He wasn't in his "prime" when he lost those matches. His was young, yes, but certainly not as fine tuned as his is today. He's come a long way since those losses. Nice try though.

Do you have a legitimate news source for that? Up until very recently, St. Manny was still trying to hold on to that two week window.

It's all over the web if you care to run some Google searches.

Yep, just like calling someone a "classless punk". I agree that is childish behavior...

Unlike Floyd's verbal attacks of his opponents, ones towards him are ones that he has earned. He is indeed a classless punk, if you can't see that, well then...

Why stop there? Why not mention De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley? Oh that's right, because St. Manny felt the need to fight those "bums" too, right? Though I'm sure they weren't "bums" when St. Manny fought them.

DLH was indeed washed up by the time he fought both Floyd and Manny, Hatton was always overrated, Mosley washed up, and Marquez is still game but against Floyd he's the smaller, slower fighter. That said, all one has to do is look at how Manny dispatched the same opponents that Floyd defeated. Took Floyd ten rounds to defeat who he called an overrated Hatton, where it only took Manny two and he almost decapitated him. DLH took a thrashing against Manny but went the distance with Floyd and should have won.
Notice how Floyd will rant about how a fighter is overrated, next thing you know, he's fighting this overrated fighter...easy pickings.

Nope, just calling as I see it. Birds of a feather flock together my friend.
