Fraud "Chicken, I'm on vacation, I like hitting girls" May-never is the joke. How about showing presidence that Pac needs to take a blood test instead of basing your argument on an "old-mans rant" (Sr.); b/c Pac dispatched his ward (Hatton) in two rounds. Greatest trainer of all time my ass!!! Greatest braggart of all time you mean, 2nd only to his son.

It's amazing how Wapaktards keep bringing up the "OST's are year round testing" line when everyone (including Wapaktards) clearly saw Floyd and Shane taking the randoms tests AND passing them AND the NSAC having absolutely no problem with it whatsoever.
In other words: No Protests about OST's during and after the Floyd-Shane fight.
Yet only Pacman fans HOPE the OST's get rejected by the commissions so that Manny doesn't have to take it.
You guys reveal your true colors daily. It's fascinating to watch.Comment

But when Mosley fought May-never, he was the top 5 P4P. Now should Mosley fight Pac he's an old man? You HYPOCRISTES - Mosley was an old man when Fraud fought him to; just b/c he fought Fraud your hyping him up then saying something else when Mosley's fighting Pac...really? You don't think anyone can see your ploy?Comment

It isn't about age though the phraseology used is "waiting for Pacquiao to age"...the more apt phraseology should be:
• waiting for Pacquiao to slow down
What's the difference?
Mayweather's style is aggressive defense. Meaning even if he is up there with lots of mileage, age and then some - he can last because he is relatively unscathed. He is healthy and untouched (a big credit to his cerebral style as well as his physical style).
Pacquiao's style is gung-ho-aggressive-style that is unnatural. (Not suggestin drugs) But the regiments he has to go through, the tedious and rigorous training, the amount of calories and proteins he has to consume and simply, his physical style of full-throttle that needs to dish out piston-like combinations...would simply wear Pacquiao out very soon.
I can see him already in a decline fast. And as a Pacquiao fan, it is saddening to see it.
Sure he is a freak and an awesome physical specimen but his body is also breaking down. And with the financial successes, political responsibilities AND the crowns he has collected all these time...you can really hear him saying that he is satisfied.
The body and emotion now on the brink of saying "I will retire"...and sure enough he doesn't need to tell us.
Mayweather is older but albeit a well-honed and maintained machine of a fighter (physically) and waiting for Pacquiao to "age" has nothing to do with the literal age.Last edited by fabie; 12-07-2010, 12:59 PM.Comment

Yeah, he's waiting for Manny to age. By doing everything to make the fight 11 months ago.Comment

They considered Mosley a threat to Mayweather largely due to now knowing what Mosley had left. Mosley was given the benefit of the doubt. If you envisioned Mosley at his best, then yes he would be perceived as a threat. Prior to Margarito, he struggled against Mayorga and was inconsistent at best even prior to that, having trouble with a diminished version of Vargas in their first fight. We all knew how that Mayweather fight was going to play out. Mosley has always been troubled with movement, if you show him angles, he struggles...gasses and loses focus, unfortunately that's his history.
Here is how Dougie Fischer responded to a fan writing in, in regards to being critical of Pac.
"You claim that Pacquiao avoided certain fighters (Margarito after he beat Cotto and Mosley after he beat Margz) but I think you’re forgetting the dates of those fights and the weights that Manny fought at around those months.
Margarito fought Cotto in July of 2008. Mayweather was welterweight champ at the time. He was the guy who needed to call out the winner of that showdown of the Nos. 1 and 2 welterweight contenders, not Pacquiao, who had JUST stepped up from the 130-pound division to claim a lightweight belt by beating up David Diaz one month prior to Cotto-Margarito. (Go look it up on Boxrec.com if your memory needs more jogging.) Why would you expect a guy who just won a lightweight title to call out the winner of a high-profile welterweight bout?
Mosley destroyed Margarito in January of 2009, just ONE MONTH after Pacquiao shocked most of the boxing world by beating up on De La Hoya. Pacquiao jumped from 134½ pounds to weighing in at 142 pounds to fight De La Hoya in a welterweight bout. Why would you expect a guy who just had his first welterweight bout (and who barely weighed above the junior welterweight limit for it) to call out Mosley after the veteran knocked out Margarito? Nobody even viewed the De La Hoya fight as a legit welterweight bout because of faded star’s wilted “condition” as you pointed out.
The truth is, the jury was still out on whether Pacquiao could really hang at 147 pounds until his fight with Cotto. You can criticize Pacquiao for fighting Clottey but the Ghanaian was a top-5 contender at the time, and he’d never been decisively beaten until the Filipino hero smacked him around for 12 rounds.
You can definitely criticize him for fighting Margarito, but in the aftermath of the failed Mayweather negotiations, who would you have preferred him to fight? Margarito was undeserving but his size, controversy and Mexican heritage helped sell the event."Last edited by switchsouthpaw; 12-07-2010, 12:59 PM.Comment
