I dont see how the Clottey Pac fight is a mismatch. Clottey is a completely different fighter than Cotto. But Mayweather is taking the bigger risk here and has almost a lose lose situation. If he wins, it WILL be because Mosley just couldnt catch up to Mayweather. I am a huge Mosley fan, but I fully expect Floyd to be moving the whole fight and making Shane chase after him. But IF Mosley pulls off the win, I know Im going to be really happy. Shane deserves the big fights.
My brother is married to an american so he lives over there in Pheonix scottsdale arizona now, I visit him there and was planning on doing so in March, Everytime i visit him i alway go to another american state just to say i have been here before, Funny enough Pac/Clottey was on the 13th so i called him to see if he was interested in going over to dallas like we did in 2007 (Margarito/Williams) He said yes and i brought the Pac/clottey tickets online for 45 pounds each (4 tickets).
Cool beans.
I lived in Tucson for 4 years, nice weather.
Scottsdale is pretty nice too. High class place.
Enjoy the fight.
Marquez called out Floyd, Floyd accepted. MONEY TERMS AGREED
Margarito and Cotto called out Floyd, Floyd accepted MONEY TERMS WHERE NOT AGREED,
Arum offered 8million for Floyd to fight Margarito,
Floyd said he would fight him for 8million if he was guaranteed another 8million to fight Cotto after, Bob Arum declined.
Do your homework, and stop listening to the haters on here and try base your opinions on facts instead of hatred
why do you avoid questions?
Was Cotto/Pacquiao a mismatch?
Good shit Ray. Why r u heading to Phoenix first tho and so early?

Am a floyd fan and i never and would never shit on Pac/Clottey fight, I have even brought ticket for the fight and am flying out to Phoenix on the 6th of march.
In boxing, anything is possible. I give clottey a 30% chance of winning. But I'm merely pointing out the incredible hypocrisy of some Floyd fans.
yea, i shouldn't say clottey has "no chance."
i give him a <10% chance tho.
personally, manny could've chosen lesser opponents than clottey, and floyd could've chosen a lesser opponent than shane. both guys have chosen good fighters, and i can't knock either guy.
i feel shane has a slightly better chance at beating floyd, than clottey has at beating manny, but i give both a less than 15% chance. i think most ppl are just disgusted moreso in the fact floyd and manny aren't fighting each other, and you get mayweather fans discreditng pac, b/c the pactards act like clottey will be a better fight, and is a great substitution for passing up on the floyd fight.....let's all be honest and call it like it is tho.....
clottey's a good fighter, with a really good chin, but he has no more of a chance to beat pac, than marquez had at beating floyd. ppl discredit floyd, b/c marquez was smaller, but they give manny props b/c clottey is naturally bigger, while forgetting the disparity in talent. it goes both ways, and as roach said, size won't win fights.
Are you serious?? Who really cares anymore? You guys need to stop making these retarded threads addressing Pacquiao/Floyd fans. How about you team up and address JCC Jr fans (if he has any)?
But seriously, get over it...Make some meaningful topics. And not every Mayweather fan is a "Flomo". I for one agree that Pac-Clottey is a mismatch, but you don't see me complaining. I just say Clottey's gonna get beat like the tailor made opponent he is. But what other choice did Pac have? The WW division is dead, and Mosley was locked in with Berto. If it makes you feel better, Mayweather-Marquez was a mismatch too...But it was a tune-up off of a two year layoff. Cotto-Jennings was a mismatch too, and that was a tune-up off of an ass whooping from Margo. All three of the mentioned fights in this post are mismatches, but they're legit. So get over it.
Those who continuously make pointless topics or flood topics on Pac/Floyd with retarded posts are the true "Pactards" and "Flomos".
Please end this thread here, and real boxing fans are free to quote the previous sentence in your signature if you'd like.
they call it a mismatch; so what; let them call it that; they have a big mouth now that floyd finally got the ballz to sign a contract with a legit WW;
let them be happy.
Marquez called out Mayweather,
Manny picked Clottey, theres a difference
So Mayweather had no choice but to fight him? Is that what you're saying? Should we go down the list of all the fighters that have called Mayweather out? And then discuss the ones he actually agreed to fight?
Let me ask you this, was Cotto/Pacquiao a mismatch?
did u really think marquez had a chance?
If you're fighting a guy who's bigger stronger and faster than you you're screwed.
Thus tune-up fight
Clottey has a slightly better chance because of his size and chin.

because they're biased floyd fans? :thinking:
nobody's disgusted.....it's the first big fight of the year, and as a boxing fan, i am getting more excited about it as it draws nearer.
at the same time, let's not pretend clottey has a chance at winning this shit.

Tune up? a PPV tune up fight? A Tune up fight billed as "Numero Uno, Numero Dos? Get real.
Just because he got million buys doesn't mean it wasn't tune-up fight.
If you didn't see it as a tune-up fight you must be delusional.
just because they hyped it up and called it Numero Uno don't mean sh$t.
Its was on PPV because it was a comeback fight and Floyd is involved.
I know you're smarter than this and I'm just telling you things you already know.
Marquez was #2 P4P
Floyd was coming off a 2 year layoff. Most Floyd fans saw the fight as a tune up fight. I know I did.
Manny just beat the guy who beat the guy he's about to fight.
But styles make fights.
And yes both fights where and are mismatches because of the styles involved.
That's the difference comeback/tune-up fight vs. Fight after defeating Cotto

I'm just commenting on you're question about others peoples gripes.
I really couldn't give two sh#ts about who Pac fights right now.
I'm excited about Mosley-Mayweather.
And I wanna see Floyd vs. Pac eventually.
Truth hurts huh?
What are you talking about?
You never heard me dissing the Pac-Clottey fight....and I'm a Floyd fan.
25 puts Floyd fans, as if EVERY one of them are dissing the Pac-Clottey fight.
Which is not true.
He has a history of making threads dedicated to Floyd fans, and I wanted to know when they would stop.
"but marquez was #2 pound 4 pound"
"marquez nearly beat pacquiao"
lol
And Floyd was coming off a near 2 year layoff. Jmm had 2 impressive wins and it was at a *catchweight.
