Pacquiao: Mayweather is “very jealous of my achievements because I have surpassed him”
April 26th, 2010
By Jim Dower: Manny Pacquiao thinks that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is jealous of his achievements in boxing, saying to Greg Leon of Boxing Talk, “I just think he [Mayweather] and his team are scared of me and are very jealous of my achievements because I have surpassed him.” I think Pacquiao may have a good point. He may have surpassed Mayweather in terms of significant wins during his career. In the past couple of years, Pacquiao has beaten Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya, and Ricky Hatton. Mayweather has beaten De La Hoya and Hatton as well, but he didn’t look nearly as good at beating them than Pacquiao did.
That took a lot of courage for Pacquiao to take that fight and he did remarkably well in dominating the bigger fighter and taking him out in the 12th. Without Pacquiao, there’s a question whether Mayweather would have the urgency to seek out a tough opponent like Shane Mosley. It’s good that Mayweather is fighting, no doubt, but you also have to wonder whether Mayweather would have bothered. After all, Mayweather never chose to fight Mosley all these years until now, when Pacquiao has become boxing’s number #1 cash cow.
The timing for Mayweather fighting Mosley is really telling. If it’s not a move done to match Pacquiao and show that he can accomplish as much as the Filipino star, I don’t know what is. But I think it’s good for boxing the rivalry. If Mayweather is indeed jealous of Pacquiao, then perhaps we’ll see more fights between Mayweather and top level fighters similar to Shane. Ideally, the fight that boxing fans want to see if Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. However, Mayweather is going to have to drop the idea of having Pacquiao take the random blood tests.
Mayweather needs to give in this once. He might want to have his opponents take blood tests for the remainder of his career, but he needs to make an exception this once for the Pacquiao fight. He’s got nothing really lose. This isn’t a weight lifting event. Even Pacquiao were to be using growth hormones, which he doesn’t look like he is, it wouldn’t help him beat Mayweather. Those kinds of things don’t make a person a better fighter.

All my black educated friends like Pacman. It’s interesting that the Ghetto blacks hate the Pacman.
marathon mouth fraud mayweather is scared and jelous of paquiao. also fraud mayweather fights are BORING AS HELL, his fights are nowhere near as entertaining as pacmans. fraud mayweather makes excuses and ridiculous demands for fighting paquiao. stop the running fraud mayweather and man up already and fight pacman.
ALTHOUGH i’M BLACK I ADMIRE pacquiao for having the courage to tell the truth and expose our brother. its a fact that this little philippino’s achievements in the ring dwarfed that of floyd. his courage is incomparable to our ducker floyd. What floy does mr paquiao does it even better and I praise mr. pacquiao for making a statment like that
GEORGE says:
WHAT ACHIEVEMENTS 51-3-2 AND LOST TO 3 BUMS, FLOYD IS UNDEFEATED PACNUTS WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
george that’s the beauty of it all…falling down to “3 bums”… getting up all the time,…conquered new heights and made an empire. those 3 loses, made pacman what he is now…THE KING OF BOXING!!! look at your idol…can he handle a defeat?
HE WON’T EVEN TAKE RISKS!!! he’s undefeated like jc chavez jr, with almost identical record…but chavez jr. has more k.o. victories than your idol. and still you worship your idol. HA HA HA
If the Mosley- Mayweather fight on May 1st is supposed to be a sensational one as they(Floyd camp’s) claimed, why is there still hundreds( over 400) of unsold tickets at MGM? Only three days left before the fight . I am beginning to wonder if there would be enough PPV subscriptions to cover the cost to televise this fight. I dont really care who wins…
@Peplz: Brother peeps, you got me all wrong…from what can be intimated from my exegesis, it’s ok to make fun of my verbosity, which is all in fun, but when you thrash me into the odious heap of the likes of Hannity and Fox News, and big Fat Al, that’s where I draw the line…Hannity is a first rate pabulum pukin ahole with a third rate intellect whereas Al sharpton is a James Brown wannabe who would readily commit murder if you dare step in front of him before a tv camera.
I am probably blacker than you, bro…but I haven’t lost sight of the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears recently paid for by the great movers and shakers of the civil rights movement, not only here in America but world wide, from King and the recently laid to rest Ben Hooks, to intellectual giants such as Noam Chomsky and Norm Finkelstein. Even Ali was a seminal figure for civil rights during that tumultous times, from his principled stands to his ‘black is beautiful’ attitude, it was a necessary antidote to the degradation of Jim Crow.
If you like pbf and the mayweathers in general, admire them…I hope it’s confined to their exploit in the ring and that alone, for the implication of who they portray themselves to be, the beliefs and ideas they profess, the attitude and demeanor with which they conduct themselves…it’s an embarrassment to all…
ozzy,
seems lik ur admitting defeat there bud!
@peplz
Come up with a “pen name”. Manuel Perez has a few…
…ryan
@George,
I wouldn’t call Erik Morales a bum…
pac on his best cant beat my son floyd !!
Floyd is so great and he can only be that great at such a high weight if he is on steroids. Bottom line. Look how big his head is now compared to 10 years ago. Look at the muscles. It is clear he is juiced. Thats why he asked for the extra tests. He knows he got juiced up enough and now he’s ready to stay clear for just enough time to pass the test.
yes…tha’s true…he’s jealous….look what pacman’s achievements compare to you floyd…for a short period of time only…beating bhigher class boxers…not like u….coward….sit….ur far compare to pacman n mostley….u should ashamed of urself by claiming ur great than those legends like ali n robinson…sit…who the hell r u fighting….ha….
@ey
You’re right. Maybe one day I will. I’m not very into using my real name on the internet though. And it would seem as if one would be required to submit their government name to write articles for this site.
@peplz
You should write an article for this site.
So far the best article I’ve read concerning floyd and manny. A lot of people see floyd as the better fighter but The way floyd acts towards manny, It’s very close to reality that he is indeed very envious to the pacman’s present status. I salute a writer brave enough broadcasting the truth. Thank you.
REMINDER: That interview was a fake.Have you read the whole thing?Translated or not, nothing in that interview is how Manny really speaks. The whole thing is easily a fabrication and a poor one at that. He speaks with a humility that you don’t have when you claim to be the face of boxing the way he supposedly does.
Ozzy is delusional from biting bats heads off, maybe he has rabies.
@ Ozzy
Being a great boxer has got absolutely nothing to do with PPV sales my friend. In my opinion, being a great boxer is like being a hero – going beyond your limits, like moving up in weight and still be able to keep your speed and stamina; or like fighting some big names and putting them into retirement like De La Hoya and Hatton (who’s thinking of it!).
Also, I really feel that Jim Dower is trying to point out that Floyd keeps telling everyone that he is the best – then why wouldn’t he just fight the best? Exactly the same reason that Ali is one of the greatest – he fought all the toughest heavyweights in the planet – including Frazier and Foreman, without hesitation! Mayweather has ‘accused’ (let me say that again in capital letters – ACCUSED) Pac of being on illegal enhancers for what reason? Because he’s too good? Because he’s too fast and he can take punches?!
ryan
yes you do own people on this board !! i think you own the board too and need to get a life other than this , you are on here more than anyone !! mayweather is king still , you know it and true boxing fans know it .. you are just in denial.. pac has never beat floyd in sales of fights,, this fight will do at least 2 millionwhat was the nuber for pac/clottey ?? and that was prob. inflated !!.. more want to see floyd than any one else..man-duck will never beat floyd in the ring either..your idol should just keep fighting top ranks tomato cans !!
@Afr-Am AKA Black (when´s the last time you were in africa?)
Marquez was beat by Manny and then beat by Floyd, Oscar was beat by Shane twice and then beat by Floyd, Zab had 3 losses already before fighting Floyd, Baldomir HAD 9 LOSSES before fighting Floyd. With the exception of Hatton all of Floyd´s big fights were against guys that were as you say coming off losses also so the story goes both ways or maybe you didn´t want to open your eyes enough to see that?
AFR AM,
floyd fought #2 p4p marquez and “made” 1M ppv!!!! and floyd bragged. HA HA HA
pacman fought cotto the #6 p4p 2 months later and “only” got 1.3M ppv. and pacman did not brag.LOL
numbers don’t lie, but numbers can be manipulated. there were reports that floyd-jmm fight only got 431,505 ppv subscription. it was reportedly discovered by IRS during auditing for tax purposes. if this is true, then perhaps the purpose of this padding, is to use as leverage for floyd in negotiation with pacman regarding purse split
Historians will note that all of his so-called significant wins were against fighters suffering a losing streak.Most of these so-called significant fights came against opponents that Mayweather had already outclassed and embarrassed years earlier.
