please....everybody. do yourselves a favor and rewatch the paul williams-margarito fight. nah really. get something to eat, kick back and watch this shyt and tell me pwill wasn't a special talent.








look at how fast pwill was. how accurate. the lateral movement. the foot work. this was Pwill in his prime. I feel like pwill pulled a jay z and dumbed himself down after this fight just to get people to fight him. Pwill wasn't no slow plodding uncoordinated fighter. he had the attributes of a short fighter in a 6'2 frame and 79 inch reach. he couldve easily boxed exactly like he did vs margarito and made easy work of anybody. Floyd is one of the greatest ever, but I would take that version of pwill any day. not necessarily because he's better than floyd, but because his style and physical advantages woulda been extremely difficult for floyd to overcome.

a special wasted talent

In the end Manny was no different than any other Floyd opponent.....Scared of getting countered by Floyd's right. For as much as people say he's feather fisted, he felt something he didn't like and that's why he was so tentative.

While this was expected that floyd would control the range and distance with his 5 inch reach advantage and I wanted Floyd to win, in some ways I'm a bit disappointed in Manny in that I honestly thought he'd go for broke win or lose.

Mentally Manny isn't the same fighter after getting stretched by Marquez. I bet he kept replaying that KO in his head against Floyd which made him tentative & be happy he went the distance

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Manny Pacquiao is reported as saying, ‘If he stood still a little more, I would have hit him a little more’. That’s like saying if the goal was bigger the ball would have gone in. When manny said that I was like :dwillhuh:


It's really crazy how cultural differences can be seen, all of the British sites are basically saying it was a masterclass exhibition from Floyd, yet Americans just can't appreciate subtle brilliance. This country gotta have the worst attention spans in the world.

Somebody needs to get a clean view of that counter-right Floyd landed in the opening minute or two of rd 1...probably the hardest punch Floyd landed all night...that was the shot that played a large part in dictating Pac's lack of aggression imo... Pac darted in with his patented stutter step foot feint, jab-jab left hand...and felt that counter-right in return and probably started having flashbacks and shyt. :damn::deadmanny:

I also noticed Pac's feints were ineffective all night...he couldn't lure Floyd into shyt...the only time when Pac landed clean shots were ironically counter punches that weren't set up by feints or sporadic bursts of offense.
The impact of that shot was loud. That and the uppercut in the final rds.

I dunno brehs, Floyd likes to move away and block punches with his fists or just moves out of way. He doesn't block punches with his face like Antonio Margarito. Floyd is funny like that.
