Because everybody at Welterweight would slaughter his small ass, AND he wouldnt hit nearly as hard up there
haha how wrong you were
Because the guys at 147 weigh 155 for their fights, big difference. Mayweather would pound pac to submission, I will bet the house if that fight were to happen.
Wonder if you would still bet your house
Don't get it twisted ; I respect the hell out of Manny.
The thread title and the way I was discrediting him was meant merely as a baiting tactic ; but my original point of them being nearly identical in size and weight, and that they should fight stands firm.
And how can Floyd be ducking Pacquiao right now? He's already scheduled to fight Marquez.
He put out the word just a few weeks ago or so that if Manny wanted it, he'd pay Marquez to step aside and they could get it on.
But Manny opted for the easier fight with Cotto. A guy he's going to wipe the damn floor with, no doubt.
And who cares about the financial demands of either guy?
Let them settle that bullshit, it's none of our concern. Our only concern should be seeing the two of them scrap, not counting their cash or negotiating their purse split.
Lol this is pretty funny....so you really think pacquiao was going to accept floyd "paying jmm" to step aside? as if....pac his big fights to go for, he aint gonna go for pbf straight away....Also i dont really agree with it..but the reason people said he ducked him is because he made the fight with JMM THE DAY BEFORE pac faught hatton....why not wait 1 more day and see who the winner was?...thats their point...
Also pac going for the easier fight? cotto? LMAO, how in the world is that the easier fight....cotto is a packs a hell of a punch, can counter punch very well...and will have about...10 pounds+ on manny....at least with pbf they would almost be equal in weight....And considering how many people on here think cotto will win....and you say hes gonna wipe the floor with him thts a veryyyyyyyyy bold statement...
I think if Mayweather wins against JMM and pac wins against cotto..its what pbf wants.....he probably sees pac is the easier fight then having to fight mosley...and rightly so.....if he then beat pac he would claim to be #1 and probably head into retirement again
For the PBF-JMM thing, see my post above, I don't want to repeat myself.
As for Cotto ; he's a much easier fight for Manny to win than Floyd. Surely even the most hardcore Pacfan can see that.
Packs a hell of a punch? Who's the last Welterweight he knocked out? Nobody. He's not a power puncher, he's an accumulation puncher. But in order for him to be effective he needs to be able to connect often, and against Manny ; he won't.
Manny's too damn fast, fights on angles, gets in, gets his shit off, and gets out.
And I already touched on the weight advantage earlier ; weight doesn't mean shit if you can't find your target. And Cotto won't be landing much of anything against Pacquiao all night long, mark my words.
And once it's all over, and Manny gets the TKO with ease ; please don't be one of those people who are shocked or amazed by it.
There's a reason why every legitimate boxing writer and analyst in the world is picking Pacquiao in this one.
Dont get me wrong i do think manny will win, i just dont think hes going to "wipe the floor with him" .... Yeah he aint really a KO artist or anything but its true we havnt seen manny take a punch...cotto faught marg and clottey...his punching power aint gonna be on display there.....Cotto can counterpunch to and manny gets hit by them...but obviously cotto aint the counterpuncher JMM is....
And if he gets the TKO with ease...i will be shocked...but its no way gonna be a early round stoppage
50 men, bare handed could not take on a male gorilla in it's prime. Even if they were all clones of tyson.
Your telling me a 745 lb, 6ft gorilla. Arms strong enough to flip a family sedan and can tear the arms off a human, would lose to tyson?
:rofl:
nooooo i was just downloading the fight in ur sig n now u ruined what the outcome was gona be!!!! :(
Man, I thought Pacquiao would beat Mayweather easy but after Marquez fight, I changed my mind...lol, Pacquiao seem to be not interested in boxing anymore..
Do you even watch boxing....
No 1 in history would beat mayweather easily....
HAHAHAA!!!
And what do the fans say?
What do boxing writers say?
What do pro boxers say?
What do boxing trainers say?
What do Manny's friends and sparring partners say?
LIKE I SAID MARQUEZ WON!
Stop chewing Manny's testicles!!!!!!
I dont get why everyone is making a big deal outa khans statements....
The truth is...if he was such a good friend of manny's....he wouldnt be saying that... I mean POSSIBLY he mite have said he scored the fight for marquez....but no way would he be saying the things he apparently has said...il wait till he comfirms the statement on tv or something tho....sometimes they write some bullsh1t things
You have 1 trainer telling his fighter he has won from the 9th-10th round
And another whos telling his guy to go out and win cos its 2 close
thats what the pic shows....
