Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: A Decade of Dominance Honored

[NesNY]

why do people question the reason why Floyd didn't win?
It's simple. He quit. He stopped fighting boxers and fought The Big Show instead. Then when he came back, instead of a bonafide Welter (Punisher, Margarito, Manny), he took on a lightweight. Then he took on Shane, respectable...but inactive (fact), overtrained (confessed by his trainer) and 38 yrs old (as proven by his birth certificate).

Floyd is a boxing and money-making machine, but he certainly ain't no media darling.
He didn't win because he simply didn't deserve it, and the public image he displays is that of the stereotypical distraught "used-to-be-poor black youth with money so I'm gonna flash it now that I have it." The MTV Cribs rapper life. The Pacman Jones life.

Floyd is still an incredible fighter, and even in his 30's, there isn't a boxer who can match his skill set. Methodically breaks down opponents, tough chin, good speed, sick ring generalship (especially the way he clowned Shane), etc.
Dude has it all. But the critics still ask what's the motive behind USADA testing a guy who has a superstition about giving blood (a well-founded superstition that stemmed from a Loss after a previous blood test too close to the fight against Morales).

Floyd could've fought those welters and beat em, but he didn't. he quit. he left. Had he stayed and fought (and beat) Margs, Punisher, Shane (which we all know he can beat all 3).....then EASILY FOTD. And arguably top 15 or even 10....ATG.

He had a few good years and you give him the decade? Where was Pac in 200? 2001? 2002? 2003? 2004? I mean come on this award is such bull****. And he never DOMINATED Marquez and the first fight with Morales Pacquiao was dominated.

its all manny and its not even close...

*****s and these so-called boxing historians/experts may say otherwise but the real ones voted for manny

[whirlwind]

If I was Floyd I would:

1) Smash Manny's ass
2) Beat Martinez
3) Beat Williams if he's still standing (optional)
Then retire and when the BS writers try to give me an award I would tell them to f--k off and go give it to Manny. LMFAO

You want a piece of advice? Give your balls to Floyd since you more of a man than him.

Thats too many excuses in my book. Because if you want to look at the fighter based on their undefeated record then you might as well follow fighters like Chris John, and Chavez Jr. who until now are still undefeated. And elevate them in the P4P list.

If you want to look at excuses then you can say that Floyd's win against undefeated fighters were even suspect at best. Corales was dehydrated and was mentally unfocused (facing jail time), and people thought he lost against Castillo.

Every fighter's resume can be broken down to excuses. It is what people say before the fight that matters. And in almost all of Pac's fight, it was either Pac was the underdog, 50/50, or at best Pac being a slight favorite.

And here is the thing, Pac has 3 loses and had been in many wars himself. When Floyd beats Pac, if that fight ever did happen, then we might as well discredit him for that win as early as now.

LOL, but did John and Chavez Jr win world titles in 5 different divisions? That's a absolute joke to dare mention John and Chavez Jr in the same book as PBF. Your a preschool boxing fan dude it's clear.

Now let me give you some real advice. Stop studying Manny and study boxing then you may be capable of holding a real conversation about boxing.

[Sugar Q]

But we aren't talking about records and bull**** like this, we are talking about real fights. In the real fights Floyd lost once against a prime Castillo. And how can you say he fought the best in every division. Was Baldomir the best at welter, was Gatti the best at junior welter, was Oscar de la Hoya the best at 154? You know that's what I mean when I say you guys are a bit to much into being just fans.

1) Corrales @130
2) Castillo @135
3) Gatti and Corley @ 140 (Zu didnt want none)
4) Zab, Baldomir and Mosley @147
5) DeLaHoya @154

Now you tell me which ones weren't the best or amongst the best when PBF fought them?

Love how these thick ***** f.ucks think they are smarter than the collective minds of AMERICA's top boxing writers and journalists!

Stop crying like bitches you sour g**** munching farts!
