“I saw that, I did,” Pacquiao said. “If I can hit Mayweather like that, I will finish him off. I would continue the attack in a way that Mosley did not. I will attack until Mayweather is gone.” - Manny Pac
here we go again w/ the needles. smh. I guess the majority of the boxers are in roids cuz they never had ost done before.. I guess every single one of us aren't really boxing fans after all cuz we followed these boxers career w/o taking ost in their entire career. wtf?
No, didn't say that.
Just pointing out- please give me a reason you would NOT want to see a boxer take a drug test? A real reason...is it because maybe your favourite will get caught out?
I agree with Mayweather being too smart for Pac, but Pacquiao has improved a whole lot with his boxing skills. He's more of a technician now instead of that young brawler. I'll be honest though. Pac hasn't really been tested against a masterful counterpuncher since his improvement. I don't count JMM then because Manny was highly embarrassed after the controversial split decision. He started studying his opponents' tapes after that fight. We'll see how much he's improved.
It's all on the gameplan. I want to hear Roach's opinion on the fight. But that might be for later. He's training Khan for May 15.
Cotto = tko
DLH = tko
Hatton = ko
Pac can finish.
not saying that the pacman can't finish but assuming it's a fargone conclusion that pacquiao would have finished floyd in the SAME round is borderline asinine. He had cotto hurt in the third and fourth round, he didn't "finish" until the 12th rd. Mayweather's defense and skills >>>>>>>>>> Cotto's, if Cotto could move and box pacquiao after being hurt like that....
IF pacquiao could even get in (with his shorter reach) and hurt mayweather like Mosely did is different argument altogether
Also, see JMM fights.
these guys are acting like its a fact that if pacquiao would have hurt floyd that he would knock him out in that round lmao
thats why he knocked out cotto in the 3rd after the 3rd round knockdown right???
thats why he knocked out cotto in 4th round after the 4th round knockdown right???
thats why he knocked out marquez in the 1st round after he knocked down marquez 3 times in the first round right???
thats why he knocked out marquez in the 3rd round after the 3rd round knocked down right???
im not saying its impossible but to say its a definite fact that he will is ignorant.
this post shuts this thread down
I woulda said that about Floyd too but he withstood it... I woulda said that about cotto landing on _____ too but Pac withstood it. You just don't know. Honestly though everyone knows Pac would have koed that mosley. I am not saying he would beat Floyd but he would beat Mosley better than Floyd did.
Yes Pac would had KOed Mosley cause he would had fought the fight that FLoyd fought against Shane. Identical.

and you made a thread for this shit? boxing is no brain surgery. you can say whatever you want and that doesn't seen mean it's fact. it's opinion. a fight can go either way. until we see them fight, all we could do is guess. guesses are not facts. so stop getting butt hurt as if you're some goddamn expert or something.

i know what your saying and everybody does... I guess the fact that Pacquiao is showing some signs of competitive life is what makes that quote so compelling.
Pac wasn't given the chance to ko cotto, coz cotto started running from round 5 - up, but even when cotto started riding his bike, manny was beating him up so badly that by round 8-10 everybody who is watching the fight were already wondering when will the officials finally decides to stop the fight. They finally did it in round 12.... TKO
Manny was never a 1 punch ko machine at the higher weights, mosley, cotto and clottey I think hits with similar power, while manny may have a bit less power than the three. But the difference is, the first three fighters hits a 1-2 with the 2 having the more devastating power, while manny can hit 1-2-3-4 with all punches having similar powers...
Wasn't given the chance to KO Cotto? What nonsense. Did anyone fly Cotto out of the ring? Did the ref step in every time Pac tried to wail on him? Cotto was hurt and losing and still kept Manny at bay retreating and backpedaling until he absolutely couldn't do jack shit anymore, and even still his jabs were disfiguring Manny's face as well.
Floyd is going to destroy Pac if they fight, he's tailor made for him, pure offensive aggression caters to him.
If Mosley landed that on Pac he wouldve been KO'd.
Nope
Pac has a good chin.. He would have taken the shot. took a step back.. touch his gloves like he wanted more.. and press on with combos..

It's hard for me to think Pacquiao can really hurt Mayweather. It has to actually happen for me to finally believe it. Height does not matter, but at 5'6" 23" arm length, it's not doing Pacquiao any favors against Floyd Mayweather's 5'8" 26" arm length. I also think about, who was the last fighter that Pacquiao fought that had decent-good handspeed? Mayweather fought Mosley, Judah, and Corley. Corley had decent handspeed, Judah has very fast hands, and Mosley has very fast hands. So Mayweather has been challenged in the handspeed department, Pacquiao hasn't. Now this is not only about the size and handspeed; It's also about the styles, you have a guy with Floyd style of either being aggressive or going on the defensive at any given time. You have Pacquiao who is only relentless and aggressive and will only use head movement for his defense.
If Mayweather-Pacquiao happens, I see Floyd being the aggressor once again just like he was against Corley, Judah and Mosley, and I see Pacquiao already out of the fight, mentally, by the 5th or 4th round. I think that when Pacquiao finally meets someone who can match his handspeed or has faster/slightly slower hands, it's gonna really fuck with his head an dmess him up whatever gameplan Roach had for him. Pacquiao's gameplans have a lot to do with handspeed. This fight needs to happen, the clash of styles is interesting and I would like to see how it plays out and whoever wins I would like to see how they did it.

............./thread
He couldnt finish Cotto, a guy who is damaged by plaster and was koed before, and now he can stop Mayweather, who never ever went down once and never lost a fight, or even Mosley who ony been down once fighting against big guy Vernon Forrest
Yea right.
