Comments Thread For: Mayweather Unleashes Verbal Fire Storm on Pacquiao

Hatton was dominating at 140. Floyd beat him at 147, where Hatton had only fought once previously. Pacquiao destroyed Hatton at 140, his typical fighting weight.

Pacquiao skipped a weight class for the fight with Oscar. He was fighting at 130 for several years, fought Diaz at LW, then jumped to WW for the ODLH fight. Yeah, Oscar was drained for the fight, but Manny was coming up in weight and the underdog.

Floyd schooled Mosley after Mosley hadn't fought for 16 months! I thought Mosley was over the hill even before the fight. So, Mosley is truly one of Floyd's leftovers. But, [B]nobody[B] was impressed with Pacquiao's win over Mosley.

Floyd schooled JMM at WW, a weight that JMM had never fought at. There was a catchweight that [B]might[B] have made it a little more fair, but Floyd decided it would be safer to pay the fine than actually make weight.

Yeah, Manny has put on a lot of weight since he turned pro. But, he was a malnourished teenage living in poverty when he started boxing. You can easily add 30 pounds if you go from being malnourished to eating well. Add in some proper training, and does it surprise anyone that he'd be able to put on another 10-15 pounds?! This is a sport where guys can put on 10+ pounds in one night!

When Manny P began boxing pro he was reputed to be only 4'11" tall and weighing under 100 lbs.It's perfectly natural for him to grow until about age 25 and put on weight. It would be unnatural for him not to.

ortiz had already apologized to floyd moments after the incident....he hugged him and kissed him....there was no further need for hugging and kissing.....protect yourself at all times.....funny how ortiz was smiling moments after the fight......it is what it is......

He was smiling because he was out of it, he wasn't behaving normally, didn't you notice how glassy his eyes looked?

It might be what it is, but it doesn't make it right. People paid to see a boxing match that matches skills for skills. To pretend to accept the apology to leave the other guy defenseless then throw your bombs is borderline criminal.

Dan Rafael: Floyd just spent 10 mins basically making excuses why he's not fighting Pacquiao.

It transcends to 'Pacquiao is Mayweather's own nightmare'. To Floyd, Manny is a midget superman. Floyd started at a lower weight as well, didn't he? He fought at 154lbs as well, didn't he? He must be on drugs if his reasoning is credible.

To Floyd: You are not the judge and jury. Come up with proof. So far, all you have been doing is discrediting Pac's ability and giving it to drug use without proof. You must be very scared of Manny to come up with all these lame excuses.

He keeps on saying "just take the test" even though Manny is willing to take the test. I guess he is hoping that if he says the lies so many times, people will begin to believe it. And it shows that many people already have.

Frankly, I don't know who is better... Manny with his excellent offense or Floyd with his excellent defense. But Floyd is talking too much like a scared person.

I told u all that this is a garbage fight and i am 101% correct.

[WombBat]

Pacquiao by KO in the 10th.

[MoneyLarry]

that won't work on Manny Pacquiao that's for sure.

[aguileraluis22]

i dont think floyd is afraid of manny but this makes it sound like he dont want to fight manny.

[aguileraluis22]

Floyd's just butt hurt that whenever he gets interviewed he gets asked about manny. when are you gonna fight manny? and floyd is so self centered that it bothers him to no end.

Nothing new here.

Amen. Saw the video of the press conference. He was asked point blank if he had an answer for Pac and Arum going on record at their press conference that was watched by 80,000+ people live and millions worldwide with all sports media in tow about agreeing to all drug testing demands- random, unlimited, conducted by USADA... and his response was about leftovers, the 90s, feeding the homeless.

If you don't want to fight, just say so, then everyone can finally move on. People will still fall for your 24/7 bull**** and buy your glorified sparring matches.

Nothing new indeed.
