100% unbiased and I call it as I see it. Why would I be biased for or against Floyd? I'm no Filopino, I'm not American. I am just a 100% unbiased boxing fan. I can freely admit Floyd is a great fighter, but overrated to hell, and one that picks and choses who to fight and when to fight them.
Only a totally biased fool wouldn't recognise that Floyd needs every advantage in his corner before he fights a guy, if he fights them at all (Acietas, Kosta, Martinez, prime Cotto, Prime, Mosely, prime Pac, Margo and retiring when welter was red hot)
100% unbiased as always. When you see a thread or comment made by Pac=Duran you know you are reading 100% pure truth.Comment

Hey, ODH, Cotto, Shane and Manny all chose to wait to fight Floyd. that is on them. Thtas like blaming Lennox Lewis for the Bowe fight not happening.100% unbiased and I call it as I see it.

Every cash cow picks and chooses when he fights. Resting when welter was red hot-LOL.
It's cool man, with a name like Pac=Duran we know why you post the things you do about Floyd.Comment

Barrera was a bit old but I wouldn't say on the slide, it's still a very good win for Pacquiao, Ledwaba was also a very good win considering the 2 weeks notice, but Cotto was arguably in the worst spot of his career at the time and there's no denying that.Comment

Irish boxing fan with zero allegiances. Freely admit that Carl Frampton would get schooled by Rigo> Unbiased.
Huge Pac fan but freely admit that Marquez beat him by 2 or 3 rounds in their 3rd fight.
So you mean to tell me that Floyd took a break after the ODLH fight just because? Just a coincidence that he chose to retire when Margo, Cotto, Pac, Oscar rematch, Shane Mosely, Paul Williams etc etc were breathing down his neck?
Come on man, try to be a little bit more unbiased. You have to admit AT LEAST that the sun doesn't shine out of lil Floydie's @ss in every instance?Comment

Dude, exaggerating the "hotness" of the WW division to suit your agenda isn't 100% unbiased. According to Floyd, his hand were hurt, which is consistent with what we know. Now was it just his hands, IMO no. I think he let contenders fight each other. That happens all the time at every weight.100 unbiased at all times. Call it as I see every time.

The truth is ODH, Shane, cotto and Manny all waited to fight Floyd. If you were truly 100% unbiased, you'd have pointed that out.Comment

the problem with talking about a fighter like michael nunn, and toney's win over him, is that you're going back 20-30 years. most of us were too young to understand what a great boxer looks like, buy HBO/showtime, PPV, etc. i had grainy video of the nunn fight on my computer growing up. lost it when my hosue was hit by lightning. fights that you used to download on limewire, etc, were often ripped from a VHS recording of a TV broadcast, and would have bad quality.
anyway, the footage was grainy, as i'd mentioned. it was hard to see the telling punches that toney started to land around the middle of the fight. ithink that watrching that fight in crappy 90's internet definition is what led a lot of people to perpetuate the notion that nunn was walking away with the fight.
in reality, toney was slowly working his way into range and landing hard counterpunches.
let me see if i can get a decent video of it on the internet now.

WW was red hot when Floyd retired. Margarito (cheating bastard that he is) was the one that fought them all for Floyd. Floyd turned down 8 million to fight Margo and fought Sharamba Mitchell and Baldomir instead>flange behaviour you must admit.Dude, exaggerating the "hotness" of the WW division to suit your agenda isn't 100% unbiased. According to Floyd, his hand were hurt, which is consistent with what we know. Now was it just his hands, IMO no. I think he let contenders fight each other.

Why would anyone duck Floyd? He was a guaranteed big pay check from about 2006 onward and a guarantee of very little damage.Comment
