Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Pacquiao: Arum Wants Manny To KO Floyd

[GameBullDawg]

I will NEVER bet against Manny going up against any other fighter
again because he showed me what he can do BUT against Floyd?
I cannot cosign Pac beating Floyd and the main reason why I feel
that way is because of my sig BELOW. On top of that, Floyd to
me is just the all around better fighter technically, with a win mentally.

With a WIN MENTALLY ?????????????? LOL YOU've got to be KIDDING ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL , win mentally.

Mayweather is a very good fighter.Me personally, I have never considered him an all time great.He has a great defense, but this is not basketball or football where a great defense wins championships.I think that Floyd has what it takes to beat Manny, but his last few fights have not showed me that he has enough offensive output to win a decision over Manny.If Floyd uses that defense with a nonstop jab and throw flurries and crisp combinations, it will be a wipe out. Manny will not be able to stand up to it.But of late, Floyd throws one punch potshots. He loves that check-hook,a jab to the body, and a straight right hand.He basically picks his opponents apart with it. But Manny is not an ordinary opponent and it will take soooo much more than that to beat him.There are no more questions for Manny to answer.We know how he will respond to every situation. We know that he has a granite chin, we know he can dig down and fight from behind on points.We've seen him against boxers and brawlers.The man simply finds a way to win. He does not get discouraged and he can come up with the KO punch at any time. Yet...he is beatable. I think Mosley has the style,speed,and punch to beat him.That's why neither guy is interested in fighting Shane. Floyd has the tools,but over the years his punch output has went down.Can he win a decision like that over an extremely popular hard hitting action fighter like Manny?Hopefully on March 13th we will see.Floyd wins all his fights strictly off of his ability.To beat Manny, he will have to rise to another level.His ability alone will not get him the victory.He will also have to do something he is definitely not known for...TAKE RISKS! If these adjustments are not made, Manny wins on March 13th by unanimous decision.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Seriously, that was funny.

Vester and all these guys that write are laughing there heads off at us , they keep putting out the bait , we take it and rip each other up , so funny , LOL !!!!!!!!!!

[GameBullDawg]

alot of champs got koed...joe lious by schmeling,tyson by douglas,ali by cooper twice.so it could happen to pbf aswell.in this sport you cant never know.even pac may get koed...thats it

ONE Main reason I believe that if Pac puts him deep in the trenches Mayweather will QUIT is that he is ducking guys that can do that to him. He is hoping this don't happen of course with Pac but he's in a trap now, Pac will make it a fire fight or humiliate Floyd in the center of the ring with his hands saying come on ! The crowd will Laugh at Floyd , then boo him, HOW can you win a fight like That ??????????

If this fight goes the distance it will be because Floyd ran not because he stood and fought, he needs to stand and Fight, we and the world will pay good money to see a great fight, not a Marathon race.

Its hard to knock out someone who is just surviving !!!

I hope Manny puts the pressure on and makes Floyd fight. I am a fan of both but favor Mayweather in this fight. I just hope for a great fight that lives up to the event.

Grustler,

Haven't you picked against Pacmang in his last "4" fights??? or was it "3" ?????????

I meant to say mentality. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
But for you to laugh at my writing is like a snowman sun bathing,
considering your grammar and phony slang is so hard to read that
only someone METALLY ******ed could understand it.

mayweather is very talented , but castillo did get to him and many thought beat him in there first fight. I personally think mayweather was better back then, he could throw more punches and moved more. floyd has never fought an athlete like manny, and granted that goes both ways but him relying on his defensive, i dont think that will work against the manny we have seen over the last year. we have seen the power manny has carried to WW, and his chin and energy. i think manny's great offense beats and very possibly knocks out floyd and his great defense, especially when you consider that floyd has not been tested defensively in a long time.

Why does everyone keep bringing up the first Castillo fight without
taking into consideration that Floyd was injured and disregarding
the rematch in which Floyd beat him more convincingly when Castillo
weighed 147 while Floyd weighed 138 in a Light Weight bout? So
in actuality No one really knows what style can beat Floyd because
in the second Castillo fight, his game plan was not effective at all.

good luck knocking out the hardest man to hit in boxing,


The only reason for that is Mayweather is P4P the best RUNNER IN THE WORLD OF ALLLLLLLLLLL TIMES !!!!!!!

Of course Arum does... I mean if he ain't wins then it only proved that he was talking BS all the time. It's going to be a tough night for Mr. Arum.

Nothing against Pacquiao but this is easy for May. Pacquiao since moving up has let everyone come to him... most boxers can't come forward and defend. Does anybody here actually think that Mayweather will walk straight to him like DLH, Cotto, Hatton, Diaz??? The only chance that Pacquiao has is to get lucky... if you hit May once his out of the way before you can even think about throwing the second. Easy decision win for May or even a KO. The Cotto fight ain't proved much in his chin apartment... the most punches he saw coming and Cotto actually as well hurt him (you always see it with him when Pacquiao touches his head... when he clabs his hands he ain't hurt) and did it pretty much with one shot at a time because he wasn't really able to follow up. Pacquiao also wasn't physical stronger as Cotto. He had simply punching power and if you beat up someone with your punches then it takes a toll on your body. That's why Manny chased him around but he wasn't physical stronger... it started after Cotto simply couldn't take anymore. If Pacquiao has to create offense by himself it's getting difficult for him... he will go crazy and if Mayweather times him right the lights will go out. You can call me crazy now but please mark my words... if I come back here after the fight and tell you I told you so.

Second of all... again what I don't get it how ppl cry about May ''running''. He's a mover... there is a big difference. Cotto for example for most part if he moves runs... he runs into an other corner to give him a breather... Mayweather moves and everytime but always in distance to strike for him. The foot movement throws the opponent off... that's his style... I don't come out here and say: Hey, Pacquiao isn't allowed to throw his left hand either or??? So stop the crying... if Pacquiao is everything that you guys say and is even faster then Mayweather it shouldn't be problem right? Stop the bitchin'... after Mayweather put on a boxing clinic against a great offensive fighter give the man his respect and don't start now with all the excuses and talk **** afterwards.

I like Manny and hope he can make it competive but I have my doubts... Mayweather is a WW now too... but he has AT LEAST the same handspeed and footspeed that Marquez and Morales had at their fights with Pac... so I see no reason why a guy who is even much more talented especially defense wise shouldn't get the job done...

I'm looking foward to the event... it should be the biggest fight of this decade probably even of the last two decades who knows... it's going to be great. 2 great fighters... still in their prime... what you want more... I'm excited

Grustler,

Haven't you picked against Pacmang in his last "4" fights??? or was it "3" ?????????

I did pick against him but also was for him in the same breath. Like
I previously said, while Manny is a very good fighter, I see his flaws
and holes like I saw Cotto's (Wasn't I right about him?) His last
4 fights were impressive but none of them fighters displayed any
defense and now I learned that Manny is the best offensive fighter
because of his speed and now power. I thought size and power
would expose him but was wrong, sue me. I wasn't a big fan of
Oscar, Hatton or Cotto (as everyone knows) I didn't pick aggainst Manny
because I don't like him, I picked against him because I thought the
fighters could expose his flaws but didn't happen. Floyd is a different
story in my book and has the style to beat Pac.

This is a joke!!! How about Arum vs Roach as the opener to Floyd vs Pac
