Ehmm you guys for real lol? Conor kicked the * out of him and dropped him a couple of times in the first 2 rounds then gassed round 3 and almost got stopped. Then won Round 4 and lost 5 cos he barely engaged since all he needed to do was not get hit.
There are few fighters that have my respect the way that Timothy Bradley has my respect. He is a throwback fighter, willing to fight anyone seemingly. He has a huge heart, mixes it up brilliantly. Isn't the best fighter but gets victories because he wants it more than his opponents.
The way he outboxed Juan Manuel Marquez with one hand was something to behold.
Yep exactly this, against manny he kept on fighting till the end and you could actually tell he wanted it more, regardless of the fact that pac is obviously a level above him. Still earned my respect
I have had enough yes and i have been buying pac and floyd ppvs for the past 5 years, but there comes a point when enough is enough.
I aint buying either of their fights anymore, and btw this shouldnt even be directed at floyd only, manny is to blame as well, yes, though floyd obviously has more of he blame.
Thing is i dont think pacquiao is doing enough to fight floyd at all costs.
How about this after floyds next fight, why not step in the ring and confront him directly and call him out right there and then, how about for his next fight, go and beat rabchenko, floyds mandatory for his junior middlewight title. Then floyds in a corner, and if he does end up dropping both belts to avoid fighting manny, then it will be considered as the greatest duck in boxing history and no one, not even floyds most loyal fans can defend that move.
he should stay with TR.
the best fights are in TR and manny makes the most cash taking in house fights. plus i dont mind seeing great rematches!
i wouldnt have it any other way!
Tbh this.
Think about it, who the hell can realistically beat manny bar floyd in golden boy? Bradley and marquez are the 3rd and 4th best welter weights in the world.
I answered yes in the poll of course to see the superfight but I'm not really that interested to watch pac fight Garcia or Thurman or maidana or khan. It will be one sided.
The real question is no 2 or 3 imo? I mean beating bradley ( again) can really put pac in no 2 especially due to wards lack of activity in the coming year.
no way ward has put in his work if anything people can make a case that he should be number1 and floyd number 2 and if manny beats tim he would be ranked number 3 no if's,how's,or but's
No way ward above floyd, and the thing is ward's lack of opponents might put pac at no 2.
I have gained so much respect for bradley last year, the way he beat prov and marquez, two elite fighters, you have to admire that.
Also with regards to the pac fight, people need to let that go and stop berating him on that, its not his fault. He is simply not on pacs or floydslevel and there is no shame at all in that because we are talking about 2 atgs who only come once in a lifetime
Mayweather, just like he would have in 2010.
Pacquiao isn't shot by any means, he's past prime-still good. So is Mayweather.
Mayweather is just a better fighter. But both are more or less the same guys they were in 2011.
Yeah i mean im really annoyed when i hear these people saying how pacquiaos done and all that. Bull, yes hes not as good as he was 3 years ago, but definitely not far from it. Hes slightly less then prime right now, still got the speed, power, footwork.
It would have to be an HBO-Showtime deal like Lewis vs Tyson. I just don't see HBO who was the main contributor of making the fight so big just sitting back and allowing Showtime to have it.
Yeah thats what i figured, but if thats the case like will there be all access and 24/7?
World is still clamoring for this fight to happen. And you preaching them not to fight and I'm full of ****? Look at the mirror your like a duck who needs to find a pond to sink into. It's all over the media.
PAC and May are the most popular boxers in the planet. Especially PAC when we talk of the world. And you say it ain't relevant for money and glory? Your dumb as a duck bud. Grow some common sense.
Lol this
Pacquiao vs Mayweather is and will always be the biggest fight possible.
Imagine the promos, press conferences, all access, 24/7, weigh in and then the fight itself. Everyone will be talking about the fight as well as watch it.
Imagine what he would have said had he been in pacquiaos position against bradley.
Bradley clearly beat marquez, this guy is just plain delusional and im starting to lose all the respect i ever had for him.
Deosnt want to rematch pac but wants a braley rematch :damnit1:
Anyone who says they dont want to or will not watch the fight are plain lying, yes its not what it could have been 3 years ago but its still the best fight out there by a mile and will shatter records.
Please i hope youre not one of those that jumps on tha bandwagon that pac has decreased because in reality he hasnt, beat braldley convincigly, an elite fighter, got knockout out by a hail mary punch in a fight which he was dominating and just got careless. His skills hasnt diminshed at al, contrary to what many people want to believe. Floyd certainly hasnt either, it will not be as exciting as it was 3 years ago but its by far the best fight out there
Im still a bit confused, could someone clarify?
How is the money still an issue? Say its 60-40: 60 goes to mayweather and 40 goes to pacquiao with arum taking 20% or whatever from pacquiaos share. Surely it doesnt affect floyd?
No dont want it all, pacquiaos speed will be way too much to handle for canelo, it will probably be similair to mayweather canelo and pacquiao will use the same style he did against rios.
Pacquiao by UD or late TKO
