Comments Thread For: Arum Shreds Mayweather: No Chin, Fears Manny's Right!

[Everywhere]

in that article

"But after Friday's weigh-in, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer finally addressed the issue, telling ESPN.com, "The fight was contracted as a welterweight fight with an agreed upon weight of 144 pounds. However, there were pre-negotiated weight penalties built in."

so there was agreed upon weight penalties for failing to make weight, not that the fight was originally at 147.

Yeah but Team Mayweather contacted the Marquez camp and informed them he would be unable to make 144 and they agreed to amend the contract to 147...which would result in Floyd avoiding facing any penalties from the NSAC.

If two people to agree to amend a contracted fight to 147 from 144...the fight isn't at 144 it is at 147...

Ermm...what?



How is it a difference? Manny makes his own rules when he wants, so why can't other fighters (who are at the very top of the sport) do the same? You don't see the rationale behind my previous post?



No, they don't. They've never have.

its not rocket science!!! i dont have a problem with mayweather wanting extra testing. thats great, go ahead and get it as standard. but whats wrong is he wont fight at all unless he gets extra testing. do you see what i mean?

i see the rationale yes. but its different. think about it. mayweather failed to make weight. we all know he will make 147 if the fight ever happens. whats the NSAC say about failing to make weight because i dont know? but im guessing that the only difference pacquiao has made to that rule is the amount he should get paid.

he isnt going adding a new rule as such like mayweather is.

another thing to think about--it dont matter if floyd finally has grown the balls to fight PAC--cuz once he signs up consider him a walking dead man. fk bettin $ i bet my life floyds not only gonna lose hes gettin destroyed. u know it deep down floyd fans.

floyd wa fighting de la hoya.. pacroid was fighting 2K battery.. i hear you

bro, how can it happen if the fraud keep avoiding and ducking?
so many videos out there that shows pac agreeing to random blood testing til day of the fight...yet you have fraud on the other hand say "yes pacquiao, your next"...then turn around and say "i never said that, dont put words into my mouth"

who you gonna believe? pac who says he will take the random blood tests...or a contridicting machine in fruad who said "pac is next"...then say "i never said that"?

Pac cannot agree to something that his promoter will not allow. I think Pac really wants this fight as with many fighters, but i believe his camp is leading him away from Mayweather. I think the likelyhood of him losing to Mayweather is too great for them to take the risk at this point when his star is still shining bright.

Absolutely !! Unequivocally !!! RIGHT !!! There has been and presently is DOUBT of beating Pac.

Its has HAD Jr in a terrible bind over the past few years. He fights gimmes for the money but avoids the big show

DOUBT and FEAR of losing that 0

But the problems have compounded. This run of back and forth, the OST, then the easy fight talk has the world waiting on the edge of what will JR do next !! All the talk has brought the attention on JR. The world by and large KNOWS what you said in the ending of your post is CORRECT,,,only the faithful fanboys of Jr disagree but the WORLD knows, its been played out in school yards for years.

IF Jr retires now it becomes a HUGE DUCK !!!!!!!

IF JR retires for good without getting into the ring with Pac, it becomes the biggest DUCK in the history of boxing

\\what floyd beat a legend who fought other legends in his 18th pro fight.. tko a guy who didn't lose in 10 years and in a division he has never lost in...

this was in 1998 where the was pacroid then.. eating pag pag and getting knocked out by bodyshots.. name me 5 "LEGITIMATE" opponents pacroids has even faced... let alone beaten.. and when i say legitimate no catch weights.. damaged goods or under the influence of steroids.. no rehydration clause etc.. name one. Barrera in 2001 when he had 60 fights prior to that.. name one elite black american slick boxer.. yall guys are a joke.. even his former promoter admitted to ducking certain latin and black fighters beause they would beat him easily.. cornballs on here

No offense, but I can't believe you are a boxing fan and still don't understand what Arum meant about Manny's right hand. Yes has always hand a decent right, but know he has perfected it (excellent timing, technique etc) to the point that he can wins fights with it, and it's one of his best weapons.

There are alot of ATG's who haven't perfected certain aspects of their game. For instance, If at any point Ali became a good enough body puncher to where he could dominate/wear opponents down with that style of fighting.......people would say "Ali has became an excellent body puncher".

That's not to say he couldn't ever do it, just that he has improve on that part of his game enough to cause serious problems to anyone of his opponents he would be facing.

And BTW Mayweather's chin isn't great at all (mediocre at best). Anyone can see that, so I don't see why people are upset with that comment.

Manny Pacquaio has had an excellent right hook for many many years now.

As early as the first Morales fight he had an excellent right hand. Even the Barrera fight.

By the time the second Barrera fight it was perfected.

Mayweather's chin is better than mediocore.

Saying he has a glass chin or no chin is nonsense, wrong and frankly ******.

Which I would guess is why there is the reaction you're finding hard to grasp has happened.

[DoomCity202]

Manny knows what he has to do to make it happen.


Everyone does.

Bob should be as verbally aggressive about that.

[MrClutch85]

Anybody who thinks Mayweather is scared of Pacquiao is a dumbass and his right hand is nothing special
