Floyd Mayweather has made a complete fool out of Pacquio, and I'm not happy.

[Gutz]

what a dumbass response..manny dodged and ducked shane..dont forget that

Do you honestly believe that..


Lets no forget that Pac beat the guy who beat Mosley..

[.Sakuragi.]

He's built his career up this high only to let us down in the face of making the most important fight of his career as well as one of the biggest boxing events in history?

Over giving a little bit of blood?

Please.


If that's not letting your fans down, I don't know what is

So, just because its one of the biggest boxing events in history it needs of ost? Give me a break.

Why didnt floyd asked the commission to get the rules stricter, why does floyd pressure just one fighter?

We're a week out from what might be the biggest fight in a decade, and somehow the storied resurrection of boxing, Manny Pacquio, is not involved.

How strange is that? New and old boxing fans alike were referring to Manny as the savior of the sport, a Christ-like figure sent to save boxing in the wake of declining numbers, lackluster matchups, and MMA's ever growing popularity. We haven't heard his name much at all lately though, unless it was the same sentence as "drug tests" and "steroids", or potential match-ups with disgraced (Margarito), deceased (Valero), or just plain lesser fighters (Khan).

All the excitement, all the hype, all the steam propelling Pac's career to super-stardom has disappeared since the letdown of "The Event". The PPV numbers for a fight against a guy basically unknown outside of hardline boxing fans were surprisingly good.

Why? Because Manny Pacquio fights aren't like other boxers at the top like Mayweather and the Klitschkos, Manny only faces tough guys for all-out battles. Manny Pacquio fights are fights where you get your money's worth.

They certainly were, until the Clottey fight.

How could they have known Clottey wasn't going to fight? Well, they wouldn't have had to worry about that, had they had taken the more competitive, better paying, and most importantly more meaningful fight.

Somehow Floyd, the "arrogant coward", is both cleaning up the sport and fighting one of the toughest and most anticipated fights of his career.

I'm a Pacquiao fan, and I'm not happy. I think it's time for other Pacquiao fans to be mad too. I'm tired of being disappointed and bull****ted by the guy we've all rallied behind and supported since he came to America.

A year ago if you had said on this forum that Pacquio is going to turn down a fight with Floyd because he doesn't want to drug test, so Floyd is going to challenge Mosely instead, you would have been Red k'd and laughed into oblivion. But, As Larry Merchant said last weekend on Boxing After Dark:

"How things do change, Bob. How things do change."

Good read mate!

Can't blame you for feeling that way.

You rallied behind him since he came to the U.S.

But do not overlook Bob Arum's scumbag ways on why people, including you, drove the hard road to conclude such.

Kinda odd that the best fighter in the world have no say on who he'll fight, he said it so himself, "I'll fight anyone who my promoter says I'll fight".

So keep rallying for your favorite fighter if it is Pacquiao, but make sure you guys are not blinded by the whole cloud scumbag Arum had sprowled since he acquired Manny.

My sig says it all....

[immortal tech]

If Manny fights another Toprank boxer in his next fight I would lose all respect for him

[pasawayako]

naw he never ducked cotto..arum was to blame..thats why floyd hasnt fought any top rank fighters

LOL. Maybe you forgot floyd's excuse that "cotto lives too far".

[PH|L]

I'm a big Pac fan and I'm pretty happy. Two dominating wins over top 5 WW's back to back, considering that he was beating Hatton at JrWW less than a year ago. I think its great. I would have loved for the Mayweather fight to happen but they couldn't come to terms. That's the bottom line. I can see both their points of views

As for Mosley, people gotta remember that before Mosley beat Margarito, he wasn't even in most people's top15 p4p. He's not some kind of consistant killer. He had a great performance 16 months ago, but he hadn't been in top form leading up to that fight, and he hasn't done anything since.

I don't think this guy was a real "Pacquiao" fan at all. Or at the very least if he was a Pacquiao fan, he's always been a bigger Mayweather fan.


People have really been attempting to villify and tear down Pacquiao in the media, outside the ring, recently. Inside the ring, the man is untouchable. Winning 12 rounds against Clottey is considered a sub-par performance by the amazing standards that Pacquiao has set for himself. If people can really focus on the boxing, and forget all the he-said, she-said bull**** spin that happens outside the ring, they will realise Pacquiao is a once-in-a-generation type talent.
