Well halo1 theirs a difference between the ring smarts as described by Roach that Manny has and the smarts that JMM has shown for many years. If you've followed boxing for years you can clearly see and know what I'm talking about.

That is true Manny has improvesd and is getting smarter.
Well halo1 ring smarts have won JMM more rounds then Pac has won in both fights.
You can't be serious?
Every brawler/fighter Pac has faced he's knocked out.
Everytime Pac has faced a boxer or someone who moves and uses the ring he's had to work for it and or has had difficulties, not necessarly with the fighter it could be just himself.

That was the old Manny?
The won that fought JMM
last year.
Manny has looked great no doubt but as I discussed prior to your arrival to this site and around the time the ODLH fight was announced and the Diaz fight those 2 performances didn't mean much to me as I predicted prior to the fights Pac would beat both with ease.
Manny looked great vs. ODLH because let's face it is was corpse up there in the ring a boxer who was done and had no business fighting at 147 even more so. The Diaz fight was nothing more then a gimmie/set up fight now the Hatton 2 round destruction was amazing.

Time is what will eventually beat JMM the more time passes the easier it will be for Manny to defeat JMM.
JMM is a veteran who IMO is down to possibly 3 fights more then it'll be time. Considering now he's fighting PBF he's probably down to 2 fights.
I really don't think he can beat PBF but god will I use up all my prayers for him to do it.
JMM-Pac III needs to happen and with a JMM win we can see fight IV, followed with another JMM win and we will see fight V and this will go down as the greatest EVER matchup in sports history.
I can dream can't I. ;D
(Notice how I didn't predict a winner for the final bout, I'm not that big of a JMM-Nut hugger ;) )
