Comments Thread For: Keep the Faith: Mayweather-Pacquiao Will Come in 2012

[Sugar Q]

I have no comment about the predictions; I will say one thing, though, about what you wrote about Amir Khan:

"Though his December 2011 loss to Lamont Peterson was seen by many eyes as dubious, it nonetheless did relieve the classy Brit of his 140-pound titles and at least temporarily stunted his growth as a rapidly rising commodity on credible P4P lists."

From what I have seen and read about Khan (and his people), I find nothing classy about him. Or were you being sarcastic?

Not only is Con not classy but he's not getting Peterson any time soon and no way is he beating Bradley. People overlooked Peterson and overrated Con and we saw the result of that. I thought Ortiz beat Peterson and the Ortiz Peterson fought wasn't the animal Berto or Floyd fought. If Peterson fight Ortiz again he would get stopped and so would Con so comeback of the year isn't gonna happen.

Oh yea how many boxing analists, writers, or fighters have actually gone on the record saying Manny would beat Floyd? Who? Becasuse I dont remember that many. And im not talking about ******* Nation. 9 out of 10 are picking Floyd. Vegas is picking Floyd. People who are nuetral and have no ties to either fighter are picking Floyd. So I say again what planet have you been living on?

And they are???

leonthegee - Pacquiao vs. Jr. will never be inked; not on May 5th, not in Nov. 2012. We all know who is to blame for that - Not Pacquiao, Not Jr. (because they both have acknowledge that they both want the fight to happen, even Pacquiao said that he'll take the lesser cut of the purse). Everyone all knows that ARUM is the stumbling block for all these years. Who cares who is picking who...Arum will do his best to make sure that this mega fight never happens.

Most people would pick Floyd over Manny. What planet have you been living on?

leonthegee - btw, not only did Roger but Jr.'s own father (Sr.) said that Jr. needs more fights after Ortiz before he takes on Pacquiao. So Vegas may pick Jr., but Roger and Sr. doesn't want Jr. to fight Pacquiao till after more fights.

Roger and Sr. said that ya right brother. Forgive me if I dont take your word on that. If I wasnt having such a good day id call you a straight up liar.

“Well I wouldn’t think he would fight Pacquiao right after fighting Victor Ortiz. I mean it would be crazy for Floyd to go in the ring with Pacquiao after fighting Victor Ortiz! Floyd needs fights. He needs to be active,” Roger said and added, “Don’t get me wrong, Floyd is the greatest fighter out there, period. Right now in today’s boxing Floyd is the greatest fighter out there. But at the same time I don’t think that Floyd can do this. Floyd needs tune-ups like anybody else. It ain’t no different than any other fighter if you are going to compete with a guy who has been active all the time.” Roger Mayweather

“I don’t care who it is, man. Anybody that stays out of a ring, I don’t give a damn who they is…it’s something to be concerned about, anybody being out a length of time, because boxing, man, you have to, in order to stay crisp and sharp, you gotta be sparring and stuff..It is a deal where he might have to fight a couple of tune-ups.”

it doesnt matter now, its nearly 3 years too late. it wont be anywhere near as good a fight as it could have been.

[bojangles1987]

Yeah, keep pretending this fight will mean anything if it ever does happen.

[Boxing's Truth]

I've always envisioned Pacroid trying to be busy against Floyd and missing a whole hell of a lot. Missing punches and frustration tires you out. I can see how Floyd landing clean hard shots against a frustrated and tired Pacroid can end up in a late stoppage by Freddy throwing in the towel.

Regardless, the only way I see Pacroid beating Floyd is by knockout in the first two rounds. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY that if this fight drags on into the latter round I see Pacroid getting stronger and Floyd falling apart. *******s can't even see that happening. Floyd wins the fight however you draw it up.

What is an "analist"?

Freudian slip there, guy?
