Comments Thread For: Tarver: Pacquiao Fast Enough To Offset Mayweather

I didn't say that, you did. But since you are a die-hard Floyd fan and a die-hard Pac critic, can we agree that whoever wins 4 weeks from now is the legit winner regardless of whatever takes place in the ring. I am picking Pac because on how he dealt with his losses and how he beat Tim Bradley twice. Pac is going to come out the same way, feel floyd and be the aggressor after the 1st round and Pac will be too quick for Floyd to handle. The fight is going to be about speed,power and heart, Pac will win and I am putting my money where my mouth is. I am a fan of both and I am glad that this fight is taking place and if Floyd wins, he will the G.O.A.T in my book. Peace!

Name one time I ever made an excuse on Boxingscene.

I can respect your opinion! Note I believe that Floyd wins because of size, skill, and heart!! A lot of people don't give Floyd credit for heart! If you watch his fights closely, every time he gets hit with a good punch, he comes back strong! For to respect that! Now PAC does the same thing which makes both champions, bit PAC is reckless which I believe will be his downfall!!

Also realize that floyd needed a 40x40 ring in the maidana rematch...

Floyd is not as fast as he was, but people don't realize he has slowed because he has been matched vs slow guys like canelo, ghost, maidana.. You don't notice the slippage vs guys like that.. but let this floyd fight the 2006 judah and you would notice the difference..

Not saying floyd is slow, just he has slowed, and it will show vs manny...

Mannys footspeed is gonna be the biggest obstacle for floyd in this fight, along with mannys high punch output and activity...

people still view floyd as being quick like he was vs gatti, baldomir, hatton and thats just not the case.. Its just hard to tell vs ghost, maidana etc

Was he that quick or were his opponents just that damn slow? I never related any of those guys in that sentence with speed.

Pacquiao's KO by Marquez was a "gift" to boxing. It exposed Pacquiao's weakness/es without which we may never be seeing the fight of the century. When that KO happened to a one man's mind was like, Man the guy can be beat after all. We want the fight, we are ready," he thinks. "Let's make it happen. Let's do it."

It was a gift? How so? I think anyone who watched Pacquiao fight knew he took the risk of getting KO'd in EVERY fight he's fought and knew it wouldn't last forever.

What is the biggest downside of an aggressive, offensive fighter? Anybody? Anybody? Oh right, you get KTFO eventually. Were you surprised?

So you agree that Floyd is better! They've fought the same people and yes PAC knocked most of them out or down, but that's 2 different styles! Floyd is calculated, but PAC is a reckless wrecking ball. PAC time is limited, but Floyd was built to last like B Hop! While PAC is like Roy Jr! The tide turns on those type of fighters but I respect both! The are both the best of our generation! Floyd is just better though PAC is more entertaining!
