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

[Rath]

The PED accusations, whether we believe he did or did not, will affect Pacquiao's legacy.

30-40 yrs from now there will be a new generation of boxing enthusiast they will be more informed than us. there will be books and news about who juices and who are not people in the know will talk.

Then either Pac will be vindicated or exonerated

the accusation today will never be the basis of judgement in the future

It will only be remembered in so far as an attempt of Floyd to taint Pac's legacy. It was also the first of the many ever changing and uncompromising demands Floyd's camp made to avoid the fight. In any case, too much greatness they won't even mention that. If I'm alivr in 100 years I'llbump this post for you.

When Pac comes up in convo all I hear now is about how Marquez knocked him out....that's it. Only on these forums do I hear otherwise

****** universe need to buy more PPV's

When its all said and done mayweather will be well off, one of the most accomplished fighters ever....love him or hate him he is a legend...I've never saw an athlete with detractors who are so emotionally involved.


Facts.... Never lost in his prime, best of his era, beat more top ten contenders and champs than his contemporaries, no amount of disrespect can change the truth

In all honesty, the drug testing was the only demand. Pac could've erased any doubt about him being dirty if he would've taken the test. The Mayweather's weren't the only ones saying Pac may possible be on peds.

Hey im sure the people of Manila thanks those boxers for gracing them with their color.

They didn't grace them with their color, they graced them with one of the greatest boxing events in the history of boxing.

No it won't...People will respect Manny cuz he was a real fighter who was knocked out and came back to win fights

You clearly around non boxing fans....any real boxing fan who been around the sport remb. Manny against the 3 HOF mexicans, going from a one punch fighter to a complete fighter...

And even regarding that KO....
That fight won Round of the year, Fight of the year, KO of the year

The perception is pacquaio took more risks because he was off an underdog til casual fans saw him fight also the 2 earlier losses didn't help. Also his fights are more competitive. He outdid most expectations which makes a good story, america eats it up.

Mayweather on the other hand was ordained to be great. I'm from ga and when the Olympics were here I heard a lot about mayweather and saw him fight. I along with my friends knew he had the potential to be great. Like Jones most his biggest fights were routs and people can't relate to not struggling just all wins.floyd beat a hall of famer in his 18th fight n the two best at 130 in his era corrales n g
Hernandez, beat the best lightweight of his era JLC, best jww in hatton, best ww who was Mosley when he came back and won the lineal title twice, at 154 all his fights were huge cotto, odlh, and canelo who all may be hall of famers.



He proved he is the best from 154 down like he said he was in 04 when he was calling everyone out.



You gotta be I'll informed to say he took no risks when he only fought 47 fights and 22 are mainly lineal title wins and defenses and he had beat the most champions, contenders and hall of famers of his era. He knows that the PAC fight will seal the deal on his career, if they fight and he wins their is no perceived threats left
