I'm really getting bored with the content of forums in general I may stop visiting as the news tends to be the same boring insults and non sense.
I edited the title of this thread.
P.S. Love the banner, Piye.
Okey, then let's analyze it.
vs Oscar dela Hoya - Manny, coming up from 2 weight class after having fought just once in the 135 lb wight division against someone who is not even regarded as the best in that division, is considered as the heavy underdog. Almost everyone thought that this fight is a mismatch in favor of Oscar.
vs Hatton - Manny is seen as fighting a live opponent who is comfortable and undefeated in that weight division. Several posters here predicted a win by Ricky and Freddie Roach was ridiculed for predicting an early stoppage within 3 rounds.
vs Cotto - Manny is seen fighting a 'damaged' opponent although that is debatable. Cotto is again on top of a higher division at 154 lbs. Cotto's choice and performance against succeeding opponents will tell us how 'damaged' he really is.
vs Clottey - A fight that Clottey wasn't expected to win so no comment.
vs Margarito - Another one of those considered 'damaged' opponent after his beating at the hands of Mosley. Margarito fought an excellent fight that would have been competitive against some top fighters in the division.
upcoming fight vs Mosley - A fight that should not have been made. This one is for the money and would add nothing to Manny's legacy. But like millions of fans, I will pay to watch this fight.
As you can see from that fight with Oscar dela Hoya alone, Manny has the balls to fight someone who is much bigger than him and whereby he is not even expected to win. But hindsight is 20/20 and that perspective is put into question after the outcome of the fight.
But I agree with most posters in this forum, we can go back and forth and debate as to who really is better between Pacquiao and Mayweather but it will not really answer the question. Let them fight to resolve that issue. Each of them had provided their excuses that resulted in the fight not happening. I hope they do try to negotiate again (the third time) and whoever comes up with another excuse will be the pussy.
