Comments Thread For: Bradley: Why is Mayweather Scared? Easy Win on Manny

[GRUSTLER]

Sure thing chief, let me take a crack at it.

"I don't like my son to fight southpaws" -Mayweather Sr

^That's pretty much the sentiment of most boxing coaches/trainers/etc. Southpaws make things extremely awkward for orthodox fighters because everything is reversed- throws your timing off, along with your balance. You saw how out of rhythm Floyd looked against a southpaw with speed early in the Judah fight:



He was off balance (including getting knocked down), was getting caught with straight lefts and counters (Pac's specialty). But as in all his fights, Zab lost his focus and became frustrated and gassed, started fighting very ******ly. But the same wouldn't happen with Pacquiao who is extremely well conditioned and relentless, not to mention a much better fighter than Zab could ever hope to be.

Doesn't matter because Zab got his @ss kicked in that fight so it
is a bad example. Look how many excuses you made up for Zab?
Judah got discouraged because he got neutralized and beat up to
the point he had to result to hitting below the belt to get out of
being KO'd and if anyone is debating that, then I have nothing
else to say because it would be obsurd to deny those facts.

Flint, Mayweather does not agree with you. Thats why he is out on vacation beating women instead of in the ring with Pac. If Mayweather doesn't get a good lawyer, all roads will lead to his jail cell.

Mayweather was planning on fighting Christy Martin till he quickly realized that his joy comes from beating women who don't box for a living.

No blueprint to fight Mayweather? That is lame. Every fighter can be beaten and when it happens that still does not mean there is a blueprint. But Mayweather wants to keep his zero so he chose to become a sociopath.

I wasn't making any excuses for Zab, but you can't deny that his fights always go this way- he comes out looking sharp and in top form then he starts to slow in the mid rounds, then gets frustrated, and beat up. Happened against Baldomir, Floyd, Clottey, Cotto, and even Matthysse recently. Not that it matters since I wasn't comparing Zab to anyone or trying to excuse his usual performance, just saying (which is undeniable) he had Floyd off balance and looking terrible early, even knocking him down from a counter right hook. This was due to his southpaw stance and speed... back in '06.

How about you address the second half of my post.

Did anyone forget that Pacquiao was the one that walked
away from the table when they had Floyd right where they
supposedly wanted him? To this day, there is still no concrete
evidence that Pac will accept random blood tests up until the
fight. Last thing Pac said about it to Kahn was that he was
not mentally ready to deal with giving his blood up. I think it
is immensely funny how Pac fans make up this Floyd is scared
of Manny campaign when Pac is the one scared to give up
blood to make the biggest fight of his career happen. It's
all a joke. Bradley is just trying to bait Mayweather and bring
attention to himself from team Pac by saying his is light work
but I do agree that Floyd counter punches and bully's Manny
around the ring until Roach stops the fight. Now that Floyd
ain't talking Manny got something to say? Last time I checked,
Manny is the same guy that filed lawsuits against the people
that was negotiating trying to break bread with him. What part
of the game is that? the smart thing for Pac to do would have
been to laugh it off and accept the tests, prove that he was
clean and then try to be the first person to beat Floyd and make
a **** load of money while doing it . Which would have been worth
giving up a minimal amount of blood.

Here we go again. Using Khan's interview as loophole. Is Khan the official Pac's spokesperson? It is like saying that Jeff Mayweather too is Floyd's spokesperson.

Which one is the latest, Khan's chat with Pac or this one on Nov 12 2010?

Pacquiao: [Pauses] Um, no. I feel like I don’t need Mayweather to make my career. I fought the best and anyone willing to face me. I want it, and feel the fans deserve the Mayweather fight. I want to prove to everyone that it wasn’t me who didn’t want the fight. That’s why I made the concession to take anything [blood tests] he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What else can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on

I mean, at the end of the day. I just don't believe Manny has the
style to beat Floyd. Floyd has defense and counter punching abilities
that far exceed any other fighter that is lacing them up. Pac gets
hit up and Floyd don't. Clottey puffed up Pac's face and he wasn't
even fighting. Mosley hit Floyd with his best shot twice, flush on
his chin and Floyd still managed to walk down Mosley towards the
end of the round. Pac is fast but he has next to no defense and
as we all witness from the Marquez fights, Pac gets touched up
by counter punching and as good as Floyd is in his defensive mode,
he is incredibly accurate offensively as well. There is a reason
why Pac hasn't fought someone like Marquez since 2008. Come
forward, defenseless fighters who not next to enough speed to
compete with Pac will always get beat because of Manny's speed.
Once you throw in some patience and technical skill, then Manny
gets schooled in my opinion.

I didn't say it, Kahn did. When they were all driving together in
the Philippines.

[flint]

mayweather is going to keep his zero anyway because none of your so called champions can match his skill. including the cherry picking pacquiao.

[ReUterZ]

I didn't say it, Kahn did. When they were all driving together in
the Philippines.

And you believe Khan officially?

And you did not answer my q which one is the latest?

The latest statement is the real deal so please answer.
