don't really see anyone on Pac's resume that would come close. But could Pac beat everyone on Floyd's resume....hmmmmmm
The best fighters in Floyd resume were DLH, Hatton and Mosley. Pac already Beat DLH & Hatton Black and Blue & Much easier than Floyds. Mosley already was Beaten by Cotto, You know how Pac mauled cotto right??
You can hate on a great former LW world champion like Jose Luis Castillo all you want but he was in the greatest fight of all time. Corales/Castillo 1.
It's not hate... Just pure facts... Clottey beat Corrales, Hatton KO Castillo. Pac dominates both Clottey and Hatton. Floyd struggled with Castillo.
The media can totally get in people's heads. I was out the other day and a guy who doesn't follow boxing at all, but knows I do, asked me about the Mosley Mayweather fight.
I said it was a shockingly masterful performance by Floyd and that I can't think of anybody that can beat him at the moment.
He then went on to tell me that he thinks Pacquiao would knock him out.
I just said "We'll have to wait and see."
I think it's because Pacquiao is a more likable person to the average person and Floyd isn't. People only see him throwing money around and hear what other people say about him and have never seen him fight.
I do know that Jim Rome is a huge Mayweather fan I would be shocked to hear him say anything bad about him.
It's because Floyd's acting scared all the time. He could have fought the younger Mosley instead of Baldo, Corley, Bruselles, Michelle, and JMM. He could have fought Tzsu. He could have fought Margarito, Pwill, Berto instead of fake retirement. When All fans asking for him to fight Pac, He then create a scenario just not to fight Pac. Why??? The Big Money was there!!! There should be no more excuses!!!
Rome had Floyd on the show before the fight and they got into a semi argument because he didnt like Floyd saying "im the best ever"
So after the fight. Rome says, "Mosley was old, shot, and and was on a long lay off and looked like it"
Soo.. To me thats hating.. He didnt say Mosley was the #1 WW and the best option after Pac.. Of course not.. Just bashed him
Im not saying praise Floyd, just give the man credit.
If it were Pac who dominated Shane, then he would have been showered with praise. And he would destroy Mayweather comments.. Come on people
#1 welter who hasnt fought in 1 and a Half year!! Pac has fought 3 times in that span!! Rome just telling the truth!!
Notice how Mosley almost knock the fuk out little Flyod, luckily for Flyod Mosley almost give up the fight after 2nd round.
Pac in other hand will be relentless from round 1 to round 12, I cant see Flyod keeping Pac off without Pac getting Flyod in trouble and if he does PacWILL FINISH THE JOB!!!. GUARANTEED!!!
That right hook that wobbled Floyd looks like in a Southpaw position. that's exactly how Pac counters the left hooker. Pac duck the left hook then counter with a right hook or straight left. Looks like Floyd will be tailor made for Pac. No wonder Floyd doing all he can to Duck Pac.
Maybe because the image that Floyd has potrayed for himself cannot be stomached by the mainstream media. Dont get me wrong, he's a great boxer, but not all media knows or follows boxing that much. And make no mistake, the image that Floyd created for himself leaves a bad taste to most people..I mean when you potray as a degenerate gambler, a loud talkin' disrespecting a-hole then you are bound to offend some people.
Pac might be the same as Floyd behind the scene (you know a ego-maniac) but he packages himself differently compared to Floyd. Simply put his more of a politician type of character with a good life story, and the media eats up on it. He can be package as better product endorser than Floyd as long as he doesnt talk.
So I dont understand why some people here even bother to ask this question. Its not like Floyd didnt ask for it. Its the character that he built for himself. Some people like it, some people dont. But the mainstream media still hasnt caught up with it yet.
And that is the reason Floyd sells!! WE love to hate him!! We cant wait for him to lose!!! I didnt buy the Mosley fight coz I know he's going to win. 4:1 underdog... that tells u the story. Floyd style of fighting will not sell without his Arrogant persona. Just ask Pernell whitaker. They basically has the same style, but Pee didn't make a quarter of Floyd's Money.
