It's pretty clear why mayweather ducked pacquiao

[Phil Ivey]

Mosley is the hardest puncher at 147, and the first to shatter Margarito's iron chin. That first hard shot landed flush on his chin and the second near his temple area. Even though he was rocked Mayweather instead of being afraid of Mosley's power continued to be the aggressor. He was rocked, so what? Whenever someone lands on Mayweather, the crowd goes crazy - it just shows how rarely he gets hit real solidly, but when he did receive two solid shots, he turned into a 'dragon' in the words of Nazeem. Pacquiao is not going to land those big one shot punches on Mayweather because that's not his style unlike Mosley. So when he throws those combinations, it won't be nearly has hard as Mosley's power and I highly doubt it will connect very often. Mayweather doesn't have an iron chin, but its not weak either.

perfectly said. im just sick of how crazy many of the posters are man. its sickening

In deffense of some of the good posters around here. Like me i have boxers that i love most than the others, but i am also a big fan of floyd and i appreciate his tremendous skills as a boxer, but what i dont like is his choices of opponents when he moved up to welteweight. Yes a lot of the posters in here were a bit dissapointed when floyd keeps on avoiding challenges from great to elite opponents, even from opponents that he can beat easily. A lot of the posters were only saying that floyd was ducking mosley because shane was calling out flod for the last 2years now, and when the fight was finally made majority picked floyd to win and shane by a long shot.. Clearly as a boxing fan, we just want floyd to fight and push himself more, fight the fight that is close to impossible to win, make himself even greater.. Just like duran when he fought leonard, leonard when he fought hagler, ali when he fought foreman, fighters that fight big challenges.. And i hate *****s that goes along with floyd fighting these sissy fights to protect floyds zero losses.. You cant gain respect from that..

I love how Mayweather is "Ducking" everyone until he signs to fight that person then Mayweather "Cherrypicked"...I still havent forgot the hype surrounding Hatton and how relentless he was and how Mayweather would never fight him blah blah blah.

Then Mosley was a real WW and Mayweather wouldnt fight him, As soon as the fight was signed they all suddenly remember how old Mosley was, If Mayweather taking two big right hand in one round from a big WW isnt an indication that he can take a shot then i dont know what else to say.

Co-signed, took the words right out of my mouth.

To be frank i dont give a **** what some of this haters think anymore, The guy has proven himself over and over again in the RING! I might not agree with some of the things he says or does outside of the RING but inside of it NO one come close to him, I really cant wait for the Pacquiao fight because that would make him prove himself all over again..Motivation.

He has haters for a reason.People give him hate because he's a big mouth who doesnt back up his talk.He claims greatness and yet has spent the last seven years cherry picking his way around divisions.




he's a joke and so are his groupie fans.

the mosley fight exposed him as having a weak chin.I keep watching the second round over and over and Im still shocked that mosley damn near nearly knocked him out with such an ordinary right hand.there were always su****ions about mayweathers chin and the mosley fight sealed it: his chin is weak.

mosley was too old to capitalize on mayweather doing the silly dance.just look at how weak and feeble his follow up is.

pacs not the one shot knockout artist some have said he is but he hits hard and is an excellent finisher.
I dont believe he ever truly wanted the fight to begin with but mosley nearly knocking him out pretty much ended any chance of fight between the two ever occuring.

LOL Mosley has way more power than manny you nutthugger.
Manny is smaller than SSM, doesn't have the speed or technical ability SSM has. Totally different fight because Manny has different tools and strengths. That's why triangle theories are crap. So STFU and go watch a couple more fights.

are you having a laugh? mosley has got ferocious power in his right hand. i thought floyd did well to take them. I was more surprised that he got hit!

[DiLLiNGER]

The TRUTH is that mayweathers fight with mosley means more than the last 2 or 3 fights pacquiao has had.

First of all we know freddy roach avoided shane by all costs..he knew shane would pacquiaos ass.And roach admited that in an interview.

Also before the fight lots of pacquiao fans said they would leave the forum if floyd signes the fight against mosley..when he did and when he beat him they said shane was an old man..ok fair enough.

Now pacquiao is fighting the left overs from shane true or not???

Clottey fight? Hmm that was no fight..that was weak..where one guy didn't throw anything.

The cotto fight? Well cotto still had problems from the beating he recieved from mr brick man..and don't forget cotto had no plan B that night..santiago is a ******.

And now he's fighting margarito..common man..real boxing fans just can't appreciate this..Arum is pullin you all by the nose .

thats ******. how can you say they avoided mosley where they choose to pick the guy who beat mosley. and their 2nd option was mosley in case cotto negotioation fails. plus during the 1st pac/gay negotiation team pac are waiting for the winner of mosley/berto in case pac/gay fails negotiation.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

****ing ****** TS if he had a weak chin those shots would have KTFO him lol!!!!!! No lie Pac would struggle to stand up to those 2 shots cause Mosley is probably the biggest puncher at 147.

What has become pretty clear is that Uncle Bob strategy worked out perfectly. They call the Champ when He was out of Town, then got an HBO clown to speak "for him", made negotiations on their own and wanted to fight Mayweather with advantages, which of course didn't fly. Still, they got he mission of making Mayweather look like He is ducking Pacman. Brake news guys, Pacman is not scary OK. He is smaller and lack the KO power and skill to scare an seasoned and skillful boxer like Mayweather.
I think after all the smoke is gone that Arum and Pacman are happy not to be facing Mayweather this year and the best part is that this time He is the one who can claim ducking. No one is afraid of Pacman! as a matter of a fact, fighting Pacman is, as they call the Sweepstakes of Boxing and Pacman is not the "most avoided fighter".
Ask any welterweight if they would like to challenge him and hear the same anwer from all: Hell Yeah!
