    What's funny is that some people love to argue about fantasy fights and if this fight didn't happen I'm sure somebody in the future would spend time arguing about who would have won between JMM vs. PBF/MM. So we might as well try to enjoy the fight (between two great boxers) when it happens for real. If it sucks... we're boxing fans, we've been through that before and can get over it. If it's just OK, we'll at least be able to talk about the fight with people. If it turns out to be an unexpected classic, we will have memories that can last a lifetime.

      second of all, did you read the first damn line? holy hell bud. go back and read it for me
      "I hate to generalize like this, so forgive me, not all of them are doing it of course, but it just seems like a lot of them are completely downplaying"
      You Generalize, Admit it, apologize, and then contradict yourself by saying "not all of them, and you wonder why your statement is confusing?
      WHatever...I made my point, Im out.
      Not all Puerto Ricans know boxing and not all dont know boxing, not all are Floyd or JMM fans and some are, I am one who respects both their skills.

      How would this come off:
      I hate to generalize, so forgive me, not all of the Blacks are doing this, but it seems like many Black People.........
      I dont think most Black people would even like whatever came next.

        "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
        In my initial post I clearly called them "huggers".

        That's who I was talking about in my subsequent posts, as well.

        I may have slipped and said "fans" when I meant "huggers", but my initial post made it clear who it was that I was speaking about.

        Real Pacquiao fans and real Cotto fans are pretty hyped for this one from the short convos I've had with them.

          what exactly do puerto ricans have to do with this ****? most of us are cotto fans(i happen to be a fan of may,pac,cotto,jmm) and i think most of us are content with the pac fight.

          are puerto ricans at fault for why this fight hasn't sold tickets well? seriously, this thread is mad random.

            I very obviously was saying that some (which means not all)Puerto Ricans were following a trend, and if you cant figure that out, then youre an idiot. and Puerto Rico is a place, not a race, goofball.

            youre being a overreacting little woman, and you know it.

              Hoooooooly ****balls ; you just opened a rather large can of worms with that one, my man.

              I've been down that road before.

                youre right, I should have left out the America part. bad choice.

                  people harp on about the weight, which yes is something to consider, but Mayweather hasnt fought in about 2 years now, right? besides, Marquez has been weighing in over 140 on fight night for a while anyway. hes still obviously the smaller man, but dont exaggerate. yall were dead wrong when you said the same thing about Pacquiao-De La Hoya.

                  and even if Marquez is over his head because of the size differential and everything, you dont go through a fight with guys as talented as these two without being impressed with the skill level.

                  Im all for this PPV, it has a great undercard and theyre simply marketing it smart. I hope other big cards take note, and even improve on it.
                  Hey don't judge us all based on a few biased nuthuggers, I'm PRican and I've been waiting anxiously for this fight ever since it was announced. They are my two favorite active boxers and it is definitely gonna be a great matchup with a great undercard.

                      i dont get the hate on this place.... cotto vs pac in nov thats the main fight this year for me, of course i am gonna watch jmm vs floyd. not paying for it but def watching it. if you are a real fan of the sport theres no way that you will miss this fight. ( ill be rolling a couple and rooting for marquez all the way)
