's performance puts everything he's ever done into perspective. Doesn't mean he isn't a HOF'er. But the warrior crap can be flushed.

    A warrior's rep isn't based on beating those lesser than you. A warrior is defined by how he fights against equal comp or when he is the lesser man. when winning can only be achieved through heart. Warriors do not make excuses when they lose.

    This fight showed Manny's true character IMO. His career can no longer be celebrated. It can be fondly remembered, but no longer celebrated. Not showing up and never trying to win is almost unforgiveable.

    He let the sport that gave him everything down. Maybe he can resurrect himself. If he does, I will treat him accordingly.

      But you've been going on how pac was tentative and didn't go hard cause he didn't wanna get kod. That's exactly what hatton did and prob does deserve more credit

        People look at Hatton gettin TKO'd, but they forget how he was landing on Floyd and not allowing him to breath

        Hatton put up a better fight than Pac
        hatton, maidana, cotto, and canelo all did better than pac man did

            Hatton didn't suffer a KO like the Marquez 4 one.

              Sore "winners" in every thread right now. There's a lot of telling insecurity despite the points decision.

                what a load of tripe, the fight did show Manny's true character he came to fight, the other guy came to run and hold against a smaller man and you have the nerve to type this nonsense

                I suppose Floyd's the warrior is he? lol foh

                  Are you still drunk Dunn? Just a few weeks ago regarding Chavez Jr quitting, you said Morales and De La Hoya were washed up so the quitting was understandable. Now you're going to sit here and say Manny isn't a warrior or his true character showed because at 36 years old and after JMM put the fire out, he doesn't go for broke? He didn't even quit like these guys you defended, he just didn't want to get KO'd again. Sorry but Floyd did not beat a prime Manny and nowhere near it, that doesn't take away anything Manny accomplished in his career.

                  One fight didn't make Morales or Oscar a quitter but they quit. Manny is a warrior and his career proved it, he wasn't in this fight.

                    Not Canelo lol. I remember Manny landing some clean punches, I honestly can't remember one clean shot to the head for Canelo landing on Floyd. Not one.
