Mayweather questions Pacquiao's stature among boxing greats

[Russian Crushin]

The mediator didn't rule in anyone's favor. Their job is to find a median point. Not say whose right or who is wrong. You can't objectively tell someone that they are wrong, because it would imply bias towards one side for having a different opinion. You can only try to meet in the middle and both sides failed to do so.

However if anything the mediator ended up pissed at the end because neither party were supposed to disclose details from the mediation, and not only did Bob Arum break that clause, but he began spouting off lies to go along with them.

The blood they took from Pacquiao 19 days out was for AIDS and other diseases like that. Except that Freddie Roach says when blood is drawn from Pacquiao he loses 3 days of training, but the very next day there were reports of Pacquiao knocking out sparring partners.

I blame both sides for the fight not happening.

Yea i know its for AIDS and things but thats what he has to do.....if he was required to take blood test but the commision he would definiatly do it in my opinion......What im saying is Floyd is looking for leverage over Pac but Pac wants the last say so they fight on his terms

The Mediation part i just heard the mediator found the 24 as an acceptable median point

floyd talks way to much about pac to be focused on shane.

In the last 10 years, how many fights did Floyd have? Who did Floyd fight?

What about Henry Armstrong? Why would he be the ultimate P4P king (of all times) when he had 21 losses and in those 21 losses, he got KOed twice. I don't understand also.

Translation: Being boxer of the decade is not about not having losses! But the kind of quality and exciting fight you have where a boxer risks against all odds and still emerge a champion! Does Floyd have that kind of attitude?

“Manny Pacquiao struggled twice, which we really know he got beat, struggled twice with Marquez, which we know he really lost. Right? And we know he been knocked out twice and he got outboxed by Erik Morales, but then they still give him Boxer of the Decade. So that’s another thing I don’t understand,” said Mayweather.


That's the part I didn't understand either!

Former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. again took a swipe at international boxing star Manny Pacquiao, questioning the Filipino’s stature among boxing greats.

In a conference call about his upcoming fight against “Sugar” Shane Mosley, the controversial boxer downplayed Pacquiao’s sensational victories over Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto and Britain’s Ricky Hatton.

“He beat a Miguel Cotto who got pummeled with a cast and he beat a Ricky Hatton that got stretched by me… That’s not for me to put him in the Hall of Fame,” Mayweather said in a report posted on boxing.fighthype.com.

The Filipino stopped Cotto in 12 rounds last November to win the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title, his 7th in 7 weight classes.

Prior to facing Cotto, Pacquiao knocked out Hatton in just 2 rounds. It took Mayweather 10 rounds to stop the bull strong Briton.

The Boxing Writers Association of America thus picked the Filipino over Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera as the Fighter of the Decade.

Analysts also compared Pacquiao to the late boxing great Henry Armstrong, who simultaneously held world titles in 3 three different divisions.

The undefeated Mayweather also said that unlike him, the Filipino has suffered losses in his professional career, aside from struggling against counter punching expert Juan Manuel Marquez.

“Manny Pacquiao struggled twice, which we really know he got beat, struggled twice with Marquez, which we know he really lost. Right? And we know he been knocked out twice and he got outboxed by Erik Morales, but then they still give him Boxer of the Decade. So that’s another thing I don’t understand,” said Mayweather.

Pacquiao, considered as one of the most exciting boxers today, took over Mayweather’s pound-for-pound status when the latter went on temporary retirement in 2007.

The 2 boxers were supposed to settle the issue of who is the best pound-for-pound fighter through a match last March. However, negotiations for the bout collapsed over a drug test dispute.

As a result, Pacquiao instead fought Joshua Clottey, whom he defeated by unanimous decision last March 13.

Mayweather, for his part, secured a fight against Mosley on May 1.