Mayweather refuses to fight insignificant fights.Cotto was still up and coming and if Mayweather had fought and dominated him,they would’ve said he wasn’t a good opponent.
Mayweather made way more money fighting JMM than Paq made fightin Clottey.Paq is not the cash cow,Mayweather is.Luckily numbers are available and numbers don’t lie.Mayweather has made soooo much more money than Paq,but hey,Paq lives in a country where one U.S. dollar is worth ten people so he has that going for him.
i refrain for commenting some die hard Floyd fans. Not only floyd very jealous on pacman achievement but the floyd fans is very very very very very jealous.lol
ryan,
once again u owned these haters!
well done mate
How come with all the media interviews, nobody is asking Floyd Mayweather Jr. what is the defining moment, the turning point of his life that made him decide to clean the sports of boxing of FEDs?
Surely a great and noble deed like that, got to have a deep reason.
He claims he is greater than Ali and SRRobinson and he fights only for the money. Certainly, a fight with PACMAN is the richest walk in the park for him.
Yet, all the BS about the Olympic style testing. However, I look at it. I can’t see it other than a lame excuse to avoid a fight.
@joedogg: jd is absolutely right
An easy test…I’d suggest anyone interested in gauging the interest in boxing pre and post pac: go back on this forum to the time prior to december 2008 prior to pac v odl and look at the number of postings to any articles and post pac v odl…
you’ll see an exponential rise in readership manifested by a commensurate rise in postings concurrent with pac’s most compelling journey through the divisions, leaving a trail of devastation unparalleled in this and many generations to come.
@Big Lo
As I understand it, there is only ever ONE purse, and the negotiations come down to how it is split. The penalty, however, is based on the TOTAL PURSE value, not just the part that particular fighter receives from it.
It has nothing to do with PPV btw, that’s a separate part of the negotiations.
…ryan
@Ryan,
I’m interested in knowing more about the NSAC weight penalty stipulations. Is it 20% of BOTH purses combined? I have never heard this before, and I understood that the $50 mill was a combined purse for both (not including PPV sales).
I don’t know what all the bihing is about. Its great for boxing that pacs doin his thing. Boxing was ing dead before this guy came around and got some life back in it. Nobodys talkin about MMA passing boxing no more, no ones sayin boxings dead. Thats all thanks to pac. Hell if he can force money may to fight some real welters (finally) then what’s the problem? I’m down with pac, boxing has been on it’s last breath for a while without this guy. If i remember right that was under the watch of pretty boy AND the golden boy. They didn’t do s to bring attention to the sport, it was a fu joke for several years running. Now you can’t get anywhere online and people are pimpin it. Real boxing fans should thank god pac showed up, a dude who doesn’t run around like a lil bi, a dude who knocks people the k out. Last time I checked thats what people wanna see in a fight. Boxing’s back, sit back and enjoy it…Lets just hope it lasts
Pacqiao is alright his camp is picking the fights he can win he’s just a brawler with speed and respectable power.
This kid and Ozzy have been dropped way too many times as a baby. I wouldn’t waste my time on these idiots.
Hey BenTheMoron! Go google decade you freeking ROCK!
BenTheMan
HOW CAN PACMAN BE FIGHTER OF THE DECADE WHEN HE WAS KNOCKED OUT TWICE BY NOBODIES…AND THERE WERE ALSO 2 NO DECISIONS BY NOBODIES…
THE FIGHTER OF THE DECADE IS MOST SKILLED…MOST EXPERIENCED…NEVER BEEN KNOCKED OUT…MOST TALENTED….AND ALSO BE UNDEFEATED
PRETTY BOY FLOYD!!! HE’LL DESTROY PACMAN LIKE HE DID TO THEN RATED 2 POUND PER POUND PEE PEE DRINKER MARQUEZ..
PACMAN FANS EXCUSE SHALL BE THAT ITS UNFAIR FIGHT THAT FLOYD BEATS UP ON LITTLE MAN.
@ozzy osborne
Oh also, you telling me JMM was a bigger risk to Floyd than Clottey was to Manny?
You on crack or SOMETHING!?
…ryan
If this ppv does the numbers that CNN reported that it may do, than I highlty doubt Mayweather will be jealous of Pacquiao. Especially when you factor in that Pacquiao pays a percentage of his purse to Golden boy and Top rank.
ryan
who the heck cares about the last 40 fights ?? your idol fought a tomato can when he is supposed to be the best… alot of people hate the fact that pac-duck would not fight mosley or mayweather so they fight each other !! sorry if it hurts some peoples feelings..tune in sat for the REAL fight !!
Until Pac-man and Money get it on in the ring, talk is cheap. Let’s see how May 1st goes first. At least we’ll have something concrete (one way or another) after that. Can’t wait for that one. Pac-man can fight the winner of that one. Berto should get a crack at one of the top three soon too.
Judging from the comments on this sight it seem’s like Manny got what he wanted out of making the statements he did!(He got people talking!)
Keep it up Manny and the ticket sales and PPV buys will just keep on rising! LOL
you guys know nothing about politics in the Philippines. so just shut up and stop judging the MAN….
Oh and for the record, this was discussed and debunked before:
Pacquiao’s last 40 opponents have MORE wins, FEWER losses and MORE knockouts than Floyd’s opponents.
And yes, 40 fights ago they were BOTH fighting no names, so don’t try and pull that card.
…ryan
Wow the dude dat wrote dis gotta b on sumthing gh dnt make u better he obviously dnt kno nothing about steroids n pac fought cotto at a weight advantage dumb ass
@BenthewoMan and lilGiant
Manny’s losses were in the late 90s when he was a very green kid starving and dehydrating to keep fighting at flyweight.try again.
That interview was a fake.Have you read the whole thing?Translated or not, nothing in that interview is how Manny really speaks. The whole thing is easily a fabrication and a poor one at that. He speaks with a humility that you don’t have when you claim to be the face of boxing the way he supposedly does.
@Lil Giant and Ben
Jealous much?
surpass mayweather’s achivement?
what has he done?
fought the same hatton and DLH mayweather fought?
yes he did fight cotto
but mayweather is going to fight mosely
i dont see much difference….
dela hoya was older and at catch weight for pacman and ricky wasnt the same fighter.. mayweather beat marquez easy and manny had his face punced in. allso zab juda aturo gatti .. cotto ducked mayweather.
@pacisnosaint: that is some serious gangsterism there…now I know for a fact pbf is jealous for sure, I mean how can you top armored vans, assasination attempts, ambush, hired assassins, political intrigue…in an out of the ring, Pacman is the baddest mofo around, and that my friend is not something you can buy, floyd.
everybody says how floyd soften de la hoya and hatton.i think they say that cuz floyd wasnt able to beat them like pacquiao did..theirs no way hatton and De La Hoya were still soft from floyd.
Mayweather’s looking like a demon in training camp. RIP Shane Mosley.
mayweather and mosley are not jealous of him.. whats there to be jealous of ?? every one that knows anything about boxing knows thats titles are a dime a dozen and have almost zero credibility !! look at all the fighters pac fought comin off a loss.. if they beat pac are they champions too..lmao !! what did they do to earn a shot ?? paciauo is the one jealous because there is a real fight this weekend not an exibition !! pac should just keep fighting those comin off losses !!
PAC is quick but aint gt no defense & thats why FMJ will win by UD although i want PAC to win so he shuts FMJ mouth
@QB
i guess iam just dissappionted like everyone else about that fight not happening….its as dissapointing as the edwin valero tragedy.
i love boxing. i just hate it when something goes wrong some how some way for a fight not to happen. but this floyd/pac fight was the one to really bring joy to boxing fans, regardless who wins. i think floyd and roach might have been in on it, but not manny. the dude has determination and too much heart. a true warrior…
Take the test Pacman
@badasboxer
u may have a valid point but I believe this fight being made is never in doubt. The consesuis opinion of both camps was march 13th was too soon to properly promote the fight. Roach even suggested that date didn’t leave enuff time to prepare his fighter. Manny schedule was forcing that date. So they put a big but shady fuss about drug testing. Again both parties involved. Free pub for the eventual fight. The fight WILL happen with or without testing. Most likely they will agree with one of the compromises proposed to the judge. Mayweather uses the “failed agreements” to his own tatical advantage by mentally defeating PAC. The extra time presented that opp
It’s funny Pacquaio who’s always been a humble and quiet fighter decides now to talk trash a week before the Mayweather-Mosley fight could it be that after the Clottey fight people have not had much to say about the man and all interest has shifted Mayweather’s way? Seems like Team Pacquaio realizes there buzz is dying and prays Mosley wins
Whether he fights Pacquiao or not he’ll be cashing one of the biggest checks of his career come May 1st, possibly the biggest.
