First off, Im an admitted Phl0mo
Floyd Mayweather
Good
-Can be argued to be the greatest skilled boxer ever
-Is the best defensive fighter ever(Only Whitaker can make an acceptable argument)
Brings attention to boxing and helps keep it mainstream
-Fights champions or ex champs at their very best, usually coming off the biggest victories of their career
-one of the most disciplined fighters ever, the man defies age and people never even bring up the mans age because hes still so sharp
-started from the "boring boxer who couldn't fill arenas" and built himself to the highest drawing boxer ever
Bad
-Should have made the Pacquiao fight, no matter what when the time was perfect(2009)
-Never lives up to his potential in fights, does "enough to win"
-Never knocks nobody out, you expect to watch a 12 round fight with no surprise(hatton was kinda a fluke but roflmao@the ring post doing the most damage)
-Low ass punch output
-idk if he meant it, but he did say he doesn't fight for "legacy", he fights for money. I understand the money, but to not fight for legacy at all with his skills is disappointing as hell
-Fighting twice a year now, but was only fighting once a year and taking long ass layoffs when he was in his prime
Pacquiao
-One of the most exciting offensive fighters in the history of the sport
-Probably the most dramatic skill improvements in the history of boxing, dude used to just come out like a demon but he turned into a VERY skilled and versatile fighter
-Also helps keep boxing in the mainstream, his true life story is the ideal example of "The American Dream"
-Put on one of the best/most shocking performances ever vs. Cotto(DLH was a great showing too but a lot of ppl like me knew he was gonna wipe him out)
-Probably the most humble fighter ever, idk any other boxer that could've handled vs. Bradley the way he did
-Should've made the Mayweather fight happen, no matter what
-Should've taken the tests just to prove he wasn't guilty, all he did was give us *****s ammo to further believe the su****ion(I do believe he was on something at some point in time)
-Has the potential to be on the same level as mayweather as far as control of career but is allowing himself to be pimped by Bob Arum who EVERYONE knows is not doing him right like he should
- Since he entered his prime and got stardom, hehe damnnear always picks opponents coming off losses and when he didn't, he fought Marquez in a fight where many thought he lost, and then he lost to Tim Bradley. Rios, Margarito, Cotto, Mosley, Clottey all coming off losses
-Got KTFO by Marquez in a top 5 most devastating KO
MFer PLEASE
-Mayweather "pacquiao your next" then saying "I didn't say that" Mfer Please
-Pacquiao saying he couldn't take tests because he was scared of needles - MFer Please
Mayweather saying he fought Cotto like that "to be entertaining" - MFer Please
Pacquiao saying Marquez hit him with a "lucky punch" - MFer Please
Mayweather saying he didn't know how people scored Mayweather-Castillo 1 close- MFer Please
Pacquiao saying he believes strongly that he won Marquez 1-3 clearly - MFer Please
GOOD STUFF
-Mayweather giving Castillo a rematch
-Pacquiao fighting the best best possible opponent other than Mayweather right now
-Mayweather fighting Canelo, a real threat
-Pacquiao fighting Bradley, a real threat
-Mayweather fighting Mosley when it was strongly hyped
-Pacquiao getting rid of Mayweathers opponents in a better fashion
DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE
-Mayweather did not duck Cotto, Mosley, or Margarito in their primes. Arum held back Cotto, Mosley actually ducked Mayweather until wifey emptied the bank account, and Margarito was just a fight ALOT people wanted. He fought for the lineal title vs. Baldi and Judah who is another fight ALOT of people wanted
-Pacquiao is not responsible for the horrible selection of opponents, all the marquez rematches or catchweights. I believe strongly it is ALL Arum and Pacquiao would rather fight the best and most challenging fights.
THE GOD HONEST TRUTH[/B]
Neither one of them ever wanted to fight each other. They both know the threat of each other and know that once one loses, they will lose ALOT OF STEAM. It's one loss neither could come back from, because it was SOOO HYPED. BUT, I believe Mayweather and Pacquiao already have a secret agreement that they will be each other's last fight. They have the perfect rivalry story, it is almost as if it was written.
Thoughts....no bashing, no trolling...just honest feedback
