Former junior middleweight champion Winky Wright has become a believer. After picking Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto to beat Pacquiao, and watching Pacquiao batter both fighters - Wright is no longer picking against the Filipino icon. Wright admits to Michael Marley of The Examiner how wrong he was by picking Cotto to knock Pacquiao out. [details]
I feel the EXACT same way as Winky!!!....EXACTLY the same!!!
its amazing how everybody that hated on pac before the cotto fight are now sucking his **** because ya hate mayweather. floyd will spank this southpaw midget. then what the hall will ya say after it. whatever it is i won't be surprised.
1st morales fight, pac's right hand was only for a double jab then he throws a straight left, he lost. 2nd morales fight, pac ktfo morales and shows some right hooks for the first time. 3rd fight, morales was washed up and got ktfo sooner. 1st fight with marquez, it was rightfully a draw. 2nd fight with marquez, marquez won that. Heres a story of pac's career. He improved and improved then after the 3rd morales fight, his skills diminished. I mean who is Jorge solis? Pac didnt beat barrera the 2nd time when barrera was already washed up. In the marquez fight, i never saw pacquiao use a right hand. Then his skills went improving again starting at the david diaz fight. Pacquiao changed his style in that fight and it was the first time I saw him like that. He used his footwork. Then his punching power and right hand improved dramatically. You shouldnt be only surprised with his punching power improving so much, but you should also be surprised by how much he has improved in over a year.
Now to PBF. I respect PBF 140 lbs below. At 147, well thats where his ducking the threats started.
The 2nd fight, Pac beat Barrera via UD, from round 1-12 Barrera is on the survival mode, he was backpedaling the whole fight.
Carlisle, you are a serious hater dude...Who in the hell did Manny beat to prove his greatness? Tell me that. Manny Pacquiao fought an old, weight-drained Oscar DeLaHoya. Floyd Mayweather fought DeLaHoya at 154lbs. Manny Pacquiao fought a Ricky Hatton that was already knocked out and plus he fought with his chin in the air. Floyd Mayweather fought an undefeated and Confident Ricky Hatton and knocked him out. Manny Pacquiao fought a Miguel Cotto was knocked out by Antonio Margarito; plus he was slow and unsure of himself which equals=No Confidence. Floyd Mayweather fought an undefeated Diego Corrales who was also a champion.
Manny Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought a very limited David Diaz and it still took him almost 12 rounds to knock him out. Floyd Mayweather moved up in weight and took on the best the division had to offer him; and won a decision over Jose Luis Castillo and gave him an immediate rematch and beat the brakes off of him. Manny Pacquiao knocked down Marquez 3 times in the first round, and still had a draw. Now that is really pathetic. He lost both fights against Marquez and would not fight him a third time.
So it seems to me that Manny is the real fraud. He ask for catchweight fights so his opponents come in drained and you want to say (wow, this guy is ****ing awesome) I would say: wow, this gay guy wants all of the advantages because he or his team doesn't have confidence in his ability. Enough with this BS catchweights; it's taking away from the opponents of Manny and he is not as good as you think he is, otherwise he would have gave Marquez a third fight after 2 tough fights. He would not ask for catchweight fights against and old DeLaHoya or an underconfidence Cotto. Enough with the hero attitude on Manny, he is more like a zero. Heros don't ask for this many advantages.
If he destroys floyd, then I want him to whoop my boy shane mosley next, then i will be a true believer....i'll be an honarary filipino black dude and call myself Nonito, LOL
You cannot refer to the Corrales fight to prove Mayweather's "greatness".
Corrales had given up the division because he couldn't make the weight, At the same time he'd undergone a trial for wifebeating and had been sentenced to 2 years in jail. Also he was flat broke, on his way to jail, and needed money very badly.
Mayweather jumped on this, and when Corrales was interviewed a while before the fight, and was asked about getting down to 130, he sighed, shook his head and said very quietly,
"it isn't easy, but he made me an offer I couldn't refuse".
That was when, for the very first time, I began to like him.
The well known boxing scribe T.K.Stewart wrote that Corrales didn't make the weight first time, that he'd spent most of the previous day, and that morning in a sweatbox, that every bone in his body was visible and he had a very bad grey colour. Stewart said, even though Corrales was the favourite to win, as soon as he saw him, he knew he had no chance.
His trainer said that he couldn't get him to train, he was concentrating on fasting etc to get the weight down, and he couldn't drag him away from computer games, when he should have been training. [He was only going through the motions, to get the money].
Larry Merchant has said several times that as he was going past Corrales's dressing room, he saw him stuffing his mouth with a sandwich, just before the fight.

Wasn't Corrales fighting @ 1301b over 2 years after the FMJ fight? Yes it was dishonest of Floyd for taking a fight that he was clearly the underdog.. If we even give thought to your logic; how did FMJ know Corrales was going to come in over weight and wasn't training? See how ****** that sounds?
Dude the situation is pretty obvious. Floyd took the opportunity and you cannot deny the FACTS.
