True.
He should be fine as long as he doesn't end up fighting one of those young guys like Canelo or Broner... If Floyd's smart, he'll just beat Bradley and retire.

Floyd mops Canelo right now; Broner is too small. Floyd will retire soon without a mega fight. There's no one left.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I don't want to see Floyd v Canelo.
Canelo is too fucking big for Floyd... and what it'd end up being is Floyd running for 12rds.. fuck that shit.

Floyd said that he would do two fights in 2013. So, Bradley and Marquez it is.

OK cool, I agree. I just have a problem when people bring up the GOAT stuff
Unless marquez beats mayweather...
I hope there isnt any controversy or delays leading up to that fight. If there is, we'll now know who the problem is.

Strange feelings seeing that snake Bob Arum comforting his wife.
there is a rejuvenated 39 year old who just KTFO manny pacquaio at welterweight who has a huge fanbase

Who Floyd mopped without trying.
that doesn't mean there isn't alot of money to be made there on may 5th
there is technically an asterik on that win for floyd. JMM jumped up weight classes last time i think it can be sold easily.

And there goes Marquez dedicating his victory to the mexican president... the most hated one in years...
Way to go champ.

Canelo is talented but overrated. He'd be a punching bag and get stopped in the later rounds.

Lets wait to see if Marquez pisses hot first. I have my doubts with Angel Hernandez in his corner

My money would still be on Floyd to beat Canelo, but it's a dangerous fight. He's not in his prime anymore and is only getting older. If Floyd sticks around another year or two, Broner could be ready to fight welterweights by then. And Broner is nasty.
i hope he pisses hot just to LMAO at manny for ducking testing for years jk

'Get crackin' is so fitting.
Even Ali got knocked out.
This really is no big deal. Except an L in the column. #shrugg

Broner has loads of potential, but I don't think the fans will be clamoring for a fight between two of the bigger dickheads in boxing. I don't think Floyd fights past next year. Canelo imo has to prove himself against a young, strong fighter first; he's been fighting retreads and smaller guys. Trout would be the guy to really trouble Floyd at that weight, and Canelo ain't beating Trout, no way.

Ali didn't get stopped until the end of his career. And yes, that ko was a big deal; Pac was snoring, much like Hatton.

why is he done?i had a feeling this fight would end in a ko but i wasn't sure who would be doing the ko'ing. glad it was marquez that knocked him out.oh and yeah pacquiao is absolutely done.
There is no asterisk on that, Floyd came back after nearly 2 years without a fight and beat the brakes off Juan. The fight wasn't even remotely close and Floyd has way too much skill and a big reach/speed advantage over JMM.

Pretty sure if I decked you clean in the mouth, when were going 100mph fighting, you'll count sheep too.
They should fight again. And the mega fight should still happen. It should happen if May loses his next match.

seems like damage control to me.he got koed.no need for another fight.
3 shitty performances in a row with one ending in a terrible knock out? lots of fighters never recover from such a bad ko and manny isn't exactly in his prime. i thought this fight would end in a ko because i didn't believe either fighter had another 12 round war left in them.

This makes no sense.
This.
People are acting a liiiitle bit ridiculous. The guy's career isn't over, and I'm sure no one wants to see Marquez fight May weather.
Its a loss. Even the greats get them.
i think floyd dominated him. I just think it could be sold like that because floyd missed weight after JMM jumped two weight classes. He has looked great at welter recently.it would be a big money fight with the same results.
.
how does it feel romney when your balloon pops....again.

Manny has other things on his plate. He has been on the decline, and just suffered a brutal ko. He rich beyond his wildest dreams, and wants to be a politician. Yeah, he's done.
I don't know why people want Manny to die slow.
Boxing careers don't end beautifully. Its almost always shitty unless the guy bows out before the infinite slump lands them in front of a punch that they would've slipped just one year ago.

Manny lost, big deal. He has lost before.
A fight with Money should still happen. Greater odds it will happen if Floyd loses that first of two fights next year. The second fight should be Manny. We have waited long enough.
I also wouldnt mind another Marquez fight.

This. The writing has been on the wall; he doesn't have the footwork or speed like he used to, the desire is questionable; why stay?
i though pac looked great in there
he just got caught with something he didn't see coming. shit happens
