    Well, given the recent news tr will pursue a fourth match-up with JMM, you don't need me to point out why Pacquiao may have made it closer than he needed to. It's not fair to Jmm to speculate, but that round was strange, was it not?

    This is pretty obvious & I said as much prior to the fight.
    Manny has lost a step and killer instinct AND was fighting his "Norton".

    And as MWS said (& I have also said), PBF has slowed down but has compensated for it in other ways because he is such an amazingly skilfull boxer. I think that PBF is as effective now as ever. In fact I prefer the way he stays in the pocket now to the way he used to pot shot & run.

    It was definitely the ninth round. In it, pac used different foot-work, shorter punches, greater speed.

    It's no surprise that he would be declining. People tend to forget he took a good amount of punishment in the Cotto and Margarito fights himself. You also have to wonder how jumping up to such higher than normal weights would affect him in the long run.

    Has anyone else studied the ninth round? And seen the drastic difference in Manny's fighting style, compared to other rounds?

    I swear, it's uncanny.

    I'm going to go over the fight photos between the 8th and 9th round and see if i can find Panama Lewis hiding in the crowd somewhere.

    The evidence fits.

    Nar Neilgro, nothing bigoted about me, I just don't like loadedgloves.

    He's the biggest hypocrite on this forum. He accuses others of being nuthuggers, but he's actually the single biggest nuthugger here, worse than Sly.

    He thinks Floyd is the best fighter ever, and Pacquaio is a journeyman :lol:

    He's basically a total chode.

    Dude if the definition of "nuthugger" around here is someone who thinks Floyd is an all time great and thinks that he's as or more difficult to beat than any fighter in history....then I am still the single biggest Nuthugger here. Don't overrate LG's nuthugging abilities! :nono:

    Hahaha, ok Sly, fair point - conceded. I guess the key difference is your posts are fairly entertaining, and less like an obnoxious 9 year old. Plus you don't really accuse others of being nuthuggers. The hypocrisy is the main point actually.

    No...the difference is I make a strong case for any of my opinions. You, for example, just spout bullshit, without even trying to back it up logically. :giggle:

    No, your posts are generally illogical, the only reason I forgive them is they're entertaining :lol:

    wow. you're an all-in dick-sucker aren't you? let me get this straight. in the last 10 years, there's been not one, but two all-time greatest fighters ever? RJJ and PBF?

    why don't you just accept that you have a serious hard-on for urban flash fighting and we'll leave it at that. why must you drag us all through this?

    I don't like Judah, Gainer and quite a few other flashy black fighters.

    But Mayweather and Jones are/were incredible talents.

    don't forget third-world win-me-some-food fighting - the kind that's given rise to the nearly slow-motion deep-leverage upper-cuts thrown by Columbians, necessitated by a state of near starvation during fight-time when throwing a punch that's hard enough to hurt is a lot like getting blood from a turnip.

    That's only one part of the equation though. What's really missing is your throat-choking enthusiasm for anything but urban flash fighters.

    Good point, the malnourished, 3rd world fighting can be pretty scrubby for sure.

    However what you can't help being entertained by is the elite form of 3rd world win-food-fighting which is 2 Mexican journeymen ferociously going at it - the "I really, really want my enchilada dinner" fighting.
