Iron Mike Tyson: Manny Pacquiao would beat Floyd Mayweather

Its not a triangle theory you f*cking idiot. Its a comparison of styles and styles make fights right? JMM didnt do well against Floyd as he is not an offensive fighter which Floyd wanted JMM to be......a bloated one at that. Floyd has done nothing to show he will do well against Pac. JMM proved he can, Floyd has proved nothing. Floyds pot shoting cant be compared to JMMs combination counterattacks, you floyd fan.

Pac will not even come close to beating Floyd. Some of you should be on suicide watch the day they actually fight. Floyd is smart for not letting Arum pimp he AND Pac together. One more thing, how is it that Arum can publicly state that you HAVE to sign with him and that he would NOT do a co-promo for any of his fighters, let alone Pacman, and somehow the reason this particular fight won't happen is because Floyd is scared.LOL:pat:

http://sports.yahoo.com/video/news-207399/mike-tyson-manny-pacquiao-would-beat-floyd-mayweather-31244738.html I stopped listening to Mike Tyson when I viewed his youtube video I broke my back

So no death threats this time Larry? Sending death threats to Mike Tyson is like telling him you love him

Pedweather will not duck pac for years if he knows he has a chance to beat pac.

Sports are just one aspect of life and hardly the most important. If we're going to compare athletes why don't we compare surgeons,engineers and scientists too? Racist hoe Most of the people in the Philippines are more concerned with eating and surviving than pursuing an athletic career which doesn't pay them much anyway. If you're a poor pinoy(which the majority are), then life is real from the start. There's no welfare or government programs to help you, it's survive or die.It's survive or die all over the world. Homelessness and poverty have not been solved here in America.

Was this suppose to prove something?someone stated their opinion and people go wild,there is no fact stated until they fight which they never will so move on So no death threats this time Larry?

Mike Tyson is picking Floyd Mayweather as winner in the event the megabuck match with Manny Pacquiao becomes a reality. http://www.worldboxingnews.net/2012/03/tyson-i-have-to-go-with-floyd-over.html Mike Tyson is picking Floyd Mayweather as winner in the event the megabuck match with Manny Pacquiao becomes a reality. “I have to go with Floyd,” Tyson told Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times in a Q&A that appeared on the paper’s Sunday issue. Mayweather, he said, “should be a 2-1 or 3-1 favorite.” Asked why the fight has not taken place, Tyson, one the most controversial boxing champions in history, said that if Pacquiao and Mayweather were real men, they should go and fight each other. He was then asked if he would like to mediate to make the fight happen. "If you need one man to get two men in the ring and fight each other, they're not men. They should want to fight each other. I don't know if they will fight, or why they won't. I'm not in their heads. There may be a financial strategy at play, some kind of rights we're not thinking about." He said that one other reason is that Mayweather or Pacquiao is afraid to lose. "Some guys are afraid to lose, and they think once they lose there's nothing left. That zero is their security blanket.” Talking about himself, Tyson said: “I was just out there wanting to be the best. I thought of myself as the best fighter God ever created. No man was ever going to step into that ring and beat me. I can't relate. It's out of the question. We're from different eras.” “Some of these guys today are business oriented. When I fought, we didn't care if we had no money left afterward. All we really wanted was to have enough left to open a bar like the guys before us did, and a lot of those guys were deadbeats or ended up in insane asylums. That was the glamorous road I wanted to follow." Even though both fighters are booked to face separate foes on May 5 (Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto) and June 9 (Pacquiao vs Tim Bradley), ringsiders can’t help but drool over the prospects of seeing the two claimants to the mythical title of pound-for-pound king squaring off down the road. Oddsmakers have installed Mayweather as a 2-1 favorite on the strength of his knockout win over Victor Ortiz last September and Pacquiao’s unimpressive majority decision victory over Mexican nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez last November. On his twitter account Tuesday, Mayweather boasted that “there is no blueprint on how to beat me” as he revs up for Cotto. Assuming Mayweather and Pacquiao get past their next assignments, there will be pressure again to make the dream fight considering the money involved and the revenue that will be generated by the event. It is no surprise that Tyson has expressed the belief that Mayweather is going to beat Pacquiao even though the disgraced former undisputed world heavyweight champion once showed up during the final day of Pacquiao’s training in Las Vegas lending a helping hand. Tyson showed up at the IBA Gym in Las Vegas when Pacquiao was about to wrap up his preparation for his landmark win over Oscar De La Hoya and went home with a wide grin. Pacquiao gave out a few premium tickets to Tyson so he could watch the fight, according to trainer Freddie Roach, who had also trained Tyson during the tailend of the slugger’s legendary career. To make the dream fight with Mayweather a reality, Pacquiao said he's willing to lower his purse. Exactly.there is no news here

