I think the thing that sets JMM apart from anyone else is his ring intellect and his ability to adapt on the fly. There isn't another fighter alive that could recover from a Pacquiao three knockdown first round the way he did to come back and essentially dominate. I think the comparison to Hopkins is valid in the sense that both fighters are incredibly cerebral and able to adjust and take advantage of their opponents' weaknesses on the fly. I think as boxing fans, we should appreciate what the man brings to the game and salute him for exemplifying the fact that this is the sweet science.
