Well, it's not. There's fundamental differences between what JMM does and what PBF does. And these differences are significant enough that to say...
What was your final score, overall then? So you gave Pacquiao, 1,3,4 and 12. And had him winning how many of rounds, 5-11?
I think without question Pacquiao won rounds 1-4 and round 12. There's little debate when it comes to these round. So my question to those...
I was with you until you suggested that RJJ and PBF were somehow on a different level than JMM and Pacquiao. They're not.
I don't know how you can say he's been well-matched when he's faced just about everyone without prejudice. Could it simply be that JMM is a great...
That's a gross over-simplification, not to mention flat out false, to say that PBF brings what Marquez brings, only to a higher, more skillful...
You're ridiculous with comments like this. You're so off base in fact I'm not as sure what you even mean except that it seems you're suggesting...
It's a good question. Is Manny super human or carefully matched? Is Jmm superhuman too? Might this settle things?
A better question is why Jmm didn't fight more aggressively, knowing he wouldn't win the decision in a close fight (I thought Pacquiao won it...
Regardless who you thought won, Jmm performed much better than expected. Also, regardless who you thought won, the stats favor Pacquiao...
I don't quite follow. Last I heard Manny was going to Showtime. Why would Hbo commentators go out of their way to portray the fight in favor of...
Even when JMM did manage to counter, he was often hit in the process.
Ability to take punches. Ok. Does that include his ability to not get hit with shot after shot thrown square on his chin? Or his ability to...
Thing is, as tall as Paul is, it's hard for his opponents to get leverage on the shots they throw to his head. Unless you're Martinez, of course.
I think the amount of hard punches that Angulo threw for as extended period of time as he did (stupidly) seems nearly unprecendented. He...
:giggle: :giggle:
I guess I'm referring to situations in which a fighter, such as PBF, gets bent out of shape and whines like a girl when the interviewer does...
I agree. Just when you're sure he's a feather-weight, he beats Juan Diaz in a slug-fest at 135. And just when you think he's a over-achieving...
It might seem like an over-simplification, but the bottom line is, Angulo simply punched himself out. Doesn't mean he wasn't well trained. Same...
Manny's going to fck up JMM's timing in ways he couldn't in the first two fights. In the first two fights, JMM had Pacquiao completely figured out...
Of all of the guys up there calling fights, whether it's analysts, blow-by-blow, post-fight interviewers (Grey), I identify most with Merchant....
"I'm so excited I could watch these guys fight for days." -Merchant prior to calling Chavez/Taylor I
In some ways, it might even have a better chance of happening if Pacquiao somehow loses to JMM. It'd give PBF the negotiating leverage his...
I pray Kirkland gets a shot at ginger and beats him. At the same time, I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch with Angulo, but if it's up to Kirkland,...
Which must be one of the reasons Pacquiao has reportedly been training harder than ever for this fight. For being what's called a match-up of...
That's a good point. He's much better in a role in which he's attacking the establishment, and protesting injustices. As a guy who's now largely...
I addressed this in another thread, but here's what I said: I think people are being too hard on Max. The opposite extreme, in which the guy...
Well, I think that's what's so funny. It's fairly obvious to everyone except himself apparently that his obsession with gayness is all about his...
:atu: That's right. Paul Williams is therefore crap, and Kirkland is hall of fame bound. I think it's pretty clear the way things are.
Because of the wraps. You'll see.
