Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Had To Face Marquez Once, Not 4 Times

[stuff jones]

Cool. How many rounds did he need for ODLH? For Hatton? How many did Pac?

Thanks.

[_original_]

- southpaw ( Judah)
- fast (Judah)
- awkward (maidana)
- active (maidana, Castillo)
- variety of punching ( Castillo)
-cutting off ring (cotto)
- great jab (Oscar)
- combos (maidana)
- body punching (Castillo)

Manny has all of the above except a great jab

I wouldn't consider Manny a great body puncher, or at least not a very dedicated one. He mostly head hunts. Also, he's shown he's not very good at cutting the ring off when the opponent shows him movement (Mosley, Marquez, ect.). Southpaw, fast, awkward and a good combination puncher--I'll give him that.

Pacquiao can't fight like Maidana and Castillo he doesn't have the strength or inside game. He's terrible at cutting off the ring, he follows he doesn't cut it off.

He's not really a body puncher all like that either. At least not a great one. He does enough to get you to drop your guard and get the left in, but his body attack doesn't sap the energy from you.

Why do they call it ovaltine? The mug is round, the jar is round, they should call it Roundtine!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter if the fans get riled up. He has to face Pac not the fans. If anything its him and his dad who seem riled up with a ton of pressure on their shoulders. Have you seen Pac lately? He's doing interviews with his usual smile while laughing and singing songs. LOL. He seems calm as a cucumber. Floyd looks tense.

I see your point but it really doesn't mean anything

The fight is signed and barring any injuries its on. Regardless what Jr or Pac says it will be all talk until they actually in the ring.

The Mosley-Margarito winner was supposed to be fighting Pacquiao but Pacquiao decided he didn't want to fight Mosley.

i swear these tards have amnesia, after the destruction of margarito , Shane started to rabidly call out Pacquiao for an oct. 17, 2009 date (he agreed to give manny 60/40). mannys camp wanted him to come down to 142!! shane said "you fought Oscar at 147, why not me". ..shane then offered 144, still no.. then shane called their bluff and said hes willing to go further down to 140 to make manny comfortable. roach still said hell no.

“Manny may be too small for Mosley if he agrees to fight at 144 pounds." - Rex "Wakee" Salud (one of pacs advisers)

they were scared shane would balloon to 154 on fight night lol.

"I think he should fight me at 147, but you know what, it's okay, I'll fight you at 140! That'll make Bob Arum happy and it'll make Freddie Roach happy." - shane (july 2009)


"Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter." (Feb 2010)

the tards are hilarious.

Not as many, just wait til after lil' floyd has busted them up first.

How much lube you need for sloppy seconds?

What is your point, Floyd? You just had to fight Chino Maidana twice after he beat you up the first time and your people were talking up a Cotto rematch.

Maidana twice though....lol

Im convinced Floyd is clinically brain dead. He boxes off sheer instinct these days. Thank God he's always the better athlete in the ring.

[SplitSecond]

floyds fans think floyds only weakness is inside fighters because the best fighters he's faced have happened to be aggressive/inside guys

but completely neglect floyds complete inability to defend against the low-tier southpaws he's faced and is instead forced to fight and break them before they break him

another thing is thinking floyd will fight like marquez with consistent movement when floyd hasn't a clue how to move intelligently, he only knows how to run and end up gassing or more or less stand his ground with the maintenance of the distance coming by way of retreating straight back, which quickly has him resting his back on the ropes, but at the same time im sure they wonder why he has trouble against these inside fighters

although im sure they're thinking "pacquiao not being an inside/bully fighter im sure putting floyd on the ropes wont help him at all"

I'm convinced you guys lack comprehension skills. He said he only needs to face a guy once "or twice" to get the job done not 3 or 4 times... Man, you guys really need to check yourselves before calling another man brain dead.
