Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Still Thinks Mayweather is "Scared To Fight"

[flint]

hey vinny you name any fighter out there that pac can fight and i guarantee mayweather can whip their ass as well as pac

[flint]

if floyd accepts the 50-50 split which he should'nt because the numbers don't lie.but he he accepts but demands ramdom testing up to fight time i guaratee pac will fing another excuse. manny has destroyed this fight since day one. he knows that he can;t beat mayweather.

[ThePrince]

Floyd can stand toe to toe and beat manny to punch because he has a longer reach and throws striaghter punches all that wild **** Pacquiao throws will just be wasted punches Floyd is a diffrent type of fighter i can't sit and type all this up just trust me Floyd will beat his ass i promise you

and for the record Floyd beat Castillo...............twice

For the record, Castillo landed more punches at a higher percentage and controlled the pace of the fight. Everyone watching, in the arena, and all of the commentators knew that was a horse **** decision and one of the many questionable judging jobs in the past decade. Even Arum (who was Floyd's promotor then) promised Castillo an immediate rematch because he knew what happened that night was pure robbery.

I suggest you watch the fight again, the whole thing is on youtube. And Castillo was Manny's sparring partner, who outfought the great shoulder roll king himself.

Floyd has absolutely no answers for Manny and all of his handlers and his own father know this. They want absolutely no part of Manny, never have. The only people trying to make this fight happen are Manny's team, Top Rank, and Golden Boy. Floyd's people 'don't want to discuss boxing', 'are on vacation', 'are not in discussion/negotiations about any fights','are retired', 'don't want to fight southpaws', etc and so on...

Mosley was also 38, hadn't fought in a year and 1/2, and it took an earthquake to make the fight FINALLY happen... and Mosley still almost KO'ed Floyd in 2 rounds while trying to (******ly, shame on Brother Naazim) beat Floyd at his own game and outbox him in the center of the ring.

I'm thinking Pacquiao in his prime could do just a tad better, just a guess.

And Floyd Sr already made it clear that team Mayweather is terrified of Pacquiao's unorthodox ways and brutal KO power. No offense to the great Demarcus 'Chop Chop' Corley and the legendary Zab 'Super' Judah- they were able to hurt/knock down Money and in their primes they weren't good enough to carry Pacquiao's sparring partner's spit bucket.

Mayweather has no answers for Manny's assault, Floyd Sr knows this and so does everyone else on that side.

this post is funny to me and heres why. you dont see floyd using sparing partners that emulate pacs style while getting ready for shane did you? NO!!! but did you see pac using a sparing partner that was trained in the mayweather style while getting ready for the "dangerous, skin like a black buffalo" clottey? YES!!!!!!! the thing is freddie knows his fighter has a lot of fundamental flaws that makes him ripe for a counter puncher like JMM or the faster stronger version floyd jr. so they took extra time and used steve 2lbs to try to get pac an extra training session for floyd. but pacs lack of defense vs the most accurate puncher in the game will make a long fight for pac. pac is often off balance when he punches and does not have the ability to change his game plan in the middle of a fight. he just keeps comming at you. thats why he couldnt finish of marquez when he had him down 3 time in the first round. pac has a punchers chance. but i give him three rounds and after that floyd will make adjustments and destroy pac. and i say that not as a floyd fan but as a lover of boxing. i welcome counter thoughts. but dont come at me with the ridculous petty hate man crush stuff. i only want to hear from REAL fans of boxing with REAL counter points. GET AT ME!!!!!!

Castillo BEAT Mayweather and was robbed blind. People here act like Floyd is untouchable because he's been fighting the 35 years and older club and before that the likes of Hatton, Baldomir, etc. And Oscar's old, shot ass got a split decision.

I just want to hear a Floyd supporter give me a game plan for how Floyd would deal with everything Manny brings into the ring. I mean his legs are gone, he's not a young man. How the hell is he going to keep the Pinoy Tsunami off of him.

No 'hate', just an honest boxing question for discussion. I just don't see it.

Since you mentioned Hatton and Oscar, both of whom Pac fought, is it safe to say pac fought old shot fighters or were these quality wins by your standards?

