    Demolished their boxing 'careers' that is, and very convincingly on DLH and Marco. Althought JMM is still in the ranking but I don't think he's got a chance to beat Manny now. And I don't think a lot of people will be thrilled to watch it after Manny beat bigger guys.

    Everybody in the Philippines knwo that a lot of mexicans despise DLH for "beating Chavez" per se. I didn't see the fight but from you words it sounds like he beat Chavez with his mouth too, which is not a class act. So you seem to disklike arrogant boxer but you're so high on Mayweather. ;)

    It was the way that Oscar acted after the fight that I didn't like. Oscar was never openly arrogant. I don't hate anyone who is arrogant and can back it up. Why would you put, beating Chavez, in quotes like it didn't really happen. He destroyed Chavez, twice.

    Also I don't care what country a boxer comes from. I am boxing fan first. I am not a fan of Mexican style boxing. I am entertained by it, but I would much rather see a great "chess match" between two highly skilled technicians. I thoroughly enjoy the technical aspect of the sport. Don't get me wrong, I love a war in the ring, but I would prefer to watch someone systemically break down their opponent with skill.

    I don't care if a boxer talks ****, that is part of the mental game. All I care about, is if they handle their business on fight night.

    I had Marquez winning the second fight with Marquez.

    Paquiao only beat Morales when Erik was coming off of a loss. When a fighter like Erik loses to a fighter like Raheem, I think the writing is on the wall. Morales was done. Raheem, Pacquaio, and even Diaz all proved it, not just Pac.

    You really think Manny demolished careers?

    Marco and DLH? Those careers were already made and headed to the Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Your obviously a Paquiao fan, I'm a boxing fan. As a boxing fan, I want to see the best fight possible, so I'm asking you, the Pacquaio fan, why won't Manny take the Olympic style testing?

    Well, can you demolish anything at all that is not existing yet?

    About your question, one thing I can tell you. Filipino boxing fans know how Manny's boxing career started and developed. He was already known for his speed and power punches. It's not something that came up now. So to think that he's onto something, no sir. I think I posted something in this thread about how superstitious Manny is. That's the closest possible explanation I can give you.

    You mad?

    I'm also guessing the difference in weight class would prevent that

    What?

    Oh, ok. Being superstitious is going make someone just leave 50 million on the table, let another fighter question his integrity, and give fans a reason to believe he's a cheater?

    I'm not buying such weak excuse. He's either on PEDs or he's afraid of Mayweather, that's the only logical explanations and I don't think Manny is afraid of any fighter so...

    If it was real I would cut to cruiser. My weight is always between 203 and 205.

    I have a hard time getting below 203. I'm 6'3" though. What tournament are you fighting in? Brian (strength and conditioning coach for Savannah's) actually wins Golden Gloves every year and tries to get me to do it but I have not been able to take the time out.

    I'm not even sure, my trainer told me about it, and he said it was in the Woodlands in September. So hes got me training and cutting down to 200.

    Can't wait bro. Business aside Danny's like my little brother. It will mean a lot when he holds that WBO Championship in the air

    Dangerous fight for Danny don't you think? For both guys, actually. Both undefeated. Pirog is no pushover. Very skilled, has the better defense and probably the better counter puncher in my opinion. The kid has power too so it will be an interesting fight.

    I also heard that Juan Diaz is training at Savannah's. If you've seen him, how is his training coming along?