@laughing
You make some valid points, the most valid being that styles make fights but you have left out another important factor and that´s the fact that this is boxing and in a sport where 2 guys are trying to kill eachother anything can happen, it only takes 1 punch for all those theories to be invalidated.
Every once in awhile a guy comes along that does something that nobody can believe or that nobody has done before, like a Mike Tyson or in this case Pacman. We´ve heard it all, he´s one dimensional, he´s not a boxer, he´s a brawler, he has no defense, he can´t beat a technical fighter and yet he continues to defy the odds, he continues to put away the competition in ways nobody thought possible.
Does it mean Pac will beat Floyd, no, but he does have a chance. In most cases you´re right, the boxer defeats the puncher but when you have a guy with such intensity, that throws such a high volume of punches for the entire fight, that won´t let you breathe or get off your normal amount of punches and that is on you like white on rice it´s anyones game. Floyd is a sniper and Manny is a machine gun, with the bullets coming from every angle non stop the sniper might not be able to get off those accurate shots like he normally can. A betting man would pick Floyd because of the style matchup and they might be right but I think the fight will be much more interesting than anyone thinks and I just hope it actually happens.
wow the author of this article is lame. he took my comment off because he got WHOOPED! SEARCH PACQUIAO EXPOSED ON YOUTUBE!!!
People constantly use the same tired arguements for why a fighter will beat another fighter. If you are trying to gauge whether are not one fighter will defeat another based on their power, you know nothing about boxing. If you are trying to gauge whether are not one fighter will defeat another based on how they fared against common opponents, you know little about boxing. Styles make fights; It took Mayweather 10 rounds to put Hatton away. It probably would have took Mosley 4 or less, but what does it all mean? Does it mean Mosley will beat Mayweather? No. Skills win fights. Ring generalship wins fights. I think people wish that boxing was all about power, and KO’s; that way they could put up a better argument for why they believe the particular fighter they think is the best will defeat every other boxer.
Anyone that doesn´t think that Floyd vs Manny will happen at some point is kidding themselves. Even if Floyd loses to Shane inevitably a fight with Manny would produce so much money that the ´check cashing machine´ Floyd Mayweather would not be able to turn down that fight and I think in fact that fight would make much more than Manny vs Shane because essentially Shane and Manny are 2 nice guys, there´s so much more drama with Floyd. It really is nonsense to debate about blood tests, who is scared, who is not, and you really need to take your emotion out of the equation because at the end of the day it becomes a business decision and I would be absolutely and completely shocked if Manny vs Floyd doesn´t happen by years end or early next year, for the sport, for the money, for the fight to not happen would be almost unfathomable.
pacman v floyd it has to happen,i’ve got a feelin they’re both milking this so that the public interest will be so huge they will both earn 30-40 million each.
its easy and simple QB.
floyd should of never came out with the drug testing cp in the first place. its called provocation. floyd knows how to provoke to get into your head to beat you before the fight, and now to back out of a fight with pac man….why did floyd have to pull this card with pac man all of a sudden….thats why i know pac man will beat floyd, because of floyds poor excuse of testing…what a bih move. by the way, mosley and pac man are the ones who know how to mimick floyds defense and dismantle it…
@LIL GIANT
Starting with Corrales, when Floyd TRULY stepped up to face championship fighters at the elite level, his KO ratio is 31%.
And starting with Barrera, when Manny TRULY stepped up to face championship fighters, his KO ratio is 56%.
Ironically, for both fighters, that pivotal moment happend exactly 16 fights ago. Floyd has clearly proven he has become a premiere “boxer” while Manny has determined to become one of the most dangerous knock out artists under heavyweight at the elite level.
Both guys deserve their props, but let’s use the here and now as our starting point, and remember that Pacquiao had no real amateur background and Floyd had over 80 fights before setting foot inside a ring as a professional. If you don’t think that matters, I don’t know what to say.

Seymour Bhutts
PBF knockout % is 62% and PAC 68%. PBF stand still enough to knock ppl out
Lol this is so funny smh PAC has already lost and they haven’t even gotten in the ring yet. It’s over mentally. Can u imagine the verbal abuse PAC will take on 24/7!!! Roach will have a nice gameplan but PAC will abandon it when it’s effectiveness begins to fade, leaving him to be pick apart by the taller and much longer mayweather. PAC has great speed but short arms. He won’t get close often enuff to when on points. His has good power but usually thru combination punching so he want be able to land more than one shot at a time. All the fighters he’s beaten, as good as they are, are nowhere in the same league as mayweather and nowhere near similar in styles. Everyone says who has mayweather fought like PAC. What they forget is mayweather is a master adjuster with skills to fight any style. U can’t say the same for PAC except out of speculation. Everyone he’s fought has either stood rite in front of him or came after him. Both styles trading blows with him. The closest to mayweather has been the boxer/counterpunching Marquez….Marquez gave him hell!!! If he gave PAC so much trouble, why would PAC beat mayweather who is without a doubt the best defensive counter puncher since Pernell withaker??? When boxers fight they do NOT put ther resumes on the hands to fight with them. Just their gloves. I understand that many don’t like FM but I make a habit of picking winners with my mind and not my heart. Mayweather by easy UD. I would like to hear why I’m wrong
same thing goes for you dom…why dont you just give me some dom you dumb lame ass idiot…..
Pacquiao would’nt take a test for 40 million? = ON PEDS
Pacquiao wants the fight with Floyd but Roach & Arum don’t want the cash cow to go to the slaughter house!!!!
Manny fights boxers on losing streaks and Floyd puts them on losing streaks.
Pacquiao is the P4P catchweight champ
Mayweather is the real King.
if you were in pacman’s shoes do you have to comply to an @$$#()<*'s demand? it was only a challenger's demand and pacman didn't have to comply, but he did tried…and look what happened! it was floyd's demand, and pacman only asked for schedules that won't bother his training…but floyd then started smear campaign to destroy pacman's reputation. doesn't it smell something fishy to you americans…that it was a frantic signal that floyd doesn't want the fight?
if you were pacman, do you have to go through indignities to chase a fight? do you really think that it would be the last demand and floyd is ready to face you?
if you were pacman, do you have to chase a fight that floyd has no intention to make?
TO ALL FLOYDIOTS: IT MAKES NO SENSE TO CHASE A JEALOUS BUT TERRIFIED FLOYD!!!
dell, i bet you are a dumb ass loud mouth just like floyd….damn, cant you people just shut your damn mouth for once….damn….yea i said you people……..thats exactly what i said…….
dell, i think we all figured you are african american by the way of your defending of floyd. get your african american head out your black as and recognize ch who is the best of the best. the pac man is a gangster fighter who fights and who doesnt run like floyd. that is why floyd is so damn boring. pac man brings the fight. floyd is just a loud mouth you know what. yes go ahead and fill in the blanks……..n_____!
My thing is this. Floyd has no problem at making 147. Pacquiao and his camp were looking for a way out the fight against Floyd Mayweather by a 10 million dollar payout if he goes over 147. The biggest floyd has ever been in any fightg has been 150 pounds so he signed. All floyd asked manny to do is take a random drug test. This isn’t baseball or football. One man controls the out come in boxing. Cheating is never ok to win in sports and it’s funny to me that people say floyd should just fight a cheater. If paquiao was accussing floyd of being on peds this conversation would be diffrent. I’m an African American. I know what it is. You people who disagree eyes are still glued shut. wake up.
Post below is @ Peplz
As for Marquez being left out of the comparisons. Pacquaio fought him at his natural weight which Pacquaio also weighed at the time. Floyd made him balloon up to welterweight which is a weight Marquez had no business fighting at as his body isn’t made that way and Floyd was still heavily fined for coming in well over the weight. I suppose i’m racist for pointing that out now am i?
tiger – you are one stupid MF. for surewhere the hell do you get your info!rmation
Sounds as if Pac is a little envious of this fight & how it may leapfrog Mosley or Mayweather ahead of him.
