Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao Built By Media, Never on My Level

[Rustyjaguar]

This guy talks about he wants to clean up the sport. Please how many positives the last 3 years have come out of his gym? Plus hanging with Memo, enough said. The reason he isn't respected by alot of fans is he fights like a safety first prima dona. He talks all this stuff about dominating being tough, yet he always does just enough to win and not expose himself. Freaking coward. Why does he keep bringing up Pac. Because he knows they both fooled the boxing public in that fight. He could have done a hell of alot more, yet he is too sacred.

Pacman left a bad taste to Floyd and his colony.Deal with it!

The dust will settle on both Manny and Floyd's career soon. When that happens, Manny's place in history will be much higher than Floyd's. Manny is the only 8 division Champion in the history of boxing. He is one of the greatest little fighters EVER and an ATG. He's never disrespected the sport and has always given us his all in the ring. He is everything we look for in a fighter. He has faced the very best, year in and year out. He should be a top 10-15 ATG when it's all said and done. Personally, he is in my top 5. Floyd isn't even top 20 or 30. Smh. Be real. All great champions challenge themselves by fighting opponents that can beat them. It's that simple. If they don't, they are not a REAL Champion. On May 2nd, Manny proved his greatness in a lackluster performance. I say lackluster because he was injured BUT still won in my opinion. Floyd had a hard time hitting Manny with clean shots. He fought with fear of getting hurt. Manny took away his jab, lead right hand, and lead shot to the body. He couldn't counter effectively because Manny has the same fast twitch reflexes that he has. Manny's ring IQ, defense, and counter punching was vastly under-rated and Floyd's was over-rated. Bottom line is this, Floyd never snapped Manny's head back once with a clean shot in 12 rounds. Manny hurt and rocked Floyd at least 3 times in the fight. Why didn't Manny get the decision? Because the judges were probably paid off. That fight should change the way fights are watched and judged. May 2nd proved Floyd GAYNESS and you want to compare him to the likes of SRL? Duran? Hagler? Hearns? Oscar? Hahahaha!!!!!!! They all had BALLS and killer instinct so how does Floyd compare to them? Answer that.

Floyd beat Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez, and De La Hoya! He's one of the highest paid athletes of his era, 2nd only to Michael Jordan! He's undefeated since 1996! He's not TBE, but he's WAY better than Manny Pacquiao!

Dont worry. Im sure they know but wont admit it.

When your the best, the haters want to bring you down a peg. Envy can be an ugly thing

There's ALWAYS something.

Prime Pacquiao versus prime Mayweather is a 51/49 fight in Floyd's favor.

But with Pacquiao as the more favorable to win by knockout.

The wild and crazy tornado Pacquiao?! Are u fckin serious?!

the media didn't give manny those 7-8 weight world championship titles, the media didn't give manny the 4 weight lineal titles, the media didn't help manny over come adversity and complete 3rd world poverty to become a hero and legend to his peoples and all peoples!!

THE MEDIA DOUBTED MANNY MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER!!!!! THEY SAID HE COULDN'T BEAT SASAKUL, HE COULDN'T BEAT LEDWABA, HE COULDN'T BEAT BARRERA, COULDN'T BEAT DELA HOYA, COULDN'T WIN WORLD TITLES IN 8 DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANNY HAD TO PROVE THE MEDIA WRONG TIME AND TIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WASN'T THE MEDIA THAT MADE PAC THE FIGHTER OF THE DECADE 2000-2009, IT WAS MANNY WHO HAD TO GET THAT HONOR!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAD TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been to the Phillipines and i've been to Flint Michigan, believe me, Mayweather probably had it worse.

Let me translate for you: Floyd has been able to fight longer because he's a better boxer. He's not reckless and didn't run into JMM's power punches. In fact he dominated JMM while Manny had 1 draw, and 1 KO defeat to the same man. By your logic Manny was washed up after the JMM KO. Therefore his washed up win over Bradley proves Bradley wasn't ****, even though we all knew that after Provodnikov nearly murdered him! So basically Manny wasn't **** when he fought Rios, Bradley, and Algeri! However, the whole world was so sure he could beat Mayweather on May 2nd. How did that happen? "The Media," just like Floyd said! So we shouldn't even been having this debate! What Floyd said is true, Manny was built by the media, and was never on his level!

hahahahaha floyd dominated a severely bloated self-conditioned marquez. marquez was moving up TWO WEIGHT CLASSES for the first time against floyd. and floyd doesn't take risks to prove his greatness. he avoids tough fights, avoids big threats, waits for them to get old and war torn, etc. manny fought marquez in his prime TWICE and should have two wins over marquez (was screwed over in the first fight because of incorrect scoring), and pac beat him in the 2nd rematch.

pac's win against bradley proves that manny still had enough left in him to put on a great performance, just like mosley had one last great performance when he beat margarito. doesn't prove that neither WEREN'T COMPLETELY PAST THEIR PRIME because they were.

and hahahahahaha the media didn't think manny could beat floyd on may 2nd. get a clue. ALL MEDIA JOURNALISTS COMMENTATORS HAD MANNY AS AN UNDERDOG U DUNCE!!! back in 2009/10 the pac vs floyd fight was seen as more even 50/50 with many thinking manny could win while others felt floyd.

This is funny coming from a guy who's entire success is based off the attention the media gave him from the start due to participating in the olympics to now that he acts like a total piece of **** for attention.

hahahahahahahaha get a clue 3rd world poverty is farrrrrrrr worse. i haven't been to the philippines (but i know filipinos who tell me the real truth of poverty) but i've been to many other similar 3rd world countries doing missionary work and the poverty in those countries don't even compare.

many people in third world countries literally live in very poor run down shacks. many take their baths, clean their clothes in ****** rivers where they get DISEASES because there is absolutely NO RUNNING WATER!!!! i've seen mothers grandmothers have to carry heavy buckets of water back from ****** rivers that were miles away. i highly doubt u've been to philippines because u'd know what REAL POVERTY IS IN THESE 3RD world countries. on top of that their OWN GOVERNMENT DOESN'T CARE FOR THEM!!! at least in 1st world there is government welfare. but a lot of these 3rd world are so frickin corrupt u don't see it. they just don't care.

i think ur a complete liar. a fraud just like ur hero.

Are you now saying that Manny got KO'd by a washed up Marquez? Are you saying that the Marquez that KO'd Manny was past his prime? Are you saying that a "past his prime" Marquez beat a prime Pacquiao? If Pacquiao was not in his prime when he got KO'd by JMM, when, in your opinion did Manny stop being in his prime? "Incorrect scoring?" "JMM was on the juice," "Manny had a shoulder injury," "Manny was past his prime," there's always an excuse! 49-0! No excuses! Why didn't the fight happen in 2009/2010? Oh yeah, the best of the best "Manny is scared of needles!"
