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

[DominiBox]

How can you think Marquez is stylistically a tough fight for Pacquiao, and then say Pacquiao beats Mayweather. Don't get it. Isn't Mayweather an even better counter puncher/defensive fighter?

Cuz styles make fights !!
Ricky Hatton gave Floyd lots of troubles in the first half of the fight. And you saw what Pacquiao did to Hatton!!

Pacman obviously going into da tougher fight. Pacman fighting a new and rejuvenated prime time Marquez coming of da knock out of the century win that made Floyd run for da hills. Wifebeater again fighting another old wimpy chumpion coming of a sparring session lucky win.

Atlas is tryin to say that Marquez is not going to be like Mosley and back pedal all night.. Dude is a warrior and gave Pac problems for 2 fights... Yet Money May dominated Marquez the supposed p4p ranked #2 fighter at the time....Floyd being laid off from Boxing is nothing for him.. DUde is just a talent...So many Money May haters... Dude is the only boxer who walks the walk and backs it up...Manny is fighting a 40 yr old Marquez... Floyd fight Ortits who is in his mid 20's now who is the one stepping up?.. That seems like an easy answer to me...Money May...One win is all you need in Boxing to get your name out there and make a nice payday.. I give it up to Ortits he smashed on Berto and got the big fight he has been waiting for, but his reign will end Sep 17...Hope there is room for another belt in Money May's collection.. Can you say number 7! LOL...

It's interesting how many times you guys mention this one but you forget to mention P4P ranked #2 (LIGHTWEIGHT) fighter.

Soo... Nonito Donaire is ranked #3 P4P... if Floyd beats him that means he's #1 P4P "just talent"....

Sergio Martinez is ranked #2..... when was the last time Floyd mentioned that name ?

[DominiBox]

so ALL THE *******S BIGGING UP THE JMM FIGHT.........FLOYD DOMINATED HIM 2 YEARS AGO...SOOOOOOOOO

Pacquiao fought a prime Marquez at his natural weightclass !! So ?

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.

Pacquiao always had tougher fights because he fought tougher opponents than him.

Floyd has easy fights (except against Dela Hoya) because he barely (almost never) face tough opponents.

Hatton (Floyd rd. 10 KO) - (Pacquiao rd. 2 KO)
Dela Hoya (Floyd split decision very close) - (Pacquiao rd. 8 TKO)
Mosley (Floyd UD but Mosley won first 2 rounds) - (Pacquiao shut out)
Marquez (Floyd shutout) - (Pacquiao rd. 5 KO)

Who fought these guys with more ease?

Cotto (Floyd evaded) - (Pacquiao rd. 12 TKO)
Clottey (Floyd evaded) - (Pacquiao shut out)
Margarito (Floyd evaded) - (Pacquiao shut out)

That's why Pacquiao is keeping boxing alive.

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.

I still think you'r a bit nuts, maybe more than a bit. You're still trying to start a fight over nothing that I can see, and I'm sure no others can see either. My coments were perfectly clear and non-partisan. If you're so busy that you pick up every little thing I say you MUST have seen here a dozen times that I am neither a Pacquiao nor a Mayweather supporter, but take it as it comes. That I couldn't care who wins, nor how much either makes nor how many times they cheat on tier wives.etc.etc. All I'm interested in is a good fair matchup.

I don't want to see one guy, no matter whose favourite he is, half killing the other guy.

And I don't understand your reference at the beginnig of your post. Probably you don't understand it yourself. Just forget about me will you............PLEEEEEASE. I have other things to do right now.

Even though I really don't want to have any more "argy-bargy" with you, especially over a non issue that no one sees but you, I just have to tell you a little secret about ARIZA.

Since YOU brought him up, I SHOULD let you know that ARIZA is actually a very vital part of Manny Pacquiao's team, and is primarily responsible for getting and keeping him in the top condition he has been in for the past few years. I wouldn't tell anybody else, only YOU.

And another little thing. I would bet you everything you have in REAL money, that all the Pacquiao team are pretty sure that he is going to win, either tough or easy, but he is going to win.

I can't blame them, He pays their salaries, and feeds their families, and contributes to their secure old age. And.....MAYBE......they like him. AND...maybe they believe he WILL win.

ME...... I COULDN'T ARE LESS. I don't depend on him or Mayweather for my funds. As long as it's a good fight. Now go to sleep like a good kid.

Pacquiao has it coming.. Marquez is the most skilled AND WILLING fighter he's faced in a long while.. that's why Marquez always causes Manny problems. Perfect timing, speed, underrated power and counter combinations that only a few in the sport can throw.

I like Manny and all but we are coming to kill on November 12th!!!!!! I AM PUTTING ALL OF MY POINTS ON MARQUEZ!!! Putting my points where my mouth is, with Marquez till the end!!

I don't have lots of point... but let's bet !! All mines...

[loui_ludwig]

thats sad if he give manny a tough fight at ww..that would tell a HUGE story

Yep it does cause Marquez said it himself, Pacquiao comes to fight.

[tatangb45]

no its not..he rehydrated 2 pounds man..2 pounds.hell Manny outweighted him on fight night.he was dry and looked terrible..look at him in that fight he looked like a skeleton...but its his fault and all manny did was go in and do his job..but come on man

DLH threw an average of 60 punches per round in the first five rounds against Pac. He threw 46/rd. in the first seven rounds against Floyd.
