Broner would beat all the above. Thos guys have been in too many battles to beat that kind of talent at this point. And I'm not all the surprised Manny lost to be honest. I was hoping he he would win but I saw it coming. The way he fights and the competition he was fighting, he was bound to lose. And don't be happy. If Floyd don't cherry pick another opponent, his time IS coming. Just wait and see.

I will ask you again, who has Broner beaten? Name me one guy who would make the top 10 P4P. Just one guy.

You say Floyd cherry picks, yet cant name a quality opponent Broner has beaten. You are mad, get over it.

I'm not big into boxing or anything but I like Pacquiao.

It's funny to see the Mayweather fans come in gloating after Pac got KO'ed. It's like Cowboys fans gloating after the Redskins lose to a team that isn't the Cowboys.

ok cool bud

And the Broner bandwagon has begun.

JMM stated before the fight, ' I am looking to knock him out'.
He knew what he had to do...and I had him losing also at that point...but wow.
Skip that trip. The set up is JMM and May or Pac vs. May,,,,either way...fights I will look forward to.
I expected Pac to lose tonight.

I feel like Pac is like De La Hoya. I never thought he was great either. He was very good...but not great.

I thought Pac would lose but the judges would give him the fight like last year. Never saw that KO coming.


And Broner is legit. I have no problem with people jumping on that bandwagon, just dont say ridiculous things like he hte best boxer in the world when he hasnt beaten anyone great yet.

[Mr. Sinister]

Can't say that I expected that outcome...

That's what I call a "Good Night Irene." For me it's Good Night Irene on Pacquaio. I enjoyed watching him fight, but now I no longer will be ordering anymore. I'm not going to be interested in Mayweather popping him for 12 rounds.

I admit, Broner hasn't really fought anyone yet. But I bet you Floyd, JMM or Pacquiao won't fight him. While we're talking competition, whe was the last time Floyd faced a real threat? Someone who had a legitimate shot at erasing his 0. Old Mosley? Overrated Ortiz? A shot Cotto? We'll see if he fights Alverez in May.

[Mr. Sinister]

I honestly can't remember the last time where I didn't think Floyd would win a fight comfortably (being honest with myself, because even though I don't really like Floyd, he is a great fighter).

Honestly, if I were facing Floyd, I'd keep hammering his arms to make him get out of that crab. Don't care if I had to sacrifice 3-4 rds doing it. He is one of the best defensive fighters I've ever seen. Dude is like Fort Knox. I think that's the only way to beat him, unless a fighter with brute force/speed that could relentlessly put pressure on him by crowding him (and could counter his counter punches) comes along.

[DM72]

And Floyd only fights guys that really have absolutely no shot. We'll see if he fights the naturally bigger and younger Saul Alverez or avoid him as he did Pacquiao and Sergio Martinez.

[Mr. Sinister]

Yeah, I'm down with Canelo/Floyd. Pac/Floyd is now out of sight and out of mind.

[DM72]

If I were a betting man, I'd bet he'll fight Guerrero instead.

The "no shot" game can be spun with damn near every fighter after the fight is completed. That game is pointless to play.

Its not really a duck/avoidance when you get into the 154lb range. They make weight classes for a reason, I don't necessarily consider it a duck/avoidance of Pac or Mayweather for staying away from Martinez (who can fight comfortably at 160).

Although I do see the Canelo/Floyd match being a high possibility of getting made.

Guerrero then Canelo is most likely scenario.

Still, are you gonna really argue that Floyd didn't avoid Pac and to a lesser extent Martinez? If it was just one or maybe two guys I can see your point, but there's at least 4 or 5 guys that Floyd has ducked in his career. Lets not play games, he wanted no part of Tszyu or Margarito back in the day and he came up with excuse after excuse over the past three years to not fight Pacquiao. From drug testing, to retiring in his prime, to money. There was always something. I know Arum was at fault also, but Floyd didn't help.

[SiCkSoULjA]

Man those gifs had me crying the laughing the Michael Jackson one is the greatest ever.

On the fight I am not happy Manny got put down, I am truly upset that Mayweather wasn't the one that do that too him. That outcome vs Mayweather was pretty much set in stone the way PAC leaves his self open too counters. Damn

DM lol Broner the best fighter right now with no significant win. Broner is my second favorite fighter next too Mayweather but he's not in the mans class right now not yet anyway. Floyd vs Saul lets get it on!!!!!!

[NoCalMike]

And we're going to pretend now that Arum didn't hand pick opponents for Pac either?

He chose guys who walked straight into punches no head movement, more fighters than boxers. Cotto, Margarito, Hatton, (Over the hill De La Hoya), etc etc....

I guarantee the only reason JMM/Pac 3 even happened was because they forced JMM to move up to a weight they felt he would be too slow at to keep up with Pac's pace, and they figured Pac's workrate would be too much, and would lead to JMM breaking down over 12 rounds, the saw Floyd did to to JMM in 2009.

[AsiaticSkinsFan]

That's exactly why Pac/JMM 3 happened. They believed it would be an easy fight and Manny could close out the serious impressively. Instead it exposed the flaws in Pacquiao and why he was never going to beat Floyd.

I think the jab is the best bet. He doesn't defend that well against a good jab.

1. You can blame ya boy Floyd for that and I don't wanna hear that just because JMM DID it, that autimatically means Floyd would have.

2. As for Floyd vs Alverez. Don't hold your breath. Ya boy has another fighter to avoid now.

If he was hand picking opponents for Pacquiao, there's no way in hell he would have chosen JMM. In a way, Pacquiao deserved it by giving him yet another chance. Now we'll just sit back and watch ya boy chose Guerrero over Alverez.

I guess Mayweather fans our gonna steal JMM's victory and make it their own.

I'm not even the biggest Broner fan but the kid would beat anyone from 135-147 right now. Again, when was the last time Floyd had a significant win?

Guerrero has earned a fight with Floyd in his last two fights. I was skeptical about the move up in weight, but he's answered those questions. Choosing Guerrero over Canelo next doesn't constitute a duck, no matter how much you wish it true.

Again, when was the last time Floyd had a significant win?

not this **** again
