Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: In Their Prime, Pacquiao EASILY Beats Mayweather!

[Morton Belgram]

A prime Pacquiao would have a chance, but no one easily beats Floyd, lol. Love him or hate him, he is one of the best of all time.

...and look at this guy....the archeologist....what ancient artifact quote you gonna dig up today

I'm just confused as to why you are implying he should have fought him earlier when we know that at the time your stance was he shouldn't fight him because it's a mismatch.

You understand that they directly contradict each other don't you?

You don't even have any shame everyone knows what you said before the fact and your pathetic flip flopping after the fact yet you still just keep going and going until your little heart is content

Why ya'll talking about pac vs jmm 4th fight?? Pac beat him 3 times clearly, but In their primes Pac would of beat Mayweather he knows that himself.

You know the argument is sound when the guy refusing to take ped tests is the one being defended and arguments of “Floyd should have fought the cheat Margarito with plaster!” Are one of the points used.

I dislike Floyd, but honestly? Outside of the delusional ones, who wishes that on anyone of the sport they love? To have gone in against a cheat, who many attribute the fall of a great fighter (Cotto) to.

Shane in his prime? Shane and Oscar were both prime at different times than Floyd. The best we were ever going to get due to the differences in their careers at that time was a past it but still good Shane and Oscar. Yes, Floyd is the picture and the model of cherry picking and fighting guys when they were ripe for the picking, but Pacquiao was NOT one of those.

I’m not saying Pac used, but Arum held that fight back more than anyone else. Pac was in the fight even less than Canelo was.

For all the people saying Floyd only fights once a year or every two years and is fresher, etc..it’s not his fault Pacquiao was easy to hit and was getting KOd before they fought. Most guys need tuneups after long layoffs, but when it comes to floyd, whatever is used to criticise is whats used.

Yes, he cherrry picked. Yes, he’s something of a POS. Yes, he’s a defensive minded fighter once he moved up and had hand issues and made for some snoozers. By the time they fought, Floyd was a drastically different fighter than he was in his Pretty Boy days/prime. More noticeable than Pac’s decline.


The problem is that Pac “lost” his prime once guys started using defense to make him pay and hitting him back. “He was prime before JMM. He was prime for only the first two JMM fights.”

It’s like, to some people it’s unfathomable that some fighters were just *better* than him.

When was the end of his prime? When he stopped knocking people out after PEDs accusations? After beating Morales? After the first JMM fights? After Oscar? Cotto? Marg?

Mayweather was older and less active. Get over it. He’s just a better fighter. Pac was still a f uckin bad ass but there were two fighters in his weight classes that were better. JMM and Floyd. Pac was never the legitimate best in any division he shared with those two... that’s how facts work.

Pac became some like father figure to a couple freaks and it got really weird but its over. Stahp it

I agree with nearly everything you said

but that post is far too good to nitpick

green'd

no need to pretend.

You STILL pretending cuz he spoke facts & there was no fear. He told you that if #48 beats him it has to be for real & clean. He wouldn't let Manny cheat cuz his health was more important than money. YOU are just trying to twist his words cuz you a Blatant Hater....LOL

[Drew Bundini Br]

Well well well. PAC fights this week and who'd name comes up? MAYWEATHER!!! They have to mention his name for ratings even in 2018. Pitiful!!

[aboutfkntime]

Damn, I don't remember that. I'm not the best at keeping up with the news (unless it's fights being made).. From that standpoint, I can see why you would think 4 was a cherrypick.. But given how controversial 3 was, I figured we would get a 4th fight

the 3rd fight was the blatant cherry-pick

1) in JMM's ONLY journey to welter, he looked small old and faded..... Team Pacquiao KNEW he was no welter

2) Pac DEMANDED that fight at welter, and he insisted upon a catchweight that he had never actually weighed himself LOL..... that fight was happening at welter goddammit!..... even if Pac had to eat 6 meals a day including 3am/6am shakes tomake it happen..... ask me for links if you need

3) they clearly thought that Manny would steam-roll Marquez due to his significant size advantage when preparing with Ariza..... obviously that fight should have happened at 140, which Roach/Ariza confirmed Manny can easily make, and they also confirmed that it was his best weight..... but, they wanted the advantage

the outcome of the 3rd fight, justified the 4th

[j.razor]

this post makes no sense. when floyd and pac met at the bball game, we dont even know what was said between them. you act like floyd got on the mic during half time and called pac out in front of the world or something !!!!!!!!!!!

Keep on pretending cuz Floyd was the one who went to manny & took his number then they meet at the hotel where manny was at. He WENT to Manny! Manny did NOT go to Floyd. Floyd got the fight done cuz people like YOU KEPT saying he was ducking when proof is everywhere that #48 did want to take the test along with bob.

[j.razor]

pac's prime 2008-2010. no losses.

floyd a beast in his younger days? you mean pretty boy? lol

"Pretty Boy" AND "Money" BOTH WHOOP Manny.