So you dont see how Floyd's skill level, quickness, speed, defense, superior boxing skill and ring savvy will be enough for him to beat, the wild, winging punch throwing, undisciplined, off-balanced, roid'ed up, pinoy pinata?

I don't understand why some people are acting like this purse split has something to do with belts, or awards, other peoples opinions, or status.

It is only to do with who makes more money when they fight. Floyd wins that battle. Pacquiao could have all the belts and awards in the World, people are still not willing to spend as much money on him as they are Floyd.

[pbftxrs316]

Floyd is just TOO DAMN hesistant to put it all out on the line. He's making more demands on PAC than he's ever did with any boxer in his entire life. Something about this little Filipino scares FLOYD. PAC is making more effort to making the MEGA FIGHT now while FLOYD is contemplating.

more demands like how? last time i checked, manny is the one making 10 million dollar weight penalties, and floyd, not one to complain, immeditately accepted, pac asked for certain gloves, certain dates, floyd said yes, all floyd asked for was random druug tests for not only manny, but floyd also---and then floyd gave into the cutoff dates, and manny walked away---and floyd accepted 50/50 the first time, even though his ppv records ****s on manny's, and it's obvious floyd is not only the bigger draw, but the biggest star in boxing, period---not manny---floyd----it's not like floyd didn't say if his ppv sals with mosley beats manny's with clottey's, floyd won't give in to 50/50----he told uus this for months now---and his ppv buys doubled manny's---****ing doubled manny's---yet, manny's fans, team, manny himself, and these so called boxing experts and journalists love to blame floyd ofr everything, and floyd has been the only one right through all of this---he never said manny was on ped's, yet, he gets blamed for it---manny is making himself and everybody backing him up look like complete idiots and tools--and you're another example of one----good job kid----

I seen the fight and I didn't think Castillo won but thats just me I mean if you want to play this game I thought Marquez beat Pacquiao twice so.......

and also you keep saying Floyd has no answers for Pacquiao i think its a straight right hand i mean did you see Pacquiao face after the Clottey fight? How you think his face is gonna look when Floyd get done with him? Floyd is gonna bust him up the fight might get stopped on cuts

Flint, you are right. Pinata supporters forget Floyd said previous negotiations were off the table if he did better numbers in his fight with Shane, which he did, so he is the driver's seat for negotiations - now Pac the Pinata wants to revert to terms previously offered which AINT GONNA FLY! They are starting from scratch, Pac shoud really step up to random testing (stopping 14 days early, umm, err, well that aint random,hell he will know when the cutoff will take place and load up on roids for 13.5 days before the fight) to shut up all the nay sayers and disbelievers such as myself. I say they go 60/40 with 60 to the winner of the fight and call it a day. Pinata will have no where to run then, but will start squawking about the OST to further delay or totally derail the fight...AGAIN.

I'm not one of those that clings to a fighter's nuts like some 'fans'. I'm a true fan of the sport and I look at things objectively, even though I don't care personally for Mayweather's ****-talking or his lackluster (but extremely effective) fighting style.

I just don't see how he deals with A) the southpaw stance which has always caused him to be off balance B) The speed, power, aggression of Pac C) The random and untimeable/unforseeable angles he throws punches from.

And like Freddie Roach, Money's legs are gone, or at the least he's become a lot less mobile than he was in his lightweight days, so how the hell is he going to keep Pac off him? A jab? Pac would eat those like Eminem's and look to aggressively counter whenever he opened up to throw anything.

I have a feeling it would look a whole lot like the De La Hoya (Pac was the 2-1 underdog, odds were 9-1 that he'd win by KO/TKO) and Clottey fights. I think Floyd's camp has that same feeling, especially Sr.

look at the marquez fight and tell how great pac did vs a counter-puncher that has real boxing skills. as for speed and power, shane is stronger and faster than pac(thats why pac has shamlessly ducked him) and floyd shut him down like never before. floyd has faced every style known to boxing and as you know he is undefeated. i predict the same will be true after the pac fight. and by the way who is the betting fav for this fight? ill give you one guess, PBF!!!!!!!!
