To the thread starter, you are all a joke.. lol
You don't even know how to appreciate the sport of boxing or Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao gave us this opportunity to see great possible fights..
Dude he's a natural lightweight at this time, that's why he's fighting Cotto at 145 to compromise his weight gained.
And for Pacquiao scared of Mayweather?? I believe every CHAMPION isn't scared to fight anybody... I would say, their promoters are scared. Boxing nowadays is all about money... F*CK IT!!
Or should I say Mayweather is scared of Machida? Now what?! lol
.) I'm actually not a joke, I'm quite serious.
2.) Yes, I do appreciate the sport, and I respect Manny Pacquiao.
3.) Yes, he did give us some great fights.
4.) No, he's not a natural Lightweight at this moment. Even Freddie Roach said Manny will never fight at 135lbs ever again. He's a 140lbs fighter now, capable of making 147. Just like Ricky Hatton.
5.) He's fighting Cotto @ 145, 2lbs shy of the Welterweight limit, but technically ; it's still Welterweight. 147 is only the limit for the class. 145 is technically a Welterweight bout.
6.) I already said me calling him scared was a simple bait tactic back when I first created this thread in 2007. But my point still stands ; I called for this fight to happen nearly 2 years ago and everybody said I was a retard for doing so. Now look at everybody else calling for it as well.
7.) Who the hell is "Machida"?
Yes, he is a natural lightweight. The only thing Roach said that because there are no legitimate fighters at 135, I mean moneywise... I dont see a Pac-Mayweather fight even if they both win on their upcoming fights and even if Pac loses in the election for his congressional seat. He will lose with no doubt.
The only chance of seeing Pac-Mayweather fight is to settle Top Rank and Mayweather Promotion's LOLLIPOP...
Based on the performance after his fight with Margarito, now you called him damaged? Shit happens. The loss from Margarito was like his stepping stone. He learned from that loss. He was able to get away and fight against Clottey with a big cut. Now that was heart. He didn't have that against Margarito. I can see he's pretty determined now. I am a Filipino but I'm rooting against Cotto on Nov. 14. Let's just see what happens.
Henry Armstrong as an example ATG. 149-21-10 (101 KO). Back in the days a fighter can fight 2 times a month with only a week of notice or even possibly days.
Longest KO winning streak of 27 KO. beat that. I don't think so. :)
The old days were a legend. If you compare the old greats and present greats. You end up cheering the old days. I tell you, today is our old days.. Time will tell when today will be known as an old day. PAC <= SRL as of now.
How dare you compare Duran to Pacquiao at 135? lol. Pacquiao has only fought once at that weight. DURAN is the king of LIGHTWEIGHTS. No one can beat a prime Duran at lightweight.
That's what so great about this fight... I think Pac will outwork PBF, just like DelaHoya-Mayweather in the 1st half of the fight and you can't question Pac's stamina.. intersting...
It's hard to figure that out unless you're an expert.. But all I can say is that, Mayweather's defense and stance are much very prone to a southpaw especially to the body.. left hook i guess :)
JMM would abuse Cotto. Cotto is a stupid fighter who makes too many mistakes. JMM will pick him apart.
I'll bet you points on that fight if it gets made.
May God bless you... I'm afraid there's something wrong with your brain. peace
