Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant on The State of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

[-The Glove-]

Everybody hating on Mayweather becaus he's seemingly ducking Pac but truth be told, he'd probably be the favorite imho. He'd have a reach advantage, a height advantage, and size advantage. You add that to the guy's superior technical skills and theres no doubt in my mind he'd beat Pac. The only thing that might affect him is the long layoff. I'm not a May nuthugger by the way, and I respect both fighters skills equally but you gotta call it like it is.

I hear ya bruh. I'm tired of all the hate from both sides. I'm a Pac fan. Went to Dallas for his fight VS Clottey. IMO, I have it a very close fight with the edge to Mayweather at 55-45. It's too close to call with the intangibles for me though.

I doubt this fight ever happens and looking at the chain of events....I doubt Arum everhad any REAL intention of ever delivering on a promise of Mayweather vs Pac. Similar to the David Haye and Klits brother situation.....I think Mayweathers name was just floated around for extra promotion.

As I woke up this Monday morning I still had the excellent Super Bowl XLV game in my mind between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The matchup was a captivating one, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers holding off the Steelers 31-25, and an interesting sidenote to the festivities was highlighted when it was revealed that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and flamboyant Floyd Mayweather had actually been enjoying the game together as they were guests of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

I garruntee if Pacquiao gets by Mosley in dominating fashion (and I assure you he will), he would be favored to beat Mayweather if they were to fight sometime in the next year or so. Manny will knock Floyd out in the fight, Floyd's scared

I see floyd dominating Pac more so than I see Pac knocking him out.

Actions speak louder than words.......the TALK has always been Manny vs Floyd....but the ACTIONS of Manny,Floyd,Freddy and especially BOB show otherwise

There's really no point in defending one and blaming the other here. As another poster I remember saying, this is boxing, everyone lies, everyone makes excuses, this is not US Open. Until both parties are seen really trying to make this fight happen, let's just leave it at that.

And fans, if you don't care enough to see your idol beat his opponent, there's no point in blaming his opponent. Blame your idol for once, whoever it is. Otherwise, just keep quiet.

Never. I will side with my idol till the end.

No excuse for picking Shane over a JMM rematch.

Totally agree. His fans are too ignorant to believe it. Fact is, Floyd is scared of Manny.
