Remember the whole "stadium" thing? LMAO good times man good times.

no, he's not interested in my answer. you need to read his whole post which ends by saying, "by the way, do you honestly believe that Manny could have ever won this fight, if so, how?"

you need to learn how to read between the lines. he's simply saying, "why do you want this fight for pacquiao, he'll lose, anyway, you'll be sorry. it's a typical "be careful what you wish for" warning among floyd fanatics.

these fans of floyd don't understand that it is okay to see your idol lose. you get over it eventually.

you don't say my idol will beat this and that guy, yet all you do is defend roadblocks. know what i mean...

(be back later...)

Clear as day. They don't wanna see the two biggest figures in the sport fight each other from day one. It's too risky for their hero. And they call themselves boxing fans. Hehe.. And they say it's an easy fight for their idol. Hehe... And they say Pacman is overrated, he'll surely lose... Hehe... And they'd rather see it in fantasy land... Hehe... And they call themselves boxing fans. Hehe...

You failed to answer the man's question? How would PAC win.. easy boxing explanation..

good head movement to get on the inside
good foot work to create all sorts of angles
great hand speed to be in and out and match any counters
great stamina to outwork money in a decision
all heart.. wont take a step back aggressor credit
decent power to make Floyd think twice about living off the straight right
plus he's a southpaw

with all this said.. Floyd may have adjusted.. but think about it folks.. he's avoided fighters like that all his career.. faced nothing but flat footed, no head movement, come forward fighters.. EASY money.. ohh and they had fans, so he portrayed the villain to have their fans hate him and there for "his" fanbase grow.. hate it or love it, you're watching.. and I credit it for him..

Now ask him on why Floyd wins??

Smartest defensive fighter ever.. could be called boring.. is my answer..

either way it's a double edge sword..

Pacquiao gets tagged often even by a old man Mosely and slow as molasses Margarito so his head movement is average at best. You can't mention Pacquiao's footwork when the lasting image is him TRIPPING and falling into a well time punch. He does have great hand speed but was countered effectively by a much slower Marquez. His biggest disadvantage is his all heart won't step back aggressive style. You can't outwork someone when you're landing at a 21% connect rate. His power is more than decent but you'll have to catch Mayweather with a punch that Mosely, Judah, DLH, and everyone else couldn't KO him with so I don't see Pacquiao's having a greater chance. Finally, Mayweather is not only great defensively but also offensively, who figures out his opponents within 2 or 3 rounds and cruises to victory. The sword might be double edged but one side cuts like a butter knife.

:AOR: lmfao....oh yeah that was almost as funny as Floyd keeping 100% of the PPVs. Or telling Manny to drop Arum and come fight a few fights for TMT to get his shot at Floyd. heheheeee

those funny guys!

What makes it even more funny is that he got the latter idea straight from the Pac/Arum playbook. We see the comments now about Floyd, where were the when Pac did it more than once? You were missing in action then, huh?

[bigman87]

another american moron thinking everything revolves around his country, just because saturday or sunday nights are made for ppv events like boxing, ufc and wwe

it can be different in other countries, have you ever thought about outside of your yank head? is it possible for you to think on your own?

sunday morning could very well be a huge financial success for the pac fight, each countries societies are different, dumbass

They re fighting Sunday morning due to the time difference.

[QballLobo]

This was Arum's plan all along. He had no intention of making the fight until Pac was on his way out and there were no more Top Rank guys he could match him up with.
He put Pac in with Rios because its an easy fight to look good in. Rios will walk right in to whatever Pac is throwing and he will do him like Hatton.
Once that happens we will hear all the rumors again just like in late 2009.

[WESS]

Like I said years ago, WHEN Bob Arum is ready he will do what he does best. In the meantime, he's milking it.

But Asia? lol Come on Bob, at least keep it real when you're promoting Pac Rios.

Like Mosley, JMM and Bradley did in order to fight Pac?

You silly silly silly silly goose you.

[Triumph 916]

Two weeks ago Floyd used Pac's name and Floyd has an upcoming fight. Did you say something about Floyd using Pac's name? Of course not. It works both ways.

Lol Floyd is headlining the biggest card is recent memory in a weight class he's not at his best, fighting a bigger, younger, stronger fighter with a much much bigger fan base than Rios...nobody needs Pacs name to help with the fight!