Fernando Vargas was caught using PED’s when he fought De La Hoya. Vargas came out looking like a beast but then tired out and was stopped towards the end of the fight. I dont know if Manny is taking PED’s and I dont know how much it would help him in a fight. I do know that its not impossible to do what Manny is doing without the PED’s. With sacrifice and hard work hard things can be accomplished. If the PED’s do help you get ready for a fight then I dont think Vargas was taking the right one’s when he got TKO’d by De La Hoya.
If half of the people that wrote comments here would just write and not try to write the way that they talk we would be able to have much more constructive conversation.
most idiots here are americans who wants pacman to take the test.
ONLY IDIOTS SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO TESTS THAT IS MORE THAN WHAT THE COMMISSION REQUIRES. LOOK AT FLOYD AND SUGAR MAKING A FOOL OF THEMSELVES BY DOING SOMETHING UNNECESSARY.
and they are americans….

PBF FIRST FIGHT at WW against Sharmba Mitchell. you really dont watch boxing
Obviously growth harmones do a fighter better!!! It adds more power, speed, stamina, & mental edge. So plastic of paris didn’t make AM better than he really was… come on guy. If Mayweather took growth hormones he would have a lot more KO’s, Cotto would be a beast as well. It definitely doesn’t make the fighter but improves the abilities to another level with less work so hard workers like Manny, Mayweather, & Cotto would for sure benifit from this don’t be a fool. I like the blood testing rule. There’s no reason why the sport shouldn’t do everything it can to protect their fighters from death. Every state should have the same rules inforced across the board & punishment should be severe.
Mayweather is quality but yeah he probably is jelous of paqman cus hes (mayweather) a gobby showoff he doesnt get accolades like pacman
I think Manny is probably right in that his popularity has surpassed Floyd. More people vehemently hate Floyd than actually like him, more people want to see him lose than win, more people tune in to the fights in the hope that Floyd gets beat on the flip side more people genuinely enjoy watching Manny´s fights, more people like Manny the person, more people tune into Manny´s fights to see just how great the guy is, what will he do next. That my friend is popularity and Manny has Floyd beat hands down in that department, Manny is an international superstar, the same cannot be said about Manny. Don´t be mistaken, I´m not referring to skills, I´m talking about appeal and popularity and in that sense Manny is the undisputed champion right now.
ur sayin mayweather didn luk as good beating dela hoya an hatton even tho he still beat them but wat about jmm he giv him a boxing lesson any time pac fought jmm there was no lesson taught was there. mayweather is wel better than manny far 2 smart of a fighter for pac sure even dela hoya has fought gr8 fighters an he says the best hes fought was pretty boy floyd. all use floyd critics will c wen mosley gets a boxing lesson come may 1st.
Mayweather technically is better than Manny IMO. His defense is better, movement, ring generalship, is just a fast, & accurate. But I believe Manny isn’t far behind except for defensively. Manny also has a lot of heart. It would be a great fight & I can see anyone of the two coming out victorious.
This back and forth is retarded, there´s only one way to settle it and it´s in the ring
you got to eat crow on this one sorry!!!
IMO Manny & Roach would’ve never taken the fight with Cotto if he never fought a heavy handed AM. Roach himself said Cotto wasn’t the same though Manny gets all the credit for stepping through the ropes & Cotto was in great physical condition. Hatton was already deflatted mentally by Mayweather as well though Manny landed a perfectly placed punch putting the English man to sleep. Mayweather & Manny are totally different fighters. I’m not a fan of Mayweather’s mental mind games but admire his work ethic. Manny who knows but I hope his personality reflects his hard work & he isn’t descracing himself nor the sport.
so fm needs to step it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes fm came in over the limit but would it really have made a difference ?? nope..
Whatever will be…… will be !
@ozzy
Only the Mayweather’s fans think he’s best boxer out there. Remember the US Boxing writers voted Pacquiao the Fighter of the DECADE. Who do you think will ordinary fans listen? You and the Mayweather fans or the US boxing writers? You make me laugh so bad.
mannys first fight at ww was cotto .fm first fight at ww was jmm and fm came in over the limit.
ozzy /fm avoided the whole ww division .manny did not?
shane will knock floyd’s mouth off!
first of all i dont believe pac would say that may is jealous of him, he is too reserved.. second if he did is it on camera? id like to see it.. what is there to be jealous of ?? manny avoided mayweather , mosley , and williams among others to fight clottey ?? all those so called titles of this or that are just hype.. they are manufactured by promoters n such to hype up a fighter with limited skills (but high entertainment value)..mayweather is the best out there as voted by the fans !! more people want to see him fight than anyone else.. talk is cheap, so until pac or mosley beat him in the ring mayweather is still king !!
lil giant /you like fm ok but actions speek louder .manny p4p all time great.
Tiger Woods still has room for improvement, Kobe Bryant still has room for improvement. To say that Floyd doesn´t have room for improvement and is 100% complete is about the most ignorant statement I´ve seen on this site. You act like he´s perfect and cannot get any better, that´s the stupidest thing I´ve ever heard, get off your high horse and wake up.
DC
Thats y it was a warm up fight. Since Marquez and Manny are the same size does this mean Manny is to small for PBF too. If the two fight and PBF wins is that what ppl will be sayin. Cuz b4 the Marquez fight no one was sayin anything bout the size diff
TIGER
In boxing you have to earn the right in the ring to fight a great fighter. Top Rank fighters are the only fighters that can lose a fight and then get a title shot. Cotto vs Yuri and Clottey vs Manny. PBF doesn’t fight LOSERS. ONLY MANNY DOES.
Very convenient of you to leave Marquez out of your comparison of the two fighter’s performances against the same fighter.
tiger
by that comment you are telling me there isn’t anything he needs to improve at in the ring. He beat the C or B Hatton and Oscar b4 PAC. so if he gets no credit for those fighters PAC deserves even less cuz he beat them after PBF. And he fought OSCAR at 154 not 145. And that C or B fighter Marquez gave PAC DA BIZ so what does that make PAC. You really make no sense. So what you are sayin is Cotto an Clottey made PAC. PAC is a good fighter but PBF is special. And don’t forget Shane begged Arum and Roach to fight PAC after the Margirito fight and Arum and Roach said NO. Shane said he would fight PAC at a catch weight and they could pick the ring size, glove size and spilt the purse 50/50. Manny and Arum still said no.
Marquez was 2 weight classes smaller than Floyd. Hope you know that.
lil giant /at least manny has the balls to fight cotto and clottey fm ducked the whole ww division to fight 135 lb marquez .if cotto got a beating why did fm not see that and fight him ?
tiger1223usa
When he came back Cotto had just got killed by Margirito. So he wasn’t got to pull a PAC and fight a loser. Margirtio had just got demolished by Mosley and he didn’t want to pull a PAC and fight a loser. So the only person for him to fight would have been Shane. And fighting Shane there is no money in that. Instead he fought Marquez with a whole country behind him. And that fight was easy work. Now if he would have fought a smaller fighter or someone like Clottey I would have had problems with PBF. But he tried to get a fight with Pac but that fell through. Now he is scheduled to fight Shane. I mean damn who do you want this dude to fight. Now I heard Arum was just about to close a deal for PAC to fight Valero before he killed his wife and himself. Now are you serious. Not Bradley Alexander or the winner PBF SHANE.
lil giant /fm needs to IMPROVE on the fighters he fights .he looks good fighting c and b level fighters ,we will see sat night !
tiger1223usa
For a fighter to improve shows that their is room for improvement. Manny still has room for improvement while PBF is already complete. Their is no room for improvement because he is perfect. You can’t improve on perfection. Im not sayin May is the perfect fighter cuz he’s not but there isn’t anything he needs to improve on in the ring.
