Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: This Shows How Superior Mayweather Is

[LeadUppercut]

Pac tried so hard to please us fans he ate up those counters! All counter punchers will have controversial decision w/ Pac (if they won't get KTFO) bcoz of his fan friendly style. W/ Floyd even the patient and accurate counter puncher became the aggressor bcoz Floyd couldn't care if no punches were thrown in 12 rounds of snoozer. That being said Pac vs Floyd will result to a controversial decision if he won't get KTFO that is!

Yep, and it was pleasing, he actually did a cracker job

Morales dominating Junior jones shows how superior he is to Barrera right? Oh wait thats why they had a razor thin trilogy which was as closely contested as JMM vs PAC.

Also Hatton had success against Floyd and was in that fight whereas Manny blew him out the water.

Oscar is just bitter Manny got in his @ss and forced him to retire.

Jones was nothing like Barrera, but the difference between Marquez and Mayweather will just be a case of..... out of the frying pan into the fire, for Pac.

All of the things that caused problems for Manny when he fought Marquez yesterday, aint gonna get any better, thats for sure.

Can you think of a fighter who ranks reasonably highly as far as the following attributes are concerned?..... movement, technique, ring generalship, timing, counter-punching..... combined with a small height advantage, a significant reach advantage, a great jab to the stomach, and the best right-hand lead in the game?

Put it this way, Freddie will be far more concerned that you are, thats for sure.

Hey, you have just figured out why Pac avoided Marquez and ilk for the last 3 years and instead fought slow, plodding, come-forward guys like Diaz/Hatton/Clottey/Margarito, havent ya?

Yes triangle theory territory.

If Manny KO'ed Hatton at his best weight in 1/5th the time it took Floyd to at 147... If Mosley landed more on Floyd than he did against Manny in the same amount of time... If Floyd got a split decision against Oscar but Manny pummeled Oscar into oblivion and made him quit on his stool... See where we are all going?

Yes but in almost every scenario Manny fought the worst versions of those fighters. You have to take that into account. Hatton coming off his first loss and two lackluster performances, Mosley being a year older and also coming off a loss, Oscar being a year and a half older and coming down to a weight he hadn't fought at in years.

listen to the people dismissing this as a mere baseless triangle theory, its an opinion based on styles and its really not that hard to grasp, but people seem to be struggling it seems..

[mrgreenfingers]

By Oscar's thinking, shouldn't the ass whoopings Pac laid on him and Hatton disprove the same thinking?

Just saying...

would've expected better from you..

As a person I have never really liked Floyd, I see no greatness in him or enything I respect, I dont care have many cars he has or have much money he has When he opens his mouth I hear nothing that makes me like him.

But the kid is a f.... wizard inside the ring there is no denying that , he is simply a level above the rest.
I also think that pac is perfect for his counter right , and combined with speed and reflexes I see a one sided beat down with mayweather as the winner

[hugh grant]

So JMM has more skills than Pac, but Pac is still a greater fighter with a better resume. So Floyd has more skills than Pac, and again Pac is the greater fighter with the better resume.

Floyd is in the same boat as JMM as regards comparing him to Pac. IM sure Floyd could give Pac a good workout just like JMM did. Difference is JMM can get in the ring with Pac without accusing him of being on PEDS.

Mayweather's a technical genius, but he's no warrior. Never was, never will be. I don't see him weathering Pacquiao's storm as well as Marquez did. Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is still an interesting fight that could go either way. Triangle theories are ******ed.

[pasawayako]

Pac will erase that 0 no doubt about that, if floyd thinks that he can beat pac the fight would have happened years ago but floyd just keep going on a vacation.
