Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Pacquiao Win is Huge For Floyd's Legacy

[Bolopunch68]

Of course it's huge. People haven't figured out how to separate trash talk from real talk.

It really is hard to separate trash talk from real talk especially when Floyd Sr is doing the talking.

I wasnt calling you a Pac Tard directly sorry if it came off that way. I was stating that Pac Tards are the majority that throw up that defense across the board. But to answer your question. Floyd fought a prime canelo, a prime Corrales, a prime Hatton, thats just naming 3 top tier in their division future hall of famers who were undefeated when floyd fought them. Now to you i say besides Hearns and Duran name 4 more top opposition, future hall of fame, and winning opponents SRL faced. Ill spot you one Marvin Hagler.
Lets not forget to mention SRL avoided Aron Pryor.
Mayweather fights his Aron Pryor May 2nd

Just ****ing log off, son.

For you maybe.

[IMDAZED]

Was it trash talk when both of you preached this garbage as gospel at the time SR and JR was talking about PAC doesn't do anything for their legacy.
Fact is, JR and SR said what they said because they did not want to fight PAC at that time.

It's obviously important enough for Floyd to PAY PAC what pac deserves and enough for floyds team to do a lot of things out of the ordinary, regardless if it is for mind games or just to sabotage PAC's camp.....

You done whining?

[Bolopunch68]

like i said, if floyd can make manny stop throwing, keep looking at freddie since he doesnt know what else to do. looks up at the big screen to see how much time there is left in the round. then i will apologized to all the floyd fans on here.

Not gonna happen, the only way you put Manny away is by knocking him out or have the ref stop the fight. Manny continues to fight and tries to land his KO punch even when he is loosing (Morales/PAC I). Floyd Sr better be right by saying Floyd will knock him out 'cause if he can't, Manny will still put a hurt on his son.

Never mind legacies, this fight will settle the longest running argument in the history of sports. 6 years of this bull****.

[davidkidd]

Truth. Floyd had the opportunity to put himself among the greatest of all time, but he chose to make excuses as to why he shouldn't have to fight the best opponents and chose lesser competition time after time.

What looks better?
Mayweather SD 12 Margarito 2007
Mayweather UD 12 Cotto 2008
Mayweather UD 12 Williams 2009
Mayweather UD 12 Mosley 2009
Mayweather UD 12 Pacquiao 2010
Mayweather UD 12 Martinez 2011

or

Mayweather KO10 Hatton (made a jr. welterweight come up to 147)
Retirement
Mayweather UD 12 Marquez (made a 2 fight lightweight come up to 147)
Mayweather UD 12 Mosley
Mayweather KO4 Ortiz (controversial knockout)
Mayweather UD 12 Cotto
Mayweather UD 12 Guerrero (why did he "deserve a fight again")
Mayweather UD12 Alvarez (weight drained the other champion in his division)
Mayweather UD12 Maidana (took away opponents gloves)
Mayweather UD12 Maidana (took away opponents gloves)


Floyd, like many athletes and celebrities of this era, are a product of marketing. Tom Brady is supposedly the greatest qb ever. Lil Wayne is supposedly the greatest rapper ever. Lebron James is supposedly the greatest basketball player ever.

Its not a coincidence they all come from the same era.

Mosely didnt want to fight floyd. Bob arum wouldnt let cotto fight floyd. If floyd fought martinez everyone wouldve said je drained him and floyd goinh to full fledge middle weight is unrealistic in today's world of boxing floyd should be fighting at 140. Team Pacquiao and Arum prevented the first fight, Freddy Roach has admitted this. so your list is unrealistic based on those reasons which is likely why it didnt happen that way.

