Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Dares Mayweather, Says Marquez Shot Lucky

[BoxingFollower]

Number 5 vs Number 3, yet one is a future hall of famer with a vast array of experience and credibility, the other is Andre Berto, the king gatekeeper to Floyd Mayweather.

I'm sure most would of chosen Mosley. Mosley performance in his last fight was actually quite good also, by the way.

That's JUST the ESPN rankings, they had Mosley ranked as the Number 5 WW.
All the other major rankings, Boxrec, Foxsports and etc had Mosley ranked at number 9.

So Pac had much more better fighters to fight and he took the easiest, simple, just admit it.

At the time, Mosley was less risky than a young Andre Berto, nevermind the other top guys that was calling him out.

[johnm is...]

I still believe this fight will happen and we will still lose our **** when it does.

You're probably right. Pacquiao is only a single win over Rios (LOL) away from being shoved right back down our throats.

Andre Berto

You for real son?

Guy sucks man..

Better than fighting Mosley at that point in his career.

I think Pacquiao will end his last 4 fights with Top Rank like this..........

Rios in Fall 2013, Bradley and Marquez rematches in 2014, and Alvarado in Spring 2015.

Than he fights Floyd in Fall 2015 for Floyd's last Showtime fight on his deal and Manny's last fight of his career, his first fight without Arum.

I'm calling it.

I still say the only reason Floyd and Manny haven't already fought is one simple reason.......Bob Arum. Both Floyd and Manny have flipped on what they would or wouldn't do given testing and money, whatever, yada yada yada......but in the end, it's the relationship between Arum and Floyd as to why it hasn't happened. Same thing with Margarito in 2006 and Cotto in 2007-2008. The second Cotto became free from Arum, boom, he fought Mayweather.

In the end Manny took 2 of the WORST fights that a P4P King should never take, and majority of the media allowed him to get away with it.

At no point should he have fought Margarito and Mosley at those times in their careers.
And then you had the Manny fans saying that "Manny fought for legacy and not for money"

Bob Arum comes out a few days later : Mosley brings the most money, who is Andre Berto?

Freddie Roach : Margarito brings out the most money "who is Sergio"

That's the thing, people praised Manny for not fighting for Money when he was no different than Mayweather.

If somehow Bradley gets pass Marquez. I have no problem sticking my neck out and saying Bradley earns a HONEST SD, no controversy, no issues of robberies..a legit decision over Pacquiao.

Bradley in the eyes of most people won 4-5 rounds in the Pac fight, with Pac being on the decline and Bradley being accustomed to Pac's style, he might just get a UD.

I could never understand why people criticized Mayweather for fighting Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto, and now Guerrero when he did, all top ranked fighters and legit opponents.....but than somehow turned a blind eye to Manny fighting Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez 3 when he did.

I will never let those morons live that down.

[Dagomba]

Here we go again...

The ship has sailed, move on, forget about it.

I still think this fight can happen next year but it lost a lot of the drama. Plus Pacquiao will be damaged goods by the time he fights two more times.

[tachie83]

The GOAT has spoken

And I don't even count that fight cuz Marquez was on that ****

Lmfao!! Then don't count pacs. Titles cause he was on that ****!!!! Man you must be Jinkee Pacquiao or wish you were!!!

Exactly, remember after Ortiz beat Berto and everyone was saying how great of a legit fight Ortiz vs Pacquiao would be if they fought.
And all of a sudden Ortiz turned into a bum when he signed to fight Mayweather.

Lol it's still in the past threads of boxingscene..hilarious reading those old threads.
