[Tweezy316]

Did anyone else see in the 12 round it looked as if shane and pac we're having a conversation everytime they clinched which was like every 5 seconds. I thought mosley was gonna take a dive and they were setting it up. But it definitely looked like they we're talking.

Interview with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

He is making a t-shirt that says "take the tests" LOL

The way it is ...

Moeley is just a scumbag. What a ****ing bastard. He sold hes pride in this fight. He never used his right hand in a way he could hurt the midget (5-5"). Moeley should be ashame and alll the black people like myself should hate his mother ****ing ass. He proves he'd rather sell his son and girlfriend for money like he did to this fight. THIS FIGHT WAS FIXED. Just like I warned everyone. Hopefully I save millions on people around the world with my advice. JUst keep reading my advices on this fake sport. nitramzaid@hotmail.com 7873424637

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

LOL. did you watch the fight?? shane was stiff-arming and back-peddling... manny was cutting off the ring and chasing him down. every time pac initiated a combo, shane would bail... similar to floyd/shane, pac/shane disappointed due to shanes failure. it wasnt great, but it was a solid win for pac... he made a warrior run for his life... dont get it twisted, this didnt help pac's legacy much... it was predetermined. meh

i think floyd/pac is a toss up... what will floyd do when pac puts his combos together??? floyd will close up just like clottey... defense doesnt win matches... we already know floyd doesnt throw enough punches... and pac is a combo machine... so i dont think its bizarre to think pac will out-hussle floyd to a decision... but its also not bizarre to think floyd will pot-shot and retreat to a long & close SD.

jmm timed and countered pac beautifully, but floyd doesnt have jmm's heart... jmm had success cuz he stood toe-to-toe with pac and took the risks to catch pac.... if you sit back and wait for pac, he will steal rounds just by activity ALONE... last night, shane CHOSE not to risk mixing it up with pac. do you HONESTLY think floyd will mix it up with pac?? i would LOVE for floyd to risk it all with pac and back up his talk. if floyd channeled his LW version of himself in a fight with manny, then that would be an AMAZING fight.

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.

This is bull****. The one and only time they had negotiations it was Bob arum who walked away, not team mayweather. They walked away and figured that if Mayweather wasnt going to fight them, then he wouldn't fight Mosley either, so they took there chances with the media, AND IT BACKFIRED BIG TIME. 14 days, That's why the fight in January didn't get made. During the last week of those negotiations when it became apparent that Mayweather wasn't going to back down from his demands, and Pacquiao "after he got Mayweather to accept to his ridiculous 10mil dollar per lb clause" didn't wanna be tested within 14 days, it was bob arum who went to start negotiations with Joshua CLottey. Thats a fact. I dont know what bs you were rambling, but Mayweather isn't the 1st fighter to ask his fighter to take additional testing. IT seems to me that Pacquiao's only interested in fighting mayweather, when people ask him about it. Because when they asked him what he wanted to do after the fight "I heard him say something about his leg, and if the reporter didn't mention mayweathers name, im sure he wouldnt of said anything about him either. Fact They only had 1 negotiation where both parties and representatives met, and it was team pacquiao in particular Bob Arum, who walked away. Everything else that has gone on in the media, is just to sway public opinion.

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?

So this is a black white thing? You know the world is not black-white and the US is not the world.


Regarding the examples- when McGwire was hot Sammy Sosa was another right with him who was black (Hispanic is not a race - there are three races Native American (Chavez), Black (Trinidad), White (de la Hoya)). At first people didn't want to believe it but the evidence kept growing and growing until it became a scandal. And - last time I looked Roger Clemens was white.

Bonds did not break Ruth's record - Hank Aaron did. And, in case you care Aaron trashed Bonds use of steroids.

Regarding ***** being disrespected? Where were you during the Bush years?

I did a quick search - here's a site: http://www.theclassical*******.com/T...**killbush.cfm

I am a true boxing fan and will still be one when Floyd and Manny are done. Only one kinda man would turn down such a huge opportunity and that's a man with something to hide. That's not pride. Pride doesn't turn down an opportunity like this. Manny doesn't like boxers and Floyd is the ultimate. If I were Floyd I wouldn't give a fighter a cheating edge either. You dumbasses cowards that stand with a man not willing to come clean would never get in a ring yoiurself. I've been there and I know I would never knowingly allow a man to come into a fight with that kinda edge. What man is unwilling to prove his innocence? A GUILTY ONE!!!!!!!

you are not a true boxing fan..coz if you are,you should know who's ducking who..

Very wrong interpretation. I hope it is not deliberate on your part.

Manny was clearly exhorting him to fight!

[diaquip]

Mayweather's defence is too good for Pac. Floyd would counter Manny far too often; if you thought he was being cautious against Mosley, wait till he's in front of Mayweather.

-pac was wary of shane's power. but with floyd, he'll willingly eat those potshots to unload his power.
