Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Breaks Down Pacquiao vs Mayweather Bout

[Brassangel]

Floyd knows that racism is behind how he's viewed. Some will say well Manny's asian but the thing is "anybody but a black guy". Manny's career isn't really his any way it's Bob Arum's, Manny is just a puppett, a willing puppett. I agree, if it were Floyd avoiding testing the whole world would be against him. His titles would be stripped and maybe even his boxing license but for some reason Manny get's a bye.

That's the ******est statement of all time. Besides, this isn't about the hypothetical, it's about reality.

Manny isn't getting a bye from anybody. At first he only agreed to a cutoff date, sure, but mostly as a bargaining chip in their verbal tug-of-war. It wasn't about hiding, it was about gaining the upper hand in the negotiation process (for both of them). But then just flat-out agreed to do the test. It was then that Mayweather suddenly walked away from the table.

Since no championship fighters are required to take those types of tests anyway, there's no reason why the top 2 champions of the last 20 years should be subject to them.

Why did Mayweather ask for them? That's the only fishy component. He never wanted the fight to begin with, and this was a way for him to leverage himself out of it.

When he was making the rematch with De La Hoya (who was literally a handful of jabs away from winning that fight, btw), everyone was hounding him to fight Cotto or Margarito: then the two hottest Welterweight prospects. Mayweather made up some bs about them not being big enough names, and then in the face of speculation that DLH stood a chance in the rematch, Floyd just decides to retire.

Now his PR people are flooding the airways with his personal "troubles" which are sure to keep him out of boxing until Manny slows down, and then he will come clamoring for a match. And let's face it, Mayweather's style will hold up to age better Manny's. Volume punching reliant upon speed is one of the first traits to go.

When history looks back on this era, it will have been Floyd Mayweather, not Manny Pacquiao, who prevented this fight from happening.

Yeah, Mayweather "never" hurt Shane. Shane really won that fight.

Where did I say that, moron?

To add to my previous post, Shane hurt Floyd, but never had Manny in trouble at all.

mayweather may have the best defense in boxing but pacman has the best offense, that's what wins the fight. reason why mayweather never runs out REASONS. Comprendre amigos y amigas?

[Monte Fisto]

He didnt break down nothing..

Exactly, he took the "politically correct" route.

Even sadder is, i dont see No one Else at 147lbs, that would make a good fight with Pacquiao, but Mayweather doesnt seem interested at all. He's def not guaranteed to beat Pacman. Marquez is going to get Destroyed, I see No way he even has a chance, even if he hits pacman, lol,

[iNDOLiFER]

This is a half truth. What he has agreed to is tests with a CUTOFF date. So in essence, yes he agreed to testing. But what the REAL testing that is being asked for is NO CUTOFF (Olympic standards). That my friend, is a 100% fact statement. Don't believe the blogs that speculate.

how would he agree to test with a cut off date when both floyd and manny couldnt come to an agreement on the cut off date? manny agreed to full testing with no cut off. should i post the vid of that up?

Shane won 1 round against Mayweather, and he won 1 round against Manny according to one of the judges. I gave Shane ... I think it was round 4, it was one of the early rounds when he still thought he had a chance, i'll have to rewatch the fight to be sure

It was a 9-9 round.

y0 i came to ur party like night for some bbq crow but the lights were off already?

[mananimal]

agree with most of it.

Last night showed me three things.

Pacquaio must have some heavy hands because Shane isn't known for going down like that.
He was hurt bad and you could tell.

Second thing I learned is that Shane Mosley showed no heart in his fights against Mayweather and Pacquaio. He just tried to survive for 12 rounds.
That will damage his legacy especially after calling out Pacquaio and Mayweather.

Third thing is that I was a little disturbed by how hard it was for Pacquaio to engage Mosley, and how easy it was for Mosley to avoid punches, and keep Pacquiao at bay with a weak jab.

This fight exposed both fighters and I would guess that Mayweather was not impressed by Pacquaio.

After last night I feel there is no way Pacquiao beats Mayweather.
Mayweather's boxing skills are a 100 times better than Mosley's.
Mayweather's defence and head movement is 100 times better than Mosley's.
Mayweather's has more heart and fortitude than Mosley.
Mayweather is younger than Mosley
Mayweather has more foot and hand speed than Mosley.
Mayweather's chin and body are more durable than Mosley's.
Mayweather's Jab is a 100 times better than Mosley's

I could keep going but you guys get my point.
Mayweather wins that fight by UD

Now can we please make this fight happen because Marquez is gonna get stopped.
This is not the same Pacquaio that he fought at 126/130

I agree with everything but the chin part, when a fighter gets old, 1 of the 1st things they lose is there ability to absorb punishment. But I agree, I dont get what Mayweather is afraid of, He has all the tools to Neutralize most of what Pacquiao likes to do, should be "Easy work", behind his Lethal Jab.

I have more confidence in the future than you do. We all see that Marciano fought fighters way past their primes and history will show the same for Manny. His record will be put against other greats and broken down to 7 fighters in a row coming off huge losses. NO WAY Manny avoids Marquez and really wants to fight Floyd and no way if it were Floyd being called out for juicing, the whole world wouldn't be coming down on him. There would be new laws for testing if it were Floyd. When McGwire was juicing and everybody knew it they all turned their heads but when Bonds broke the Babe's record it changed the game and you and everybody else knows it.
How many Presidents have been as disrespected as *****? Floyd's personal business is just that, HIS PERSONAL BUSINESS. What the **** does that have to do with what he does in the ring?
