Pacquaio is getting severly overated - calm the hype train down

[JACK D. RIPPER]

A drained Oscar? A sitting duck for Pacquiao
A shot, overated, tailor made Hatton? Sitting duck for Pacquiao

Listen, he's a great fighter, but Freddie Roach knows exactly what type of fighter Pacquiao can beat. Pacquiao cannot handle a boxer. JMM already proved this. If you think for a second Pacquiao has a chance against a superior defensive, accurate puncher like Mayweather you need to get your head examined.

Cherry Picked opponents ftw.

I can dig whats in the bold...but I disagree about Mayweather...Pac can and will beat him.

[Da Hammer]

Gotta love the excuses from the Pac Haters. Fact is Pacquiao is the BEST and will continue to prove it against top fighters unlike Mr.Boat Buyer! Its gonna be hilarious when Manny does Floyd's job for him and beats Cotto!!!

[Benny Leonard]

Uh....just 2 years ago it seemed improbable if not impossible that Pac vs Floyd would ever get matched up with 1 another even at a catchweight because of the size difference. Maweather had already been WW champ while Pacquiao was just finishing up his trilogy with Morales at 130.

So please dont give this crap about it being where floyd is now as opposed to years ago.

Did you read the rest?

I'm saying that Freddie would have second thoughts of facing Floyd at his absolute best which was from 130-140 (and when he was younger). Freddie is always looking for angles.
Pac on the other hand, doesn't seem to care; he just wants to fight the best and will take risks...but he'll listen to his team.

JMM was the best prime fighter Pac fought and he had trouble.

I'm not denying that. He's just beaten a beat up hatton and a dehyrated oscar. It makes great boxing but let's see him face bradley @ 140 and watch him get KTFO.

Hatton was better than Bradley, are u saying if Pac wants the credit we are giving him he has to beat the great Timothy Bradley to get it from u?

Floyd between 130-140 would mean Pac was at 122-126. So that's really a bad analogy.

As far as Roach always looking for angles....what trainer doesnt??

Mayweather doesnt even look like he's lost a step since his 135 days. Only difference i've seen is him being complacent now that he only fights cherry picked opponents. But all the tools are still there.

And name 1 fighter that didnt have trouble facing Marquez?? I prefer to look at it as Pacquiao having given Marquez the most trouble out of anyone Marquez has ever faced. Which is a testament to how good they both are.

the last time floyd fought at 130 , pacquiao was at 122.

when pac jumped to 126 , floyd was already at 135.

pac's first fight at 130 , floyd was about to go to 147.

i'd have second thoughts of pac fighting floyd at 130-140 too. lmao



plus WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER? pac and floyd are less than 2 years apart with floyd having 10-15 less fights. lol

Haha come on man, EVERYONE Knows Hatton was THE Top fighter at 140 lbs
