Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. Rips Pacquiao: He is Not Relevant Now

[ShoulderRoll]

You do realize boxing had been around hundreds of years before these guys were born right?

If you want to move the goal posts that's fine but that wasn't your original argument.

You said "pick up some black and white footage tell me them dudes were styling." You've now been given several examples of boxing stylists that can be seen in black and white footage.

I've read about the fighters that matter, trust. I don't need no book as I've read them all and no with what I've seen that Manny is no brawler. Watch the 2nd Marquez fight or the Diaz fight if you don't believe. That's not brawling.

So instead of further educating yourself on a sport you love you'd rather stand with the I've heard or read about those who matter? LMAO...ok. Well let me tell you bro, if you actually read what boxing was really like back in the day you'd learn a thing or to just like everyone else who picks up the history books. I learned gladiators were the original WWE...all fake but didn't think so before I read it for myself. It's all good...we''ll end the discussion on that. I prefer a good brawl you prefer two dudes dancing and toying with each other...to each their own.

Here we go...I don't even bother arguing with you. Your style of arguing is going through an entire post finding one line and disregarding everything else that was said. I stated what my flavor is in boxing, i've not disrespect anyone's flavor in boxing. End of story. You think folks were styling since day one in boxing I disagree..the history books agree with me...the footage agrees with me. You named guys after 1900 which is fine but those aren't the early days of boxing son..history is a lot longer than you are acknowledging. Never mind you were wrong about Johnson considering he was a brawler for more than half of his career.

I appreciate both schools. I bet you consider Lamotta, Gavilan and Basilio brawlers

Any fool can make a bet based on an assumption...i'll leave it at that. Good luck to Matthyse in his fight, i do want him to win.

Wow, he ripped Pacquiao and Marquez. What did Marquez do to get insulted like that?

The sad news is, 50 years from now, the media and probably casual boxing fans, will probably only remember how Pacquiao tore through the ranks while Floyd ducked Pacquiao.

Time will be even kinder to Pacquiao because no one really expected much from him from the start and overachieved, while Floyd, arguably the best fighter ever, will probably be thought of as someone who underachieved because he never fought Pacquiao. Everyone fought Pacquiao, except for Floyd.

Floyd could have beat him easily too. But he didn't want to find out.

Despite Pacquiao getting knocked out, he's every bit as relevant to boxing as Mayweather. Which makes all of the insults from the Mayweather camp really funny.

Pac legacy will include avoiding tests that you can count on. But hey its their legacies not mine
