Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: I Won't End Up Like Roy Jones Jr.

[jrosales13]

I really don't know what Pac haters are thinking. Berto can't even call out Pac in a consistent manner. He barely mentions his name. Just shows that he's not ready for Pac. In addition, he's known to have ducked Mosley and got lucky to have the earthquake excuse. He STILL doesn't have any intention of fighting Mosley just to clear his name.

About Marquez. Who would imagine Marquez having any chances of beating Mosley?

So if you're a hater, and wants to see chances of seeing Pac fall, Mosley is the man.

I don't mind Berto, but a Marquez trilogy at 140 would be an extremely entertaining fight for me.

Yes a man who only has won 1 fight in the last 3 years at WW is the man.

TRUE BOXING FANS wouldn't shit on everything Pacquiao does and ignore the work he has put in. Only true haters would say he's not great. The man is arguably the greatest active fighter right now. So if he's not that great than no active fighter is...Including Floyd, Hopkins, and Roy.

a young guy beating washed up old farts isnt " putting great work in" and it isnt " the greatest fighter of this generation " either, hopkins is an old fart who beats young in their prime champions , pac is an overhyped steroid user who does the exact opposite pac and a challenge is like oil and water it dont mix, he wants none of that. anytime a dangerous guy that poses great risk to pac comes along what does pac do??? avoid the fights, provide ridiculous excuses refuse drug tests how pac sells this much is beyond me, ive never seen another ppv star deliver soo little for 60$ even delahoya faced top notch comp in his time something pac apparantley has no interest in, and here we are yet another garbage circus in mosley,.all pac wants is little risk REAL BOXING FANS DONT BUY IT AND WE DONT!

A smart move. Retiring out on top is the best way to bow out.

[Die Antwoord]

Manny's right, he'll never be RJJ...Roy wasnt a catchweight king, when he moved up to with the HW title, he didnt want a catchweight. Manny doesnt have the guts to be RJJ. That and roys a better rapper than manny is a singer.

With guys like you it is.
And the fact your black ass recently felt in love with sexy sergio doesn't change the fact that you are a biased poster, it is my opinion.

As we can see on this board or youtube or in the game, the majority of Pac's haters are some bitter afro americans.

Adolf Hopkins said it himself:
"Maybe I'm biased because I'm black, but I think that this is what is said at people's homes and around the dinner table among black boxing fans and fighters,".

PATHETIC!!!YEAH

Ha ha ha! Recently fell in love with Sergio? I've been a Sergio Martinez fan. Why shouldn't I like him? dude is a great fighter, who fights his heart out, who had a great year that even topped the "great" Manny Pacquiao while both was active. Your race theory is BS because Martinez is not Afro American. Martinez tops Floyd on my list but I bet you could NEVER put anyone over Manny Pacquiao. I can do that because I am a fan of the sport not just one fighter. By the way race guy. By your logic, wouldn't I be upset that Martinez KO'd Paul Williams because Paul Williams is an "Afro American".

I beg to differ there. Roy Jones Jr did the same thing as Pacquiao. When Roy Jones fought James Toney, Toney had already said that he was struggling to make the 168 lbs weight limit and wanted to fight at 175 lbs. Well, Roy made him fight at 168 lbs so Toney was completely weight drained. Same thing everyone who hates Pacquiao says about the Cotto fight, although that was only two pounds less than 147 lbs and Cotto fought along time at 140 lbs.
Roy Jones Jr moved up to heavyweight and cherry picked John Ruiz, the worst heavyweight belt holder in history. Same thing everyone who hates Pacquiao says about his 'junior welterweight' title fight against Margarito, that is was a cherry picked title. When Roy was in his prime at 175 lbs, he fought alot of guys but didn't fight some important ones, like Sven Ottke, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins and Joe Calzaghe off the top of my head. All them called Roy out and he never fought them...

At welterweight, Pacquiao has fought Cotto, Clottey and now Mosley. Next he will fight most likely JMM since everyone is demanding he fight him if Floyd is still not available. So, other than those four guys, who has Manny not fought in the top 5 at welterweight other than Andre Berto, who is ranked lower than Shane Mosley at welterweight? Only Floyd Jr. and when Manny was fighting at smaller weights, he fought Lehlohonolo Ledwaba (whom all the sports writers were high on and Manny took that fight on short notice and was set up to lose), Morales 3 times, Barrera twice, JMM twice and Ricky Hatton on his way up.

So, you can say that Roy Jones fought more competition on his rise to pound for pound, but Manny has fought the best available most of the time more often.

This post is full of fail.

Yes a man who only has won 1 fight in the last 3 years at WW is the man.

Man, can you honestly say Berto would beat Mosley even at this stage
in Mosley's career? I agree that Berto is the right guy. Who would mind
Berto for Pac if you're a Pac fan? C'mon, man. Be real.

[boxingfan76]

JMM won the championship rounds? So what? That's 2 rounds out of 12

@ bringing up compubox life if there some how factual stat on who won the fight.

It wasn't only competitive but you judge the fight in a round by round bases, and with a 10 point system. So in that regard both fights were extremely close that could have went either way.

@ pac not wanting no part of JMM...You guys are idiots...Fact is it's a fight that should not happen at all right now. Shame on Pac and his team for even entertaining the fight.

yeah and niether should cotto margs or mosley, at least jmm keeps winning, and you have your information wrong, jmm overall won the majority of all the rounds not just the championship rounds, compubox may not count like it should but a guy that punches another guy in the head 40 more times more doesnt sound like he lost the fight. even ronny nathanliez pacs biggest nuthugger said yesterdya he feels pac lost that fight and he did. and the championship rounds are 10-12 not 11 and 12 moron.

Aren't you tired of on a daily basis?

You don't know **** about boxing!

Can you prove anything in my post you replied to as not an actual fact?

Well you can also that Hopkins doesn't beat young champs in their prime unless they're much smaller than him. I mean you can nitpick and down grade anybody career. The only one you can say was young prime and he's size and a champ was Pascal.

But, then you can turn around say that Barrera was prime, P4P level fighter, the man at 126.

There has been talks about Hopkins being a steroid user too BTW. But, that's neither here nor there.

See I can go on and diminish Hopkins wins like you want to do with Pac...But, I won't cuz' unlike you I'm not a hater and I will give credit when it's due and criticize when it's valid.

Again Pac is arguably the greatest active fighter. Key word there...Arguably...And, if he's not that great than no active fighter is which includes Floyd, Hopkins, and Pac.
