[abracada]

WBA "regular" welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is not interested in having a tune-up prior to a potential rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Last weekend, the news of a Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch went viral after both boxers posted a video where they having a discussion at a concert in Tokyo, Japan.

Mayweather v Khan as a tuneup

[Bluebird]

Based on what The Hornet did to Manny, the probability of a Floyd loss is extremely low.

The problem is Mayweather wouldn’t fight Pac the way Horn did, if he does, he’s in for a rude awakening.

The problem is Mayweather wouldn’t fight Pac the way Horn did

Let's boil it down.

Floyd frustrated Manny for at least 8 rounds. Making him reset constantly with just enough punches. I mean look at this




The Hornet frustrated Manny up through 7. Manny couldn't get it done in 8 or 9, and let Horn take enough rounds to win the fight.

Marquez frustrated Manny in the fourth fight , causing him to lunge into a knockdown then again into a sparkout.

Bradley had Manny frustrated in the first and second fights. Especially the second.

Point: Manny's weakness is that he can't keep composure against guys who move and don't stand to take his combo.


Who's the absolute master at frustrating opponents?

Floyd.

Matthysse was the tune up.

What I was trying to tell you was Horn was the aggressor when he fought Pac. He fought him toe to toe and he was relentless, Mayweather, at some point would try that with certain opponents but not with Pac because he knows better. Of all the boxers who beat Pac fair and square, Marquez did the best job, he was on the verge of getting knocked out himself but Pac got careless and Marquez landed a perfectly timed punch. You can’t win a fight any better than that....not by hitting with marshmallow punches, running and clinching.

If you SERIOUSLY think that the gif I provided - which was on display the entire fight except round 4, 6, and 12 - shows "marshmallow punches, running and clinching"...

Hahahahaha!
I tell you what, after the fight, if Mayweather wins, I would congratulate you and if Pac wins I expect you to do the same thing.

Here's the problem. Your last reply just screams excuses:

a boxer that moves must be "running" - but then you'll say with a straight face that Choco got robbed when he was walked down and running away from Rungvisai.

a boxer that does an average of 1.5 clinches a round is excessive - but then you'll call Rumble in the Jungle, a straight up clinchfest by Ali - as a boxing masterpiece.

a boxer that focuses on accuracy rather than frequency or damage must be throwing "marshmallow punches" - but you'll swear Golovkin got robbed twice by Canelo because of his jab.

Inconsistency. It doesn't work for me. So I'll pass on your 'offer'.

When I see people accept, acknowledge and appreciate what they really see in the ring (their heroes getting walked down and beat by superior fighters), rather than what they convince themselves they saw ('robbery'), we can have a conversation and even a friendly debate about it.

Chocolatito is one of my favorite boxers but I gave Rungvisai all the credit in the world because he beat Chocolatito not once but twice, the last one by knock out, he beat the “man” so now I consider him the “man”.

The first GGG vs Canelo fight, I thought GGG won but on the rematch, I thought Canelo won because he made some adjustments and it worked for him, it was a very close fight but I gave it to Canelo, there’s no robbery.

I will always believe that Marquez did a better job of beating Pac than Mayweather.

You should practice what you preach...before Pac fought Matthysse, you predicted Buboy to throw in the towel but that’s not what happened, it was Matthysse who quit and you came up with your PEDs accusation instead of acknowledging that Matthysse was just simply outclassed by Pac.

I’m not surprised at all when you said you will pass on my offer, I’m sure if Pac wins the rematch, you would come up with your PEDs accusation again.

Pac would lose to Crawford and Spence but I wouldn't rule him out against the rest of the top 10. I'd probably pick him against guys like Khan, Garcia, Porter, Thurman, etc.
