Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Can't Force Mayweather Jr. To Fight Me

[Brother Jay]

Wouldn't say Pac ran from anyone. But, there's certainly credible fighters he missed on his way to superstardom. Same can be said about Mayweather. IMO, when you fight in as many divisions as both have, you can't fight everyone. That's why I feel the whole cherry picker label both seem to have is unfair. Both took the right fight at the right time. If they can't get together, Martinez is the right fight. One needs to step up.

I would absolutely say that Pacquiao ran from plenty of people.

Pacquiao has ONLY fought plodders in his career .. slow, moving-forward fighters who ideally want to stand and trade.

The slickest boxer Pacquiao has ever faced in his entire career was Juan Manuel Marquez. Marquez is hardly what most of us would call slick as his Mexican pride dictates that he stands an trades, but still his skills and ability to slip punches makes him absolutely the slickest man Pacquiao has ever faced.

Pacquiao could have fought plenty of slick boxers, but he avoided them in EVERY SINGLE DIVISION that he's competed in.

That's a whole lot of boxers that Manny has avoided.

But let's just talk about one: Zahir Raheem.

Erik Morales was coming off of a tremendous upset over Pacquiao. Morales then faced Zahir Raheem and lost all 12 rounds. All of them!

The logical match would have been to fight the man who just completely dominated Morales. Instead, Pacquiao chose to fight Morales. After defeating Marquez though, Manny never gave Raheem a second thought.Its the same thing that Pacquiao did at 140lbs .. a division with plenty of slick fighters.

Manny has avoided slick fighters throughout his entire career. So to say that he has not run from anyone is untrue. He avoided a particular type of fighter all together!

All you have to do is watch his fights!

Its no mystery or best kept secret. Either you're going to be honest with yourself or you go against the facts.

When it comes to the Random Test....

..which one of you fools didn't understand the article?

[boxingfan4life]

If team Pac believed Mayweather was genuinely afraid to fight, Manny could easily accept the testing and call Floyd's "bluff", but he won't. So who's really scared?

very good point. im glad someone finally said it

Neither guy wants the fight. The only fans who try to blame just one fighter or try to defend only one fighter are a bunch of ****riders.

Both deserve the blame. Both are just totally fine with ducking each other(yes Floyd is ducking Pac and Pac is ducking Floyd). Both are totally fine with fighting lesser fighters while making millions. While their ****** gullible fan base eat up everything they say.

To sum up the previous and following pages:

Pac Fans - "Gayweather is scared, Gayweather is a coward."

Floyd fans - "Manny take the test, take the test."

I topped paying attention to the words of these guys a while back. Until the contract is actually signed their words mean nothing.

Yea..Wikipedia...

..why are you so surprised?

lol, he said even wikipedia knows it...

..it is sad you look at it that way....and who the fuq is raheem? get a life, you dumb idiot!!!

At the time, Raheem was coming off of a domination of Morales .. the man who handed Pacquiao his asss.

That's who Raheem was.

To be the man, you have to beat the man.

Morales was no longer the man.

Raheem was, assshole.

And it for that very reason that Pacquiao put on his horse blinders and ignored the fact that Raheem was the man to beat.

Its ashamed that you didn't see those matches, and that you're not even a boxing fan, you simple minded peasant.

That is the ONLY way to look at it because those are the facts.

If you're going to come at me, you have to do better than that, chump.

Zahir Raheem.. haha you have got to be kidding me.. Who the hell was Zahir Raheem and where the hell is he now.. A NO NAMER... If Zahir was what you say a so called slick contender then we would be hearing his name today.. He was an up an comer then whos career just faded..

Pac has fought big names at the LWW and WW division, Zahir would of done nothing to Pacs resume with the accomplishments Pac has done today..

Sure Pac could of stayed at LW and dominate but a BIG MONEY opportunity that excelled Pacquiaos name came about against a fight with DLH who literally 90percent of the boxing community and people on these boards had DLH winning..

Forget Zahir Raheem, Pacs choice in DLH and their on were the perfect opponents for Pac to get to where he is today..

and please dont say Pac ducked Joan Guzman.. Where is he today? Thats right, rebuilding a career that went down under..

Keep it real, Zahir was a nobody then and a nobody now.. Sure he beat Morales after Morales had wars with Pac and MAB.. Lets not forget Morales was moving up in weight to fight Zahir..

If Zahir was that slick boxer that you call him we would be hearing his name or atleast be seeing him on ESPN FNF.. But no ones heard his name in YEARS..
