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

[junior gong]

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

You will be remembered as the guy who has copped several bans for racism, mainly manifested by posting in a ******ed mock asian accent. Standard stuff for floyd's fanbase, sadly.

It's obvious Pac will be more respected.
Pac is the most popular and well respected athlete in his own country!
While Floyd can't even go into Sak's Fifth and use their bathroom.

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.

You said "He was not ready to move up, but of course he would be willing" Nice try but no cigar. If Floyd would have moved up and won a couple of fights there it would have forced the issue. Anyone but you understood that one. Instead, Floyd called out people who were several weight divisions higher than him because he knew that the fights will not be made. If they would respond to Floyd's bluff then Floyd would be changing the demands until the last minute even though everything was agreed to by the his opponent.

Again, that was not serious because Floyd was shouting from the cheap seats where nobody cared .......

De La Hoya: Pacquiao Has More Respect Than Mayweather

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya admits that a few years ago he would have quickly picked Manny Pacquiao to defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr.

That is no longer the case. In the opinion of De La Hoya, Pacquiao's physical abilities gave declined quicker than Mayweather's - which De La Hoya attributes to the many tough fights which Pacquiao took part in.

De La Hoya faced both fighters in the ring, dropping a twelve round split decision to Mayweather in 2007 and then getting stopped by Pacquiao in eight rounds in 2008.

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.

Sounds like Pacquiao now. Isn't he in financial turmoil? Asking your promoter for a 100 grand advance to gamble doesn't sound very rich to me.

How in the hell are you going to change history? Floyd was chasing Mosley for a fight and Oscar as well which are both documented. Floyd wanted the fight when he was at 130 and Shane at 135 but Shane jumped to WW to get Oscar. Shane was the one with the toothache when asked would he like to fight Mayweather. You should not be taken serious because you think that you can go against what actually happened and are solid facts.

What was well document? That Floyd said something or that Floyd did something? Yes Floyd talked about it but what he did was remain in the lower weight divisions. If Floyd had moved up to WW when they were there or moved up to JMW when they were there, cool but Floyd waited until they were out of prime.

Also, that incident about the tooth ache. It was HBO interview after Mosley's 2nd fight that year. Mosley had said, "Floyd you want me lets do it a few months later". Floyd said "NO". Like Mosley said, he fought just a few months after Floyd vs Baldomir.
Floyd said he was ready to retire. Think about that one real hard.
If you are about to retire, would you prefer to fight Baldomir in November or wait for Jan-Feb to fight Mosley? Who would you want in your resume as you prepare for your retirement? Be objective please!!! Did Floyd REALLY want Mosley? NO!!!


Talk is just talk. Especially when it comes out of Floyd's mouth. Actions speak louder ......

Floyd is respected in every country and is regarded as the no.1 p4p fighter in the world. Floyd doesn't give a **** azz if they like him or not in the phillipines the only place in the world that likes pac.
