Why i wont give Mayweather props if he does beat Manny

[Dynamite Kid]

that was pretty funny.

[-Reflexes-]

So you dont give Floyd props for beating Shane the Number 3 P4P and Pac the Number 1 P4P.

Yet you made a thread giving Floyd credit for fighting JMM.

The Art of Trolling.

yea, I was thinking the same thing.

[Shadows]

I think he meant credit as the best of his era....

[p4p-champ]

You wouldn't give Mayweather props no matter who he fought. True story.

...well, maybe if he decided to move up and fight the Klitchkos.

[Talon]

Shane Mosley was great. Did he find a way to beat Forrest? Forrest was smacked about Ricardo Mayorga, what does that say?

Then shane smacked Ricardo Mayorga about

Why i wont give Mayweather props if he does beat Manny. My pal Shadows just PM'd me asked me what i think about the fight so i thought id post the message i sent him. This is my own!! opinion and i dont expect anyone else to subscribe to it but these are my personal thoughts.


Pacquiao vs Mayweather

You'd have go with Mayweather 60/40. It might be more in Mayweather's favour but there is no telling how he will adapt to Pacquiao's style, although thats probably me being optimist more than realistic. I dont like Mayweather at all lol

Ive seen Mayweather knocked out of his comfort zone before but he eventually adapted and went on to win. I expect the same here.

Whitaker used to struggle to get to grips with these awkward fighters like Poli Diaz, Gary Jacobs but once he worked them out he picked them apart. I know these guys are not on Pacquaio's level though

Anyone has a chance early in a fight if they can keep closing the gap but its what happens when they tire and are not able to press that gap as much. When that happens technical superiority usually shines threw imo.

I dont think Manny will lose wide though, well he might lose clearly but it will definitely be competitive because even the fights Manny has lost, besides his KO losses, were competitive fights, plus Manny has terrific stamina and Mayweather is not a particularly big puncher in my estimation.

If Mayweather beats Pac i still wont rank him above Pac historically. There is a bad match out there for all fighters, so winning a one of fight against a guy who has been proving himself consistently does not cut it for me. If you have 5 fights against top caliber fighters you have a greater chance of coming across a style nightmare, if you fight a guy who established himself as the best and beat him in a one of fight that does not do a lot for me.

Mayweather won't really "beat" Pacquiao either. He can out "touch" him, but he's not going to be dealing any serious damage at any point. Marquez looked completely outside of his weight class yet he was able to go the distance. I remember thinking halfway through the fight that Mayweather wasn't going to stop Marquez, you can just see him holding back and being afraid to exchange.

there is a difference between being defensive or just being straight up cowardly. Pea was very defensive but even he tried to land something with venom.

Floyd used to be like this in the lower weights, but it's clear at WW and above he doesn't feel he can take punches to well.

By the same logic the you shouldn't give Pacquiao credit if he beats Mayweather.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Floyd gets no credit for beating Pac? Trolling at its finest.
