Yes Floyd has Manny when it comes to handspeed by a slight margin, but not in the power category.


if trusty science has taught be anything speed times weight=power ...mayweather has the heavier and faster hands

 

[japanair21]

His fans are the most godawful annoying things on Earth.

It's nothing against Manny the boxer, or Manny the person, but his blind followers who just praise him who don't know a lick about boxing makes mecringe.

And they're EVERYWHERE.


It's like being a fan of Michael Jordan but not knowing another basketball player in the world.

My co-worker last night was like "YEAAAH BOY PACQUIAO BEAT KATO!!"

What the hell is a Kato?

. Trying to tell me he's undefeated, and then try to say well he's undefeated recently.

It's just the fact that so many Manny fans come out of the woodworks every fight he has and try to talk all big, when they don't really know anythingoutside of Manny. He's an exciting fighter, he's a great fighter, but his fans are the most annoying things in the world.

I've loved Manny since his first fight on HBO I caught way back when, back when the average Filipino didn't even know who the cat was. But past fewyears it's been unbearable to watch the dude without having Filipino's across the globe yap their mouth about dude and how great he is.

95% of the people who were in this thread will disappear until the next Manny fight, which is

in it's own right.

I never claim to know as much as the rest of the dudes in here like Gunner, Stringer, Huey, or Rob, but I just enjoy the sport, and it's just real sketchto always see these fanboys come in here yap for a week about how great Manny is without knowing anyone else in the sport.

[hueyp in louiev]

Manny generates a lot of power because of the weird angles that he throws from combined with his blazing speed.

Like someone said earlier, Floyd has underrated power though.

 

[bigmike23]

how long does it take for this fools to go MIA again?

 

[shuges]

I'm not the greatest boxing pro or anything, so I want to ask the diehards....

With Cotto's face looking like mush again, does this "legitimize" the beating Margarito gave him?

Ah okay, I think I get it. You don't dislike him, you just wish he'd lose so people would stop talking him up so much.

Not that I've ever seen, but that's in large part to his shoulder roll defense and one-punch-at-a-time offense that won't allow him to be wideopen for a flush power shot.

Kinda makes me wonder though, Money won bronze in '96. Where the hell are the guys who won gold and silver?

[edword]

[hueyp in louiev]

yep. thats why Im givin his chin credit *pause*
Pacs defense is very suspect, thats why I have my worries about Pac. but he is an offensive buzz saw.

He took some very sound punches, even admitted he was hurt.
Cotto was just "scared" to capitalize. to me, that shows Cotto needs to hang em up. if youre too scared of takin punches when theres opportunity toland and give out punishment, its time to hang em up

 

[sir rob a lot]

I agree 100% with JapanAir.

 

[hueyp in louiev]

I hate Brian Kenny.

Exactly Gunna.

That the most disheartening thing I saw from Cotto last night but like you said Pac Mans offense is potent and would have any boxer second guessing.

Still MAC has lost something in the last 2 years.

I understand where u coming from, especially the fact that there are some fans that are ignorant to the sport of boxing aside from Pac, but yougotta understand where filipinos are coming from as well. We ain't got NOBODY we could look up to. He's the Fighting Pride of the Philippines. Wedon't have a plethora of international superstars, celebrities, athletes, from the Philippines that have made a global impact. We're just proud of himand proud that he is representing our country....that's all.

 

[bigmike23]

if mayweather and Manny fight it wont be at any catch weight. if roach and pacman team try to throw a catch weight out there the fight is never going tohappen. floyd and his team ant dumb to fall for that

and thats why Manny is a better P4P fighter than Mayweather,

IMO MM's camp is goin to duck anything roach throws out there

 

[sir rob a lot]

Just noticed the Thread Title Change!

LETS GET THIS 'Dre!!! "Time to rise to the occasion."

 

[bigmike23]

so why should PBF kill himself to make 145? he cant make it so dont even waste time doing it

mayweather is also a big money maker so it ant like arum and roach can force him to make 145 like they did cotto

this. Yeah there are Manny fans who are to excessive. but in reality... a Pacman fight is the only event where we can be proud to be filipino. As sad as itsounds, it's the truth. I actually don't want to see Cotto hang em up. I've always liked him as a boxer. Dude looked real focused coming into thefight too... even after the first round.
