True, I remember when Rodger and Sr said there was no way Pacquiao would beat Cotto.
Even I thought Pac had no chance at the time.
margacheato got caught with loaded gloves & Manny was accused of PED's....when Floyd fought Cotto he said to him Cotto was undefeated cuz Cotto was fighting Cheaters (the only 2 fighters he lost at that time).
that $40 mil flat fee offer. pleaseeee!!! bogus ass offer when floyd is set to make over $100 + mil if they would have fought during that time.
if floyd fought pac during that time, it would have been the most floyd's ever made in one fight too! so??
let's just keep it 100. whether you believe if floyd was avoiding or not or if you believe pac was avoiding or not, just look at both of their character when this fight was heating up.
floyd made a racist rant video on manny, then the video posted above where he clearly says he's fine if the manny fight never happen, etc.
pac has never made any of those statements when asked about a floyd fight. pac has always said he wants it.
Floyd got up all in your feelings that you got NO PROOF of him "ducking" but we have MANY links to many/bob not wanting the fight. Floyd ruins Haters Lives....LMMFAO!
He mad because even with all of his bogus facts, the jury is still out on whether the outcome on the biggest fight of this era, would have been different, or at the very least more competitive, when it was the correct time for those guys to get it on, or maybe it's because everybody isn't a shameless Manny hater like he is. Or maybe because Floyd gets absolutely clowned for being more about what time he fought certain guys and how much the fights generated money wise than how it would play out legacy wise, no matter who's at fault.
Or maybe it's because only a shameless Floyd boy would put Floyd above guys who have stood the test of time. Or maybe its all of the above. Who knows man. That fool has issues.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has hit Malaysia, where the former six division world champion is helping promote Saturday's showdown between WBA "regular" welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse and eight division beltholder Manny Pacquiao. De La Hoya, who promotes Matthysse, was battered and stopped by Pacquiao back in 2008. [Click Here To Read More]
I don’t know, Mayweather is a defensive genius, the only game plan that would trouble him is a Maidana type attack as long as his opponent is willing to be countered for every mistake. Literally take 10 power punches from May to land one power punch!
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
Floyd was no cherry picker. That is made up. He was the one everyone was avoiding until he became "Money" Mayweather.

So just cuz Manny didn't take the test it was Floyd that "delay the fight so Bob Arum can continue to make money off Pacman to keep him busy."
