MAYweather vs PACquaio: BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY !!!

PACQUAIO Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao, is an offensive fighting machine who overwhelms opponents through blistering hand speed and firepower. His defense is somewhat suspect since he is a “hit me and I’ll hit you harder” kind of fighter, but his last fights against bigger opponents have shown that he can deflect or absorb heavy punishment. The Pinoy boxing superstar whose records cannot be surpassed as he continue to dominate the boxing world by being the first Filipino and Asian boxer to win four world titles in four weight divisions namely - WBC Lightweight Champion, the WBC Super Featherweight Champion, IBF Super Bantamweight, and WBC Flyweight divisions. Pacquiao has destroyed the careers of some of the world's best boxing boxer including Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Hector Velazquez, Oscar Larios, Jorge Solis and recently Oscar De La Hoya. Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri: Has called Manny "Greatest Filipino boxer ever." Bert Sugar: "Manny Pacquaio is exciting, Manny Pacquaio Performs" Emmanuel Steward: "Manny Pacquaio throws Power punches from the 1st round to the last round." Steve Kim( Max boxing): "He is an international superstar, He is the Beatles, Micheal Jordan, Brad Pit, wrap into 1 man." Bob Arum: "He's been the most remarkable fighter in that regard in this era," "He is a throwback. He is a complete throwback to that era. He's totally unconventional for the fighters we have around today." Larry Merchat: "If Manny Pacquaio beats De La Hoya It would mark him as one of the greatest fighters ever." Manny Pacquaio as of right now belongs in every catergory Floyd Mayweather jr is in although not better than floyd yet, Manny can soon pass floyd up as the greatest fighter of this generation including Floyd if he continue doing what he is doing. Think about this, Manny Pacquaio has fought in three divisions in one year. Manny and Floyd have both proven that "Size doesnt win fights" Smarts and Ability win fights, and their collective dominance over the sport in the last 10 years stands side by side. Although Manny hasnt fought as many prime pound 4 pound fighters as Floyd has, Manny has proven he greatness by destroying every great fighter put in front of him. Some say Manny is being OVER HYPED right now, but he deserves it, He OVER PERFORMED... Sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due, and right now credit is due. Manny Pacquaio is the pound 4 pound best fighter in the sport today. END OF DISCUSSION.! I understand why people think i never give Manny credit, but the facts are I do... just wanted to bump this post to prove it.

I got may winning at either weight mayb just about winning n definately not by KO, but pac does hav a habit of suprising me...

Burner I am one of Floyd's Biggest fans, and I think he could **** around and lose to pacquaio.. Pacquaio is the shit, period. He is fast, Strong, and he has great foot movement. This fight could look like the judah fight only instead of 4 good rounds for Pacman, Try 12. Floyd has trouble with Southpaw's with Speed. Judah and Ndou Both Caught Floyd with Punches never gets hit with against Orthodox fighters. Thats why I gave Pacquaio a chance in this fight. Plus Pacquaio is VALIDATED GREAT FIGHTER.... Nobody can discredit this win. He is POUND 4 POUND BEST IN THE SPORT... N'Dou...i think u mean Corley.......u can add mitchell to the mix aswell...he hit Floyd with punches Floyd does not usually take....

nice dig. I'm rooting for Pacquiao. Hell, I want him to win, just to teach Floyd the value of humility, but if I'm gonna put down real money right now on a bet, I'll go with Floyd at both weights. That might still change though, depending on the outcome of the Mayweather-Mosley fight.

Pacquiao ftw!

Manny Pacquiao is the biggest threat to Mayweather’s legacy as the best fighter of this generation The Pretty Boy would love nothing else but to prove that he is still the best fighter of the last 10-20 years by defeating his closest rival for that honor. Freddie Roach said: "Manny's been getting bigger all the time, he's getting older, getting thicker, and he had trouble making weight," Roach said. "Even in the Diaz fight, the day of the weigh-in we had to lose two pounds. He told me then we're not fighting at '35 again. He said we had to move to '40. (140) Perfect weight for this fight to happen Mayweather has the same height and reach Erik Morales did against pacquiao, and Floyd and Manny are closer in size than Floyd vs. Margarito, or Floyd vs. Cotto. So this fight from a size standpoint makes logical sense. Floyd @ WW comes into his fights weighing around 147lbs or 148lbs in his last 4 fights. Everybody else in the division come in weighing 158 and up. Floyd was the Smallest WW in the division Manny comes into his Fights Weighing 147, 145 Manny Has just Proven he can Handle fighting in at 147, when he just beat the living shit out of a fighter who was 5'11 with a 72 inch reach.

LOL it's kinda tough to ask for that when a lot of the threads you post go along the lines of claiming Floyd as the king of the world. LOL I ain't dissin, but basing it off of threads like "Floyd may be more popular than Ali one day", it's not surprising you get the hate you do. I get hate because people alway judge a book by it's cover instead of reading the context inside. 90% of the hate I get is from reputation. So i really dont trip on it. but like i said before I like posters who put an effort in to backing up their argument, and not just make general and blank statements.

