Comments Thread For: Atlas: Pacquiao Has a Tougher Fight Than Mayweather

[tangalog2200]

Every fight that Manny has is tougher than any fight Mayweather has had.

Why?

Its the difference in pedigree.

One uses non-stop attrition to win, and if he cannot stop you then he must keep it up for 12 rounds.

The other uses his mind to counter all that you've got. Once he shows you that he's got your number he casually outboxes you at his leisure.

Its always going to be "tougher" for Pacquiao because he has to work harder while Floyd continues to work smarter.

Teddy Atlas calls it like it is.

well said....

i think i could agree with you on this one..

[tangalog2200]

I don't think that MannyP really has "new" power. I think that the whole situation all along for years now is that Manny P is a guy with a welterweight frame who was struggling to keep down his weight to feather and lightweight, but finally allowed himself to become "normal"..
Being at the lighter weights would be bound to have an effect on his power, although he still packed a good KO wallop at lower weights. Now at his natural weight, when he throws, it has everything behind it. So he can KO seasoned guys much bigger and much heavier after rehydration.

good point...

agree 100%

It's astonishing to me just how much you actually KNOW about everything which goes on with MannyP. You actually know everything about him that nobody else does. If you have a huge pair of "jug-handle"ears, as I can easily see you with, hunched behind your computer, you would then be able to hear things BEFORE they're even spoken.

You could even supply your own air-conditioning just by shaking your head.

I think you're a bit nuts. Certainly not the "full shilling". I see you even regard me as a Mayweather supporter. A MAYWEATHER SUPPORTER??? The only support I'm interested in is that my belt keeps supporting my pants. Ignoramus!

Really? thats all....

"but this time".... hahaha I couldnt believe you said that.. but but but this time... hahahaahaha

JMM is a LW you *****. Even Ariza thinks JMM gets "wrecked" fighting Pac in the WW divsion.

Ortiz a Slim chance of beating Floyd... Marquez WAS NEVER A THREAT TO FLOYD PERIOD...... Dont tell me you thought Marquez had a chance against Floyd... If so, shoot yourself..

FLOYD TAILORS HIS UNDEFEATED RECORD TOWARDS FIGHTERS HE CAN BEAT. STOP DRINKING THE FLOYD KOOL-AID AND WAKE UP...

Your never gonna see Floyd put his skills to the test against tough opposition.. Why the hell do you think he hasnt fought Pac yet and accused him of PED's?

He dont want to fight Pacman nor will Floyd fight Martinez or any other tough opponent..

Expect Floyd to chase down another Light Welterweight in Amir Khan.. Floyd fishing for young fighters down south moving to his weightclass..

yet Bob Arum INITIALLY (before the Ortiz fight was signed, but was RUMORED) said there was no way Floyd fights him, because Floyd wouldn't fight someone who poses a risk

you're a ****ing toolbag.

[komandante]

Unlike Floyd, Manny always fight a risky opponent but comes victorious everytime. Teddy Atlas is a clown and always been disappointed with his predictions about Pac.

You're missing the point. Just because Pacquiao wins doesn't mean that his fight wasn't tougher than Mayweather's.

You're thinking in terms of who is taking on the greater challenge. Factually that would be Mayweather according to his opponents' rank and standing at the time in which he fought them. But that's a completely different topic.

In actuality, what's being discussed here is who has to work harder to win their fights: Mayweather or Pacquiao.

Mayweather, against even the the most difficult opponent, keeps his composure, expends little energy and outclasses his opponents at his own pace.

Pacquiao has to waste incredible amounts of energy to compete at the top level because he lacks elite boxing skills. Pacquiao gets by on a high workrate, not superior boxing skills. He gets hit A LOT. He misses A LOT.

And what non-fans called "running all night" was Shane Mosley sticking and moving, which has been a part of the game since the beginning. Shane showed that unless you are willing to stand and trade, Manny has no answers. That's why Manny has a tough time with boxers who have skills. They don't have to stand and trade. They can actually BOX! Watch the first Morales fight!

Boxers like Pacquiao will always have to try harder because they have no other tools to work with. They swarm and try to overwhelm because if they allow their opponents to make it a boxing match they know they could get into real trouble.

Just ask Marquez.

Running all night was part of his game??? He didn't win with that game plan, so is that part of the game too? :lol:

Are you saying Morales has skills in the first fight and lost it altogether in the 2nd and 3rd fight?

you have a funny logic, sir.

By the way. Pacquiao has better connect rate than most elite boxers.

[joesaiditstrue]

And PAC already beat him years ago before Floyd fought him so ur point is???

Pac "beat" JMM, the same way PWill "beat" Lara, and Floyd won a "Split" decision against DLH.

Konz must be his spy ahaha

[SilverSun]

Looks like all the *****s agree Pac has a tougher fight than Floyd

[DominiBox]

Dont be foolish about the Oscar/Pac fight. Oscar was trying to make Pac a big star. Trust me he had no intentions of winning. There is a reason Golden Boy gets a peice of all of Manny's fights. A big name on the downside of his career fights a fighter his company is trying to sign at a weight he hasnt fought at in years. Please people, dont be ******.

Oscar De la Hoya trying to make a TOPRANK fighter a BIG STAR....lol
dude.... You need to delete this one !! Hurry up !!
