Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Gives Take on Mayweather-Pacquiao Speed

[wlliam]

Im pretty confident you see a guy beating slow drained fighters and shot fighters and think the speed difference in those fights is going to translate the same against a prime really fast defensive wizard , Manny would be schooled by Floyd 10 yrs ago 5 yrs ago and now .

The trouble is you see a guy beat A and think its going to be the same against B , this is called fan vision which builds hype . .

Floyds a wizard now? 1st time i ever heard that

And when i think 'wizard', i think 'spells' & i realize Floyd cant read let alone spell

Everybody seems to forget that Manny was asleep for a minute in the ring 4 fights ago..Manny couldn't even handle Marquez's counter punching. I think floyd will be fine,Pac might take another nap coming in with those wild combos. A southpaw is a sucker for a right hand...zzzz

Couldnt handle his counterpunching? It took marquez 42 rounds,getting knocked down 6 times,and all the peds and luck he could cram into his body to set up that one punch. Floyd doesnt have the power or the balls to do what marquez did. And pacquiao going to sleep from a floyd punch? Unless floyd suddenly gets an arm transplant from mike tyson,the only way that he putting pacquiao to sleep,is if he pulls some victor ortiz bull****,and hits him with his hands down. By the way,the phillie shell gets cracked by the southpaw straight left. But dont worry,if the fight does get made,we can all watch the woman beater "put pacquaio to sleep"

It's pretty obvious that a few years ago... Manny would have destroyed Floyd... Manny can't get in and out with the same speed and he'll be hit by Floyd's counters now, so Floyd basically waited out Pacquiao at the right time although Manny is still a threat if he trains for speed and he can handle Floyd's power - Manny wins..if Not Floyd wins...

But it was Pacquiao who killed the fight in 2010 by turning down random testing. This has already been confessed to by Roach. So how did Floyd "wait" out Pacquiao when it was Pac that ruined it. . Dont be prematurely cooking up excuses, I dont wanna hear a peep from Pac Turds after Floyd beats the breaks off his as*. Floyd is the one thats older, hes the one that has looked mediocre in his last two fights. Manny looked great vs Algieri, he was as explosive as ever. The momentum heading to May 2 is clearly on Mannys side. So please, no excuses.

In all honesty, Manny has a better chance now than back then. He's not beating a Floyd who had something to prove, of which he did five years ago. Now, i don't care what Floyd says, with each passing fight, he just seems to be cruising and waiting out his retirement.

At least Pac was back up 60 seconds later unlike you, obviously you just woke from that jmm KO punch by talking about it like it just happened. Go troll somewhere else

Marquez clearly won fight three and fight two debatable. With fight one a draw. It didnt take Marquez 42 rounds, it took him having to almost kill Pacquiao to get a win since judges were not gonna do it. And if you accuse Marquez of juicing, I guess karmas a b*itch then since thats what Manny was doing in 2009-2010 and hiding from the world by avoiding random testing.

Floyd doesnt need power to win, he never has. Hes the most accurate puncher in boxing history, laser like precision. And Pacquiaos defense is leaky, its gonna be target practice.

And who the hell has floyd fought...goes both ways, Manny has fought way more better opposition than duckweather, get off his nuts. Manny wont win the fight now but in 09 he had a shot, floyd is gonna use all he can to stay away from him, shoulders, forearms, and more importantly his reach

In fight 1,the judge that scored it a draw only marked 2 knockdowns in the first round,instead of 3,so thats a majority decision for pac. Everyone has their own opinions about fights 2 and 3,so i wont get into that. But what i will get into,was the fact that marquez was on the go go juice. what person at the age of 40,looks more ripped than ever,suddenly develops huge amounts of chest and back acne (late adult puberty?) and out of nowhere develops mysterious knee problems? All of this,after picking up a dude,who was caught red handed giving athletes peds. And one last thing,you said its going to be target practice? Dude,in the rematch,maidana was making "the most accurate puncher in history" miss embarrassing punches,IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. Last time i checked,maidana is no speed freak,or defensive expert,so i think pacquiao is going to be a little harder to find in the ring than you think.

De La Hoya is demanding that Pacquiao must leave Top Rank and surrender all promotional rights exclusively to Golden Boy Promotions in order for Pacquiao to get the big jackpot fight against Oscar