I don't believe that Floyd is "surviving" at 147. He has wins against Zab Judah, Ricky Hatton, and a fight at 154 against Oscar (who IMO he wasn't trying to survive against). Plus, there is nobody at 140 for Floyd to really fight that's going to generate any buzz or money. He's been fighting at 147 since 2005. Why all of a sudden is he going to go back to 140? It makes no sense and you better believe he'll get shitted on by all the Boxing writers being there's a couple fights at 147 that would generate a much bigger buzz than anyone at 140. Floyd is a legit WW. Him going to 140 doesn't automatically guarantee he KO's everyone. doesnt floyd already get shit now from boxing writers..? i never see that changing no matter what...simply because their will always be somebody for floyd to fight, and if he doesnt fight the fighters the public deems worthy at the time... then they will say he is ducking such and such and he needs to do more. IMO floyd should either come back and do something he hasnt done. either go become the lineal and undisputed champion at 140 or go try and beat all odds and try to beat pavlik , sturm, or one of the champions at middleweight. because everything else is just pointless. My goals for him would be to try and complete 1 or 2 of these goals 1. fight an undisputed champion of a division 2. Fight the pound 4 pound #1 fighter in the sport 3. Try and go for history and win a lineal title at 140 4. try to go for history and win a title at 160 because everything else he has already done

See this is where i am different from Benny. I believe Floyd can make 140 and imo he should go back to 140. So he can fight people his own size and be in more exciting fights becuz he wont have to worry about a trading shots with naturally bigger man like he does at welterweight. and therefore he style would be more exciting and he would go for the Ko.. Instead when he is fighting in the WW division he is just trying win and not get Ko'ed. So I hope he fights Pacquiao at 140. So he can stay at 140 ! and if Mosely or cotto want to fight Floyd, he can come down to 140 and fight him. You can not say that floyd wasnt a exciting fighter from 140 on down. thats where i want him to go. because at 147 floyd is just fighting to survive instead of fighting to kill. I don't believe that Floyd is "surviving" at 147. He has wins against Zab Judah, Ricky Hatton, and a fight at 154 against Oscar (who IMO he wasn't trying to survive against). Plus, there is nobody at 140 for Floyd to really fight that's going to generate any buzz or money. He's been fighting at 147 since 2005. Why all of a sudden is he going to go back to 140?

Floyd is a legit WW. Him going to 140 doesn't automatically guarantee he KO's everyone.

great read I've always liked Bobby D.'s character from the movie "Casino." He was a betting man and because of that, he needed to know every detail before he placed a bet. Why? Because everything mattered. benny you are by far one of the better poster on this site. you, dlt and sometimes crillz are the only 3 posters i take time to read your whole post no manner how long. Because I know you guys put an effort in to back up your argument, and not just make general and blank statements. I wish all of boxingscene was this way, and maybe then we could have civil discussions that could lead to census and answers. LOL it's kinda tough to ask for that when a lot of the threads you post go along the lines of claiming Floyd as the king of the world.

Maybe now but not back when he was younger. Although, maybe this has to do with the size of his opponents but I still say it is more in line with the way he think now compared to then. He talked about this in an interview leading up to Hatton. Easier just to show this: So does he have some stamina issues because of the weight (compared to his lighter self) or maybe age? Or maybe he just wants to do enough to win and figures if his math is right, he can take the 5th round on when the opponent may not be 100%. 90% of an opponent is better to fight than a fresh one. The jab is a set-up punch. You don't have to hit like Foreman, Liston or Tyson with your jab to set-up other punches. It keeps a punch in the face of the opponent to blind his vision for other punches to come. They also add up if you keep throwing them. Floyd has pop in his punches; he is not feather-fisted and it's not like he has short arms. Plus, he is great with timing. However, maybe the accumalation of jabbing swells his hands up so he doesn't do it...not sure. It would be an interesting question to ask him. He has speed and agility over those big opponents. I like the way he fought Chico. That's boxing. That's why Floyd works on his defense and elusiveness. He also used to keep fighter's off balance with his combinations and movement. JMM and a past prime Morales (who won against Pac)...this is true. Floyd tried this with regards to his win against Oscar. Compare what people say about his win and Manny's, how many favor Floyd's victory? Most don't think that way. If you argue prime, people rarely seem to care or have such a broad view of it that they don't see any decline until the fighter is a ghost. Although, even then, I've seen people say the ghost was still good. They continue to go on the line of "no excuses" instead of seeing reason(s). Most don't want to put the work in understanding everything that goes on so it is simpler to keep things simple. You Win, You lose; no excuses. I wish I knew a lot more that goes on, specifically behind the scenes so that I could give a better prediction and analysis of the fight. The intricacy of the sport is very interesting. I've always liked Bobby D.'s character from the movie "Casino." He was a betting man and because of that, he needed to know every detail before he placed a bet. Why? Because everything mattered. Being handicapped going into the fight won't work for Floyd because few like him so he is better off coming in at a healthy weight and also choosing his glove of choice. When he brought up that he had to move up to 154 and Oscar chose his gloves, many just said he was a bitch and should shut up and just fight. It's the same when he fought Castillo the first time with a bad shoulder. He went into that fight injured but only Floyd fans seem to see it as a great accomplishment that he could even fight. Bring up the second fight and it is like it didn't happen. Same with Roy Jones when he beat Hopkins with one good hand. If it is at 140, most will just say, "So what, he wasn't a big fighter anyway." Look at the discussion with division weight vs. fight-time weight. How many actually care that the fighters are not actually fighting at the division number/weight? great read I've always liked Bobby D.'s character from the movie "Casino."
