Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostAlthough they're both counterpunchers, Floyd and JMM have very different fighting styles. JMM has had success with Pac because JMM isnt afraid to step in the line of fire in order to land something. Floyd on the other hand fights extremely cautious. Just look at thier 4 fights. You can make an argument for who won the first 3 and we all know who won the 4th, but one thing that cant be disputed is that even in thier 4 fights JMM took more damage than Pac did. Knocked down 5 times in 4 fights. Suffered a broken nose twice, etc. Floyd would never commit to his offense vs Pac the way JMM did.

Originally posted by richardt View PostThat's not my take. I believe it comes down to the simplest things. Both Mayweather and Pac have played the Prima Donna roles in talks and negotiations over the years and between their egos and the egos of their management/promoters, a fallout was the result. You can easily tell which fans aren't biased because they don't railroad the blame to just one side. Anyone who thinks only one guy is to blame, is flat out biased.

Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostPac is still a bigger star and draw today than Floyd was at the time he faced and had to bow to Oscars demands. If you look at thier total ppv #'s, Floyd only leads Pac by about 500k buys which can all change with 1 fight. You cant compare Pac's status to that of Martinez who was never really a draw or Floyd who wasnt much of a draw himself prior to facing Oscar.

Everyone knows Floyd is scared of losing to Pac. Former pros, trainers, real boxing fans etc. Everyone.
Even at this stage where I think Floyd would be the slight* favourite, he won't take the risk. 5 years ago Pac would've beaten Floyd for sure, now I think it's 55/45 in favour of Floyd, but he wants to wait longer, the longer they wait, the more the tide turns in Floyd's favour. He's waiting until Pac is on a crutches.Last edited by John Locke; 06-27-2014, 10:14 AM.

Same old things....Arum wants to control the fight. Arum like Pacquiao gotta give in to the demands or no fight....simple as that.
