Ducktales

Floyd's marketability is tied directly to his '0'. Once he loses that his popularity will diminish quickly. He totally understands this, and that's why he's protecting it by ducking Pac. He'd rather guest again on Ducking... I mean, Dancing with the Stars than face Pac.

Floyd knows deep inside that his defensive boring-ass, shoulder-rolling, counter-potshotting style is no match for Pac's blazing handspeed, in-and-out/lateral movements, footwork and 5, 6 punch combinations. If I were him I'd go to jail willingly, too, just to avoid Manny. It's much safer there than to be beaten up and end in the hospital for post-fight checks.

[Emphasis]

The idiotic part of all the FLoyd d*ck riders is the fact that they don't realize Floyd's power comes from accuracy, he doesn't have the upper-body and arm strength to punch as hard straight on as Cotto or Margarito; his hands may not even be able to handle the volume of punches to necessary to take down Pac.

Fact is every fkn Floyd~nuthugging dip**** doesn't understand that Floyd has always won on points and never is out there to "pound" an opponent. A 'bout at WW is the weight class naturally walks around in; he doesn't have to dehydrate and go on a diet. What will Floyd do against Manny? Counter? Okay sure he can do that but he doesn't take risks and he's not going to tear him down with volume punching.

Floyd never took a fight with Margarito years ago and after the fight last night I can see why; if Margarito applied the same pressure to Floyd, he might've had a chance to KO him. Floyd won't fight Manny and will always toy around with mind games and what not. He can cough up whatever lame excuse he wants but at the end of the day they are excuses. Floyd Sr. is the only one bringing up the issue of drugs and half of the floyd nuthuggers are showing their ******ity just because they are listening to what a crackhead says. In a bout with Pac, Floyd doesn't have any answers to respond to Pac's offense and if vegas was sure about Floyd winning, they'd have put better odds on the matchup between the two but they didn't because the odd makers even know Floyd is the underdog in the bout.

Manny excels against face-forward fighters. That's a fact.

The only fighting style that has gave Manny problems is Boxers. That is also a fact.

With that being said, I look forward to the Mayweather - Pac fight because of what both fighters bring to the table.

Btw, since when was Boxing a competition of KO's?

I see Chavez Jr fighting Pacquiao as more likely than Mayweather-Pacquiao

very true. its called matchmaking.

but lets see floyds opponents:
• baldomir = slow plodding fighter.
• oscar = faded. not exactly blazing fast. floyd almost lost
• ricky = not fast either, & VERY hittable + glass chin (GBP sacrifice)
• jmm = a freakin fattened LW. SUPER SLOW & ineffective (GBP sacrifice)
• shane = fast, but twitchy & WOULDNT throw punches (GBP sacrifice)

i see some crafty matchmaking as well. hmmmmmm.

although boxing isnt a KO competition, a KO is the ultimate goal...
if the goal was to potshot and win on points, then it would be the amateurs.

for all the floyd fanboys, you guys mustve LOVED guillermo rigondeux's performance.

It's funny lastnite Team Pac wanted Cheato to take a blood test right before the fight but their unwilling to then you get dumbasses coming on here blaming the fight not happening on PBF. Did you people hear Manny's answer when asked about PBF last night? His answer was "I'm not afraid to fight Floyd" but nobody asked him if he was afraid so where did that come from? When Manny submits to testing he will get stopped by PBF guaranteed.

Urine test. Get your facts straight.

I think Catchweight is total manipulation in boxing weight divisions. Choosing an opponent and demanding a catchweight limit is absolutely questionable. Manny's guerilla fighting style was perfect for Margarito advancing style...if Mayweather box like what Manny did, he'll be criticized. I dont see any differences on Margarito, Cotto, Clottey and Hatton's style they all advance forward fighters and blocked punches as defense, i think its time to see Manny fighting a different style of boxers. Berto would be nice at 154 lbs. w/o catchweight, Bradley at 147 lbs. would do, and offcourse Mayweather at any weight.

Here's some more enjoy =)

Quick reply to this message

Catch weight is done to level the playing field. To make it even and fair. If you hate on pac hate on these great fighters as well. =P

Manny is now without a doubt one of the greatest boxers to grace the ring and my personal favourite by a long long way.
There is no fighter i dislike more than Mayweather(s).

However, i personally think that Floyds avoidance of Manny is due to his lack of confidence in beating him and thats where i think he is wrong.

However much i dislike him i believe he has the perfect setup to completely dismantle Manny.
Pacquiao's biggest test to date has been Marquez because of his superior boxing skills and Floyd made a mockery of those skills against JMM.

At 147 or above, it hurts to say, Floyd wins unless Pac can land a massive bomb.

Everytime right after a Pac fight we all talk about Pac-May like it's about to happen and then it doesn't. First time it was Pac fault, Second time May's so they 1-1 in that category of preventing the fight. Now let's see what happens my opinion it doesn't PBF made up the Testing issue the first time to wiggle out the second time he had no excuse except he was on vacation, but he found time to fight his Baby Mama. Pac's next fight will be P-Will, Shane, Chavez jr., or Cotto and I'm leaning on Shane. I'm not wasting my time talking about Pac-May hell we want even see Mayweather for a month he will wait until the talk of Manny's big win blows over to show his face like he always does watch and see or start running his mouth until Manny signs a contract for his next fight pay attention to May he does the same routing everytime.