On Espn they showed highlights of the fight on the night of the fight.
(Floyd got no credit or praise)
But then come Monday on the sports shows
Jim Rome is Burning
PTI
Around the Horn
1st and 10
The topic of the fight was near the end of most of the shows as if this wasnt one of the biggest fight of the year. Most of the writers on the shows I mentioned gave Floyd NO credit for beating Shane. They didnt talk about Floyds masterpiece at all. All they said about the fight was..
"Shane was old"
"Shane stopped fighting"
"Shane hurt Floyd"
"Shane had a long layoff"
"The fight was extremely boring"
"Shane didnt come to fight"
Pretty much discrediting Floyds win...
Not ONE "Floyd looked great beating the NUMBER ONE WELTERWEIGHT" SMH...
Yet before the fight they say, Mosley is a HUGE threat. Mosley is a real WW. Floyds gonna be on his bike.. etc etc.. Then Floyd stands in front of Shane and beats the breaks off of Mosleys ass.. No one mentions that AT ALL of course..
Then the Pac nuthugging began!!
"Pac would knock Floyd out"
"Floyd is scarred of Pac"
"Floyds demands are ridiculous"
"Pac agreed to the test, Floyd said it wasnt good enough" WTF? lol
"Floyd doesnt put butts in seats like Pac"
I mean JEEZ.. Casual fans watch these morons and believe them. Totally destroying Floyd and making him look terrible while they praise Pac..
That shit isnt fair and is wrong. Firstly because its bullshit. These idiots dont know anything about boxing.
I really hope the fight gets made.. What are all the Floyd haters gonna say when Floyd beats the "MODERN DAY HENRY ARMSTRONG" :puke:
Of course they would discredit the win somehow someway
All Floyd has to do Is sign the Contract and fight Pac!!! Floyd already said Pac has no skills and yet he has many excuses not to go on with the fight. As long as he keeps on ducking Pac, The media will keep on bashing him!!
I am not impressed with any of his performances and even tho pbf talks alot of bs, everything he says about pac's wins is true. also how can you disregard that morales was winding down his career losing 5 of 6 fights and the one win was against pacquiao. we also know he in reality lost to marquez at least once. I seriously think after mayweather beats him like a drum and busts his face up worse than anyone before(he cuts and swells easily) people will realize how overrated he is. The only win I can give him serious P4P props for is cotto and if he doesnt beat foreman, even that win will be reduced to meaningless.
Pac makes PBF wins against DLH & Hatton a minor achievement.
Clottey Makes PBF wins against Corrales as overrated.
Cotto exposed PBF as Featherfisted By KOing Judah who Floyd failed to KO.
Floyd best win was with the Prime Castillo who he was gifted a UD the 1st time they've fought. BTW Castillo was eventually become Pac's sparring Partner.
Floyd's best Win= Pac's sparring Partner!!
OST really doesnt matter, i think its more of an ego thing for floyd for pac to do what he wants. you cant argue that pacqiao swells easily and with pbf landing near 50 % of his punches his eyes will close within 8 rounds if he is not stopped earlier. if mosley didnt have the power to knock floyd out with a power shot neither does pac....this equals a no win situation. floyd is so right that people like to build fighters up and overrate them and hope they can beat him and lets be honest pacquiao ducked mosley and was scared to fight foreman at 154 when pbf fought a much more talented dlh at his natural weight at 154.
Mosley Cant beat or Knockdown Cotto but Pac makes it so easy!!! Know your Boxing HIstory!!
as stupid as rejecting something and then accepting it later when its already gone.
As stupid as a Floyd fans who still worship their Gay idol for being a coward!!
We love Pac because he's a real Warrior, He's entertaining, and fights anybody!!
PLEASE GOD LET THIS NOT BE TRUE!
