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

Well its a couple ways to look at it. Triangle theories don't always apply. But, the things Pac struggles with with JMM Floyd does better than JMM. Plus, floyd is bigger, faster, stronger, HITS HARDER, and about 10x harder to hit. Plus, Pac would have a height and reach disadvantage to deal with in Floyd.

Like I said, the bigger, stronger, faster just does not always equate......too many differences that create a chemistry of their own. History is littered with the examples of A-B-C--C beats A that shows that the dynamics are a science of their own, or lack there of. Mansions were bought and Bancruptcies were filed on folks betting tons of money on that.

But if you have a problem with a certain style and a potential opponent utilizes the style but with added attributes like speed, power and accuracy defense, footwork, better balance and a longer reach- its reasonable for people to assume a similar outcome. If you can't bench 400 lbs you probably can't bench 500 lbs either.

BAD science!Then going by that if Mayweather was ROCKED by Corley and Mosley, then he would get knocked out by Pac who hits harder. And if Rigo was hurt by Merroquin, he would get knocked cold by Donaire. TOO MANY DYMANICS to say if one guy is better at some things, he wins.

Floyd didn't win titles below 130 because he started his career at 130 genius. And when exactly did I try and dismiss Pac's accomplishments below 130? If anything, I'm saying his accomplishments at 47 and 54 are exaggerated because he gets a lotta credit for fighting all these much bigger guys when the reality is, it wasn't unprecedented. You know, because Floyd's jump in weight was pretty much the same. I seriously think you're mentally challenged.

You just can't stop contradicting yourself. You're telling me these guys made the same jump despite one starting at 108 and another at 130. What he did in the amateurs doesn't count man. Arreola was a welter in the amateurs. This is the pros, get it?

Good post... you cant bench 400.. you probably cant bench 500... Pac has problems with counter-punchers and Floyd is the best counter-puncher.. this has nothing to do with triangle theories...

Wrong! Going by that, then if Mayweather was ROCKED by lighter hitting Corely and Mosley, Pac knocks Mayweather out.

Exactly my friend!! just so happens that I said the same thing..

You failed too!!! Then that means Pac who hits harder than Mosley and Corley, knocks Mayweather out because if they could ROCK him with less power, Pac toasts Mayweather.

Mosley hits harder than Pacquiao IMO

Mosley hits harder than Pacquiao IMO

Not as a whole. Pac has a greater chance because he throws volumes of power punches, Mosley picks his spots. And when mosley is drained by the 5th round, Pac is just warming up with his power shots.

If Shane fought Floyd when Shane was Pac's age I'd give Shane a great chance to KO Mayweather.

Shane hit Floyd about as hard as you can hit someone (Floyd unprotected, not looking) and Floyd only buckled.

Because of Pac 2 successive loses in his 2 last outings, Floyd have every right to tell what he wanted to tell particularly in criticizing Pac hypes in comparing to his level. Pac who is riddled with so many activities outside his boxing world at this point of time, Floyd in my opinion could demolish Pac, unless Pac prioritized boxing more than anything else, Floyd is the true P4P today and no one could dispute this at this time. But Floyd wrong when he said Pac was not his level, because the time Pac dominating anybody else in WW like a beast, in my opinion, Pac could demolish Floyd if he had tried blocking Pac along the way.

May not equate, but when making a prefight prediction, which is all we're doing, it all helps me to make Floyd a solid favorite. Nothing more, nothing less.
