Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Marquez Debate on Manny Beating Mayweather

[HOLLYW00]

mayweather does not do well against adversity. volume punchers are his weakness and mayweather hasn't fought enough world class southpaw fighters to prove his claim of being the best. as for pacquiao, he's always had to fight bigger orthodox style fighters his entire boxing career and mayweather's style is nothing knew to him, his offense will trump mayweather's defense.. pacquiao believes that mayweather is far easier to hit than everyone else thinks and he's right.

I'm speechless.. you have to get off Pacquiaos nuts and look at it from a boxing fans point of view.. Ain't Pacquiao ever fight a style like Floyd Mayweather, if so please state his name..

I want to punch Stephen A. Smith. I can't imagine a much more annoying person on TV, he has to be the worst personality I've ever seen.

Why even debate this fight will never happen cause Fraud Gayweather is scared to death of it and Fraud won't fight Martinez at 154 either so don't waste your time or your hairline will look like Homer Simpson's lol. That boy scared even 50 Cent called his bluff lol

Pac said it best, Floyd doesnt like volume punchers. Marquez got shut out by mayweather because he tried to counter the best counter puncher in the world. Pac would knock Floyd out

“I want to give a good fight to end the doubts of all fans,” stated the eight-division champion.

Should be : “I want to give a fourth fight to end the doubts of all fans,” stated the eight-division champion.

While Mayweather only needed one fight

If manny's plan to pressure mayweather like hatton, I hope he's prepared to get knocked out like hatton.

You Floyd lovers are talking about Floyd as if he is 28... I can't analyze a fight that can't happen... We can't go back in time and put a 28 year old Floyd against a 26 year old Pac... At 36 years old Floyd has lost a couple of steps, NOBODY can defeat time... Roy Jones would have never lost to the bums he lost to if he was in his 20's with all his reflexes and skill... I believe Ali beats Frazier the first timee without the 3 year lay off and etc... If the fight takes place next year Floyd would be 36 and Manny 34... With reflexes slowing down on both fighter it would come down to power, chin, grit, and heart. Manny KOs Floyd!!! In their late 20's and early 30's Floyd wins a defensive stinker.... At this age Floyd has to fight and during the fight at some point he is going to try and use the speed and reflexes he once had to avoid a punch and when they fail him lights out just like Roy Jones... Cotto would have never busted up a younger Floyd... Not to mention Floyd style is southpaw friendly... He was rocked even in hid 20's by southpaws Chop Chop and Judah.... Sorry Floyd lovers but your boy would be going to sleep!!!!

Sorry but Manny has lost a step or two also. He no longer has the stamina and if he plans on putting pressure all night against Floyd, at this point, he'll be exhausted by the 6th round. Floyd knows how to preserve his energy.

Floyd's an underrated inside fighter. I don't think he'll let Manny get off like he's use too. Manny's best shot is to out work Floyd and win rounds by throwing big combinations, whether or not they're landing.

Hopefully this fight happens though.

Underrated for sure. Imo outside of Ward hes the best inside fighter in the sport. And the best fighter on the ropes and the best ring general in the game.


Seriously Manny will have his work cut out for him 10 fold.

I think it's tough to tell if Floyd's skills have eroded like that. He is fighting more aggressively than he used to in his past 3 fights so yes he may have been hit a lil more than before. If u saw Floyd's sparring session before the the cotto fight, he fought just like he sparred: chilled on the ropes and countered. That was by design. The only punch cotto could hit him with consistently was the jab when which people have always said is Floyd's weakness. Floyd even had his hands down when cotto landed it good. Even With Floyd in his face cotto's connect percentage was still low. Floyd ain't gonna use that roll as much against manny. After Mosley landed his big shot, u saw that left hand guarding his head more. He adjusts and takes away your strength. I want Floyd to go to war and try to knock manny out but he probably won't. You'll see more of the younger Floyd. Like Marquez said, manny chases and loses.
