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

[WesternChamp]

its the cotto fight man.. some thing about that fight that got the mayweathers spooked lol.

all three myweathers confirmed below

"I don't think Pacquiao is going to get past Cotto," Roger Mayweather said. "He may beat Cotto, but he's got to show it to me. Why would you fight a fight of that nature, and that big of the risk, with the kind of money him and Floyd could make? That doesn't make sense to me."

"I do think that with his strength and power, the way he hits to the body, the way he hits to the head, I think he's got enough to take Pacquiao," Mayweather Sr. said. "I think they're really pushing Pacquiao too much."

some thing about that cotto fight LOL!!

[Disturbed]

For sure. He was an offensive powerhouse and very fun to watch in his prime. Beat so many good fighters and not just who he beat - but how he beat them

Man finished Miguel Cotto. Only two men have done it, Pac being the other one. Dropped JMM many times, put a proper beatdown on bigger men ODLH and Margarito. Finished and dominated Morales on their third fight. Knocked out Ricky Hatton brutally in just two rounds. He beat some of the fighters in a way that nobody else did.

Was so fun to watch him back then. Shame that we never saw him against Khan. Would have been exciting fight years ago, although I think Pacman would have finished him at some point for sure

good post but technically pac was the only one to stop cotto since the marg fight has a question mark over it. this is why the mayweathers started accusing pac of being on peds. cotto aint no push over.

This thread is beginning to resemble a Eulogy.


Don't worry, PacRoaches, he has a long way to go.

"He's a good fighter. He's a hell of a fighter. And he'll beat a lot of fighters 'cause, the way he fights, he basically sets a trap. He sets traps for other fighters to where he can load up all of his arsenal and use different angles to win on fighters."

"He throws the awkward left, a straight left hand, leans and throws it, and bobbing and weaving, bobbing and weaving, keep pressure, keep pressure. When he gets the guy, he goes crazy drilling him, drilling him. And the guy opens, Pacquiao throws the one shot and then he catches the guy. And that's what he do."

Mayweather noted Pacquiao's left hand has "a little thump" unlike any other boxer he's fought.

Beating a drained Cotto in a fight where he is made to defend his 147lb title below 147 doesn't make up for refusing to fight Floyd.

the mayweathers spooked because pac beat a drained cotto LOL.

[WesternChamp]

not gonna lie, floyd played it right.

"We all know the Pacquiao fight, at this particular time, will never happen, and the reason why the fight won't happen is because I will never do business with Bob Arum again in life, and Pacquiao is Bob Arum's fighter. Bob Arum gives Pacquiao a date, whereas Floyd Mayweather gives Floyd Mayweather his own date. I will be fighting again in May and I will be fighting again in September. I'm gonna give you two reasons the Pacquiao fight is not going to happen. Like I said before, I will never do business with Bob Arum in life, but I don't wish him nothing bad,"

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.

floyd posturing while tricking his fans into thinking he wanted the fight back in 09/10 LOL. it was all about timing! after pac got knocked out by marquez, floyd to arum: we good! send the contract over! LOL

And Pac still carried with him the speed and power he had from 130, taking down the naturally bigger guy. just saying

Yes, impressive win, but it doesn't make up for refusing to fight Floyd IMO. Of course for a lot of Manny fans it does.
