Is Floyd Mayweather taking a risk fighting Pacquiao?

You are trying to make an excuse for a so-called "weight-drained, out-of-prime" ODLH am I correct? As I watch the replay of this fight, it didn't look like ODLH was a weakling trying to peck away at the Pacman at the beginning of the fight. You can clearly see he was throwing hard shots in an effort to knockout the Pacman. "Weight-drained"? Are you kidding me? As the fight goes on, the Pacman is clearly battering ODLH's head to the point of making him dizzy, disoriented, or whatever. Can you agree with me that in this fight, ODLH was utterly bewildered by the hard pounding he was receiving?

Since only fighters would know this, one could only guess that being hit that hard and that often would definitely take a lot out of you. This "weight-drained, past prime" excuse you give holds no credence in my opinion. The punishment the Pacman had inflicted on him took its toll and even zapped ODLH willingness to retaliated. ODLH looked helpless, totally bewildered but he did not want to quit on his own. His pride kept him from doing that. Only the corner people convinced him it was over. The Pacman was too good for him.

Oscar was WEIGHT DRAINED and PAST PRIME..and that is a FACT..and anyone who does not agree is in simple DENIAL..now u were saying::excuses...EXCUSES??? well thats talk about excuses..u know what an excuse is?? i'll tell u..an excuse is "i couldnt train properly"..thats an excuse!. u know what else?? "i lost because of gloves" thats an excuse! u know what else is an excuse??? "i couldnt see cause my eye was cut, the blood was in my eye" thats an excuse! The sport is called BOXING FOR GOD SAKES...u know what else is an excuse? "SOCKS!! i had blisters cause of my socks!!!!" THAT LadyFan is an EXCUSE..AND THEIR ALL PACQUIAO'S EXCUSES!!... a human being who hasnt fought at 147 for 8 damn years and didnt do LITERALLY NOTHING is not an excuse its a FACT.. so...what is your response to that mrs.Ladyfan?

Please explain the difference of being in a weak condition due to a "weight-drained" condition as opposed to a weak condition brought on by a physical onslaught to the body. Did you see a weak ODLH at the start of the fight? I think not. Did you see a weak ODLH after he was pounded by heavy shots from the Pacman? I think so. I refuse to believe in excuses brought on by individuals in defense of someone who was clearly beaten to the point of helplessness. I'm only a fan of boxing and not an expert. Everyone who witnessed this fight saw ODLH take a physical beating from the Pacman. There was no doubt who was faster and harder punching.

It was a CLEAR indication of both.. just like the second morales fight..do u remember that one? u know..the one where morales was winning on all four judges scorecards before he gassed out?? the EXACT same thing happened to hoya..pac put in those body punches just like he how did morales and just like erik pac took advantage of a depleted delahoya..no one is denying that..Im just sayin that pac's win is REDICULIOUSLY over blown..c'mon now...even erik lasted LONGER then hoya.

Yes, ODLH looked "Depleted and gassed out" toward the end of this fight. And indeed, the Pacman took advantage of that. Isn't this part of the game? Both fighters had basically the same amount of time to train and prepare for this fight. ODLH had the best physical training at his disposal. Was it good enough? We saw what happened. As you saw in the 24/7 episodes, both fighters were up and ready for Dec. 6th. The way I see it, being able to go a full 12-rounds is your goal as a fighter and if your opponent can outlast you and can beat you up in the mean time is a clear indication that your opponent is a better fighter than you.

it is a risk for floyd cause pacquiao is not a walk in the park and when this fight happens that means floyd will step in the ring after a year layoff against the best fighter in the world. but there will be alot of money involved and we all know floyd will take risks when theres big money involved.

I mean he is the the p4p number 1 PLUS he just beat someone BIGGER than Floyd BETTER than floyd did. I mean of course it's a risk. Anytime you step in the ring it is a risk. However, after Floyd puts it on him the excuses won't stop.
