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

[PunchyPotorff]

Here comes the Floydie Fan Bwaaay Squad. As for JMM, yeah, Pac got careless in a fight he was winning, and was KOd. As for Bradley, anyone who doesn't think that was a highway robbery is a fool. As for type jobs, plenty of those to go around. We heard the Showtime commentators reciting one this past weekend regarding Boner. Yeah there's been some hype for Pac AND Floydie. Big deal. Anyone who thinks everything coming out of a hype machine is reality, needs to start watching professional wrestling exclusively.

Here we go again, while Floyd was out on vacation, Manny was out fighting twice a year at the highest level possible. Now Manny suffers a set back and Floyd comes out of hiding, go figure

[Bolo Punch]

Can't be on top forever? Tell that to Floyd and Anderson Silva. Someone's feelings are hurt.

People decline at different rates. Pacquiao's style is a lot more physically demanding than Floyd's. he's a power fighter who engages in wars, Floyd is about finesse and taking the least amount of punishment possible. It's not rocket science.

Imagine the first 5 rounds of the Judah vs Mayweather fight, but for an entire 12 rounds.

Paq had a real shot at taking over Mayweather. A real, legitimate shot.

It's pathetic the fight never took place. Now it doesn't even matter though. The sooner Mayweather retires, the better. Things will go back to normal I think. Fights that need to get made will get made and we can see who's really who in the sport.

First it was 3 rounds, then it was 4 rounds, now its 5 rounds Judah won...in a year it will Judah was robbed...smh

Here I thought MAnny PAcquiao was actually going thru the giants at welterweight and looking good doing so, gosh I was fooled! Both these men are all time greats period....pacquiao for challenging the toughest even after they prime , and mayweather for making most or all of his opponents look like amateurs....pacquiao was(is) great but realistically mayweather would of out thought during a whole fight...and picked his shots. Pacquiao is good at ****ing and somewhat countering.. Mayweather won't approach a ****er but wait to counter...what has been pacquiao s weakness, a counterpuNcher.

No Manny's weakness is a counterpuncher who's willing to go through hell to beat him, that Floyd isn't and he would have wilted under the pressure on being hit over and over again.

Yep, but the 2008-9 pacman that has ubeliveble speed and power, still kicks your ass son.

Pacmans style is one that dossent age well, and now he is way past his it

[hectari]

If Floyd knew Pacman wasn't as good as the media claimed, why did he say Pacquiao was the second best fighter behind him and praised Pacman back in 2005 saying he was a beast and that Morales would get knocked out in the rematch becauwse he would be facing a fresher version of Pacquiao?

Floyd is full of crap, he knows the style that will give him trouble, this is why he didn't want to fight Pacman he is hard to time, and we saw what a shot cotto did to Floyd, he was popping Floyd with left hands busting his nose up and Floyd said it was his toughest fight, Floyd had moments were he couldn;t read Cotto when Cotto started jumping on his toes and using movement, imagine a fast footed Pacquiao with in and out bursts like the one that fought Oscar?

Typical Floyd, he said the reason he is fighting Canelo is because the fans wanted it, well the fans wanted him to fight Pacquiao but he never did.

Here is a video of Evander holyfield discussing Floyd vs. Pacquiao back in 2009

I guess the Media gave him those 4 lineal titles, something that no boxer has ever done before including Floyd

Manny will be more remembered for being knocked out by Juan Marquez than anything he has ever achieved in his career. First he loses to Bradley then in his next fight he brutally knocked out. I think this speaks volumes to how overrated Pacquaio was. He will never be the same fighter again.

Floyd > Pacquaio

[jai mari078]

while pac did earn his fame, the hype to beat floyd was huge there for awhile because pac was stroming though the margs and mosleys, but when he went back to boxers like marquez and bradley it showed that pac cant handle boxers/thinkers. pac hasnt looked good since the mosley fight and even then he couldnt finish a surviving mosley so i doubt the floyd fight happens, it wont sell no where near as high as this canelo fight

Please tell me you didn't just use Bradley with a straight face!!!!!!!!!!!!!
