Hey Kory,

Trying your best to defend foydi ey… I know a sport that really is the ‘ART OF HITTING WITHOUT GETTING HIT’ – DODGE BALL… hahaha…

This is boxing you idiot… to be able to hit and not get hit is just one skill a fighter could have to his adavantage in the ring… But its not what is boxing is all about… Study your history first you sound like an idiot… Maybe it will be true if boxing started out from a dodgeball match… hahaha…

Boxing started just like MMA… or even worst than that… It started from Rome where gladiators would kill each other with bare knuckles in front of people as entertainment…

And between Floydi and Pacman… Pacman is the one with a gladiator heart… And Floyd… hmmmm… Floyd got a dodge-ball kind of heart… HAHAHAHA

Pac has no chance to beat Mayweather.

Pac is an easy work for Mayweather.

Kingalex-
I would have to agree. You have provided the numbers and they don’t lie. Lets face it. Most people don’t like Mayweather because of his mouth and arrogance. If he would shut-up and stop being so flashy people might accept and respect him more. PBF is a young dude trying to play the hip hop gansta roll. Its not him. He is not what he is trying to make us believe he is. He talks trash before and after a fight. I have never seen him taunting or disrespecting another fighter in the ring. He has never reverted to dirty tactics. He is a clean fighter. He actually needs to start working on his images first and then his legacy.

Jorge Lugo: You say Floyd is over rated because he hasn’t “really” hurt his opponents? The sport is called boxing…the art of hitting without being hit. It’s not MMA, you want blood and knockouts 24/7, watch MMA…Maybe you could write about the most over rated MMA fighter. Floyd is the truth. When he beats Pacquaio I wonder what you would say then…Pacquiao wasn’t really hurt?!! That’s like watching a baseball no hitter and saying the winning pitcher is over rated because he didn’t strike everyone out….A win is a win.

Mayweather is strictly business. Unfortunately thats what boxing is about these days. Fighting who you want him to fight doesn’t always make money sense for the fighter. Mayweather takes heat because he brings it on himself by contantly talking about money and that he is a businessman. Frankly I’m tired of hearing it as well. Boxing fans want to see fights, boxers want to see dollars. There’s lots of cherry picking going on. I have no doubt that Mayweather can beat Mosely, Cotto, Pacman, Burto, Clotley and Margarito. He better think twice before entering the ring with Paul Williams but it would be a fight that he could win if he did what Leonard did with Hearns. Lots of what ifs. I’m ready to see what’s going to happen in the coming months. Now Paul Williams wants a piece of Pacman. Pacman and Mayweather are the cash cows now.

That’s stupid. How can you win and not fight? Give me a break. You have to score points to win. If you are running and covering up you are not scoring points. You do know that don’t you? Scores are not based on whos bleeding the most or who looks the freshest. You have to either knock someone out or make them quit or win on points. You can’t do either by running and covering up. If you want blood and gore go watch a pitbull fight or something.

Jorge, Most articles are a matter of opinion. Not everyone will see things your way. I for one mostly agree with you. Results don’t lie. Until the fight actually happens we will all analyze the “how come’s” and “what if’s”. in my eyes, Pacquiao’s style is the most entertaining. He is a boxer brawler with a heavy punch. Maybe not a “1 hit quiter” but surely a “combo knocker outer” Watching Mayweather is like having a lot of “fore play” with out a major “O”. again, I wont take away his talent. He is a master of his style, the best! what he is not is a spectacular, breathtaking, sensational fighter. Manny is all that and more. I don’t care if he has losses on his record. He is unbelievable. Even if he loses to Mayweather(most likely on points) he will still be a more breathtaking, sensational and spectacular phenom in the boxing world than Mayweather could ever be. I will hand it to Floyd. He has mastered a “cover up” counter punching style that is the BEST at Not getting hit. It is tailor made for anyone who comes at him. boxers open up to try and land a head shot on floyd and he just exploits the openings. That’s the way he fights. Nothing dramatic, just precision. From what I see. Floyd’s only openning where he gets hit is from straight lefts
from a southpaw (good for Manny) We saw that from the Zab fight. And if Zab didn’t try to take his head off everytime early in the fight, he could have peppered Mayweathers face all night. But that would have made for a boring fight. Zab tired out and Floyd got a second wind. Zab exerted him self at too high of a pace in the beginning, things might have been different if there was no drama stopping the fight late allowing for Floyd to recover. Just before all the drama, they were both on the same level as far as energy. but because Zab had exerted so much early, when time allowed for recovery Floyd was the one to benefit. as an athlete it was easy for me to see who was going to have more energy after all the ruckus. a rematch would have been easy for Zab… by the way I hate zab just as much as I do Floyd. I just saw it the way it was.
Hate is a strong word I am sorry, but at the same time I will give credit where credit is due.
Floyd surely is great at what HE does.
But he is overrated if you think he is THE BEST.
top 10 easily, of all time? not so sure, very arguable and debateable.
NEVER a P4P Champ, not with that style.
I know, create a “duck’ncover-run’nhide scardy cat” championship belt… FLOYD WOULD OWN THAT ONE! no one would come close! THE BEST OF ALL TIME FOR SURE!
taking nothing away from him at all.
hope the fight happens. the only way floyd will win is to not fight. He knows that.

So why is manny pacquiao the p4p after his last 3 fights then ?… if mayweather isn’t 2p4p… Lets take a look at pacquiao’s last 3 fights, Delahoya,Hatton,Cotto.. Im sure someone else beat two of them when they where in much better prime… Mayweather his name is. I’m not sayin pacquiao aint the pound for pound.. but mayweather is not overrated, you cant be after them fights and still not be beaten.

One last thing. Most of you are saying Mayweather is ducking fighters like Paul Williams etc. I don’t see ODLH, Cotto, Margarito, Berto, Clottley, Mosely or Pacman calling him out either. Shane Mosely beat Margarito so why not call out Paul William? Oh I know!! Cherry Picking. Please stop with the double standards. You sound stupid.

Overrated? Please. He just makes it look so easy. Everybody makes these statements about his size which is BS. Floyd Mayweather is not very big. When he and Marquez was side by side he may have had an inch on him. When Cotto and Pacman stood side by side Pacman actually looked bigger (Maybe it was just his head). So give me a break with all this size BS. When Mayweather beats Pacman there will be will be tons of excuses. That’s normal for haters. I will be the first to come on here and admit I was wrong if Pacman beats PBF. There will be no excuses from me. Haters do the same!!!

THANK YOU JORGE, MOST WRITERS AND REAL FANS ARE SAYING THE SAME THINGS. FLOYD CANNOT COMPETE IN THE HIGHEST LEVEL, SO HE HAS TO FIGHT B-FIGHTERS. HE IS WAY OVERRATED, AND HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE BEST FIGHTERS LIKE SHANE, COTTO, CLOTTEY, WILLIAMS ETC.

Rugged man brought up some good points but 50% of his claims were absolutely wrong. I guess he doesn’t know boxing as well as he thinks he does.

Zero doesnt mean a thing. It does not guaranty that the next fight or the next would still be zero. well, maybe if you keep holding on your balls you could keep that zero. LOL
