Whats up with the Puerto Ricans lately?

[dondi330]

There are exceptions ot every rule. Just because you say you're looking forward to it does not mean what I said is invalidated.

Spend a few days here in NSB and you'll get the gist of what I was touching on.

Manny and Cotto fans have been going out of their way to **** on this one for no apparent reason, other than hatred/dislike/contempt for Floyd or Marquez.

Well you did not exactly validate what your saying by generalizing either.
Maybe you should have named your thread: Whats up with SOME of the Puerto Ricans lately?
It would have been more appropriate to what your trying to say.
I know all my Puerto Rican friends, not even just some Know and respect both Floyd and Juan...I know because their all coming to my house for the fight and poker...lol

I'm glad you bring that up, the "Let's hope he chooses the legacy fights after this". I believe he will, if Mayweather's next opponent isn't SSM, Cotto or Pacquiao, then we have a problem. It ain't like he'll fight Khan eh?

Exactly. His legacy fights are his money fights. No excuses if he doesn't fight them. I'd favor Floyd against all three.

This isn't even my thread.

And I mentioned Manny and Cotto's "huggers".

I never said anything about their legit fans.

There is a difference between a fan and a nuthugger.

I thought everybody knew that already.

Im not saying that Marquez is by any means the perfect fight for Floyd, but how in the hell can you not want to see him fight someone as skilled as Marquez?

Its not like Mayweather is the sort of guy who 'imposes his size' on his opponents anyway, he never has been even when he did have a size advantage.

Im more interested in this than when Mayweather fought Hatton.

Reason being: Styles make fights.

The same hype this fight is getting in the sense of Marquez having this chance is the same way they swayed people to believing Hatton was going to beat Floyd.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Marquez and think he is one of the tops, but where the smoke and mirrors comes into play is how they rank Marquez #2 on the P4P rankings, so all of a sudden it's a genuine fight when in reality Marquez would lose to Mosley, Cotto, and possibly Pacquiao again. Now, this isn't to say Floyd WON'T inevitably fight these guys, but after the Hatton fight I made it very apparent I wasn't going to buy another Mayweather PPV until he gets in with the real challenges, and I truthfully don't see Marquez as a big challenge.

Crucify me if you will, but I'm just not sold on this fight.

I'm not puerto rican and floyd is an ATG but this fight is a tune up for floyd.

Have you ever answered my question to why you have that tale of the tape all the time?
Are you a Urkal fan too?
If you already answered ,excuse me.

No one is hating on the fight. The thing is other than Mayweather and Marquez fans not to many people are excited for this fight. Marquez is a counter puncher and like Bob Arum said "Floyd will be running around the ring" Floyd will pitty pat his way in to a decision against Marquez.

I am way more excited for the undercard than the Mayweather-Marquez main event.

Thats false, people who say this haven't seen much of Mayweather. Remember also, Ganero was also a counter puncher and Mayweather wen't in there to fight. Note: Ganero is bigger then Marquez but he isn't nearly as good, Marquez is leagues better. Notice that when Mayweather is facing an opponent that is smaller/ a little bigger or around his size, he destroys them. Mayweather isn't gonna run but he will be cautious of Marquez's right straight, which Marquez could land with pin point accuracy down the middle or Marquez's uppercut, which comes out of no where.

I don't think it has to be with being Puertorrican, it's the kind of fight that divides opinions, that's it. BTW I'm Puertorrican and I'm a fan of both but JMM is my favorite active fighter.

Excuse me for mistaken that you made the thread. NOW..

"Manny and Cotto fans have been going out of their way to **** on"
Im sorry you were saying?- The Bringer/
We were not even discussing legit or not but this is you statement right...lol

[supRa]

Pacquiao huggers and Cotto huggers are cut from the same cloth ; if their "guy" ain't fighting, they either ignore the card completely or go out of their way to **** all over it.

Especially when you consider Cotto fans hate Floyd (for the most part), and Manny fans hate Marquez (again, for the most part).

Mayweather vs. Marquez is going to be electric and I'm looking forward to it much more than Pacquiao/Cotto because to me ; Floyd/Juan Manuel is a much more interesting technical fight, whereas Manny/Miguel is basically a foregone conclusion ; Pacquiao stretches him.

EXACTLYYYYYYYYYY

its sttuuupid.. and annoyin how they react..