If its true, dear father, then let my dear brothers Manny and Money see the light and join the fight. Let them BOTH care less about OST dates and more about the holy fight and its real fans and let them get it on.
Their legacies will be destroyed if they duck this fight and there will no longer be an undisputably best P4P of the decade. That will be a dumb argumewnt that clogs the airwaves forever and that is not fair on fight fans. It is not fair on Brother Money's fans. It is not fair on Brother Pacman's fans. It is not fair on either of these guys legacies.
Dear God. Let this fight happen.
In the name of the Father, Allah, Buddah, all the other dudes and The Holy Force.
Amen
Pray only for Floyd to grow his Cajones!! Pac part was already answered!!!
shane actually took steroids. shane admitted to taking steroids. shane is accused of taking steroids by the most infamous steroid maker in america victor conte. shane is 39, got divorced & needs money.....
now compare that to pacquiao who has never taken steroids, has no evidence that he took steroids, has no connection to steroids, & does not need to beg for a money fight, hence he is not gettting pushed around like shane did.
that is the difference. that is the logic.
shane took the tests because he needs the money fight & actually took steroids. there's a reason for floyd to ask for extra steroid testing against shane.
not pacquiao.
The Flomos will not understand!!! You have tell them in Floyd Sr and Roger style of language!!!
What is the main reason/theory why Pac shouldnt take the tests. For the record, 99% of me believes pac is clean. 1% is left simply for potential that any human being could use PEDs.
Because Floyd has no right to make demands. He's not the commission, He's only #2, He cant outsell pac, He's sold only 1.2M compared to Pac's 1.3M, Pac can make Money without him, Pac dont need the Money anymore, He has Plenty. Floyd need Pac more that Pac needs him.
He trained alongside Luisito Espinosa.

This Photographer Struck it rich!!! Those Pix will be worth a Million Dollars.
What were the general feelings about his comment,"floyd is only asking for tests because he doesn't want the fight or he is building an alibi in case he loses." He said if floyd had any evidence to take it to the commission or else drop the request.
Larry's the MAN!!! He always tell you the truth!! When he said youre BORING, he's telling the truth!!!
What a shit night for fights first Vitali bored me to death,then the ufc bored me to death should have watched the Lakers game.
That's what I watched!! Pretty good game!!
I have a customer, a young White guy ask me If Im going to watch the fight. I said what Fight?? He told me this UFC fight. I said I dont follow UFC only boxing because of Pacquiao. He's raving that it will be a good fight. I wonder how he feels now??
I wont knock UFC because they do have some balls to get hit with knees, feet, & elbows. But man that shit is boring and ugly to watch. There is nothing entertaining about 2 grown men in biker shorts hugging each other and sniffing each others neck.
I like some fights I saw. But generally, UFC cant capture my attention. Hugging in boxing bored me to death, now u want me to try UFC? I dont like also the Idea where U can punch an opponent lying on the Ground. that's too barbaric.
Another one for you. If Floyd was Mexican, would he be considered tougher, braver, better?
http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID5699/images/floyd-mayweather-200.jpg
:haha:
If He's Mexican...
He would have turned Pro at age 16. During those times Floyd was being schooled by Martin Castillo. He would have 5 loses by now.
He would have a Series of fights with JMM, MAB & EM at 122-130 lbs weight Class during the Trios Prime at Prime weights and Could've some loses to the 3 Mexicans.
If Floyd's's a Mexican, He would seek a Fight with Pac already.. maybe long time ago. He would have not duck Pac. He would have 2 KO loses to Pac already!! Remember Pac's the Real Mexicutioner!!!
Floyd's Lucky... He was Born Black and in America!!! The American Media was easy on him. He can get away even if He's a Duck!!
he deserves it but we must understand if floyd didnt retire there was no chance in hell he would be winning it
Floyd retires to protect his undefeated record!! He got scared of cotto and cheato. And now He's scared of Pac!! But he's cornered now!!!
hate to break it to ya bro, but hearns-duran was 1984.
