Mayweather May Duck a Pacquiao Fight, Says Arum

[Calilloyd]

Mayweather is a certified ducker. Trust me he will overprice himself.

Or maybe Arum will try to lowball Mayweather which makes him just as responsible for killing the fight.

[neolove1@comcas]

That Cotto/Mosley fight could have gone either way, and wanted Mosley to win. He gave away too many rounds. The same way Clottey gave away the last few rounds.

[K-Nan]

It's all just bait. Arum is doing his job as a promoter.

[switchsouthpaw]

But I don't think Mayweather expected Pacquiao to defeat Cotto in a devastating fashion. We'll see if he actually signs the contract. Saying "absolutelY' to whether or not he would fight Pacquiao means nothing.

Exactly-- everyone says "yes I'll fight anyone they put in front of me", that is of course until they get knocked out by the other thing you put in front of them first...the contract.

floyd fought jmm because jmm has no chance of taking away his undefeated record...

pac has even less of a chance---news flash kid....

Roach talkin his bull**** as usual

Roach? You haven't read it right? You just directly say Roach without reading the article.

Hey Main Event read first before you post. Its Bob Arum..

[QUOTE=Princemanspopa;6718593]Don't speak on a subject you clearly don't understand.






I do admire the fact than a Pacquiao apologist such as yourself pretty much admits that Cotto was faded and weight drained.








Roach actually said that he wants Mayweather to come down to 145,just as Cotto did.I do wish team Pacquiao shared the same confidence that you have,they wouldn't have had to have had Cotto come down an extra two pounds to fit Pacquiao's preference then.







Antonio Cervantes was most certainly shot by the time he fought Aaron Pryor.I have met Santa Claus and he tells me that you are a liar.The reason Aaron Pryor never fought Thomas Hearns as a pro is because Pryor didn't have the balls to move up a weight class.



I didn't list any sources idiot.I can tell the difference between two fighters and where they stand in class,it's not difficult.One fighter rose to the occasion against elite competition on numerous occasions and the other struggled with supbar competition and had one excellent(although questionable) performance against an elite(although faded) fighter in his entire career.




You watched the legendary nights episode and that is your source and unfortunately for you that exposes you as a complete and utter newb who doesn't know anything about this sport.Since when does calling out a much greater personality and fighter than yourself at a public press conference quate to the other ducking?

Aaron Pryor admitted to turning down $500,000 to fight Ray Leonard in his post fight interview after eating Lennox Blackmoore.There was a thread made about it here

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=323019

He struggled against Miguel Montilla,Dujuan Johnson,Leonidas Asprilla and received a gift decision against Gary Hinton


First of all you don't have to insult me... did I called you idiot? But I guess that pretty much summarizes who you are.

What is that legendary nights? Is it a boxing docu? I love docus and would love to see them. About what is it... about Pryor-Cervantes???

What does it prove? Yeah, he turned down the MONEY to fight him... he made over a mil with Arguello who wasn't as big as Leonard later on... so why should he take him on for low money. Let's face it he could have lost that fight and in that time it's not like your coming back like today especially since Pryor wasn't the guy with the big viewer support like a Hearns. He turned down a lowball offer... it ain't get bigger then Leonard so if he wanted to make any money ever who else should have brought it to him. It's like fighting DLH for 2 dollars.

Asprilla fight I can't tell... I ain't saw it...

Johnson was an ok fight, he got him out with an KO... I don't see the big problem... because he went down or what??? It happens... ask Ray Robinson.

Montilla wasn't the sweetest performance but he was clearly leading on scorecards and got him outta there as well

Gary Hinton fight I don't even count anymore... that was as he was addicted and retired afterwards... do you count Ray Leonards sub par performances as well, after his prime... against the likes of an Kevin Howard etc.???

[Calilloyd]

Anyone who beats the best fighter in the world will get credit. People will give him credit if he can beat Pac. But he wont be greater than Pac if he beats Pac though, because history will say Pac beat 10 great fighters, and PBFs will say he beat 1. Do the maths! Theres a reason Randolph Turpin isnt greater than SRR, even though he beat SRR.

PBF just needs to give credit where it is deserved as well though. Like Pac beating Cotto. Doesnt that deserve your credit PBF?

Comparing Randy Turpin to Mayweather is just ridiculous. And who are the 10 "great" fighters Pacquiao beat? Fighters past their prime don't count.

[leonthegee]

didn't floyd just downplay pac's skills on a sky sports interview---how the **** is that ducking the fight? floyd literally trashed pac in that interview---floyd wants this fight and he know what he's going to do to pac---beat his ass all over that ring---guaranteed---pac is the one saying he needs a vacation and avoiding the answer we all want to hear him say---yes, i want to fight floyd---no if's--and's--or but's about it---the negotiations---floyd being an *******---floyd just wants him to come out and say he wants to fight him---that's all---that's was just this past monday on sky sports---i listened to the 25 minute interview---floyd was right on it--pac seems as if he'll duck the fight--not floyd---and floyd asked the question and answered it very easily---can manny pac beat floyd mayweather jr----absolutely not---roach, arum, nor pac fans can fight for him--pac knows what's in store for him when he fights floyd-- a ****ing ass whooping----i'm taking bets now from people who truly believe in pac....floyd's spanking his ****ing ass---

ur all over it brotha.

[counterpunch]

All Arum have to do is accept the deal Floyd is asking for! Floyd has proved his point. Most of boxers Pacman beats to stardom are his left over like Hatton, DLH plus he beats Marquez more convincingly than PAC... it clearly shows that PBF is the superior here.