lil giant / my point was fm could fought some one at ww top 5 no my babby brother
tiger1223usa
And Marquez was easy work for Mayweather. Marquez only landed like 10% of his punches. Mayweather made Marquez look like a bum. And this was off a 20 month layoff. That fight was a joke. Manny is a good fighter but PBF is special. His skill level is so much higher than any other fighter in the game. SKILL SKILL SKILL. There isn’t one thing Manny does in the ring better than PBF. If so what is it. And throwing more punches isn’t a skill
An * could be placed next to every victory every great fighter ever had. Why do we have to keep making this argument? A fighter has to fight the best fighters out there and do what he can to win. Should fighters just avoid other fighters because they have already lost before to someone else? Are we to only see undefeated fighters versus undefeated fighters always and settle for nothing less? That’s impossible. When Pacquiao fought Barrera did anyone really think he would win? Not really. But after the fact they say “well Barrera was old”. Many people felt Oscar was too big for Manny, but after the fact people say “well Oscar was too old”. Ali came off a couple of easy tuneups and was rusty when he fought Joe Frazier in the “Fight of the Century”. Does that take away from Joe’s win? Ray Leonard caught Hagler at the end of his career and only fought Hagler after he saw signs of him being so slow against Mugabi. Does that take away from Ray’s win? We all know Gatti had no chance in hell against Floyd, one of the most obvious mismatches between top fighters you will ever see. Does an asterisk go next to Floyd’s win? You can go on and on about this for every fighter but the bottom line is both fighters are supposed to be prepared and come in to the fight in shape and the best man wins. If you win you’re the better man. That’s it. No asterisk needed. If you’re wanting a perfect fighter versus a perfect fighter who are you gonna watch?
manny has improved a great deal ,manny out boxed od .rh.and cotto.mannys punches where right on the button .manny set up hatton jab to the eyes then lights out.
lil giant /fm fought little marquez after the wars with pac and diaz ,come on now pac fought the tougher risky fights ,
Take the test Pacquiao.If your clean,you got nothing to worry about. I dont know if he is on drugs,but the only way to prove that YOUR NOT is to take the test. If you have nothing to hide,then what the problem?
@tiger1223usa
Being defensive is FMJ’s style,he does the same thing to EVERYONE!
Manny will be no different if he does not improve his approach against FMJ!
Out of the two I like watching Manny WAY better but go by what I see!
I like how the article says, that mayweather beat, hatton, and de la hoya, but not like pacquaio did. DUH, we all know what pac-mans on!!!! had pacquaio really wanna fight mayweather , he would’ve agreed to whatever! not make up these lil diva excuses! very disappointed in manny for chosing that route. VERY!!
mayweathers boring,dont care how good he thinks he is,he,s got no offense,hit and run hit and run,,,,,boring
@Free one:
I don’t know who is better until the two fight. The only thing we do know is that PBF has more skill then Pac and thats would be an opinion too. Those ppl you named are guessing and giving their opinion just like everyone else. All Im sayin is this cracker ass media has programmed ppl what to think. Cracker as$ Crackers.
Sauna you know your boxing. Floyd even called out Kostya Tyzu when he called out Mosley, but nobody wanted to fight Floyd until they saw he could generate big money now everybody wants a piece even old ass Tyzu!!!
Floyd has done it again, will idiots ever learn. Now all the sudden Pacquiao is talking trash. Got ya buddy (Floyd’s voice) hahaha!!! He has gotten into Manny’s head and this is going to result in a resounding ass-whoopin for Pacquiao!
fmj amature record 84 wins 6 losses
saua /manny did great things no amature fights ,fm had 6 amature losses manny fought the best .thats why he is p4p floyed needs some carrer defining fights.
mike /thats clotteys style he would of did the same to fm and possiably hurt fm.
I find Manny’s fights way more entertaining than FMJ’s fights but after seeing how Clotty made Manny punch nothing but gloves and elbows the entire fight plus Clotty’s ability to hit Manny with the jab whenever he threw it raises concerns for Manny’s team! FMJ’s defence is on another playing field compared to Clotty’s,who’s defence consists mainly of blocking punches with his arms/gloves,where FMJ can block and evade like pretty much no one!
When they fight I see Manny getting shutout by FMJ’s incredible defence and FMJ’s faster single and double shots. Manny may be a faster combination puncher but as Clotty was able to block most of Manny’s shots just imagine how few will get through on FMJ!
some of the people here compares on how floyd handled marquez better than pacquiao. they dont realize that marquez skip two weight divisions to fight floyd. real boxing fans knows that it is incomparable. pacquiao fought marquez at his best weight. floyd fought marquez at the weight he never fought before in his entire carrier.
just fight so we dont have to put up with this BS
I agree. Floyd Jr should consult a shrink. But, hey, that is costly too. So might as well let him fight Pacquiao. That would bring him back to reality that he is not the greatest as he claims he is.. And this time he wouldn’t lose money on a psychiatrist. but instead he would be paid millions. hek hek hek!
Comparing Floyd and Mannys abilities on the basis of who best handled Ricky Hatton may be a pointer, but should not be relied upon when or rather if these guys actually meet. Styles make fights and how much has Floyd got left? I’m not saying Floyd is better or Manny worse but if a bout takes place it may not follow any pattern we anticipate.
Its really amazing that these fans of Floyd are not letting up, even at the recent report of the Texas Commission that Pacquiao is negative on the steroid drug test conducted right after his fight with Clottey. Even when these experts guaranteed that they should have found it if its really there. They were so confident that they have the expertise and the state of the art equipments and laboratory to do this test, and they have found nothing. They rather beleived the words of a junky exconvict father of FloyDuck Mayweather. Its really amazing….
did floyd mayweather knock down Juan Manuel Marquez?like pacman did in their 2 fights?did floyd mayweather beat dela hoya like pacman did?making dela hoya like a punching bag?or did floyd mayweather beat ricky like pacman?then, what is boxing to you guyz?
lets not forget fm and his 6 amature losses .manny had no amature fights think about that.
I guess PAC can play head games too. He’s been fairly quite up until a week before may vs. mosley, do you think his trying to throw Floyd off his game by predicting he will lose and now he’s saying Floyd is jealous of his accomplishments? Personally I think it’s about time PAC voiced himself, listening to his trainer and promotor all the time was getting old. Now all PAC has to do now is tell his team to get him the winner of mosley vs. mayweather, and quit letting them do all of his talking.
kfc is the peking duck of boxing! and biggest loud mouth insecure of all!!lol
to all mayweather fanatics out there;
pac had a hard time fighting JMM because JMM is a counter puncher which at his own comfortable weight division and by that time pac is a one handed boxer unlike now he is a well developed boxer, he keeps learning every time he steps in the ring.
Unlike mayweather fight, JMM is the one whos attacking!…WE all know that JMM is famous on his counter punching ability!… how can JMM use his advantage if his on offensive attack?… though mayweather is a bigger guy!… Not all that, mayweather cheated on his weight just to assure his victory.. We all know that JMM was having hard time in 135lbs how much more in 144lbs!……. he did not even fought at 140lbs!
BUGO!
@YAWN
Dam. Pacquiao pays two promoters? I didn’t know that. Why would Mayweather be jealous of that?
This writer has no idea about the sport of boxing. He’s clearly a Pactard.
Mayweather has 6 World titles in 5 weight classes (5 WBC)
Pacquiao ducked Mosley last year who was the WBA champion in order to fight Cotto for a vacant WBO paper belt. He could have fought the undefeated Berto who was the WBC champion. Instead he fights Top Rank’s Cotto who was damaged goods after Margacheato.
Pacquiao needs to take the drug tests, there is no problem at all in taking a blood test if your a CLEAN athlete. He’s obviously not clean or he doesn’t want to fight in prime fighters because this lawsuit is getting no where and he’s rejecting testing. These are facts that the writer of this article needs to look at, he’s an absolute reatard who knows nothing about boxing.

Surpassed 5 WBC World Titles?
This writer tries making out that the fighters Pacquiao beat were in their prime. DLH was old & drained, Hatton was beaten by Floyd when he was undefeated & Mayweather totally dominated Marquez after 2 years off whereas Pacquiao looked horrible against Marquez. Mayweather is also fighting Mosley this weekend, the same Mosley who Pacquiao ducked last year, also Mosley is taking drug testing because he has nothing to hide. Stop chatting Pacroid and take a drug test.
Manny has won trinket belts and Floyd has won all major titles.Manny fights boxers on losing streaks and Floyd puts them on losing streaks.Floyd has fought the better competition Manny has fought sheep herders, taxi drivers and gardeners.Floyd has rained longer as champion Manny hasn’t dominated one weight class.Floyd has beaten more champions then Manny has.What is this writer talking about?
SABEMBE
floyd not fighting the best out there ?? say what ?? he fought jmm on all p4p lists at the time, and beat him more convincingly than anyone else, then he tried to fight that guy with all those manufactured titles like of the decade or whatever – but he wanted to fight a tomato can instead – so he foght mosley … how is this not fighting the best ??
Two cherry-pickers contending who is better at cherry-picking. LOL. Pac, so far, has been more successful getting the most out of it.
Mayweather should attend a psychiatry clinic.
