Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Mayweather Could Have Been in Trouble Late

Lmao to the one that said Ortiz was winning the 4th round. Denial at it's best. Just got through looking at the fight. Floyd was teeing off on Ortiz with hooks, uppercuts just in one episode and it was back to the straight right hand the rest of the rounds. I dare anyone that thinks Ortiz was winning the 4th round post the vid up. Ready set go. jajajajaja

Manny is of course biased. Anyone who watched knows that Floyd was about to seriously start tearing Victor up. His punches were, as always, laser accurate- and Ortiz was startled the same way Mosley was startled. Both of them just wanted to hug or touch gloves after getting hit so accurately and so often. I'm not a blind Floyd lover, it's just truth. Victor had nothing going for him except an extra 15 pounds over Floyd which helped his ring generalship a bit. Wish I could have seen Floyd get a legit knockout- it probably would have happened in round 6 or 7 the way he was starting to open up in 4.

Bob Arum said disgrace. Not the guy who defended a guy who was using bricks in his gloves. You thought we forgot Mr. Arum?

[richardt]

Arum is the EPITOME of a hypocrite! If Mayweather was his fighter, he would be singing his praises from the rooftops and if Margarito was not his fighter, he would have called the police the night Margarito was caught with loaded gloves and would have screamed bloody murder. Arum is a not-so-glorified sleazy lawyer and nothing more.

Poor Pac, he needs to stop asking for loans and pay more attention to his finances (the irony). Mayweather was putting on a clinic and in fact was landing more and more punches as the fight went on. Ortiz couldn't even land double digits in any round and got frustrated, hence the head butts. Everyone knows Floyd adjusts, takes your best asset and uses it against you.

It would have only gotten worse for the already beaten fighter who only one round 1 on one judges score card. It would have got to the point that Ortiz wouldn't have landed more than a few punches while being hit more than 30 to 40 shots and eventually would get stopped or his corner would have thrown in the towel. It was a boxing clinic by round 4, any later and it would have been a complete beating.

Lets hope Pac doesn't struggle vs the LW JMM at WW... we don't want any excuses.

LOL at the people getting mad at manny. all he is saying is that floyd COULD have been in trouble in the later rounds. he didnt say floyd was going to or anything like that. all he said was theres a possibility that floyd could have trouble later in the rounds. why is it wrong for him to say this? do u guys know what would have happen if the fight continue? floyd was winning the fight no doubt about that but anything could have happen in the later rounds.

"trouble" what fight was manny watching , Ortiz was gettin slaughtered with one punch (right hand lead) .. in that last furry if u watch in slow motion, he landed nothing of significance. this was gonna be a blowout and victor knew it so he found a way out.

Why did they take the blood tests? Is that because they're getting the biggest pay day of their life? Just maybe?

WHO FKN CARES WHY THEY AGREED KID ?

Blood tests are completely harmless.

Still you have to admit to dominate these guys is amazing. These aren't just tomato cans, these are experienced professional boxers who've seen it all. Experience is a big thing in boxing, it takes years to know the trade and become master of the art.

These aren't 24 year old apprentices.

For him to maybe win against these guys in even competitive fights would already be amazing in their own right. But to dominate and destroy these same guys, that's unheard of. To go 67 dominating rounds straight, just phenominal. Seeing history here guys.

What an idiot kid.

*** off and grow up you clown.

It is a joke that you would come here in the hopes of peddling your ridiculous opinion.

" a good fighter will look great if he holds all of the advantages "

Pacquiao is barely hof-worthy.

Had he fought back in the old days when there was only one champion, no catch-weights, under the original divisions, using same-day weigh-ins, he would likely only be a 1-2 division champ, at best.

The last prime champion that Pac fought beat him, and the previous champ who beat Pac wasnt even prime. I dont see greatness there.

There are dozens of great fighters who were very successful going up and fighting as the smaller man..... they did not cherry-pick the easiest champion, fighting old men, manipulating advantages, using catch-weights..... they would fight anyone.

Pacquiao simply will not do that, and according to common-sense, he is likely a steroid cheat as well.

=========================

FACT: Pacquiao has only ever fought two welterweights at 147, one was an old man, and the other was a bum..... neither were ranked higher than 4, and neither should have been ranked in the top 5.

FACT: Pac would not fight a faded shop-worn Cotto without a catch-weight.

FACT: Ortiz has achieved more at welter than Pacquiao, because he beat a legit #3, Manny has never done that. Berto > Clottey, and the Mosley that Pacquiao fought.

Pacquiao is a hypejob man, he has tip-toed through the tulips, due to superb match-making, masterful timing, and the manipulation of advantages..... his resume is manufactured.

" a good fighter will look great, if he holds all of the advantages "

=========================

Back in the day, it is highly unlikely that Pac would have won a title at fly or welter. And at fw/lw he would have had to fight the very best, using same-day weigh-in, no catchweights, and no contractual manipulations.

Now, you may insist to me that Pacquiao COULD have done all that ?

My question is, then why the *** didnt he ?

Why is he fighting old men and bums who are mostly coming off losses ?

Why the catch-weights ?

Why the contractual manipulations if he is supposedly a P4P fighter ?

Your " Pac is an ATG " theory, requires a ****load of faith, which is rubbish.

Your theory requires that.....

* Pac could have beaten JMM in a rematch at 130, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten Raheem, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten the best lightweight, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten the best JWW, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten Cotto at 147, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten a genuine JMW, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten Mosley when he was #1, even though he did not
* Pac could have beaten Mayweather, even though he did not
* Pac could have tested clean for steroids, even though he did not

Sooooooooooo many " coulds "

Certainly, way too many for a truly great fighter.

Great fighters leave more answers than questions, Manny has left more questions than answers.

Marquez will be just fine. He can come in whatever weight he feels comfortable in. Come fight night they will weigh almost the same, like they do now when they fight.

Marquez fights as a junior welter but comes in fight night at around 147. Pacquiao fights as a welter but comes at fight night at around 148. You can't get any closer than that.

Too much info for LEAD.... don't waste your time !!

Only ignorants mention fight-night weight when discussing boxing with an adult.

That is why you are such a dopey **** domini.

Because I have already clearly explained the difference to you.

You kids are a joke.

FACT: Marquez is a lightweight

FACT: THE ENTIRE WORLD (except for a couple of pig-ignorant kids) knows that Marquez looked old, fat, and slow, at welter

FACT: Previous fight-night weight is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT, because the amount of muscle-mass and conditioning that you take into a fight is strictly determined at the official weigh-in, rehydration weight is completely irrelevant and can even be detrimental.

Why dont you kids go play outside and leave the boxing talk to us adults ?
