Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Beat Them, Pacquiao Takes My Leftovers

[Fighting Pride]

lol, floyd acting like a fraud trying to beat Pac hiding behind the media. Pity he never fought Tszyu, Margarito, Cotto. He'd be a ****ing leftover. He needs to man up and show he's better than Pac in the ring, or forever be known as a ducker who refused to take the biggest risks

*yawns*

So bored of anything both Pacquiao and Mayweather have to say. Heard it all a million times before.

[mathed]

For the most part, Floyd Mayweather Jr. spoke softly and respectfully about his opponent Victor Ortiz during a conference call on Wednesday. But Mayweather’s comments turned toxic when the subject turned to potential foe Manny Pacquiao and his reign atop the sport. In a withering assessment of Pacquiao’s opposition in recent years, Mayweather described his choice of opponents as his own “leftovers,” a reference to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya, whom Mayweather faced and beat before Pacquiao had the chance to do the same. Continually referring to himself in the third person, Mayweather didn’t hold back in demeaning Pacquiao’s choice of opponents.

LMAO, brah, you ease by, Pac turns them into minced meat.....you scared of the truth son....it's ok because the truth is scary.

[GRUSTLER]

yeah except manny fought jmm at his best not at a bloated 140 something , while you miss weight and tip the scales at 146.
oh and cotto and margs may have lossed before and been at catch weights, but in my opinion those are 2 impressive wins, and you could have had them 3 years back when you retired, but instead you pussied out. n cant blame manny for those catch weights he was going against top guys, that were much bigger , and neither guy looked drained on fight night.

Well, now Manny is fighting him after Floyd at not JMM best weight at a bloated 140 something.

It's easy for Pac to do that when they are already the sides of beef's from the Rocky movies.

floyd fought all JRWW leftover of Kostya lol..... wtf!

[lest26]

im not a mayweather fan but he is unmatched in his era, manny is an exceptional talent aswel but he is second to floyd, i realy think its Manny that dont want Floyd coz he knows that Floyd will take the illusion and magic away from him, Pac looks like somthing out of a movie when up against Cotto or Margarito but when up against floyd he knows he will look very ordinary. Mayweather is the main course and pac aint got the stomach

[jltsmae]

pac beat jmm yet floyd fought jmm... cotto beat shane first yet floyd fought shane, not cotto. pac beat a 140 hatton, not a 147 hatton.. what is he talking about? maidana beat ortiz yet floyd will fight ortiz.

[-EAGLE-]

Floyd's fighting Chino's leftovers so

What makes it so bad is that even the guys that Mayweather didn't fight were ranked 5th by the time Pacquiao fought them.

Why is Pacquiao talking as if he's beaten top opposition?

I remember the boxing world giving Roy Jones lots of **** because the HW champion that he wound of facing was John Ruiz despite him trying to face Lewis.

Now, if Jones gets **** for facing a legitimate HW champion who outweighed him by more than 20lbs, what should Pacquiao get for beating 5th ranked guys who outweighed him by no more than 5 or 6lbs?

This is how boxing fails its fans.

The sports media machine can decide who THEY want to back, but only true champions of the sport will be remembered for reigning and doing extraordinary things.

Using catchweights in divisions where you can make the limit is NOT extraordinary.

Using rehydration stipulations is NOT extraordinary. DLH@145lbs? LOL!

Refusing PED testing is NOT extraordinary.

Competing for FIVE .. count them .. FIVE vacant titles instead of defeating champions for championships is NOT extraordinary.

If Pacquiao feels that he's done something extraordinary, please tell him to let us know what it was. Its ashamed to watch a boxer who has the ability to put on great performances settle for such a shabby legacy.

Arum wanted money, not a legacy. So, Arum has put Pacquiao in positions where Pacquiao wins against the guy in front of him, but the guys he's beaten at the times he beaten them held little to no glory.

Its Arum's fault for hyping those matches up by completely relying on the "David vs Goliath" dynamic, but that dynamic is meaningless because Pacquiao has only ever beaten someone who weighed about 7lbs heavier than himself. Floyd beat DLH on fight night when DLH easily outweighed Floyd by 20+lbs. Roy beat Ruiz when Ruiz easily outweighed him by 20+lbs. And both men were ranked better than 5th when those men fought them.

Some casual fans, specifically *******s, cling to Arum's hype to Pacquiao's own detriment, or at least to the detriment of Pacquiao's true legacy. Its fun to play "Whose the top boxer" right now, but when historians begin picking apart Manny Pacquiao, *******s aren't going to like it.

No matter what you think or how strongly you feel about Pacquiao, his accomplishments aren't going to be better than they really are. His career really began after 40 fights of padding. He competed for vacant titles throughout his career to define himself. He used catchweights in a division where he could have made the limit. He sought out 5th ranked fighters as the best competition he could secure.

If Pac's fans demanded more of him, he would have had a much better career.

One thing I can say about Mayweather fans is that we've been very vocal about Floyd stepping up to bigger and better challenges.

Floyd listened and kept fighting the #1 and #2 in each division.

Pacquiao fan's stayed silent and happy and allowed him to let Arum ruin his legacy.

Time will show everyone.

Today's perception of boxing belongs to boxing writers.

Boxing immortality belongs to the historians. As it is many historians don't buy into the hype that today's writers are heaping upon Pacquiao's shoulders. Its sad, but Pacquiao and his fans don't realize that Arum is about money, not his fighter's best interests.

No one will blame Arum however. Pacquiao is his own man. Manny ultimately made the decisions that led him to miss out on a great legacy and a lose most of his own money. People won't forget that. People won't forget what Marquez did to him in the first two fights. People won't forget that he fought Margarito when Margarito was STILL BANNED. People won't forget that he avoided the PED tests for 3 years.

There's a bigger picture here people, and *******s have completely missed it.