What if Mayweather been alleged as cheater without substance, would Floyd fans be happy?
Anyway the proof that Mayweather is talking out of his mind has been proven by claiming himself greater than Ali. This guy is not just jealous with Pacquiao, but jealous to all GOAT boxers. HOw can he be greater than Ali when in fact he is not pighting the best out there he is fighting for money. I hope he hears his own words when he talks.
To all concerned. Sorry if I say it is stupid to buy a nonsense allegation coming fron nonsense people like the Mayweathers.
Manny stick to beating come forward hand-picked guys from Top Rank because Mayweather would Fcuk you up son.
Pacquiao will not fight until he has AN ADVANTAGE!! Mayweather would school this little pinoy badley
MOSLEY WOULD KO PACQUIAO.
Yes Manny looked better beating Hatton & ODLH & hey he would proberbly looke better beating anyone Mayweather has beaten. But SO WHAT!!! Point is If Pacquiao is allowed to fight Mayweather then there will be only one outcome a Mayweather Pts WIN. Manny should go ask Arum & Roach why they don’t want him to fight Mayweather??? They both know Manny will be made to look a fool against Mayweather’s skill.
its hard to believe how people think that floyd shud forget that theres a possibility of manny cheating and shud man up and get into the ring…r u guys serious y shud he get in with a guy who might be cheating do u not feel cheated that manny might be cheatin i sure as hell do and if u ask me its manny who shud be the one manning up and let some1 put a small needle in his arm take his blood prove every1 wrong and see if he can beat floyd…cant believe how some fans r so biased its bad to see…
floyd is jealous that manny fought a tomato can !! but hey if all you tards want to see is manny beat ANYONE up, then more power to ya I say !!
Cotto,manny,shane all talented bt hey guys u can’t compare them witht floyd he is simple the best,we all knw they will try their best but not to beat mr floyd.undefeated till he retire I swear.
Pacman has surpassed Mayweather HA,he really is on drugs.
agree that no complaints from all 52 fights of pacquiao not until floyd came in.
i hope shane would KO floyd cold
then floyd can say what he wants and even his dad won’t believe it 
You seem to have forgotten how Floyd dominated Marquez and Marquez BEAT Pacquiao, did that one just slip your mind you biased pick?

this are the fights you want to see. hmmmnnn unfortunately for you, pacman doesn’t fight for floydiots like you. pacman fights for true boxing fans. therefore he faces the best, not patsies just to entertain you.

floyd could not K.O a bloated ol’ marquez, what made you think floyd can K.O the klitchkos? is he pacman? HA HA HA.
Walay tuli
My man! We all know fights are not won just in the ring, but everything elses that comes with it. We saw it with Ali, Suger Ray even in the movie rock IV, so let us not look for small excuses let us look at the bigger picture… i like Pacman as a fighter but you cant from no where knock guys bigger than you and you claim it on Buddar…
The problem with Mayweather is his everlasting, non ending complaints. If he truly believes he is better than Pacquiao, he needs to show it inside the ring to shut-up his critics. Mayweather fanatic fans claimed Pacquiao is avoiding him. But if they really read the last official interview Pacquiao did. He said very clearly, his mom and his entire family wants him to retire but he said the family will talk about it, cuz he do wanted that Mayweather will be his last fight b4 he completely retires. But whenever Mayweather chances is there fighting Pacquiao, he comes up with another excuse. He has no proof Pacquiao is using something but he´s still insisting. If that is truth Pacquiao was already exposed long time ago! Pacquiao has 52 fights in his entire career and no one complained til Mayweather came in. Unbelievable!
Exactly. Whatelse? Floyd knows he has no shot at Pacquiao physically so he choose the verbal fight like a li’l girl.
zdrx
I see that you are a fun and not a sportsman, look these guys at the end of the day are the ones that get hit, and if you have any slight doubt abut a cheating sportsman, you need to subject him to the olympics way of dop testing, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact if i were you, i would not want to use the fact that Pacman was the man, it so happened that both fighters right now are it, just like Hutton?mayweather no one was it… but the fight showed who was the man…
I still feel your man is a junkie…
wot floyd would do to pac aint anything new pac has been kod in 2 accations hes been out boxed pacs the 1 thats jelous no 1 can beat floyd
Cut Pacquiao some slack. His frame is not really that of a legit weltherweight. Let him gather his confidence. After beating Cotto and Clottey, I’m sure Mosley and Mayweather wouldn’t be far from his plans.
back when imelda lost the Miss Manila beauty pageant back in the 60s, she made such a huge fuss of it that the mayor had to give her a ‘Muse of Manila’ title just to shut her up.
today you have fraud mayfeather who’s making such a huge douchebag of himself by accusing the pac-man for drug use, so that boxing commissions and the rest of the world could finally give him the adulation he craves.
to shut him up, the commissions should just tell him to GROW BALLS and fight the pac-man in the ring once and for all.
cowards have no place in the boxing ring. much less the hall of fame. what a shame.
yawn,
pacman CAN AFFORD to pay 2 promoters while floyd reportedly had issues with the IRS, garbage collectors, car loan etc.
Mayweather is jealous that people have given Pacman that P4P crown even though Floyd is still about. He still sees himself as the king himself.
We are in a wonderful position where the 2 boxers deemed the best on the planet are still boxing and in and around the same division. This doesnt happen often, theres only 1 end result when we are in a position like this. THEY FIGHT.
Unfortunatly For some reason Floyd has had to throw a spanner in the works once again with his rubbish demands, this time the drug test nonsense.
Surely if Floyd deals with Mosley this fight HAS to happen. It just has to. As for the blood takin rubbish Floyd needs to stop throwing these totally factless accusations around and just get in there.
THE MAYWEATHERS ARE ALL SICK ABOVE THE NECK AND THEY ALL NEED PSYCHIATRIC HELP. JUST READ THE PAPERS ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING..PENDING COURT CASES AND ALL THOSE… FLOYD GREATER THAN ALI AND ROBINSON?????WHAT A SICK MAN…
lol, the guy who has to pay percentages of his purses to TWO promoters thinks FMJ is ‘jealous’ of him.
SMH.
Its so funny to see people caught up in the drug testing… People just witnessed the biggest duck job in boxing history.. It was a brilliant duck job if i dont say so myself.. It has brought up countless debates and fueled emotions.. but once the smoke clears.. actions speak louder then words…
Pacquiao was the only one who signed the contract to fight..
I understand Floyd and the way he thinks.. fighting Pacquiao is a high risk investment.. If he loses, his legacy is forever tarnished.. he can go from making 10-20 mil a fight to 4-8.. or even less and those numbers are just too risky.. He has nothing to prove to himself if he keeps his undefeated status..
Yes, Floyds a beast with mad skills.. but he also understands the game of boxing, that anything can happen, especially against a man with an output of 1,200 punches..
If you think like a business man not fighting Pacquiao makes sense..
Shane on round 10 t.k.o
Listener,
1) have you any proof pacman is a junkie?
2) floyd is only a challenger. what authority does floyd have to order pacamn around?
3) only idiots comply to an @$$#*/^’s demands. and do you think pacman is like you?
4) only fools subject themselves to something more than what is required by the commission. and doesn’t this 2 look like clowns for doing so?
Taj,
What? You get bruised at times without even realizing it. Some people find bruises on themselves and don’t even realize how they got them. Just because you have bruises that doesn’t mean that you’re hurt. Get real. Manny was never hurt. Neither was Clottey. They can take pain. Things only start to hurt when you can’t take the pain. Get it?
Lazcano landed on Hatton but didn’t hurt him to put him down. Marquez landed on Pacquiao but didn’t hurt him to put him down. If you’re basing Hatton on how he looked against Lazcano, then why not base Pacquiao on how he looked against Marquez? Then, you would say that Pacquiao should be easily defeated because Marquez landed many shots. Yet Manny is still on top of his game. Manny wasn’t hurt. He won the fight. Hatton won the fight against Lazcano. So, who did Hatton fight before Pacquiao? Was it Malignaggi or Lazcano? Answer that one. I don’t think you know. How do you think he looked against Malignaggi? Did he look hurt?
What do you mean by asking what my point is about Juan Diaz? Diaz lost to Campbell and Malignaggi. A win against Diaz is nothing great for Marquez. That’s like Manny’s win over David Diaz. Marquez was shot by the time he got to Floyd. He was too heavy and too old. He jumped two weight classes and couldn’t beat Mayweather. It’s understandable. Manny jumped weight classes and beat the champions. Shot or not, they were the champions for a reason. Manny showed them what a real champ looks like.
