pacquiao hate rants on a floyd tax thread.

Damn, sorry bro..... maybe we should change the subject back to finance ?

Yay....do it bro, just don't forget the "second rule of business"

Floyd "Payday Loan" Mayweather

[Weebler I]

Are you serious ?

He was a cracked egg dude.

He just had his clock cleaned by Mayweather.

He was ripe.

If you believe that, surely that comes under your 'faded' bracket then, how was he also disadvantaged?

Personally, I'm not sure Hatton had any lasting damage from the Mayweather fight. He'd fought twice (and won twice) since then.

Realistically he picked the wrong opponent in Pacquiao, if he had avoided Pac like Mayweather and fought Marquez he'd probably still be fighting today.

That fight, in all likelihood, ended his career when with a more careful selection of opponents it could have gone on significantly longer. But that wasn't Hatton's way, he always took the big fights.

And who cares about " fighting regularly " when you only front up against guys who are faded, old men, bums, or coming off a loss? Heaps of boxers "fight regularly".

Somehow if Mayweather added Cotto, Margarito, Clottey to his resume, regardless of condition or who they fought before, I don't think you'd be arguing the same.

After all, would you argue a past prime, aged blown up Marquez was a good win for Mayweather?

That fight was a devastating, embarrassing, breakdown, beatdown, then KO..... of a previously undefeated fighter.

It is what it is, Hatton was a cracked egg, and ripe for the picking.

He is also (coincidentally ) the same style of slow come-forward there-to-be-hit pressure fighter that has adorned Pac's recent resume'.

The ridiculous situation with his camp just exacerbated the problem.

And nope, the JMM fight was not a good win for Mayflower.

Sure it was a tune-up after coming back from a layoff, and sure Marquez was P4P #3 and is still an awesome fighter..... but it was a cheap move to market that fight as a competitive match.

Marquez jumped two divisions to welter, four divisions higher than his career-best weight, it was clearly too high for him, which is why Pac insists upon 147 if a trilogy fight happens

And, it was also a b1tch-move when Mayflower changed the contract two weeks before the fight in order to save $400k and not have to switch to diet coke during the last two weeks of training

As I said before, in response to an accusation directed toward Pac, I do not accept the "oh, but Floyd....." thing. Nothing that Mayweather does, nor any other fighter for that matter, alters Pac's recent resume'.

I don't necessarily think that Manny's resume is so bad that he should be taken outside and shot, just that the nuthuggers need to get a grip and see that Manny is overhyped, untested since 130, and a very cleverly manufactured Top Rank asset right now.

The Moore/Duran comparisions are ridiculous.

Also, I was actually serious earlier when I said that the main reason why I started on Manny was just to wreck that silly financial May-bash

It became silly, so I changed the subject to boxing

I think that's massively overstating it, imo it was a 10th Rd KO of a jww boxer fighting at ww. Sure he took shots but as he said himself the Collazo fight was just tough in terms of what it took physically (another 147lb bout).

I don't believe Hatton had any fundamental residual damage, and I believe Pac would also have KO'd the pre-Mayweather Hatton inside 2/3 rounds. I also think Pac would've KO'd Miguel Cotto earlier at JWW.

Well I don't like to see Pacquiao declare specific weights for fighters. Saying 147lbs for Martinez and Marquez is out of line imo. That said, he's a product now and they have to protect it because it's worth a lot of money.

At the same time I think you go too far the other way, he's far from untested since 130lbs, he's destroying top quality fighters who are naturally much bigger and more powerful, regardless of whether they're coming off a win or a loss.

I also think he beats a defensive or 'slick' fighter too. If Bradley beats Khan (he won't), but if he does, and he fights Pacquiao the MP would tear him apart.

The best thing about Pacquiao is that he isn't going to retire, he's going to stay active and keep giving us these great fights and that's great for boxing.

The first rule of business, you don't pay your bills until your creditor is just about to initiate legal action, that applies equally to the US government.

What's the second rule bro?

I guess it's also a hyperbole

Tell us bro

[FINCHINGBAG]

He'll ask the IRS to take a drug test before paying his due!!!
