Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray Leonard: May-Pac 2 Should Happen - People Will Watch

[Combat Talk Radio]

That’s not mayweathers style to slug it out. Floyd knows he can’t move like he used to so that is telling him he is not him best self anymore. So why would he fight again when he knows he can’t compete at his best like he used to?

The ONLY appeal of Floyd taking that rematch is seeing him do this to Manny just to piss people off even more:

[Damn Wicked]

it was planned to happen until Floyd saw the PAC vs Thurman fight
Floydfans will never let floyd fight PAC with 2 healthy shoulders

TBE --> TRUE BORING EVER

That's exactly what happened. Mayweather was planning on the rematch but he saw that Pacquiao still has too much in the tank. He was hoping that Pac would have performed poorly, though he probably wanted Manny to win. Floyd isn't interested in fighting anyone who is decent. He's getting paid too well to fight non-boxers and junior featherweights.

[Damn Wicked]

Floyd is retired and disabled, let Manny fight the winner of Spence/Porter.

But he's always been mentally disabled. That wasn't an excuse for not fighting years ago and it shouldn't be used as an excuse now.

Pac has shown his dominance at every weight division. But he was put to sleep by Marquez and pac fans give him a pass. And when Floyd beats him they say he had an injury.

And you have to give him some credit for beating up Mosley, Clottey, Rios, Margarito, Broner, Mathysse. Pac is above those guys, but below Money at WW.

——————-

I don’t doubt that PAC is an all time great, however his resume is not as deep as his fans would like us to believe.

Let’s take a look at his hot list and we’ll see how deep it takes us;

At 130, PAC got beat by Morales and had tough fights with Marquez. Thisevfights could have gone either way. PAC elected to rematch Morales instead of fighting Zahir Raheem in a fight any boxing fan will tell you PAC would have lost. He did not dominate that division. But it was the division where he canebto prominence.

At 135, Pac had 1 fight only against David Diaz - he did not dominate that division at all. Diaz is nondescript

At 140, PAC beat one guy only - Hatton. Hatton had gotten knocked out by Floyd. So no domination in that weight class.

At 147 PAC, he did not dominate at all.

Oscar at 147 - last time Oscar fought at that weight was 2001. The weight drain was Roach’s idea to give his guy the advantage. This is no secret at all. Google it

Cotto - Catchweight of 145 to give him advantage

Clottey - Clottey had lost to Cotto in his previous fight

Margarito at a catchweight of 150 and had been KO’d by Mosley

Mosley had literally lost to Floyd eight months before that.

In 2012 he got KO’d by Marquez so that just tells you something. This is the same Marquez who had just been dominated by Floyd.

After that it was Brandon Rios who had just lost to Alvarado at 135.

Bradley - 3 times and he lost one

Broner had lost three and had one draw

Mathysse hadn’t had a decent fight since getting beat by Garcia almost three years ago. He was a non factor at 147

Horn was a virtual unknown from Australia and PAC still lost.

Algieri, another unknown with only 1 prominent fight against Provodnikov

PAC lost to Floyd.

Thurman is the first true WW that PAC fought.

So, PAC could have a much better resume and had the tools to beat a lot of guys but he elected to cherry pick almost all his fights at 135, 140 and 147

The first fight years ago ******. How would it be better with Pac and May in their 40’s? No thanks. Boxing will survive without this.

Another imbecile posting rubbish due to his hatred of the pinoy legend.

Quit posting bro, and save the next post for somebody who’s actually going to post legit substance. Thanks in advance.

People don’t give Floyd enough credit for his “boxing IQ” inside the ring. And his boxing IQ is probably telling him right now that my instincts, reflexes, speed, agility, ability to move and counter, or even any power I once had, simply isn’t there anymore.

I keep saying here, the man hasn’t had a real fight since Berto over 4 years ago. Can you imagine if you got the best of a guy in a street or bar fight. And you’ve been just walking around enjoying life, working, spending time with your family. And you run into him again and this guy has been getting into fights and altercations over the last 4 years. Are you winning that fight? NO, your probably getting your ass kicked this time. Because your mind hasn’t been in fight mode nor have you been fighting enough to be sharp like the other guy.

Manny has been fighting “competitively” the past 4 years. If I am Floyd, I am not allowing my ego, or fans, or anyone to bait me into a fight. Floyd and Andre Ward should be the examples of leaving on top after probably seeing their own signs of their skills eroding in training or with age. Stay retired, don’t do it!!!

Well said. I like the analogy and to me has sense. Excellent post.

[Spoon23]

Damn, SRL has spoken. That's a lot of weight to duck now Floyd, but off course. Chicken Floyd is no spring chicken and must concede to being a rust bucket that can't anymore. That's what happens if a boxer is known to duck all his life. He is branded as such.

SRL is preaching listen up!

Floyd? WRU? Floyd??

[Bigg Rigg]

If Floyd is gonna try to win on some safe boxing **** again, then nah, I’m good. If he’s gonna come back to **** a little bit with Pacquiao and make the fight exciting, I’ll be with it.
