THE REASON WHY PACQUIAO ’S RISE IS MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN
FLOYD’S

In sports when someone accuses you
of steroid or performance
enhancement drug usage, that
usually means that you are doing something so great that it’s too good to be true. It means that you are accomplishing
feats that no other person in your
sport has been able to do and you are
doing it in impressive fashion. That’s what is going on with Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in boxing. He is so good that his biggest rival Floyd
Mayweather Jr. accused him of taking
“Power Pellets” even though Manny has never tested positive for drugs or
steroids before and for the first time in
his career Floyd demanded an
opponent to take Olympic style drug
tests. Before Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his
family accused Manny Pacquiao of
being on the juice, Floyd’s fans never felt Manny was on something, they
only started accusing him of being on
PED’s when the Mayweather’s did. Now all of a sudden you see plenty of
loyal Floyd fan’s on YouTube or writing blogs and posting on message
boards defaming Manny’s name and telling him to take the test and already
marking him a Guilty man without any
proof other than Mayweather’s su****ion. That’s how you know Manny Pacquiao is a truly great fighter! Because the
people who dislike him the most are
actually the ones who are impressed
with him the most. They can’t seem to stop talking about him, and believe
that Manny is so good that he must be
on steroids to achieve what he has. Manny’s rise in weight is more impressive than Floyd Mayweather’s because of the simple fact that Manny
is an offensive first fighter and Floyd is
a defense first boxer. For a small
fighter like Pacman to climb up in
weight and go toe to toe with bigger
men and still get the better of them in exchanges and dominate almost
every round against them is a far more
memorable feat than a smaller guy in a
shell who covers up, runs back, and is
content with just throwing 20
punches a round. When you are an offensive minded
fighter and going up in weight you
leave yourself open to get countered
or knocked out because you take
more chances, a defensive minded
fighter who doesn’t sit down on his punches has an easier time when he
goes up in weight because he can pot
shot and move without leaving himself
open to getting knocked out because
of his conservative style. When Floyd
did try to trade with Shane Mosley he was wobbled twice in the third round
by right hands, imagine if Floyd was
more offensive? He probably wouldn’t be undefeated, I mean, he almost lost
a split decision to Oscar De La Hoya
with the few punches he threw, and
with like 3 seconds left in the 12th
round of that fight Floyd decided to
trade with Oscar trying to impress us but instead he got rocked a little bit. What Manny has done with a purely
offensive style is truly something of
legend. Floyd hasn’t done anything new, he hasn’t fought big aggressive guys at welterweight like an Antonio
Margarito or Miguel Cotto, he is purely
defense first with conservative punch
output and carefully picks his
opponents. I am in no way bashing
Floyd’s skill, he is the best all around boxer I’ve seen when he was at 130-135 and fighting the best, but
when he went up in weight he has
done nothing to prove his greatness,
he ducked Antonio Margarito and
Miguel Cotto. When you take chances you are
bound to get hit or even knocked out,
Manny winning the way he has while
leaving himself open for counters is
why people are putting him higher
than Floyd. Anyone can cover themselves all night and just pot shot
to a decision win, but to really make a
statement and impress people you
have to take chances. Muhammad Ali,
Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray
Robinson, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, all took chances, and Manny
Pacquiao is cut from their cloth, I can’t say the same about Floyd Mayweather
because he hasn’t fought or beat enough tough legit Welterweights like
the Pacman has.
