Comments Thread For: You’ve got to admit… Floyd Mayweather is Right

[iloveboxing2]

Yes Jr's definitely right!.....

Jr. has all the reason to doubt Pac's superpower and superspeed. Pac is 5'6 with a 67 inch reach, very much considered as midget! Jr. is 5'8 with 72 inch reach plus he is a natural welterweight, How on earth will that PED affect Jr. Mayweather was never beaten before, does that mean that he has a super power? People that usually suspect other people are usually the guilty one. If I am 40-0, I don't care what the other guy take cuz I will still beat the hell out of the guy for 12 rounds.
Pac should and I am sure will get his blood done(USADA) but Mayweather just came out of the closet to tell the world that he is a SCARED of the Midget, no wonder they use to call him PRETTY. Jr. is right though! Pac will always be know as the boxer that fears the needle while Jr. will alway be know as the boxer who feared the Little Man Pac

I didn't even read what Lyle wrote cuz I don't like him as a journalist. I think he is one of the worst.

Saying that I will say that Floyd is not doing a horrible thing here. I would love for boxing to have random blood testing. That would be great for the sport. And, if we do get it. I would thank Floyd for that. For bringing this to light.

But, at the same time I want the state commission to have that as the mandatory. IMO is wrong to demand Pac to do it. And, then never ever get random blood testing again. That will not sit right with me. IMO is unfair to ask Pac to do it and the never ask nobody else ever again. I think that is wrong. If that happened then Pac was just basically singled and it was more of a witch hunt than anything.

Oh no! No credit from an internet character named Mali? ****, what is he gonna do?!

typical response..but what to expect from a internet character who has a avatar of Mr. Pacquiao himself...

It is funny. But that's what happens when you are fighting the guy moving up in weight and taking on the challenge. Now if Floyd was moving up in weight and fighting guys at '54 and '60, or hell how about this: Maybe even some legit welterweights! He could add to his own legacy.

we do see eye to eye on one thing..you think Floyd should fight legit welters..
while I think Pac should fight fighters not drained and over the hill...but you know what happens when he faces fighters that arent drained..Marquez 1&2...and Morales 1(shocker!)..but atleast he has a plan!

Yeah, and I guess your view of greatness is the opposite of almost every boxing expert and writer out there. Give credit where it is due. Floyd Mayweather is a great fighter. He cemented his legacy in the lower divisions as one of the best, if not the best, of our generation.

the same experts you say had a drained shell DLH winning..lol..I think my call is more spot on!..are you saying experts dont consider Chico great...if you find Pacquiao to be "great"..good for you.
my apologies...I just dont

suuure..we'll go with your version!...its not like before they fought Floyd mentioned that Hatton tires easy..or that he likes to break down his opponents..okay..lol

A: Watch the fight again. It's pretty clear he didn't have the timing and was whiffing a lot for the first few rounds... and less and less as the fight went on. A guy doesn't miss on purpose.

B: Floyd has stated very clearly that he doesn't believe in strategy before a fight and that he breaks down a fighter IN THE RING.

That's not my version, that's Floyd's version... and you know... evidence.

All this s*** happening is just a precursor to a great fight!

I was expecting the writer to come up with a more convincing piece after he started off as being objective. Fails miserably.

I have no business denying what his plan was I guess. I'll give you that, but if you don't think it took him a while to get his timing down and do some damage you're just wrong. Come on, he could have dismantled Hatton within 3 rounds, tired or not if he was able to place his punches and counter the way he was later in the fight. You act like I'm taking something away from him. I'm just stating facts, he couldn't hit him clean until later in the fight. That's not part of his training camp strategy, that's figuring a guy out on the fly. It's a compliment to Floyd and a knock on his uncle.
