Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Mayweather Doesn't Believe He'll Beat Pacquiao

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Just like his own long-awaited fight against Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield believes Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao eventually will fight each other.

Holyfield figures Mayweather is similar to Tyson in that the reason he has yet to agree to oppose Pacquiao is because he isn’t completely confident in his ability to beat the defensively flawed, hard-hitting Pacquiao.

I'm not sure if this is actually the case but it sure seems like it.

Given all the BS obstacles Mayweather's making Manny go through, I have no reason to believe Holyfield isn't right to say this. I still think Floyd would win if they ever do fight.

I just think it's a risk MW is willing or ready to take just yet.

Inb4 Holyfield is accused of being a deranged bum.

He sure doesn't, if he did he would have fought him a long time ago.

I'm not so sure. Pacquiao is a lot like Marcos as far as awkwardness goes and combined with his sharpness, workrate and pop, I would still make that a pretty even fight, even now.

I'll tell you what I do know, if May really wants the fight, he could make it happen. I believe in 2014 Mayweather is holding up the show. I don't give a **** about previous negotiations. I'm talking about RIGHT NOW.

For whatever reasons...

I know Holyfield, he picked up the phone and called you saying Manny giving him all kinds of nightmares.

You know Mayweather had to put up with all of ODH demands. If Pacquioa wants to fight Mayweather he knows what to do. Give in to all of Mayweathers demands and take the money thats offered. 40 million was way more than what he ever got from Arum!! He'll never get 50/50 split on the Mayweather fight.
