Mayweather-Pacquiao Will Take Time, Says Arum

[xxjace]

Does anyone honestly give Pacman a shot at beating Mayweather?? Cmon people Pac cant beat Mayweather...Arum wants to make all the money he can and doesnt care about pac or cotto kinda sad..

Cotto has never been outboxed and he only got beat up by a bigger man with an iron chin. Even Clottey is a big guy with a good chin who is very physically strong. Cotto has always looked great against smaller guys he can bully, so how is him and Pac not at the least a 50-50 fight? if not in Miguels favor. I just want to see Mayweather in with a live opponent I dont care who it is, but Im not sure there is anyone out there right now who can beat him. I think Mosley is a little too old, Cotto is a little too slow and Pac is a little too small.

*** that. cotto knock that ***** out man. its getting too ridiculous that im thinking this fight could be fixed. the speculations are nonsense.

DAMN...you makin excuses already. this fight is 50/50 or even a slight edge for COTTO (naturally the bigger man) My gut feeling says PACQUIAO, so far my gut feeling has carried me through the DLH AND HATTON bouts. Only fighter that i will not pick PACQUIAO as to having a chance at all is if he fought PAUL WILLIAMS. Mayweather can be beat, 40 tried and 40 failed, its because they were head hunting too much, you can't target MAYWEATHER'S head when he is on defense, to hit him in the face is when MAYWEATHER gets offensive. With that said, in my opinion, stiff jab him continously on his shoulder with a mix of bodyshots, when he gets out of his defensive mode and tries to counter is when you try to counter with a power punch. Jabbing him on his left shoulder will negate his shoulder roll and weaken his left hook and possibly piss him off to get him out of his defensive mode and get offensive. When MAYWEATHER is on the offensive side is when he is vulnerable the most.

Cotto vs Mayweather is the best fight skill wise. Mayweather vs Pacquiao brings in the most cash! If you knock Mayweather then you have to knock Cotto and Mosely because both were chasing Pacquiao like he was the prom queen. At least Cotto has dignity, Mosely jumped off pac's leg and right onto Mayweather's without missing a beat.

Yeah, I noticed Shane humping Floyd's leg Saturday night. It's a damn shame.

I hope Cotto beats Pacquiao, so we don't have to see Mayweather dissect another fighter pushing his limits, but unfortunately I think Pacquiao will beat Cotto.

Floyd will beat Paquiao convincingly in my opinion. Floyd in my opinion can do whatever Marquez can do at least 5 times better and I'm being modest here. Pacquiao had a hard time against Marquez skills at their best WEIGHT CLASS and he won 2 controversial DECISIONS and people think he can BEAT a guy with 5 times better skills than Marquez in HIS CURRENT BEST WEIGHT CLASS??????????

roach is delusional to say theyll **** with cotto and that cotto is weaker , delahoya was super shot when pac beat him and pac couldnt ko or even wobble delahoya,hatton had a glass chin now roach is believing his own bs. gayweather will beat pac without a doubt, and williams mosley berto cotto or margarito can beat gayweather. pac wont stop cotton garunteed.

I never heard ROACH say they'll **** with COTTO, he did say that if they think COTTO has power, he is confident that PACQUIAO has power too. Now if ROACH did say that then i agree with you, but I doubt he said that. Second of all did you even watch the fight against DLH, watch round 7th and 8th and see if PACQUAIO's punches were not hurting DLH. If it wasn't hurting DLH then why the **** is he in a defensive mode for most of both rounds. If he was not getting hurt, then why did he quit. Its because after the 8th round DLH knows that more bodyshots will make him go down, and he didn't want to lose the fight by getting KO by a much smaller guy. If he wasn't hurting then why did he quit like a little *****. Thats probably the reason VICTOR ORTIZ quit against MAIDANA, because he learned from the best, to quit in your stool rather than get KNOCK the **** out. I really can't comment at the moment on what PACQUIAO can do against MAYWEATHER. As much as i dislike MAYWEATHER, he was phenomenal in defeating MARQUEZ. In that fight, i learned one thing, that MARQUEZ was not fast as they claimed in the 24/7, to me he was much slower. Another thing I learned is that MARQUEZ moving up in weight didn't carry his power, unlike PACQUIAO who's power and speed is still with him even thought he move up in weight. With that said, if PACQUIAO gets past COTTO, then the potential MAYWEATHER fight will be his toughest fight of his career hands down. The only way I see PACQUIAO beating MAYWEATHER is by a KO, which is very very difficult, but not impossible. I don't see PACQUIAO beating MAYWEATHER by outpointing him. In my opinion MAYWEATHER will be heavily favored, but that is one fight that i will put my bet on PACQUIAO win or lose, it will be worth it.

mosley and hopkins had floyd shook

Mayweather has done exactly what I thought he was going to do JMM. I didn't think he was going to dominate him every single round. It looked like a sparring session for Floyd. As for November's main event I truly believe that Cotto will win and win big. Regardless of the outcome, PBF will be the P4P king when the smoke clears. He's a master of his craft. Nuff said.

Las Vegas - Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says it will take some time to negotiate a best-seller fight between reigning world pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and former No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr. [details]
