Let It Die A Natural Death

^^This.

Floyd ducked and is a coward for life.

FOH OP, U DKSAB.

I can give you 35 different champions, beltholders from the 4 major bodies, that Pac didn't fight when he was UNDER 135 lbs.

Does that make Pac a duck?

No, cause he fought other guys, most of them worthy champions or fighters in their own right.

No boxer in the history of ever fought everyone his fans wanted him (or her) to.

But you are welcome to keep hating on one of the best fighters ever to do it.

Real credible, that is.

no you couldn't.

[koolkc107]

no you couldn't.

Yeah I can.

Over 35 names that were champs (not just contenders) of the WBO, IBF, WBC, or WBA that Manny just so happened to not fight once he was a champ in the same division...all of it at weights 135 or less.

You bet I can...

yeah had to put up with enough floyd and manny **** in this place for years.

it can be done, i just don't think that you can aggregate it.

Been there, done that a long time ago.

Anyone who has claimed to follow Manny's career should know it too.

[VERSION1 (V1)]

look folks, the last thing i need is to hit this forum and see 250 posts about 2 retired fighters.

Did floyd fight everyone we wanted him to?

Absolutely not...just like pretty much every fighter you can name.

Did floyd fight manny years too late?

Absolutely...and manny fought floyd years too late too- because both men deserve blame for the fight not happening sooner, not just one of them.

Listen, almost any fighter's legacy can be attacked.

For example, pac's record at 147 is often depicted as smoke and mirrors, but i can post info that also indicts his record below 147 and all the way thru almost to his debut.

But, that doesn't mean pac is not a first ballot unanimous hofer even if he never fights above 135.

Bottom line, we need to move on.

It happened the way it happened. One guy will be seen as a bit better but both men will be viewed as in a class by themselves.

Let's just be happy we got to see them fight.

neve never never

I can follow up on it.

I just don't see the point in posting it when my take is that it doesn't detract from Manny's greatness.

Sometimes, there are just bigger fish to fry.

Yeah its time to just accept that both of them are great the if, ands, buts are getting old they can be brought up for both, and its very funny that people love to ignore the many names pac man didn't fight (I wont say duck) yet constantly bring up the same 3 or 4 for Floyd. its all good tho. they are both ATG im more of a Floyd fan but no one can deny Pacs greatness.
