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

[Beercules]

Frauds going to get beat up by a NATURAL southpaw, Guerrero is right hand dominant as well as Ortiz.

Zab dropped Floyd

This will look worse than the Maidana beating.

[feroth]

lol Bob is such a joke, Maidana had EARLY success because he swings wild looping punches and he throws them from up close where he can also smother counters, and that only lasted until round 6 or 7 before Floyd made the adjustment...Manny on the other hand throws STRAIGHT punches from way outside which is why he gets countered so much by guys like Bradley and Marquez and Morales, and a handful of other fighters who have also made him look bad but just didn't beat him because they weren't able to hang physically.

Floyd is not giving grounds to no fighter as far as athletic ability and speed and stamina go and he's a on another level as far as counter punching, ring IQ and boxing ability are concerned so if you thought Marquez and Bradley made Manny look bad just watch what Floyd does to this kid...and that was Bradley swinging for the fences that was making pac look like a fool too, he's not the same fighter he used to be and the fighter he used to be would have still taken a clear L to Floyd

why FM picked the strategy 2b on the ropes so much I don't know but in a rematch I think it will b more like the last 4/5 rounds w/the way FM boxed...I had it 116-112...let's hope that judge pernick doesn't get another chance, sorry, IMO it was not a draw...

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[/QUOTE

Yeah right... Mayweather just lost to Maidana the same way just won with your post. Both are only in your delusional mind.

when did manny ever agree to blood testing when the fight was on the table he seemed to agree to a lot of things once the fight was not gonna happen

i think he was tired after one round of holding off maidana i think avoiding all those punches tired him and thats why fight went the way it did. He does say to his dad hes tired already after the first round

[antrecasner]

maidana is currently number 4 p4 and number 2 welterweight. not mentioning fighter of the decade and number 2 pvp draw. off course he will do better than pacquiao. if pacquiao belongs to top 10 p4p and the been the main feature in at least 2 pvp then he deserve the fight. but there are almost 10 welterweight at got a better resume than pacquaio. manny is slow and got limited skills compared to maidana.

I'm talking about the comparison in fighting styles. Arum says Floyd won't fight Manny cause of the styles of himself and Maidana, I'm saying they fight nothing alike.

Why are you telling pure lies? He did no such thing.

You're quoting this wrong. Mayweather Sr. said that Maidana was already tired after one round.

[beatnutts]

Some of you guys will continue to hate on Mayweather no matter what. Most boxing experts believe Floyd won and why shouldn't they believe that? Floyd landed at a higher rate, landed more punches and landed a large majority that were much cleaner than Maidana. There were times when Floyd even stood in front of Maidana and out fought him in the inside. At times during the fight did Maidana use his strength to push Floyd to the ropes? Of course he did but that's no surprise since he out weighted Floyd by 17 pounds on fight night. He landed some good body punches but so did Floyd and towards the end of the fight, Maidana was the one that looked more hurt from the body shots not Floyd.

Then oh well. The next generation are so this circus has run it's course. Time to get excited for future

Exactly. Im so happy I am a boxing fan and only care about the fights that happen in the ring. I swear, once the first negotiations went down the drain, I did not care about whether it happened or not. If they fight, cool, if they dont fight, cool. Plenty of boxing still comes on to quinch my thirst.
