Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Pacquiao Has More Respect Than Mayweather

[kamikaze_ero]

like roy jones said, floyd is a boring boxer. put the personal aspect aside and pac easily wins the likeability factor hands down. people, in general, always root for the guy who tries to make the fight, not the runner, clincher, potshotter.

i don't even pay attention to the ped accusations. this is the internet age. people were aghast to learn that the accuser turned out to be the guilty juicer, floyd mayweather. usada's rep was tainted beyond repair as well. tygart can't even come out in the open and explain floydweather testing positive 3 times. the usada guy has a lot of things to hide. it's not even whether it's true or not, but how long mayweather had been using peds. he most likely been using peds in his entire boxing career. his gym is no stranger to peds. the strange part is he's still boring to watch.

dis explains why floyd loves usada than any other testing agency.
Floyd controls usada over testing results but can't do it to vada.
Floyd testing 3x with ped was concealed by his fav testing agency.

Sorry but it is a known fact in boxing that Floyd Mayweather chased Oscar and Mosley up to WW to fight them back in the day and Mosley actuallly did not want that fight with Mayweather so you are wrong. Bob Arum ducked the Mayweather fight for Cotto at 140. Even Cotto himself said that the fight was NEVER presented to him from Top Rank so you're wrong again. Here is the thing.... Manny was made to look spectacular and be the greatest through media manipulation and matched fights. Floyd Mayweather is considered great because he has the talent and skills to be considered as such. Is he the greatest of all time? NO..... Greater than Manny Pacquiao, YES.

You are wrong here.
Floyd's talk is making you think that it meant that he wanted to fight prime Oscar and Mosley. Floyd did that with Winky, Manny(YOU ARE NEXT - Later - NEVER SAID THAT) and others too but never fought them when they stepped up and called Floyd out or responded to Floyd's calling.

Here is all the proof that you would need. When Floyd called out Oscar and Mosley, did Floyd jump up to their respective divisions? If he didn't then it was ALL TALK!!!

Cotto: We all know that Arum likes big fights amongst his stable. Arum stated that Cotto was the man that could possibly beat Floyd but not that version of Cotto. Arum said a young Cotto needed to fight often and in another 1 to 1.5 years later that fight would happen. Floyd wanted a greenish Cotto like when he fought Canelo. Beating that version of Cotto wouldn't give Floyd much credit.

Later, when Cotto moved to WW and had just beat Mosley is when Floyd should have wanted that fight. Two undefeated and prime fighters but guess what. Floyd said "I'm not interested"


"Floyd Mayweather is NOT interested in a fight with Cotto 2007-12-16..... Floyd gave his thought on Cotto trying to lure Floyd into a fight...... more importantly, Floyd doesn't feel the fight makes any financial sense at the moment."

pacquiao will be remembered as the guy who gave his soul to arum, where is he now? why not tell arum to make the fight second of may?? Exactly the little bi*** is getting butt fisted by arum and others like kontz..he admitted it himself..he's a flop prank victim who got nearly killed against JMM

Lol this is not proof, it's just rubbish. Floyd was willing to move up for those fights, he said that. Why in the hell would he move up when they didn't agree to fight him? He was not ready to move up, but of course he would be willing for those big money fights.

pac is nothing but a cheat who didn't want to do drug testing because he didn't want to get caught.respected around the world is Mayweather the no.1 p4p.

MayFloyd Jr < Pacman

Kinda obvious aint it?

Floyd is well known wife beater, who is prone to violent racist outburts. He is a vile and hated person.

Pacquiao is a soft spoken, nice person, who is known for tirelessly working for his people through charity and politics.

Its just stating the obvious Pac is more respected. Thats like saying water is wet.

[QballLobo]

Pac will be more respected because he will be President of the Phillipines in the next 10 years while Floyd will most likely blow through all of his money and still have troubles with the law just like his Daddy and Uncle Roger.
