Comments Thread For: Mayweather: The Media Built Manny Pacquiao To My Level

[bizzle113]

You put a lot of thought in that and made some great points. I respect your opinion. But in all honesty, I will never believe that a guy who has been fighting since he was 8 years old and is great at what he does would be scared to fight any man walking around at his weight. I truly believe that Floyd, his dad and his uncle passionately believes that Manny was using peds, so they refused to fight him. Its that simple. Plus Floyd and Arum hate each other. There is nothing hard to understand about that.

Most people with common sense know pac was on ped. If you are clean why would you come up with every excuse in the book for not taking a test. Then you turn down more money then you have every been offered talking about ppv money. When Floyd fought De La Hoya he was the ppv king and Floyd took only 25mil home. He did what he had to do to get the fight. But i will agree the fight was not made b/c of 2 main reasons. Floyd refused to do business with Arum and Arum refused to do business with Floyd. As long as Manny stays with Arum the fight will not happen. And with pac re upping with Arum it seems he dont want the fight.

talk is cheap mayweather himself is the one who hyped pac up with all the steroid accusations constantly pointing out how unbelievable what he was doing was. I dont care what happened after but if Pac would of fought floyd around the time he fought cotto when he was fresh he would have beat him with speed power and his southpaw stance. Mayweather was 100 percent shook of that fight so was his father and uncle

Pacquiao's fists brought him to the level he is.

He didn't need gimmicks like Floyd does.

Careful from that glass house there, schnuffty. I'm not the one sucking either fighters balls.....you cannot say the same.

Its not a matter of "sucking off a fighter." Its a matter of knowing WTF you're talking about. Personally, I've been following Floyd and Pac since the late 90s, not the late 00s like most. And that's why I can lay each's career on the table and see that there's absolutely no logical way to argue that Pac is more accomplished.

Ridiculous. Cases can be made for both fighters but more often than not made for Pacquiao, at this point. No point in arguing anyways as their careers aren't over.

That is laughable. Of course it can, has been and in general decided overwhelmingly by the public and boxing fans alike. Up to this point, Manny has accomplished more than Floyd. You dont like it, obviously, and dont agree, but you are a floydiot so nobody would expect you to.

This is ******!! You two was the best in the world. 1 and 2. Everyone wanted to see the fight. He was more of a legit contender than anybody you fought over the last few years bro. Lol looks like Floyd is still annoyed when it comes to Pacquiao even though he got put to sleep already and isn't even in the top 5.

Floyd has built up a huge Cache of Porky Pies, ready to use whenever he needs them.

[Fetta]

LOL 1 mention of Pac by Floyd and the forums blow up! Hah, and people say the Pac vs Floyd hype is over.

Floyd will get no credit for beating this Pac. He just has fans. It will sell yes but that doesnt mean it will not still be called a "cherry pick"

[The Big Dunn]

Why do you doubt it? because you're a big fan. The fact is he did retire when there were great fights out there for him, so no, he didnt prove it in the ring. Both fighters career's had a different trajectory....Manny earnt his spot by what he did in the ring, Floyd walking away when there were real fights and real threats isnt Manny's responsibility. Thats on Floyd.

floyd earned his spot as well. its just the only time a certain segment of posters admit that is when they are arguing with a poster that is pumping up Broner.

floyd "retired" when he did and that inactivity was one of the reasons he wasn't voted fighter of the decade award. we agree thats on him. but like I told Moderntalking-Karl Malone has 2 MVP's when Jordan was playing- voters had their reasons but that doesn't change the fact Jordan was and is better.
