I'm seriously tired of this hype about Mayweather and Pacquiao, almost everybody has to realize these guys aren't as great as most think. Sure they are both great, I think Mayweather has better skill and technique then Pacquiao but Pacquiao has better power and speed, but for the most part, their the most overrated boxers in the history of the sport. The moment they lose against someone officially is the time they'll never be the same, they'll give up. They act as if their the best fighters ever just because their loaded with fame and money, fame and money are meaningless once your at the top, their not as "hungry" as what they should be, even if they are the champs they should still be "hungry" for each other, if they really wanted to fight each other the fight would have already happened, they would have forced that fight to happen. These PPV fights are just a money scheme for overhyped fighters like them.
@ONE, dude your hate for these guys is spilling out all over my PC. Could you do everyone a favor & go to Home Depot, purchase a nice thick rope, find a strong tree & well you know the rest. Haters like you should be doing time because there's no place in this country for people like you.
haha.. this
Whenever someone at the gym or outside the gym asks me about those guys who do I like (most of the guys in the gym like Floyd, most of the people outside like Manny) I say neither, their both greedy overhyped fighters. Pacroid and Gayweather are the cancer to this sport atm imo.
No Don King, Bob Arum, big purses, Sanctioning Bodies, bad decisions/nothing being done about said decisions, top fighters not fighting each other (except at 168 and other rare cases), PPV are the cancer to the sport.
Is that why every fighter that has fought both May and Pac say that Mayweather is a much better boxer?
I have never read a pro boxers say Pac doesnt deserve to be the FOTD, let alone P4p the best fighter. Only annonymous forum users can do that on a daily basis where their identity is hidden so they dont incriminate themselves.
Pac deserves FOTD, and no1 p4p cos he fights, he is one of them ie pro fighters who fight for a living, unlike FLoyd. Floyd is an outsider, the black sheep.
"the moment these guys lose is the moment they'll never be the same"
Well Pacquiao lost 3 times already moron. And Pacquiaos got better speed? Are you serious?
Is that why every fighter that has fought both May and Pac say that Mayweather is a much better boxer?
Is that why Floyd fights fighters at their real weights, instead of draining them into a Mannyweight?
Is that why Pac fights Mayweather's leftovers and still has the audacity to drain them?
Only JMM said Floyd was more difficult. Hatton only lasted 2 rounds so im not sure what you want us to think there? Pac is the better fighter though. Floyd may well be a better boxer.
There is no pro boxer who has a problem with Pac being no1 p4p fighter in the world. Only the very vocal minority Floyd fans who do, and we all know they are vocal as they want a change and in history, ranting and raving has often got things people wanted. Women who didnt get the vote, striked and now women can vote.
But its not happening here. Floyd dont fight, he deserves no acclaim. Hes got money and thats what he wanted.
Pac has only drained one fighter and that was cotto, dont go on about it. Fighting Margarito at 150 is hardly draining Marge is it now? Pac had to choose 150 as he physically dont reach that weight so its not a crime is it? Fight night look how big Marge looked, he looked 3 divisions bigger, yet Pac is the bully somehow? Pac draining Marge to 150 as you put it dont make Floyd a better fighter now does it......just fight Floyd, fight.
No, its Floyd who fights Pacs leftovers and hes doing it again. But Cotto is a world beater now isnt he?

I get tired of some folk who come on here whinging about fighter A being overhyped and fighter B being overhyped. Come on guys get over yourselves. Those same folk are probably the type to say Jesus Christ was overhyped because he didn't jump off the cross and punch the Centurion who poked him with that spear soaked in vinegar then hopped on a donkey and knocked out Pontious Pilate with a straight right. Mayweather and Pacquaio deserve are doing their thing and getting paid darned well for it. Let em be because they won't be around fighting in two or three years time and you'll have someone other fighter to b1tch on.
You do not seem to understand that Mayweather is physically #1 on ESPN and Yahoo Sports. If Pac was clearly #1 then it would be set in stone, all boxing sources would have him @ #1....but they don't.
Also the best fighter gets paid the most...which is Floyd.
Pac is no1 as he is smaller beating guys at 147 better than Floyd did or could.
If Floyd was no1, there is no basis for Floyd being no1, other than they are using triangle theories that Floyd had less trouble with JMM than Pac did.
Pac has been the best since he beat DLH and Hatton and hasnt looked back since.

Uhh ESPN and Yahoo Sports have Floyd at #1.
Put it this way, all credible boxing sources have Floyd @ #1 p4p.
He will secure his spot even more when he dominates Cotto and Pac struggles against Bradley.
No Pac is the no1, and one bad performance isnt going to change that. One bad performance is preferble to not fighting like floyd does.
Pac became no1 when he started campaigning in the same weight as Floyd and showing him how you are supposed to fight at the 147 division. Basically after beating hatton and DLH there has been no looking back.
Floyd hasnt been able to reclaim his position at the top.

Manny is overated. Never has anyone did so little to get the acclaim of his fans. Manny tells the world he is the greatest and his fans dont tell him the truth and he isnt. If they cared for Manny they would tell him to get his ass in the ring, take the tests, and get a resume so he can be talked in the same sentence of the greats of yesteryear and Floyd.
Manny fans are yes, yes men who dont tell Manny the truth so arre hurting him in thelong run.
Ha ha you loved what i said so copied me word for word. Pity you are wrong in that Pac dont go around saying he is the greatest. He knows the world of boxing says it so he dont have to.
ONly floyds most die hard fans say he is the best, so Floyd has to selfproclaim.

Well what fight since 2010 has been bigger than a potential Mayweather-Pacquiao fight? We are talking about this decade right?
I do agree the fight isn't a great matchup because Mayweathers style will carve Pac up
you see, YOU even said it yourself what fight would be bigger. WHY I mean who gives a crap how big the fight is. Im a boxing fan not these guys accountant,i wanna see a GOOD fight thats all i care about. i would get more entertainment out of a fnf than a mayweather/pac ppv any day of the week.
ive been sayin this for a couple of years now, people love being cattled by these promotors and boxing organizations. I know that the sport has had changed in the years its been but now its all about the money and hype. As a fan i dont even know how someone can say mayweather/Pac is the fight of the decade? much less a fight people will actually pay to see. Also roach is probably the biggest hypocrit in boxing right now, he hides under his disease.
Well one of your favorite fighters is someone your thread matches up with.
I merely think you're here just to troll. As your karma says otherwise, I'm sure no one likes you. On top of that, you're a mayweather nut hugger.
No Buster Douglas's fists caused it to happen.....
also Tysons best win was vs Larry Holmes who was coming off 2 losses to Spinks....
Tyson's best wins were vs nobodies
Please answer this question, what does Tyson have to do with this topic? And when did I say Tyson was my favorite fighter ever? He's merely my favorite Heavyweight? Problem?
