    It really aint about race or color, Pac is just a Beast. You can hit him but he too will hit you and it comes in combos.

    How can you be slick and elusive against a fast combo artist like pac. You got 12 rounds to try and survive but it will be hell. Floyd knows this.
    Yeah genius...how can you be slick and elusive and survive Pac...wait a minute...Marquez did it twice. Stop being a nuthugger. It's easy to give "hell" to fighters that are slow and walk into your punches. Don't jump off a bridge when Floyd does what Marquez did except 100 times more effectively.
    JMM wasn't slick or elusive, he counter punched his way throughout 12 rounds. What the fuck are you talking about?

    Floyd wont even get in the ring with pac cause he knows he aint going to be 100 times more effective against pac.

    Your the one nuthugging floyds pussy where there once balls.

    If Hopkins wasn't an ATG boxer, he'd be just another loudmouth, racist jerk. So basically, he's just a loudmouth, racist ATG boxer. It should surprise no one that Hopkins says things like this. It's ALL about race with him. He reminds me of old Larry Holmes, except that I don't dislike Hopkins as much as I TRULY DISLIKE Holmes. But what else to expect from Hopkins? He's a street dude... self-made... has done his time... shoots from the hip, pays little or no attention to how people might think or feel. Well, actually it's about race and MONEY. He's always quick to point out that boxing is a business, which in itself isn't so bad except that you sort of wish that fighters would at least PRETEND to care about the sport itself. Once in awhile Hopkins crude candor can be refreshing, but most of the time it comes across all wrong, which is why many people dislike the guy.

    Whoever is that slick boxer is, he must throw a good volume of punches too because you can't simply beat manny by picking him apart and throwing very little punches. Doesn't matter if you're black or white, you must throw a good volume of punches against manny because manny is a hell busy fighter and not just simply a busy fighter, realize by now that manny isn't just fast and strong he is actually "accurately fast".

    In recent years, manny had slowed down and sees the game even more slowed and that's because he had favored to be more accurate rather than be ridiculously super fast but wastes punches as he plowed in. His mastery of angles is also a problem itself even to those so called slick fighters. in fact, angling is a more rare style than slicks are.

    My opinion is the best fighter than can beat manny is still a marquez type of a fighter. A counter puncher who also throws a good volume of punches. But one can argue, that the manny pacquiao version that marquez had fought to a draw and a controversial loss has long been gone and instinct, the new one is more versatile and a lot more tricky with his mastery of right hook,left cross, in and out plus heavy side to side movements and angles. This version is even more problematic to face with than ever before.

    Yeah. If JMM was so elusive then how come he got knocked down 5 times (counting the one when he held the rope) against Pac?










    Even a slow Barrera caught him with a good one (or two)



    Plus Pac fought him twice in their best weight class. Floyd fought him at Floyd's best weightclass after he cheated JMM at the weigh-in scale.



    Floyd is catchable too...

    Simmer down and get Pac's balls out of your dirty mouth. JMM isn't slick compared to Floyd...but than again, no one is. Marquez, out of all the fighters Pac has faced, made him miss the most and countered him the best. Now, try to wrap this around your pea sized brain. Floyd is a better athlete than anyone Pac has faced. He is more intelligent and more skilled. Pac could have fought him earlier but he was scared of a needle. When they do fight...and they will, because it will be one of the biggest pay days of all time...there will be no stationary target to make your glorified hero look good.

    Philippine boxing will stay, it has been there for decades if you know world boxing history. Where is all this anger coming from? Did a Filipino take your job or something?

    Pacquiao has fought the majority of his career where there are just not that many African American fighters. From Flyweight to Lightweight the divisions are dominated by Puerto Rican or Mexican fighters. Manny is from the Philippines and along with Japanese and Thai boxers they are in the majority. You don't see the African American fighters come into prominence until at least the 140lb division and upwards. What has Hopkins been drinking?
    I don't see the point of what he is saying at all.

    Some people use that type of calculation to sum up the entirety of boxing... Person A beat person B, Person B lost to person a but beat person C, Person C lost to person A but bead person D, Person D beat Person A, Pearson E beat all except Person C, Person F beat Person A

    And finally, Person G beat Person F....

    So that makes Person F the greatest of all time..


    So it will count for those people..
