Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Dictates The Terms, Not Pacquiao

[snake]

Mayweather can dictate nothing, he lucked into the Shane fight because of an earthquake. Everyone is emotional after his win against Mosley, but it does not change the dynamics of business. Floyd depends on his opponent's big name to do business. Pac does not as he proved in the Clottey fight which did massive business.

Mayweather does not have that killer instinct for some reason...all Floyd had to do was breath on Mosley at times and he would have fallen over. Instead he let it go to a decision on purpose, just like he did against Marquez.

Shane let Mayweather off the hook in the first two rounds, Pac would not do that.

Pacquiao can get 40%. And three day cutoff. Take it or leave it.

If you don't like it, go fight another Top Rank bum.

Floyd looked great in the last 8 rounds last night. Mosley, time to hang it up and time to plan your HOF dinner. (you'll be missed). Pac is peaking right now and if this campaign run doesn't take anything physically out of him and the election results dont mess with him mentally either way. Then you guys, the intelligent boxing fans that put time into studying styles, movement and mental strength should agree that PAC vs may weather should a lot like the 2 nd round of last nights fight. Pac's style does leave some mistakes however, he's a little to much for Floyd right now. I'm a huge fan of both and I always try to look at it from both sides. Just watched last nights fight for the third time and I have to stick with my guns on this one and say packman wins the big one if it happened which I see it happening late 2010, early '11.

After May 1st, WE (EVEN BEFORE) all know who the MEGA
draw in the sport of boxing is and it is not Manny Pacquiao
so Pac fans, don't lie to yourself. Floyd is the real P4P#1.
I'm surprised that Manny don't even want to prove that he
is the better fighter? Over blood testing? Either he is
hiding something or he is scared.

manny ducking quacquiao is not worthy of being in the ring with the real p4p king money mayweather. floyd will hurt that boy.it will be a waste of time and money.easy work for mayweather. to all you haters like he said THERE IS NO BLUE PRINT TO DEFEAT FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

If Manny Pacquiao retires without fighting Floyd because of those
lame excuse(s) he has been spurting out to the press then his
legacy will be tarnished. I'm not just saying that to discredit him
but the facts are right there. Remember! Pac was the one who
picked Mosley to beat Floyd (Out of Hope). As the days and months
go by, the pressure is going to get him more and more and he is
going to fold, I'm sure of it. Floyd came back and after two fights
took over the sport of boxing again. I think as Manny fans or fans
of the sport in general, that WE should be encouraging Manny to
take the tests, not telling him not to because forreal, it sounds
like Pac fans don't want the fight to happen. I am real curious
to hear what Roach has to say about Floyd's win and Manny
possibly fighting Floyd. There is no doubt in my mind that Manny
is either hiding something or plain don't want to fight Floyd
Mayweather Jr. Not because I am a hater but the evidence is
right there in black and white. You would think Manny would
be hyped up after seeing Floyd dominate Mosley and want to
make the fight to prove that he is better but instead is copping
out EARLY. Manny is a fraud.

Manny Pacquiao DOES NOT want to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.

De La Hoya needs to stay out of this.

hes floyds promoter.... dumbass

[flint]

ducking quacquiao will never get in the ring with the greatest boxer in the last 14yrs. pac is already crying in the other article that taking random blood testing will be to his disadvantage because he's smaller.a complete ***** move on pacs part.he can;t beat mayweather without the testing.COWARD!!

[solly6]

De la hoya is right..no need to get angry lol

He's not right. Mayweather doesn't dictate ****. Beating a washed up 39yr old who was 16 months inactive does not make you king of the world. I was impressed with Floyd's performance but not as much as I was dissapointed with Mosley's who gassed out after the 2nd rd. His conditioning was awful for that fight and there is no doubt Pac would have knocked Mosley out. I DON'T THINK PAC IS GOING TO AGREE TO WEAR 10OZ PILLOW GRANTS LIKE MOSLEY DID EITHER. WATCHING WW'S USE GLOVES THAT BIG IS A ****ING EMBARRASSMENT TO THE SPORT. PAC SHOULD AGREE TO BLOOD TESTS, FLOYD SHOULD AGREE TO 8OZ REYES AND THE MONEY SHOULD BE A 50/50 SPLIT OTHERWISE THIS FIGHT AIN'T HAPPENING.
