Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Without The Tests, Pacquiao Beats Mayweather

[LeadUppercut]

Because he showed up and did his part. These guys are professionals and have been preparing themselves for years for fights. They know their bodies inside and out and its their Job to prepare themselves to be at their absolute best. Now if they don't, who's fault is it? That is why Pac gets full credit. Those guys chose to do what they did, and Pac shouldn't be punished because of their ******ity.

Exactly..... you control what you can, and you plan/train for the worst.

WTF were Oscar's people thinking, man what a dumbass move that was.

I do not believe that ANY fighter can detract from their own legacy once they are past their prime. They can enhance their legacy, sure..... but not detract from.

So I cannot give Manny too much credit legacy-wise for beating the **** out of the anorexic waif that looked like De La Hoya..... but it was a great performance by Manny.

Oscar's a legend..... but that fight was as funny as hell.

Pac tapped that ass..... real bad.

The only way floyd can win a fight against pac is if he makes pac so weak with the blood test. Other than that it will be a miracle if floyd could win against pac.

Pacs KO has drastically increased after moving up in weight. I can't remember the quote exactly, so I wont blindly throw numbers out there, but it has indeed increased.

In his fights previous to the Clottey fight, he KO'd or TKO'd every single one of his opponents. I personally didn't see that power surge coming, especially after he'd failed to KO JMM and and aging Marco Antonio Barrera in fights before the surge .

what do you mean drastically increase, lol. it's only a 3 percent increase since he started moving up in weight. the thing you should be saying is that he's K0 percentage shouldn't increase as he moves up in weight, but decrease. statistically most of the fighters who move up in weight don't have their KO percentages increased, it starts decreasing like oscar, bernard, mayweather, mosley thats a definite when he was a lightweight 32 wins and 30 knockouts and then he jump to welterweight and his K0 percentage drop 30 percent. and i will agree with everyone that Pacquiao's power carried over as he moved up in weight and is somewhat packing more power than before.

Manny Pacquiao is indeed a great and entertaining fighter but
he has no defense AND going up against someone as accurate
and fast as Floyd Mayweather Jr will get him beat up bottom line.
Floyd is almost impossible to hit and when he does, we already
see that he has a solid chin and can regain his composure
unusually fast and keep apllying pressure. Manny has been
hit by lesser accurate fighters. I'm basing my annalysis and
prediction on the fighting styles of both fighters. Offensive
pressure and power will not beat Manny as proven in his
last fights with bigger stronger guys but patience, defense
and accurate punching will. Having no defense is a no no
going up against a counter puncher.

If Manny can just walk right through Mayweather Im hiring Alex Ariza. I want his special blend so I can walk through a Klitschko or 2. I am Americas last hope.

last night I talked to my uncle on the phone for about 3 hours about NOTHING but boxing....he's about 54 yrs old now and have followed the sport since he was about 8 yrs old....he schools me on the history of the oldschool Philly fighters...in fact, he was in the building the night Boogaloo Watts gave the great Marvin Hagler his first lost....he was in the Garden on the night Joe beat Ali...a real boxing grey head ....anyway, he told me Shane's ONLY chance to win against Floyd would be in the first half of the fight....he told me to bet on Floyd but I went with Shane....last night he laughed at me and told me that Manny Pacquiao will BEAT Floyd....I laughed at him and told him he's crazy!!...scary thing is that unc hasn't got a fight wrong since Tyson-Douglass...(well thats what I'm hearin').....I'm goin' to Philly in a few weeks and I'll try to get him to drop some knowledge and upload it on to youtube....just wanted to share that, not sayin it means anything....I just found it interesting that somebody with so much boxing knowledge would pick Manny to beat Floyd!!

I quit betting on Pacquiao fights. I just dont comprehend him. I thought hed lose to the much bigger DLH, I thought hed beat Hatton by late TKO not a 2nd round concussion, I thought Cotto fight was 50/50 and I thought Cotto could hurt him apparently I was wrong again. I make quite a bit more than I lose on betting boxing, but this guy is something else. I think Mayweather beats him handily, but.
