Comments Thread For: Porter Tabs Pacquiao: More Versatile Than Mayweather

[wlliam]

Most boxers and analysts say its close to 50/50 but would give a slight edge to mayweather. Odlh has said its a 50/50 fight. Tim Bradley said the same. Not too many people are saying its a foregone conclusion mayweather would win. Truth is pacquiao should be favored, but hes lost before and mayweather hasn't. Think about this, between their 5 common opponents, pacquiao has dominated 4/5 of them a lot more impressively. Common opponents are a pretty good indicator of who will do better in a fight generally. Think about this, do you think Manny would have lost to any fighter Floyd gas faced the last 10 years? Lol obviously not. I cant think of one opponent mayweather has beaten that would give Manny any trouble whatsoever. I think Manny Vs. Mayweather will look a lot like Manny vs. Chris algieri, with maybe 2 knockdowns instead of six. I've seen fans on here say Manny has a punchers chance!?!? Manny hasn't lost a legitimate decision ti anyone in the last 10 years since his lost to Morales. If anything Floyd is the one with a punchers chance, but I dint think he has the power to do it. Plus his hands are too brittle. If Manny doesn't respect his power which I suspect he won't, Floyd is going to get the beat down of a lifetime. Also Floyd got rocked by a well past his prime and weak mosely. Got floored by zab Judah. Manny has the skills and the power to potentially knock him out. Even if the Ko doesn't happen, I don't see any scenario besides a robbery or a serious injury that Floyd could possibly win a decision over pacquiao.

triangle theories.

And 4/5 of their common opponents Floyd got to em 1st, so they lost their stock and
momentum before Pac got em. Instead going after Floyds recent foes Pac shouldve been aiming for their scalps before floyd got em.

Why are trying to make a case for Pac when youre more of a fan of Bob Arum?

I think that you're using too much logic... I just think Mayweather style is awful for Paquiao.. He knows his philly pot shot style will not work with a guy just as fast, just as strong, southpaw, with GREAT footwork, angles and RIGHT hook.. He'll just shell up and think he can win a fight hitting 3-4 times a round, while pac just goes to work and just hits anything.. and getting out.. Mayweahter is just made up to be some kind of great boxer, but you look at Maidana, Guerrero, Ortiz, DLH, Hatton, Cotto to an extent.. are all flat footed fighters.. primed for lead rights and check hooks..

pac is awkward.. he's jumps in, out, around... that's why I thin he CAN outpoint money..

You call that logic?

Manny has angles doe

Manny southpaw doe

You guys have no clue what ur talkn about, its "fans" like you 2 that make it hard to root for Pac, which i am

Not necessarily.
Pacquiao faced better versions of Marquez, Cotto, & Hatton.
Floyd faced better versions of Mosley & Oscar.

Triangle Theories are jank in boxing. Should be replaced by Style matchup theories.

Porter, you're forgetting Pacquiao's ability to adjust on the fly and his unparalleled defense...wait...

Yeah Floyd adjusted really well in the Maidana fights.


Clinch, lay on the ropes, clinch, throw a jab, clinch.

Style match up theories, im with that. As for better versions of Marquez, Cotto, & hatton? I agree with you on Marquez because he was in his prime at his most natural weight when pac n him fought the 1st 2 bouts. As for Cotto, i disagree with you, Cotto was just coming off the Clottey decision which was a horrible call bcuz i seen him get bested that night, i just chalk it up as another Top Rank decision. Hatton came in with a horrible gameplan and was already proven as beatable, if Pac wouldve caught him qhen he was undefeated and viewed as unbeatable id give em that. Mosley and oscar, Pac shouldve caught em earlier. Thats one thing ill never understand, why Pac tried to get a floyd fight beating guys floyd already beat. He shouldve been aiming for the big fights before anybody else beat em.

A fight between the dela Hoya who fought Mayweather and the dela Hoya who fought Pac, who do you think would win? How about Mosley, Marquez, Hatton? Who do you think fought the better version of these boxers? I know you are an idiot but I hope you have enough intelligence to give an unbiased opinion.

Better version of Hatton?

Better version of Hatton?

You're right, there was never a good version of hatton.
