Comments Thread For: Karmazin: Pacquiao Could End Up Like Roy Jones Jr.

Does anyone think Pac's lifestyle choices are to blame?

Pac just needs to work on his timing alittle

If you watch the replay you see that he feinted and then thru the jab but the feint was so fast and Marquez had no where to go that he just threw a desperation punch

Bad situation to feint instead of just going for it

Dude you're ****in ******ed. JMM blasted Pac with the exact same "desperation" punch twice almost immediately after being KD'd in the 5th.

The Racket Squad: Expiration Day

If Roy had earned Pac type cash, he would probably not even be bothering with HBO color commentary.

Fighters who earn and save go on to live lives.
Pac will finish on a victory and finally follow the path of Lennox, the best example of a pugilist who knew when his expiration date was up and honored it.

The big loser here is Mayweather.
He never fought Manny, his legacy will take a heavy hit for it and he lost 40 million as a result of the evasion.

And by the way.
The Ghost has more than a ghost of a chance should Floyd get brave and take Robert before the Gingerly money.

After 3 fights and 36 rounds, you'd think that Pacquaio wouldn't have to work on his timing.

And lol, you do realize the more you try and downplay the Marquez counter, the worse you actually make Manny look? What's worse, being knocked out by a perfect counter or being knocked out by 'a desperation punch'? There's no shame in being countered, but to be knocked out by 'a desperation punch' means that you aren't skilled enough to block or chinny enough to take a 'desperate' shot.

rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!

doubt it, roy jones is in his own little diluted world where he doesn't know when to stop, or that he's broke as hell. Pac can retire and live comfortably.

Talking out of your ass?

Exactly how does Pac getting his brain sent into orbit by a former Mayweather victim hurt Floyd's legacy? I mean, as it stands now, JMM is sitting on top of his little rivalry with Pac. And if my memory serves me correct, Floyd fought and fought quite well against the winner of the rivalry. At one time, Mayweather-Pacquaio was needed because we thought it was a match-up the best two fighters of the era. Well, as it turns out, Floyd and JMM are the best two fighters of the era. They fought, Floyd won, end of story. He's the best of his time.

There is a difference though.

Plankquiao PRIOR to his brutal embarrassing KO took massive punishment and still displayed a very good chin. Some say even Granite.

Roy Jones Jr PRIOR to his brutal embarrassing KO NEVER took punishment or hard shots..

Pac has proven that his chin is good- not saying that it will remain good but Roy actually never showed his chin was anything but pure glass..... prior to Tarver.

I am very certain Roy's chin was always weak, it was just his supreme reflexes + the fact he never fought the bigger punchers which got him out of trouble before.

Nah man, Pac got lazy and tossed out a weak jab after his feint and JMM stepped backwards in anticipation. He knew what Pac was going to do and he hit him perfectly, JMM threw the right punch from the right distance.

Don't forget Calzaghe, retired on a high note (no pun intended)
