I'm sorry that your god, money, makes you think otherwise. Because if you could separate money from the action, you would be able to see things a different way ... but you probably can't because $ is omnipresent in your mind.
You sound like a straight idiot with your "god your money" line.
You couldn't be any more wrong pal.
You just got your panties in a bunch cuz the media bashed the fuuck out of last weeks joke of a fight yet are are giving props to canelo/Kirkland.

You put Kirkland in front of Mayweather, and you are getting a 12 round decision.
More than likely but we're also getting a one-sided 12 round decision.
I agree. And therein lies the difference between an exciting fight and a boring fight. It was evident from the get go that Canelo was the superior boxer, however, he was looking for a stoppage, not a points victory. And what did he say at the end.... he wanted to give the fans a good fight. It's not rocket science in understanding why people like combat sports, and what they ultimately look for when watching it.

We all know that Floyd isn't a natural Jr MW, the weight advantage and non-brittle hands like Mayweather has enabled Canelo to be a more effective puncher, Money isn't and never has been a KO fighter nor the type of fighter that goes in looking for the KO so it is not to be expected whenever he faces anyone, especially someone like James Kirkland who is far bigger than him.
I honestly didn't see all of pac / rios so can't say he ran. I know what I did see was him fighting cautious
But not sure why I'm making any excuses for manny. I like the bad guys. And # 1 thing I hate is fighters thanking God etc after fight-- Manny is biggest bible thumper there is

You should change that stupid name of yours too.
You could help him, you've changed yours enough times.
