Yes they did. People thought Manny would be an underdog to Floyd before he got tombstoned by Marquez. Except the last week when people starting pretending it was close to get the casuals no one in boxing seemed to think Manny had a chance. That's why everyone was so pissed when it was announced, because 5 years ago this is an amazing fight and now Manny winning would have been an awesome surprise.
O yeah he was watch this video. The diffrence was Jones was faster then anyone alive, and had insane knockout power. He was pretty much super human in his prime
Well no, nobody is, that's kind of the point.
Underdog is a huge diffrence to what just happened. Like I would have never expected pacman to just lay over like that.
You realize that Floyd was the one keeping Manny in the middle of the ring, correct? he was not the aggressor haha
This is what happens every time a short powerful guy faces a longer guy with a good jab. It happens in all weight classes. Go watch Tyson/Holyfield, or Lennox Lewis vs anyone. The short dude has to get in close to get past the jab, the tall guy clenches, the referee breaks it up, and now the short guy has to get past the jab again. That's boxing.
He was but he still got beat by Buster Douglas in his prime with no excuses. He was insane tho, but not on Roy Jones level. Roy in his prime was the greatest boxer ever to watch.
