Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather-Pacquiao Happens, Floyd Will Win

[DoomCity202]

Hard to legitimately call him ****** based on the position that he's already in

his accomplishments werent easy and self management deserves kudos

Paqcuiao fans take stabs at the fighters character like its a political race
with mudslinging...none of that matters in the ring and Floyd is one of
the smartest fighters to ever step in the ring.

As far as being ****** there have been many ****** (outside of the ring) champions.

This is boxing man.

lol wtf you talkin bout that doesnt answer my question

Well.... if you want a date, november 13th 2010....vs Margarito.
Being able of overwhelm a guy, doesn't mean it was an easy fight.

"as a student of the game. I really love dissecting styles, studying styles"

what utter bull*****.

if dlh was such a student of the game who loves dissecting styles, then why did he

- fight pac
- put ortiz in with maidana
- put jmm in with wifebeater
- and all the other blotched calls he made

You do realize your points can be nullified. The "other mastered tecniques" is pretty much just his high guard, (pac penetrated a tighter version vs Clottey) and that jab to the stomach, very risky against a southpaw with a good counter right-hook, not to mention instead of hitting the solar plexus (vs orthodox) he'd be hitting Pac's ribcage.

You are right about one thing though, Mayweather does have the best lead right in the game, then again, Pac has the best lead left (arguably better than Floyd's right) and has more power behind it.

Good points, but Pac penetrated nothing vs Clottey, Clottey was unmarked, and Manny's connect-rate was extremely low, by memory.

You cannot compare the human punching bag with Mayweather.

Footwork is the key, everything will be setup from there.

whats up hugh. why are people so angry about osdt? if pac had asked floyd to take osdt and floyd refused, i would have to say why? if floyd had nothing to hide why not take the test. i dont understand why pac fans dont say why not take the test. all fighters are suppose to be clean any way. so why is this such a big deal. help me understand this.

If ANYONE refuses, or quibbles, over OST's, they should be roasted alive.

I always tell people I don't care what you say about either fighter, who you like more, who has the better looking girl, who makes more money, who punches harder, or who is more exciting. When Floyd and Pac actually every do fight, Floyd beats him 9-3.

[LeadUppercut]

I'd imagine Pacquiao's handspeed as well as excellent footwork, plus the fact he likes to throw more then one punch at a time would give Mayweather a lot of problems toe to toe. I guess we'll have to just wait and see how it all plays out.

Those are two main points. Can Pacquiao's footwork/combinations counter Mayweather's defence/skills/accuracy?

DLH again sucking up to MWJ to get a piece of his pie.

[LeadUppercut]

Man, this fight isn't going to happen...the sooner everyone forgets about it, the better.

The entire thing is putting the face of boxing in the mud. Judging by the way DLH quit on his stool against Pac yet made it to the final bell relatively unscathed against Mayweather, I'd say that old Oscar surely isn't basing his prediction on his own performance against either of them.

But you simply cannot compare those two fights.

They were two completely different Hoya's.

That's like comparing Marquez at 126 vs the 146lb version.

he's a student of the arum business game he got played in when he was a little golden boy... and grades aren't so good
