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

It would have been a better fight earlier in their careers but I doubt the outcome would ever be different.

It's possible but we'll never know. I think Floyd believes it more than I do though.

[Butch.McRae]

It wasn't a real offer.

Floyd waited until Juan knocked him out, then fought him.

You mean when Bob got desperate and was finally willing to compromise his star fighter?

You guys are hilarious. There's no point in Manny's career where any knowlegadable fan would've bet he would be Floyd.

He didn't have the IQ for the job. Just look how easily he was getting caught with right hands when they did meet.

A younger Floyd would have probably stopped him in similar style to Hattton.

It's was just a bad style matchup all the way around.

im not here to discuss who would win in their prime. since they never fought during that time, we will never know. you'll say floyd win and i'll say pac win, so this gets us nowhere.

what i am saying here is that floyd avoided pac! for whatever reason, he avoided manny! dont act like this aint true.

before that fight, both sr and roger said manny has no chance against cotto and that why would pac's team put him in such a big risky fight. then he blasted cotto out and the ped accusation started rolling in

A lot of people forget

They say that for anybody Floyd bet lol They always pick his past foes.

Said the same about Canelo v. GGG

You're telling me after the Cotto fight, Floyd's excuses didn't roll in?

what????

when pac fought cotto, floyd hasnt even fought cotto yet.

the mayweathers was saying manny stands no chance against cotto, then pac stopped cotto and that's when they started accusing him of being dirty.

What a bitter middle age man Oscar has become? What's so ironic about this is that not long ago, this is the same Oscar De La Hoya who was implying that Pac was a steroid cheat.

I'm saying that the fight didn't happen because Bob had no true interest in making the fight.

There was too much money to be made on all sides.

Those PED allegations were around before the Cotto fight. I don't recall when Floyd said it. But people in boxing were already su****ious of a guy moving up in weight but getting more powerful.