Now i ask you what looks better

Pacquiao KO De La Hoya @154lbs 2008
Pacquiao KO Hatton 2009
Pacquiao KO Cotto @147lbs 2009
Pacquiao UD Mosley 2010
Pacquiao L Mayweather 2010
Pacquiao KO Marquez @140lbs 2011
Pacquiao SD Martinez @154lbs 2011
Pacquiao MD Bradley @140lbs 2012
Pacquiao UD Bradley @140lbs 2012
Pacquiao TKO D. Garcia @140lbs 2013
Pacquiao KO Amir Khan @147lbs 2013

Or

Pac RTD De La Hoya 2008 (old and weight drained)
Pac KO Hatton 2009 (coming off a loss)
Pac TKO Cotto 2009 (weight drained coming of a hard loss)
Pac UD Clottey 2010 (why did he deserve this fight? He beat zab judah?)
Pac UD Margarito 2010 (catch weight coming off a loss)
Pac UD Mosely 2011 (coming off of a loss and a draw. Older than when mayweather foughy him right?)
Pac MD Marquez 2011 (debateable)
Bradley SD Pac 2012 (seriously? Why did he deserve fight? Made Bradley come to welter)
Marquez KO Pac 2012 (clear winner determined. Fought 4 times and couldny figure him out)
Pac UD Rios (Why does he deserve fight? Coming off loss)
Pac UD Bradley (struggled with him early)
Pac UD Algieri (why does he deserve this fight??? Pac has three of these!?)

Is this the same dude that was saying, "my son don't need manny to boost his legacy" Floyd Sr. is a joke . I honestly think he should keep his mouth shut. Every time he speaks, he sounds like a damn dummy. Keep your mouth shut floyd Sr.

[Hands of Stone]

A big part of me thinks that Floyd is going to put on another virtuoso performance, reminiscent of Corrales.

Everyone keeps saying Mannys been waiting five yrs to kill Floyd, but lets be real, if you dont think Mayweather knows the magnitude of this fight then you can only see one side of the fence.

Ive watched Manny at his best, and Ive watched Floyd at his best, and at their best, Floyd is better. Floyd fully understands the chatter and talk over the last 5 yrs and if u dont thini that ur delusional.

Its been a long long time since Floyd fought someone smaller. I dont take nothing away from Manny hes good and exciting, but Ive never felt he was on the same level. I hope Floyd embarrasses Manny.

You watched Manny at his best and you think Floyd would have embarrassed him unfortunately Floydie didn't think the same. He had to watch Manny slow down over the years before he could finally man up to take the fight. It's not me just talking, even Floyd's father confirmed as much.

As for the Bob Arum excuse, Bob was never the issue but rather it was the blazing speed, wrecking ball two fisted typhoon named Manny Pacquaio that was the problem. The fight is done now and guess what Bob never left the negotiations so that only tells you Floyd was scared out of his mind of the 2010 Pacquaio. And in fairness, who wouldn't be after seeing the way Manny decimated Cotto. That Manny would have given Floyd a serious beating and Floydie knows it hence the reason for the delay tactics. Unfortunately at this point, I will favor Floyd by a lil bit to win the fight but not the whitewash that most of you dumb ass.es are predicting.

In all sincereness, Floyd is a great fighter but as a man, he is the lowest of the low. You try to discredit another man's accomplishment simply because you are jealous or afraid to fight him. FYI, Manny Pacquaio's fights alone with the Morales, Barreras and the Marquezs crap on Floyd's entire career. Those will be taked about in historical perspective than anything Floyd has ever done in boxing. That's a fact.

Has anyone ever question why Floyd all of sudden doesn't have hand problems anymore when at some point in his career he almost quit an ongoing fight cos of his brittle hands? It's called xylocaine my friends, a PED by some standards. It's banned everywhere except for Las Vegas hence why he wouldn't fight anywhere but Vegas.

The so called savior/cleaner of the spot has his top two fighters get popped for PEDs, but yet he's advocating for cleaning up the sport but yet he's stable is lacking in that department. I thought the clean up ought to start from his stable, Mayweather Promotions. Then he had the nerve to surround himself with Memo Heredia and hired the same guy, Ariza, that supposedly was mixing up PEDs for Manny. The hypocrisy of this guy is incredible but yet you hear his uneducated fans stick up for him at every juncture, it is really unfortunate.

This guy is the most self serving, egoistically jackas.s that we 've seen in boxing for quite sometime, great fighter nonetheless but far, far from being the best ever even if he beats this faded Manny Pacquaio. Boxing would be much better off the days he leaves and trust me, he will not be missed. It's not like he's given us any memorable fight anyway since he became a welterweight.

It really is hard to separate trash talk from real talk especially when Floyd Sr is doing the talking.
