Would you consider Pacquiao one of the best offensive fighters of all time?

[djtmal]

Of course he was. He was earning far larger purses and his fights were grossing far more both at the gate and in PPV sales. This is documented.

I mean this is like someone trying to argue Cotto was as big as Manny.

they were 1a and 1b imo...plus the issue wasn't over $..., and the pac had enough draw power to look your boy in the eye at a negotiating table...i don't think you cats liked that too much...

Did you read the article djtmal posted that you just cosigned? It says it right there.

Why did floyd walk over testing if he was gonna beat manny anyways? And you said one guy wanted to fight and one wanted to posture? Lol

[The Big Dunn]

exactly....because as we have come to know...especially with this low risk (or no risk) high reward fighter...he don't take a fight unless he's absolutely, positively sure he's gonna win...

If you believe this about Floyd, then it explains why he signed the deal in December (as noted in the article you posted the snippet from) and they announced the fight for March but Manny said he didn't sign.

[WesternChamp]

Floyd didn't, Bob did. read the article that you cosigned.

So now it was bob that walked? Not manny anymore?

[BoxingTrav]

Did you not see the part where floyd refuse the 24 day cut off requested by manny????

Floyd wanted blood testing

Manny will agree only if there is a 24 day cut off

Floyd refuse and will only agree to 14 day

So who's the one playing games here??

lol, random drug tests should not have a cut off day. it's random. Mayweather compromised to 14 days. And still Pac refused.

Explained this then --

Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s crafty, well-plotted style in the boxing ring carried over to his decision of choosing when to fight*Manny Pacquiao*too, he said.

At his gym Tuesday, on media day for a fight that is expected to destroy pay-per-view and live-gate records, Mayweather (47-0, 26 knockouts) detailed why he finally agreed to fight the record eight-division champion from the Philippines.

Everything in life is about timing,” Mayweather said. “I don’t regret anything. The time is now.

“Before, I don’t think this fight was as big as this. With me going out there getting bigger and bigger, not just in boxing, but outside the sport, and him stepping outside boxing and continuing to grow outside the sport, the names are much bigger now than they were before.

“You can’t rush everything in life. Certain things aren’t meant to be [rushed].”

And you said one guy wanted to fight while the other posture? Lol

WTF? 1a and 1b is Manny fan talk for 1 and 2. There was a clear #1 and a clear #2.

HUH?? Anyone can look at someone at the table. Manny was #2 anyway you cut it. Now does that mean floyd should get everything he wants, not necessarily.

The bottom line-Manny refused to fight him. when he finally did, he lost decisively. Even better, his fans like you are left with "he woulda won in 09/10 or before the JMM KO".

In the end, he made more than $40 mil, no PPV, took drug testing, and lost in an embarrassing fashion, faked an injury, and went on to lose to a school teacher on ESPN.

hahahahaha!

He was still be tested randomly up until the cut off smart guy! Lol

[BoxingTrav]

Mayweather was willing to give him......

mayweather was willing to give him what? this wasn't some no name b lister that money was sitting down with...mayweather wasn't no bigger than pac in 2009 imo...

Mayweather was always bigger than Pac Man. People were pleasantly surprised that May gave him a 50/50 split. Floyd was the A side.

lol, I think you get the point. Anyways back to the point Manny is one of the greatest offensive fighters ever!
