Comments: ESPN First Take - Floyd Mayweather Jr. is AFRAID Manny Pacquiao ?

these guys don't know sh*t about boxing. The woman last week pronounced Juan Manuel Marquez the q- sounding like "queen", Markwez.

Pacquaio might not win a single round against Floyd. He doesn't have enough power (and he never did) to seriously hurt Floyd, and he won't be able to land enough punches to cause any cumulative damage, which is what he's usually able to do against most guys. Plus he's tiny. Remember Marquez against Floyd? That was a joke for several reasons, not least of which Floyd has a way bigger frame. The way to beat Floyd isn't by being a smaller guy with weird angles and medium power. You have to match or exceed his size and land heavy punches at some point, because you're NOT going to land many of them. Tommy Hearns might have beat Floyd if they were in the same era. Maybe. Leonard too. But little Manny Pacquaio? NO WAY. That said, I wish Floyd would stop playing games and just fight the guy. Why doesn't he? Because his pride means he HAS to dictate the terms, and PacMan has injured Floyd's pride too many times at this point. It's so stupid. http://pictures.mastermarf.com/blog/2009/090418-from-this-angle.jpg

Surprised at how quiet Floyd and co. are being. Wonder what they make of this latest onslaught. Kieran Mulvaney said on the HBO podcast that there are some real discussions happening now alright. But that might just be network executive level stuff. Don't know if there's any indication that Top Rank or Haymon are trying to set anything in motion. IMO it's just executive talk, Arum, ODLH and GBP, CBS, HBO. PAC keeps calling out Floyd even yesterday I think on Instagram. Deduce what you want from that, but it seems to me, Floyd/Al Haymon haven't opened negotations yet. Otherwise PAC probably wouldn't be calling him out on Instagram and Twitter still.

Can people please stop using videos of these two to support any argument regarding boxing? They know nothing about the sport. Literally nothing.

Lmbo! These white folks make the rest of us white folks look bad. Skip don't have a efn clue about boxing! Hahaha and the white b w/ him! She needs to stfu. Lol

sad but true, the african american community has supported and backed floyd up. The least he can do is give them the fight they want! Floyd always complain about foreign fighters having the support of their country behind them. The black community supports u floyd! Give them the fight they want to see! Blacks are dominate individuals, for floyd to act like this is just not in their culture. This is why i think a lot of blacks is starting to put pressure on floyd. It's like really man? This small ass asian is calling u out and u ain't gonna do shiiet about it? stop man just stop it

Fights coming and I actually agree with Smith, Floyd will give Pac a boxing lesson and will eat him up. Other than that i dont care what these 2 trolls have to say. Skip isnt even a sports guy. Im pretty sure i know more than him and Smith knows Basketball but thats it.

Bottom line here is that CBS no longer wants to be part of the fraudulent way of propping up a fake cash cow. Espinoza, as you have read, decided not to release PPV numbers any longer. They want no part of the Schaefer/Haymon way of defrauding fans just to make this fake PPV star look good. Very true but expect blow back from the idiot Floydtards

waits for dunn to come in and say so what manny only did 300k with algieri.... wait for it.... wait for it.......

Yes, Stephen A. Smith... we can knock Floyd for using Arum as an excuse because that wasn't an issue in the original negotiations. and can knock Floyd if he uses that excuse because he's putting whatever 'resentment' he has as more of a priority over the wishes of fans who pay the ppv's .

Skip bayless at it again?????

Fraudhype.com just got some more web hits lol

8:40 - CBS/Showtime lost $16M on Floyd last two fights which is vs Maidana. This was pretty obvious when you crunch the numbers, at least now it's someone from the Floyd side finally admitting it and why Floyd's daddies at Showtime I meeting with Arum.

Of course his afraid of Manny. Because Manny has a difficult style, he throws a lot of punches from all angles and with power. The other thing is Manny has fast hands and fast feet plus he will hit Floyd every on the body, biceps, temple and ears. This could mess up Floyd's older his equilibrium and possibly drop him. Manny gets hit but he immediately hits you backs with combos. Floyd will hit back but maybe a two punch weak combos. This is why Floyd doesn't want to face Manny.