I can’t believe you guys saying that BS… any trace will remain if you use a PED. also, you will never know what round will the fight end. calculating is just a waste of time.
why don’t you try to read your own post and say it again that clottey wasn’t get hurt.
you know people complained about WWE, but before your eyes Arum/Top Rank created a John Cena >> Manny Pac. this humble, nice, Jesus of Nazareth type of dude, and everybody is like Awwwww…..
OMG people wake up, all marketing and promotion.
manny agrees to take blood testing right after the fight (in the locker room) but why mayweather still reject it??? if you want to caught up a doper, taking his blood after the fight is the most effective way. now try to answer that BS…
@PAC g2g to work in a few we’ll continue this one again …lol. Hopefully Sunday.
@Blue never said Clottey doesn’t get hurt read again before talking…
@Pac it would be if they wouldn’t have asked for it before the SSM fight but they did but like i said before SSM already popped on it. You also have to think Roger and Floyd sr have been in boxing for how long???? I think they’ll know if something isn’t right with a fighter or not.I mean we are talkin Freddy Roach as his trainer…remember that James Toney situation?
YES MANNY YOU ARE RIGHT, MAYWEATHER IS THE GREATEST COWARD, DUCKING FIGHTER OF ALL TIME.
Pac man is a junkie, why refuse a legitimate request for a drug test 7 hours before the fight….. that’s all am saying …junkie….junkie
@PAC because Clottey’s a defensive fighter he’s not known for throwing a hundred punches a round he’s known for he’s chin and his defense offense is none existent which keeps him from being a elite fighter imo. But when he did connect with Pacman’s chin I think we all seen what happened…Pacman had that deer in the head light look he froze up like everytime. Like I said if Emmanuel Stewart would have been training Clottey before that fight we wouldn’t be having a pacman/mayweather convo
Any way.. the ssm-fmj fight should be good but I’m watching for free so PPV doesn’t get in the way with a future fight with Pac…
I gtg guys so enjoy the coming weeken… it should be fun to see who wins…
@taj
And this statement:
“Whatever he’s on my nephew will whoop his ass”
So what’s the random test for???? Doesn’t that sound contradicting to you?
clottey doesn’t get hurt!??? lolz. gimme a break… You better watch the fight again moron.
@taj
Put it this way, if Clottey didn’t get hurt with what little he copped, he wouldn’t have been hiding all night… The little chance that Pac got of hurting him, Clottey definitely felt it that’s why he was hiding…
And getting hurt is dependent on how much pain you can tolerate. Yes he took some damage, but it didn’t hurt him….
It’s like if I flick your hand you’d say it didn’t hurt, but it would still go red.. get it?
Lil giant… This once for u?????…
B-hop, s Ray Leonard Lenox Lewis, Kobe, Ron attest, kg, Avery jonhson, mark Jackson, regie miller, Emanuel steward, Holyfield, will smith, jay z, Denzel Washington, Brandon Jacob, David west, will I am, tha list is go n on n on.,,,,,, they all said tha PAC is tha “BEST” rite now n tha last decade..
@Bahrama you just made my points…if your battered an bruised guess what..YOU GOT HURT! Clottey wasn’t after the fight now was he? And Laz should have finished hatton in that fight I think you know that the same left hooks and upper cutts laz used your old boi’ pacman used to beat him. Go figure Floyd sr. told him to look out for it and guess what hatton being the fighter he was didn’t listen an got knocked out by it. And Diaz lost to Paulie the first time too he just got the home cooking the second time was to correct the wrong so what’s your point on that one?
@Curt20
You don’t get it… if you and I wouldn’t watch it then obviously it’s a flop of an idea.. that’s why he had to take shane or else not only is he going to ruin his PPV stat he would also just give more ammunition to his critics…
Mosley fight is definitely a move he would have rather avoided if he had an option…
Regardless if I watch or not Floyd still get paid which is my point
this another one makes me laugh.. If mayweather and pacman squares of, Mayweather will be battered like a punching bag and will come out to the ring like a battered CHICKEN..
@Curt20
The fallout with Berto and Mosley was a tragedy but if Mayweather didn’t fight Mosley he would have been crucified…
And I don’t know bout you but I wouldn’t have watched him against m.hatton or malignaggi…
Taj
Manny did not get hurt. If he did, he wouldn’t have been able to continue his work rate. Yes he was battered and bruised but he WASN’T HURT. Have you ever been hit before? I have. I’ve been bruised up but to say it hurts is different. If you can take pain, then it doesn’t hurt, even though it leaves you black and blue. Do you remember what the commentators said when Pacquiao was taking all of Cotto’s hits? They were saying that Pacquiao wasn’t hurt. By being hurt it means that he wouldn’t be able to continue doing what he was doing. Pacquiao absorbed all of Cotto’s, Clottey’s, and Marquez’s punches. If he was hurt, he wouldn’t have been able to continue the way he did. Look at Cotto. He was hurt. He couldn’t continue at all. Do you remember what they said about the times when Cotto was knocked down? They said that the first one didn’t hurt him and that he was hurt by the second one. After the second one, he was done. So you tell me. When did Clottey hurt Pacquiao? I don’t remember him slowing down, looking dazed, and looking desperate.
Hatton fought Malignaggi and Lazcano after Mayweather. He was able to beat them. He was back to his regular weight. He lost to Mayweather at welterweight. When he fought back at light welterweight, he continued winning. Now, Pacquiao beat him at his own weight class. You watched 24/7 I assume. Hatton was in top shape. He was back in his game. So, what are you talking about?
Next you talk about Marquez beating Juan Diaz. Diaz came off his first loss to Nate Campbell. If you say Hatton was shot, then Diaz must’ve been shot. He didn’t know how to handle losing. And this is the same Diaz who got punked by Malignaggi, a guy Hatton beat easily. So, what’s your point? Besides, you need to get your info straight. Marquez and Diaz fought at lightweight. Max Kellerman even said that their fight would determine who the best lightweight is. Marquez fought Floyd at welterweight. So, what does a fight with Diaz prove? If you’re comparing that to Manny and Hatton, Hatton fought his last 3 fights at light welterweight and got beat up by Manny. How many fights did Marquez have at welterweight? Answer that one.
@Curt20
Let’s be honest here… would you have watched him fight m.hatton or malignaggi?
@PAC…Roger Mayweather “Whatever he’s on my nephew will whoop his ass”. That’s kills that one I think. Yes I do believe some of that rumor about Floyd giving Berto money because Floyd was in a limbo for a opponent and nobody would have brought in the money like SSM except PACMAN. Berto could have easily pushed the fight back but to drop completely out and fight quintana a month and a half later…let’s get real. I sacrifice 3 million for 60 anyday
You’re right man. You ain’t have an idea coz you’re moron..,
Wow even mayweather can get under paquiaos skin. Lets be honest, maybe he is a little jealous of pacquiaos achievements. One on one i still think mayweather beats him.
@Curt20
I know why you think he doesn’t talk about Pac.. because he doesn’t say Pac’s name literally… dude who do you think he’s referring to when he says… “all im saying if you’re clean, take the test”
@taj
“Floyd giving Berto a few million…”
Are you kidding me? His team even went as far as considering M. hatton or malignaggi… The reason he is fighting Shane now is because he would have been hated even more if he didn’t….
Business side of things… I get that… they have to get as much money as they can before they retire.. but don’t complain if people diss him for his choices… it might be business for him but people see it as ducking… either way.. he did it himself…
And I agree with you that Pac was the reason he came back.. he announced his come back before the Cotto fight because if I am right he thought Pac would be easy… but when he saw what Pac did to Cotto, they had to accuse him of PED and everything to avoid him… Remember when Sr. said he would advice his son not to fight Pac…
@PAC because he told Cotto this and don’t forget Arum used to promote Floyd once upon a time aswell so it’s not like he doesn’t know what Floyds capable of don’t forget that…he’s not gonna just feed anybody to Floyd it’s bad business.
@PAC yessssssssssss unless your a hardcore boxing fan at that time how many people do you think knew who Cotto or Margorito was? But I bet they knew who OSCAR AND SHANE WAS!!! Hatton and Calzaghe are house hold names in Britian….like I said dude Floyd know’s he’s only got a few fights left so he’s only getting the fights that he know’s that will pay why settle for less?
He doesn’t say pacqiao not once..
