Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Ortiz is Credible, But Pacquiao Must Follow

[Null]

The writer of this article should be happy Floyd Mayweather is even fighting. He is taking on a good young fighter and he is still criticized? As a boxing fan, it is great to see this kind of fight since it is an interesting match up. Its frustrating to see that Mayweather gets so much crap from everybody while other fighters don't get s*** said about them. The hypocrisy needs to stop. He's fighting a good young fighter, end of story. When was the last time Pacquiao fought a hungry young fighter?

The same time you answer me the question, when will Fraud will fight someone that truely poses a threat to beating him???? He hasn't fought anyone that truely stood a chance of knocking him out. You really think Ortiz has that chance? Don't get me wrong Ortiz is a greater fighter, but just before the Berto he was labeled a "quitter." Last time I checked Marquez won his last 2 fights...is considered #4 P4P in Yahoo Sports & Ring Magazine.

Facts!! Deigo/Zab/Mosely/Castillo( all Gave Money Though Fights)
The Problem is that Money is so Good that he Offset what his Opponents does and make them look sluggish and Slow!!!!

All the Fighters that Money Has Faced in say his last 10-15 Fights were all Champions coming off Career Defining Wins

He Fought them at their Weight He didn't Drain them....( Expects for Marquez he came in heavy but Marquez could have came in whatever weight he wanted too!!!

Not Look at Pac...How can you people really give this man Credit for only fighting Fighters that are Washed up!!! Coming off Bad Loses And then he Drain them!!!
How can ya'll even say this Dude is a All time Great???

Like Another Poster said Arum didn't want Manny to fight Ortiz..But Watch the Pattern After Ortiz Gets Beat by Money they will Darin Ortiz and Fight Him in March 2012 Dude is a Fraud!!!!!

Who will Have a Better Legacey??
If Manny and Money Never Fight But Floyd Fights
Ortiz
Berto
Khan
Martinez
Bradley
Alexander
And then Retires...
We all know that manny will never fight those Guys Unless Floyd beats them First!!!
Then he will Drain them and Beat them at Catch-weight........

But Honestly Who will have a Better Legacy And this is a Question for the True Boxing Fans Not the casual ones.

Fraud hasn't fought Ortiz, Khan etc...yet. But Manny has fought Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, De la Hoya, Hatton; all fighters that were bigger than him...fighters that had boxing scribes saying that these fighters had a chance of knocking him out. When has Fraud fought any fighter that was bigger than him or had a chance of knocking him out before Mosley?

Bigger doesn't mean better.

[right hand jab]

the truth is pacquiao faught a margarito who shane mosley had exposed and a cotto would wasnt the same, a ricky hatton who floyd exposed and a drained oscar who floyd had beaten a couple years before, marquez i give pacquaio credit for but alot of people think those fights were draws or marquez won, now i am a fan of manny and respect him but roach has been cherry pickin for him for a long time now, i think pacquiao will fight whoever his handlers tell him too, ortiz just beat convincingly a technical boxer(berto) and is younger and stronger than anyone pacquiaos faced in awhile plus he has speed, if u manny fans hate after the points i just made, then you just dont see facts and are not all there

Spot on with your points there, Manny hasn't faced a legitimate test since he faced Marquez (of which I had down as a draw), but then again, this is Floyd's first real test at welterweight. I look forward to this fight, which is something I haven't been able to say about Manny for some time now!

terrible article, any normal person can see that.

[jcabrera30]

floyd vs manny

they both scared of each other, cuz they know they will walk into ring not being the overwhelming favorite, none of them can risk a loss this late into their careers, This fight will ever happen

[cybertiledude]

"Pacquiao has continued to earn colossal praise for hammering all-comers while Mayweather
has lingered in the backround in what seems to have been a lavish if rather uncomfortable state of semi-retirement".

Can you atleast pretend to have have some impartiality instead of being an obvious Pacquiao***ual?

[WatchForTheHook]

Last time I checked, Manny beat Marquez at a weight class that Marquez was lethal/dangerous in 125lbs and 130lbs...before Fraud made him come up to 144lbs., where he was slow and Fraud was over 15lbs heavier at fight night. At least the weight difference when he and Manny step into the ring will be only 4-6lbs. Not much difference.

Now I'll Ask you again Who was the Lat Champ that Pac Fought that was coming off a Career Defining Win??
What was the Number Fighter in that Division??
After Marquez Like 6 years ago...
Who was the Last True Champ that Pac Fought??
----
The Last true Champ Money Fought Was Shane after he came off a Career Defining Victory against Margs. And Shane was the Number 1 Ranked WW
---
Dude you can't win this Argument I have Facts on my Side
Check all the Fighters Rankings and record When Money Fought them
Deigo-Zab-Bald-Marquez-Shane-Oscar-Ortizand the list goes on!!!
Floyd never Fought a fighter that wasn't a true Champ in years!!!!!
---
Now i'll wait for you to name the True #1 champs that Manny has fought that were coming off Career Defining Wins!!!

I didn't say that Pacquiao was GOAT!!! Only time will tell that. As time will be the only one to tell both their legacies...time will tell that Manny didn't take time off (waiting for a year and a half between fights). Time will tell that Manny stayed active, fighting fighters that were BIGGER than him. Time will be the only one to tell who had the better careers...you forget all the greats had loses, and still came back and won. Like Pacquiao...he has lost 3 times...May-never has not taken any risky fights in his later years as Pacquiao has. So I never said Paquiao was GOAT, you said that. Only time will tell.
