        Look at his name change history, I think this is the real one.

        The name changing feature here doesn't allow you to change your name to a previously used one, even if it's your own. That's why I'm 'BrometheusBob.' instead of 'BrometheusBob'.
        You srs? Fuuuu I'll never be Hanz again but I stole this name from someone

          He was shockingly accurate. Boxing fans are extremely petty. The skill difference between the two was surprising to me. The only thing that made the fight competitive was Manny's power. If it wasn't for Manny's explosive power that fight would have been a shut out.

            He was pretty much right...but I'd still rather have seen the fight back then, instead of watching 2 guys past their primes spar for 12 rounds.

              Ya his opinion from 7 years ago doesn't mean **** for 2015. And honestly if he thought he was that basic he wouldn't have had his lowest punch output and bent over at the waist or clinched every time manny got close.

                Maybe it's case sensitive. Was the other person 'CatchweightKing' exactly?

                    He never said he was going to slug it out with Manny. Not even seven years ago. He did say he would outbox him, which is what happened. And Floyd's punch output has been declining for years.

                    If the fight happened in 2010, it would have been more explosive but the same guy would have won. His jab, reach advantage, footspeed, and spoiling tactics would have given Manny problems even back then.

                      What a lot of folks don't get is that the wait made the fight MORE competitive, not less.

                      A Floyd that had thoroughly dominated JMM would have done the same to Pac in 2010.

                      And a Pac that wasn't gunshy from getting KOed in 2013 probably walks into a Mayweather right hand the same way in 2010.