This thread should be under fantasyfights.

09 Pac would have given Floyd a fight. Not now though. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck. Anymore. These two prima donna's have practically sucked the life out of boxing. There are more interesting fights out there. I agree with you on the not giving a fuck anymore part. In terms of sucking the life out of boxing? They've milked the so called 'rivalry' for all its worth, that's for sure. Both sides have used it to animate their own fans and draw more people into their stories. I think people should recognize that much. It's been very useful in promoting both guys without them ever having to take the risk of actually fighting each other. But I suppose the question is whether or not any other boxing story would be taking its place in the mainstream if the Pacweather rivalry wasn't there. It's possible that in that scenario, no one outside of committed boxing fans would have a fight they want to see at all.

A prime on fire Pac would have beat Floyd, but Floyd has waited for Pac to run out of steam like exciting all action fighters usually do at some point. Now the fight is closer and not as clear as before. Floyd has rested well and watched enough dvds of Pac to make the fight closer now. Only when Floyd he has learnt all he can about Pac and can almost fight Pac in his sleep envisioning Pacs every move, will floyd strike. Cherry picking at its finest, Floyd has it down to a fine art. Only problem with this is that Floyd is getting older also, he didn't look as sharp as he use to during the Cotto fight. You best believe that the Pac Camp took notice of that.

Ayo Tyson spent so long, saying Floyd would win, he's just fed up because Floyd hasnt fought him. Allot of people have changed their predictions of the fight, because of the same reason. That's the way I see it, like it or not public opinion look bad for PBF, Yes I am a Pac fan BUT I see him before as the underdog, now? Not so much. Floyd looks shook, I don't think he is afraid of Pacquiao, I think he is afraid of being no longer undefeated.....

thought as in past tense

After the JMM4, Pac would have fought six fights while Floyd had three fights since the ducking debacle. You can see how the advantages are stacked in Floyd's favor if they ever fight. A battle-fatigued Pac vs a barely scratched Floyd. It's no wonder Floyd waits for the opponent's stock to devalue before fighting them. Not only will he have the advantage in the fight, he also gets to say he deserves the bigger split. Floyd is the biggest joke in boxing today. I really hope he fights Canelo before getting awarded Pac. Right now, the playing field is heavily tilted on his side. Pac is done. Yes Floyd always waits for his opponents to be shop worn of late. Even BH can fight after long lay offs, its no big deal. If you are well rested but continue to learn your craft at your convenience and luxury, it dont get better than that. Not all boxers have that luxury like floyd does.

Why do you think pac can beat floyd if he has so much trouble with Marquez.? After pac/jmm 3 pacquiao said he has trouble because jmm is a counterpuncher. Whos a better counter puncher then marquez? Man, triangle theories only work when it comes to floyd it seems? JMM is the only man Floyd has beat better, cos he bloated up JMM and came in over the limit....bloating a man who had to fight offensively but isnt an offensive fighter. It all stacked in Floyds favour as usual yet some people still have the nerve to use triangle theory on this occasion. Floyd fans are the most desperate type of fan going, as they havent got much to cheer about when it comes to floyd.

Tyson went back and forth several times on this fight. A few months ago he hinted that Floyd would beat Pac because he dominated JMM while Pac struggled with JMM. Expect him to change his tune again.
