Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: Floyd Needs KO Win To Get Full Credit

[Tay Roc]

He will get full credit from me. I wouldn't suspect PEDs, but a pool's worthy of xylocaine on those hands.

We'll see fight night where credit is due... Bradley also has a "win" over Pac.

[BuckToothed]

He says Emmanuel Augustus were tougher opponents. Father, and current header trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. agrees with his brother. In a recent interview he said Saul Alvarez, Miguel Cotto and Marcos Maidana were all tougher opponents than Pacquiao.



Ok now this is just as dumb as Manny thinking Oscar is going to be harder then Floyd

Seriously, where do they (Pac & May) get that idea? These people supposed to know $h!t about boxing.

How so? Fighting style wise Oscar WAS harder for PAC to beat if u look at their fighting style and PAC was also moving up in weight. I know that once the fight started it was fairly easy for manny but PAC is talking about lead up to the fight he felt that Oscar, cotto, Marg fight would be tougher.

The interviewer asked manny if Floyd will be his toughest fights, so he replied with he felt that Oscar, cotto, Marg fight was tougher. He is not saying that it's a tougher fight after beating them easily, he is saying He felt those fights were tougher going into it as compare to this match up with Floyd. Let's face it win or lose PAC will prolly leave with very few marks on him and this is what PAC meant.

i agree with roger
in reality this is more of a cherry pick than robert guerrero
pacquiao has NO distinct physical advantages over mayweather he has NEVER had a KO of a legit welterweightso power cant be a factor speed almost the same but MAYBE pacquaio in "combination" punching but definitely not faster than mayweather to target.
pacquaios AWKWARDNESS is the ONLY conceivable advantage he has in this fight every other stat is in mayweathers favor.

Manny was considered a tune up for Barrera, and was expected heavily to lose to De La Hoya.

Floyd needs to be dominant! He doesn't need a KO, but he needs to be very dominant! Manny is on hero status, Floyd is on the same level as Adrian Peterson right now. The whole world is behind Manny, so if I was Floyd, I wouldn't be leaving it up to the judges. Beating Pacquiao won't stop the haters, even with a KO, but there will definitely be "a moment of silence!"

[Dr Rumack]

To be honest, for Floyd to get full credit for the win, he would have to go back in time to 2010 and win the fight then.

The first idiot on the ****** train just pulled in with excuses

Mang, you know a mang that is 38 years OLD can't double his muscles in 6 weeks , WITHOUT some juice, and undetectable at that, don't ya mang ?

Thats yer way of COVERING UP THE TRUTH,,,,I expect a lot of that from JOY's BOYS !

The differences in the 2 fights against Oscar, by Floyd and Manny, speak volumes about how the public views the two men. Floyd beat Oscar at 154, and gets little credit. Floyd even gets venom for making Canelo (a twenty-something year old man) come down from 154 to 152. However Manny fought a very different Oscar (35 year old man) than Floyd did:

August 28, 2008:

The fight will take place at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds, meaning Pacquiao (47-3-2, 35 KOs), a five-division champion who holds a 135-pound lightweight belt, will move up two weight classes. De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs), a six-division champion, will come down to 147, a weight he has not fought at since 2001. De La Hoya, primarily a 154-pound junior middleweight in recent years, came down to 150 for his May points victory against Steve Forbes.

Why the different responses? Because Floyd is not well liked, and Manny is a hero. This is why Roger wants that KO!

Floyd gets 5% credit, the other 95% goes to Marquez lol
