Who fought more risky fights pac or floyd?

[Junito-Rulez]

I''d say it's even but i agree with this:

Corrales and Castillo were risky fights taken by Floyd. Judah was a risky fight when it was agreed to before he fought Baldmoir due to floyds problems with southpaws. Hatton and JMM were above their best weight classes. DLH and Mosley were both past prime.

MAB 1 and JMM 1 were risky fights taken by Pac. Hattons style suits manny. Cotto and DLH had weight issues. Morales was past prime.

Theyve both taken risky fights but I would give a slight edge to Floyd as hes fought more world champions.

he dont care bout fighting the best out there, list of fighters mayweather has ducked in his career

cotto
margarito
pacquiao
p williams
vernon forrest
winky
clottey
vargas
mayorga
trinidad

mayweather is bout 3 years OLDER than Pacquiao but has bout 10 less fights?
he ducks fighters plain and simple

Margs, Williams, Forrest, Winky, Vargas, Mayorga and Trinidad were all fighting at 147-154 while Floyd was still fighting at 130-140. Get a clue you dip****.

And Manny has been a professional for much longer than Floyd and fought a bunch of no names in the Philippines.

[viperz007]

Yeah I guess your right, Floyd does make it look easy.
Its like the way everyone questioned Roy Jones resume because he made it look easy.

JMM was a "risky" fight for Pac but it was a cakewalk for Floyd.
Both KOed Hatton but Floyd did it stepping backwards while Pac put his whole body in it.
Both beat Hoya but Oscar was not weight drained when he fought
Floyd.
Now imagine if Floyd would have fought Clottey in his last fight...The fans would have ate him alive for picking or "cherry picking" someone of Clotteys "stature".

look at how floyd reacts when theres a risky fighter in front of him

"oh he must be on roid" LOL and went on vacation

[CarlosG815]

you are so stupid

MOSLEY HAD A FIGHT ARRANGED WITH BERTO when manny agreed to fight clottey

before that he chose to FIGHT THE MAN WHO BEAT MOSLEY IN COTTO instead.

Floyd ducked pac, floyd ducked cotto, floyd ducked margo and so on

Manny did not turn not mosley to fight clottey, AFTER THE COTTO FIGHT LOOK AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE, roach and arum said why mosley chose to fight berto in jan instead of waiting until after pac vs cotto

If Mosley had a fight with Berto, he would not have approached Team Pacquiao for a fight. And even if he did have a fight schedules, when he approached Team Pac, do you think Mosley wouldn't back out of the fight with Berto and fight Pacquiao?

And beating one fighter who beat another fighter doesn't mean that is the tougher fight. Shane is a tougher fight for Pacquiao and he knows it, which is why he won't fight him. So by your idiotic ******* logic, Marg's destroyed Cotto, who was destroyed by Pac, but who beat Mosley, who was destroyed by Floyd, so Floyd would destroy Mosley, and Margarito, so why is Pac fighting a guy who was destroyed by Mosley yet beat Cotto? That logic doesn't even make sense. Everybody including Team Pac knows that Cotto and Marg's aren't risky for Pac, even though Cotto can beat Mosley, he can't beat Pacquiao. He isn't fast enough, he doesn't throw enough punches, and his defense is questionable. His footwork is stellar but that isn't enough to beat a high volume puncher like Pacquiao and that's the difference.

Your "this guy beat this guy so he must be able to beat this guy who lost to that guy" logic is ******ed and is day 1 **** that you should just know. But being a *******, it's too much for you to comprehend, which is understandable.

okay here
first most people say clottey was the one who won the cotto-clottey fight
and clottey is the toughest welterweight at that time and havent been knockout..
by knocking out the toughest WW they can add it up to mannys legacy
which they fail to do..
fighting clottey even people say pac will win is a risky fighter
clottey is big and can knocked out pacs arse
and who else can manny fight at that time except for clottey?

mosley was on contract with berto when negotiation fell through
what u want manny do break their contrat and fight mosley?

by the way floyd is proposing a rule that is new to boxing, and for manny pride who is floyd to make one and command him wat to do?

its like me offering u to eat my **** and be my b!tch b4 fighting me, will u do that?

and manny wont wait for floyd to grow balls to fight him he wants to stay active till he retires
this time around manny is doing what floyds ask just for the boxing fans


give props to manny for trying to meet floyd in the middle by agreeing to 14day and 50/50 split this time around and tried to contact floyd for negotiation...

wheres floyd now?
does his offer has an expiration date? LOL
first of all who call out manny to step into the plate and theyll have a fight?
if floyd want to fight manny he'll try to negotiate with them instead his ignoring them and going on vacation,
what does that mean to u?

So you can legitimately and honestly say that you feel Clottey was a risk for Pacquiao and that Clottey had a decent shot at winning that fight? Really?

Because real boxing fans knew it was a joke which is why it was a flop and people left halfway through the fight. That fight was a sham and a travesty and did nothing to increase Pac's legacy but instead made him look like a fool.

That fact that you just typed up with you did up there says that you're nothing but a Bob Arum drone because you just spit out the same crap he did when promoting that joke of a fight.

[viperz007]

who of floyds opponent had a 50/50 chance of beating him in the past 10 years?

[Tyson.]

lmfao cotto beat mosley and was more of a risk than mosley

fighting hatton at 147 IS NOT A RISK

FIGHTING MARQUEZ AT 144 IS NOT A RISK

fighting hatton at 140 IS A RISK

fighting the man who beat shane mosley in cotto IS A RISK

damn *****s

You say Cotto(2009) is more of a risk than Mosley(2009) but thats not true. The 2007 version of Cotto beat Mosley in a close 7-5 fight. Since then Cotto has declined and become a worse fighter than Mosley was in 2009.

Cotto had lost to Marg and many people thought he lost to Clottey. Mosley was coming of a KO win over Margarito.

Mosley would have been a tougher fight than Cotto.

[CarlosG815]

who of floyds opponent had a 50/50 chance of beating him in the past 10 years?

Chico Corrales, Castillo, Oscar De La Hoya had a better than 50% chance, Zab Judah, Juan Manuel Marquez, Carlos Baldomir, and Shane Mosley had at LEAST a 50% chance if not more.

Who had a chance at beating Pacquiao? JMM? He did beat him. Twice.

Oscar? No chance, not even a punchers.
Hatton? That guy was damaged good and was never that good to begin with. Floyd pretty much ended his career.

Just face it, Pacquiao doesn't really take a lot of risks and there is a Bob Arum political reason behind it. You don't put the golden goose in harm's way, it doesn't make sense. There is a lot more money to be made off of Manny and until Arum is content, we will not see Pac take any risks, and that's a shame because we'll never know how good he is as long as he continues to fight the likes of Cotto's, Clottey's, and Margarito's, and not to mention he will not fight any top contenders at the weight class limit.

It's all just phony and extremely disappointing.

I'm not hating on Pac personally because I believe he is a warrior and if he had his way he'd be taking these big fights and fighting at the weight limit's set by the commission.

Pac isn't afraid of anybody and neither is Floyd.

It's everybody else around them.

Mosley would have been a tougher fight than Cotto.

that was 18 months ago!

the mosley floyd fought was coming off a near 2 year lay off! cotto was at his best physical condition bud

[Franco2012]

I mean you have to go with Floyd.

He just beat 40 years granpa Mosley who just came out of retirement!
