Comments Thread For: Arum Talks Pacquiao, Mayweather, Ariza Rumors, More

Let the fight proceeds this year, but, first, let Floyd Jr clear up his name from numerous Court suits filed against him. As for Ariza, I think he should be retained in Pacman Yeam, because Ariza has already proven his worth as a Physical Conditioning expert

while i wont go as far to say he will have an easy time in beating pac, it wont be the battle people think. manny makes a ton of mistakes in his bouts. a astute student of the game like floyd will make him pay every time. if jmm was as fast as pac, he would have put an awful beating on pac. my real concern is ssm will ko pac and ruin the sex apeal of this fight. this fight will go like all floyd fights. by the 3rd round floyd will make adjustments and leave pac in the dust. top rank did pac a dis-service by feeding him all those soup cans as legit competition. pac is cool but he dont make adjustments in the fight. i dont think he will be properly prepared for floyd.

I disagree with your logic. If Manny had the defense of Floyd Jr., what would've happened in his two fights with JMM? You can't "if ..., then..." the figher's abilities. They are what they are.

I think Floyd's a little bit too much for him, Pac is great but as was mentioned before, you can't truly evaluate him based on the level of opposition he's faced in the ring and the ridiculous stipulations/demands in some of those fights. This one will make or break Manny, he won't have any room to call the shots as both fighters are on top of the world right now. If anyone can neutralize the controlled frenzy of Pacquiao it's Mayweather. Just sayin.

The same argument can be made on Manny's behalf: If anyone can neutralize the spectacular defense of Floyd Jr., it's Pacquiao.

Also, you can argue that Floyd has made ridiculous stipulations/demands: Bringing Hatton up to 147 and JMM up to 144 (and then 147). Remember, Manny has fought in two catchweight bouts (Clottey and Margs).

I'll believe that they're fighting when the bell to RD 1 rings. OTHERWISE, kill the noise.

I pretty much agree...especially if the story comes from a Mayweather...

you are right, you cant what if. BUT its fun to speculate sometimes on outcomes if certain facts were different. you are correct in pointing that out without malice.

champ one question, when you look at the jmm vs manny fight and you see how much a true boxer gave manny a lot of trouble. jmm made adjustments after the first round and made a fight of it. in the second fight he wobbled manny twice. floyd is faster, stronger and has phenominal defense. do you really think manny can out box or slug floyd into submission? that is assuming pac gets past the iron chined ko power in both hands shane mosley.

hello my friend, i cant stand ariza. i think he brings a huge negative to manny.

i can guarantee this. if mayweather can avoid prisom. manny pac will get the beating of his life.so much has been said.jokes have been told,and jealous haters continue to hate.but on fight night,should it happen.floyd money mayweather knowing the world is watching will completely embarrass pac.

It really shows you are not a boxing fan.

Hmmmmm...what is so special in south africa? will pbf team drop the demand on OST etc? or will pac team agree to an OST bcoz venue is south africa? just another hot air blow from pbf & co? no use daydreaming who of the two fighters will win if ever the fight comes to be held...the fans are the sure winner as both fighters are good and fight likely to be a classic
