Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather at Distinct Disadvantage With Pacquiao

[Outwest Exp 355]

Nyaa.... Offers & demands are designed to be declined. You know that. Lets not go into details cause we are both tired for that. The difference between Floyd & Pac is that, Floyd is his own boss he makes his own fight. Pac is just a fighter, he has a promoter to arrange in everything. WE cannot force Pac to leave Arum just for Floyd.

That might be the case now but that wasn't always the case. I think the 2009 offer was more than fair. And to pass and fight Clottey proves to me they were never all that interested in making the fight. I'm not saying PAC. I'm saying Arum. Being a business owner myself I actually understand Arums point of view.

I wonder what Bob would say if his fighter was FMJ. When will people like Arum realise no one cares about there opinion when its completely biased.

And just like that Manny is an inside fighter who's capable of smothering his opponents counter-punching space and using his weight to push his opponents around.

Or posses a punch to get around the shoulder, Pacquiao doesn't even have a lead right hook to do that.

[Frank Ducketts]

Floyd made it clear that he is not interested in fighting Manny.

Marque made it clear who was better between him and Pac.

[Hook-Right]

Arum's right as usual

Look at Floyd when he was on the ropes against Maidana, Maidana was throwing body shots and some were landing but Floyd would just tie him up and even tho he had one hand free, the ref always broke it up

Now imagine Pacquiao having Floyd on the ropes. 10 punch combinations in less than 2 seconds. The human brain can't deal with all that information at one time. And Pacquiao is quick on his feet and can avoid clinches. Floyd would get stopped right there

I don't even think Floyd can get past Rios so him beating Pacquiao is ridiculous

You work for Top Rank right? Or are you just a lifelong admirer of Arum?

Pacquiao couldn't even drop Bradley when he was against the ropes, and Tim goes down more than a Kardashian.

Yeah, that's business conflict. Arum's position in protecting his investment is natural & I understand that. However, I cant fully agrees on Floyd for having so much demand. If he really believes he can beat Pac (W/c I think also), all he have to do is fight him. Hitting 2 birds at one stone. He beat his rival & he beat the prize fighter/superstar of the man he hated most.

You should be kicked in the head repeatedly until you stop moving for your P4P list alone. Never mind the ****** **** you just posted.

Why do you let him get under your skin?

[turnedup]

I'll say the same thing I said about Oscar...you've put enough into the sport to have a right to have an opinion that even if disagreed with should be respected as you are entitled to have it.

Who here believes that Manny fights anything like Maidana is nuts. Maidana is a rugged fighter with size advantage. Also, he has an ok jab. Manny is a 1-2 then straight left fighter. Also, I am going to go on a limb and say Manny gets knocked out by Maidana overhand right. Manny gets picked apart by Mayweather. Maidana game plan is to fight dirty and rough you up. Manny is one of the cleanest fighter in the ring; the guy barely knows how to clinched.

Umm Mayweather just lost to Maidana...so unless Pac is fighting Marquez..umm I haven't seen anyone else give Pac trouble since Morales when Pac had to wear pillows for gloves kind of like Maidana had to wear...

So yes..I'd say Mayweather is a disadvantage hence why he didn't take the fight for a 100 million and even after Pac agreed to do blood-testing...Mayweather made up other excuses..so we know the blood-testing thing was BS
