Opinion: Floyd Knows He Will Be Brutally Knocked Out By Pacquiao

[shade darkar]

Hatton was undefeated and he was a title holder at 147 after beating collazo...why not put him there?? he had a belt at WW. Oh cuz floyd beat him i shouldnt put him there??

in 2006! floyd fought him when he was back at junior welterweight and no longer held a welterweight title. he didnt even defend the title.

Floyd has plan.....let Pacquiao fight all the AARP's then bust Pacquiao at the end.
Floyd strategy is simple....let Pacquiao exposed to the leathers.


Floyd advantage...he ain't scared.

so who's ducking the latest negotia..oh wait! there was no negotiation that took place!

it was just pac and arum calling out floyd for a bout and floyd and his team went mouth zipped.... now floyd's having a battle on his 'personal' issue

should we blame pac for floyd's personal issue now too?

His personal issues are just that, personal issues...the man is only human, we all get into some mess from time to time. It has nothing to do with pacman..

Just because we debate over Mayweather vs Manny, and we want to see the fight doesnt mean FLoyd is thinking about Manny. IMO FLoyd really doesnt care too much about fighting him now. Like i said in my last Post, floyd whole intention in coming out of retirement was to get that money fight with Manny. Manny ducked out or Bob pulled him out of that fight for whatever reason, and floyd fought the next best thing at that time which was Mosley. He got his win, and his payday and left again. Its not what the fans wanted and i do believe floyd tried to make it happen. If you been reading this articles lately about the fued between GBP and Top Rank that could be the reason Bob didnt make the fight happen. Instead he put Pac up against all his other fighters like COtto, Margarito, clottey etc. He even put cotto againts clottey, and foreman who are all top rank fighters. But people dont see that pattern, all the see is Floyd not fighting cotto, margarito, or pac and say, oh he scared....Man if you know whats going on and have a clue about boxing you'll see that bob doesnt want to lose to another promotion team. He rather keep the belts and the money in house..

But blame Floyd Mayweather....he's the black guy so he has to be guilty..

No.

I see a possibility that Pacquiao may beat Mayweather but there's no way it will be by brutal KO. Taking into consideration the fights where Pacquiao has KOd an opponent it was because of the styles. When Pacquiao's opponent isn't infront of him to trade, Pacquiao becomes frustrated. A less talented Cotto frustraded Pacquiao on round 8 and that is taking into consideration that Cotto is no where as good as Mayweather is fighting going back picking his shots. Against Marquez, Pacquiao thought twice before throwing a punch. We know that every fighter who fights Mayweather throws a lot less punches by a significant amount.

For Pacquiao to win, he wll have to get the ref to stop the fight. That's a difficult task because it's hard to catch Mayweather with more than two consecutive shots.

if dudes think Floyd doesn't see something in Manny that worries him....you must be crazy....and vice versa....Manny and his team sees something in Floyd that makes them wanna stay far away as possible....but they'll be quick to say they want the fight when a mic and camera is on....but deals get done without mics and cameras.....at the table, we can see that Top Rank changes its tone when noone can see or hear whats being said....Floyd and his peeps know there's a chance that he could be humiliated by Manny...oh yea....and Manny and his peeps know there's a chance Floyd could humiliate Manny.....thats why we don't have a fight yet.....BOTH sides are on some b!tch ****....naive fans attempt to justify this BS and in the process something so simple becomes so complicated.....suit and ties eat off the ******ity of clowns.....NEITHER dude wants to boogie....get that **** through yall head!!

ok nig... you said it

in 2006! floyd fought him when he was back at junior welterweight and no longer held a welterweight title. he didnt even defend the title.

So you saying because he didnt defend the title or because it happened in 2006, that fight should of never happened?? Hatton ko castillo with a body shot in the 4th round. the same guy that people say beat Mayweather. Hatton looked dead in the camera and said "I want floyd mayweather, my last 4 rounds had more excitment then Floyds whole career"!!...hatton had no problem making 147 and from the looks of it, he has no problem making 200 lbs either. Mayweather vs Hatton was a fight the people wanted and it was a good fight at that. The better man won that night, so just give him his credit....stop making excuses on why floyd shouldnt have fought him, when hattonw was the guy to beat, he was a title holder at 147 and the fight did over a mill...he brought his whole band and country with him...if they thought he was gonna lose they'd a never showed up....give him credit at less once man...will it hurt to do that??

And hatton was fighting for his belt, so you couldnt expect floyd to go to 140 to face him for the WW title..

[PrinceCharlez]

ok nig... you said it

thats what it all boils down to, im i wrong?? No one remembers the first negotiations when floyd tried to make the fight. No one remembers manny turning down a drug test. No one in the sport, commentators, commissions, governing body have the slightest concern with that. No one is saying anything about Top Rank fighting in house and not putting their best against others best and that goes for GBP. Nobody is saying Floyd just beat Mosley Bob, make the Mayweather fight happen (we all know that manny vs molsey fight was signed before manny could get out the ring with margarito)....Only thing people are saying is...

Floyd scared blah blah blah and man just fought 7 months ago.

Manny fought Clottey in march and Margarito in Nov...thats a 9 month gap...did u hear anything about that big gap???nothing at all


Floyd came back from a two layoff and dominated the number 3 and number 2 P4P fighters in the world only losing .5 rounds out of 24...after winning 23.5/24 he was rated p4p fighter back in july...and only think people say is...well he ducked second negotiations??? thats crazy..it has to be his color..

[welcometosaigon]

Juan Manuel Marquez, Ricky Hatton, Oscar de la Hoya (all former opponents of both pac and may), Sergio Martinez, etc. all pick Floyd to beat Pacquiao.

Their boxing knowledge > pacquiao fanboys'.

And this article is wrong in its opening sentences. Floyd DID negotiate with Pacquiao, and gave into every demand but blood testing.
