Comments Thread For: Jim Lampley on Calling Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV

[Sindawg364]

Really Jim...it's a shame that I will have to listen to this dude call the fight. So many documented issues where he shows his bias. Don't try to all of a sudden become fair across the board. Yes,m you've picked mayweather to win his fights. That don't justify the hate that comes out of your mouth.

Jim Lampley has influence a lot of casual fans on who's winning a fight by his calling of missed punches. He is the absolute worst at being partial.

He will ruin what will be a great fight.

How is Floyd gonna whoop PAC easy?
PAC is levels above anyone Floyd fought.
How is this gonna be easy?

Enlighten us all

Marquez is as good or better than pacman and floyd beat him easy. So levels?

[SeekDaGreat]

Your detachment process needs some work Jim.

I agree. And especially when it comes to Pacquiao. He's nurturing from Pacs tit still. Dudes is the ultimate P@ct@rd.

Not true. If that was the case, Marquez-Floyd would have been a lot bigger. Saying Marquez is as good or better than Pac is like saying Ken Norton is as good or better than Muhammad Ali. What you can say is Marquez is an all-time great fighter who has beaten some other great fighters, Pacquiao included, and he is Manny's great rival and maybe Manny's kryptonite. But Manny has done things in his career Marquez could never have done: such as stop Cotto, beat up Margarito and Clottey, drop Mosley, decision Bradley (twice)....Marquez very likely could not have achieved those things.

Then there's the other matter: Marquez has a much simpler style than Pac. That was easy work for Floyd because he didn't have to deal with crazy speed, crazy power or crazy angles. He has to deal with all three on Saturday night. He's one hell of a fighter so will he deal with it? Maybe. We'll need to see how it plays out.

See, you are doing what you were complaining about in the other thread. If Floyd loses, you will tell people to turn the volume down, close your eyes and pretend that Floyd won.

Telling people to not let commentators influence their opinion would be a bad thing?

Bookies are taking bets on everything associated with this fight. I wonder if any bookies are taking bets on how many punches Jim Lampley gives Pacquaio credit for that don't actually land.

I would put the over/under at 30. "****. ****. ****," Lampley says exuberantly as Pacquaio eats a right hand.

pac's style is made for floyd. floyd only has been troubled with pressure not with ambush style fighters who floyd can counter and control from the outside easily.

Guy was on sportsnation today just talking **** about Floyd and bigging up Pacquiao can't believe he is calling the fight

I'm not saying marquez is a bigger draw. That guy said no one floyd has fought before is on pac level and I disagree I think that Marquez is as good pacman. And yea if marquez had fought floyd after his last fight with pac I think that would have been a huge, huge fight floyd fought him when marquez first moved up.
you don't think marquez is in pacman level?

Lol I remember angel garcia said in an old interview that when peterson fought khan, and khan landed a **** Lampley would say big right hand by khan. Even though peterson was landing on right hands on him like a "octopus"
Expect Lampley to jack off to every **** **** pacquo right hand