Why would you ever tell your fighter you won....when he believes hes been robbed in the first 2 fights
He should have known better himself
Talk about using someone elses name to get somwhere lol
Lets be real.....Pac would murder this guy
I do like Guerrero hes got great technique, hes similar to marquez.....
But if he had trouble with a Michael Katsidis (and he did win, but it was a war)....Than i wouldnt even wna see him against pacquiao
A marquez fight would be interesting...battle of the techniques
Also i would stil like to see him vs maidana
I had it 116-112 Pac (give or take a round)
Im gonna rewatch the fight..... But I had it pretty much a draw up to round 8.... then JMM just took his foot off the gas and started fighting from a shell...especially the last 2 rounds, I dont even remember him trying to hit pac
Gonna watch it again now and see if i score it the same
1 thing tho, you get people saying 116-112 for pac is crazy, how is 116 (or even 117) to 112 for jmm...not crazy
Cos the punches landed were so similar..every1 has to go to something else like...movement, ring generalship, defence etc... some people are favouring pac..some jmm
I feel bad for Pacquiao. You can see the shame in his face, he can't even smile. He knows he lost the fight, but he will never admit.
I think its more the fact hes used to every1 cheering for him...he heard the boo's....
People saying just look at mannys reaction after the fight...that just stupid
JMMs trainer telling his fighter he has won in the 10th round...yeh Good job
Roach told Manny its close...Manny knew it was close
He went n prayed in the corner after the bell rang
He's right PAC did look like when he fought Marquez the first time
Thats because its the same pac since the first fight.....
His opponents have just been perfect for him....wanting to fight fire with fire....
Marquez is different to any1 hes faced since their meeting in 2008
Mayweather gets full credit he came off a 2 year lay off and he fought the Number 2 Pound for Pound :lol1:
Pactards already finding an excuse for a Pacquiao loss against a 38 YEAR OLD LIGHTWEIGHT , a proof that you dont even believe in his talent :lol1:
I dont think either deserve full credit
But how can u say mayweather deserves full credit for coming off a 2 year lay off...
you talk as if all he did was just sit in the house doing nothing, he obviously was at the gym still and constantly keeping fit....
And the number 2 pound for pound was the lightweight champion of the world, who went up to welterweight to fight floyd...and what made it worse, floyd didnt even stick to the catch weight
Well May vs Pac would be by far...far far..... bigger
But, that would be amazing for MMA
If 1 was on, then the other a hour or so later....i think i wld jizz
I think style wise....there aint many people who would trouble mayweather
But ive always seen cotto as a hard fight for mayweather.....
Cotto is fast, hes got great timing, and is technically brilliant...
And I dont see mayweather hurting him, only because cotto really gets hurt from accumulation of punches more than anything else and i dont think mayweather would be trading as much cos cotto is pretty gd on the inside
The whole reason he has that pop and speed etc...is because how his body is....Its like someone really small with amazing agility...saying
imagine if they were taller bla bla, well they wouldnt still have the agility they do have....
Every1 has their own attributes due to the type of body n muscle they naturally have
Well sergio was constantly saying he doesnt think a fight with pac will ever happen because hes too small....
And now hes talking as if him and pac are the same weight :haha:
What a fool.....He should be moving up in weight and try fight the Bhops etc....but he wouldnt dare do that...would he
pac landed way more.
and landed the harder punches.
people expected pac to just blow jmm away.
so when that didn't happen , the natural reaction is to assume that pac was doing bad and jmm was doing good.
a good example of this is the morales-maidana fight.
i was rooting for morales and expected so little from him.
so everytime morales did something , i was jumping and hollering and thinking he was doing better than he was.
that's why a lot of people thought morales won. in truth he got beat up.
Agreed completely.... The expectations were so low for marquez from some people including myself....the reaction changed their scoring
Although i scored it 116-112.... JMM did absolutely nothing in the last 2 rounds
A robbery is Lara v Williams. This was a close fight and I had Marquez winning 115-113. But the word robbery is used to loosely
Exactly....How is it robbery when you have fans split on the decision and judges etc
This aint no RJJ at the Olympics
Thats stupid because one fighters strength is maybe him relying on knocking down the opponent and losing rounds, would they have a rule saying a boxer cant lose 3 rounds in a row...so we will score the 3rd evenly...no...
It has to be fair for every1