I got on demand I’ve watched a few times what does Floyd say about pacman on 24/7 please tell me
@PAC people don’t understand the business aspect. Why do you think Floyd’s past few fights weren’t for titles? If he’s attached to a title then you have mandatory defenses against whoever big draw or not. If you don’t then you can move up and down an fight whom ever for whatever price…like I said dude it’s a business. Don’t get it twisted Floyd’s primary reason for coming back was to fight manny ..still is he couldn’t get it done so this was the next best thing with SSM and I do believe alil’ bit of the rumor besides the earthquake about Floyd giving Berto a few million to step aside when he could have just postponed the fight. Think about that for a sec..
@Curt
I suggest you watch all 3 episodes again…
@Curt20
Some people will cry foul, there’s always some….
It’s the same when Pac wins.. can you relate to that?
@taj
Come on… all Arum cares about is the money…. how would you know that he wouldn’t put Cotto there…
And “He lives in Puerto Rico..” are you really alright with that???
I have a feeling that if Floyd beat Shane n dcided not 2 fight PAC… PAC would go up wieght n fight who evah is available (with a title match).. n insted of going down or stay on 147.. He’ll gonna show/prove 2 people that he’s that good.. Unlike Floyd.. After Shane he might fight from 140′s.. I’m just saying that if not PAC. Why move up 2 154.
24/7 Floyd hasn’t said one word or a mention of pacqiao that was shane who brought pacqiao up every time they ask Floyd about pacqiao he says I’m fighting shane I’m not worried about anybody but shane mosley
@PACMAN just like SSM said he had a bad tooth once and he was going on vacation and he’ll let Oscar fight floyd first. Those where reasons why he didn’t fight floyd before. All in all it’s a business and the man’s name is MONEY! Floyd wasn’t as big of a draw then Oscar was..once he beat Oscar then he became one…Cotto now can just by losing to Manny. It’s not ducking sometimes it’s just business but Bob Arum wouldn’t have allowed it anyway and he told Cotto he wasn’t ready to fight Floyd.
Pac fan you know if Floyd wins the world will cry he was old just like if Floyd beat pacman they will say he was too small Floyd will never get credit unless he knock out both klitchko brothers point blank
@Yawn
Let me ask you, how many times has the name Pac come out of Mayweather’s mouth even when not asked about him?
24/7… did you watch?
Pac is getting interviewed, what do you expect.. Don’t get mad if Pac has something to say… or does it hurt too much?
Mayweather keeps running his mouth like nothing and it’s suppose to be ok?
@taj
As I mentioned before, what most people pick on him for is not what he did on the lower weights. And I myself wouldn’t dare to. He gets credit for that. He gets criticized because of the fights he’s picked since gettting into the welterweight division.
Nah, he doesn’t have a good point. He’s supposed to be running for office so why he’s still yapping about Mayweather? Floyd’s busy preparing for Shane Mosley. Remeber Shane Mosley? The guy that Pac refused to fight unless Shane starved himself to 142? And remember Floyd? The guy who Pac refused to fight because Floyd wanted him to submit to better drug testing?
Yeah, the same two guys that Pac totally ducked are now fighting each other. And Pac’s supposed to be running for office, but he’s talking Floyd.
SMH.
Jealous much, Manny?
@taj
It’s a double standard because people pick on Pac for apparently fighting shot fighters and people coming off loses.
Cotto won against Clottey but still people insist that he was shot because he already lost but Mosley isn’t shot even though he lost to Cotto?
Come on, it’s bright as daylight that that is double standards..
And for the record, I don’t think Mosley is shot, I think he can keep it competitive but I still believe Mayweather will win it by points…
If cotto beat beat foreman then get ready for a rematch with pacqiao
@Curt20
He is getting credit for it because if he didn’t he wouldn’t be thought of as a really great boxer and a sure hof.
The problem that people pick with him on is since he got to the welter weight division, he has avoided top draws…
One example on an interview, Mayweather was asked, “why wouldn’t you fight Cotto?”…
His answer… “Cos he lives in Puerto Rico.”…….
Now would you as a fan swallow that answer?
Pacman fan….no it isn’t Mosely just beat Margarito for the title a guy who ISN’T promoted by Bob Arum..get what I’m saying? He lost to Cotto who lost to Margarito…how is that a double standard?
So now we give credit for fighting the biggest fighter instead of the best fighter ok I understand
Brahama I can answer a couple of these for you…did you see hatton in the fight he had before he fought Pacman? That should answer that if not..who has he fought since and have you seen him lately? Marquez didn’t just stand in front of manny and become a punching bag an to say that manny didn’t get hurt in the last fight with Clottey what fight what you watching? If Clottey had Emmanuel Stewart then (which he does now) we wouldn’t even be talking about a possible mayweather pacman fight. Besides that fact Marquez was ranked number 3 p4p and just came off a Diaz stoppage before he fought Floyd so that also answers that. No matter what background they came from a drug testing shouldn’t have prevented the fight for happening…end of story.
Don’t even use the bigger man excuse because Floyd got no credit for moving up beating bigger men castillo baldomir Oscar now shane come on
@Curt20
We can all complain that fighters don’t fight other fighters we want them to fight to but in the end, they can only fight a certain number, they can’t fight them all at one time, if you can actually say the Pac picked an easier fight by going up the scales rather than fight the guys you want him to fight, I would have believed you. But trying to go up the scales and fighting a bigger guy isn’t exactly easy, that’s why there are only a handful who can be champions on different weight classes….
Yall cry all the time about the fighters Floyd supposedly ducked at welter but don’t say a word about pacman avoiding Chris john nate Campbell Juan diaz zahir Raheem I mean these are fights I wanted to see as a fan
@taj
I agree that Team Pac did avoid Mosley when he first offered to fight Pac but ofcourse Pac has to test the waters in welter because he’s only just getting into that weight. And plus for the fact that he fought Cotto who beat Mosley.
And let me remind you as well that it was Dela Hoya who decided on the catch weight not Pac. The first catchweight that team Pac actually proposed was Cotto.
If you pick on Pac for fighting a guy who lost a fight or 2 fights before, well isn’t Mosley the same? He lost to Cotto…. That’s playing double standards….
Q……
How did Hatton come in drained when they fought at light welterweight, which is Hatton’s weight, and he came in weighing more than Pacquiao. Don’t tell me he overtrained because we all know that Pacquiao trains more than anyone else out there. Hatton just tried to keep up but couldn’t. Hatton knew that 8 weeks wasn’t enough to beat Pacquiao. Obviously, neither was 12 weeks.
Kevin……
What exactly did Marquez do to Pacquiao that Cotto and Clottey didn’t do? They all gave Manny a beating and yet none were able to hurt him, knock him down, or defeat him. So, what exactly did he do? Don’t tell me he exposed Manny because everyone and their mothers know how to beat Pacquiao. They just can’t. Plain and simple. Marquez supposedly exposed him in their first fight and did the same thing to him on their second fight. Yet Marquez kissed the canvas again. For someone who has exposed Pacquiao, he sure likes to take a beating do so. And we all know that he held on to the ropes. He even walked to the wrong corner, chasing Pacquiao. Embarrasing!
Jones…..
Good points! Marquez at 36 and going up 2 weight classes doesn’t exactly make him the fighter that fought Pacquiao. Plus, after the beating he got from Pacquiao, he should be considered shot. Everyone else says that Cotto was shot because he lost to Margarito. Everyone else says that Oscar was shot because he was too old. So, what exactly does that make Marquez when fighting an overweight Mayweather? Hmmm…. Definitely a no-brainer.
Pacquaio definitely has the right to do what he wants. He has captured the attention of Americans. For a foreigner, that’s quite an accomplishment. Mayweather is all American and needed Oscar to boost his game. Pacquiao was a poor little Filipino who pretty much used his skills to get to the top. He didn’t have a father and uncle who were known to the American audience. He was never an Olympian. So let’s compare the two. One one hand, there’s a guy who has been exposed to boxing all his life. On the other is a guy who went into boxing to help feed his family. Now, they’re both fighting in the same league. Who exactly has accomplished more? In my opinion, it’s Manny. He’s not very tall but he’s climbed the ladder of success, thus making him a giant in the sport. He’s just a guy who can’t sing. Since he can’t sing, he leaves his opponents to sing the blues for him. For such a little guy to be the big man on campus, he definitely deserves to have things done his way.
Co-sign Curt..yet again Floyd agreed to it. So the question remains what was the problem? I wouldn’t let a couple of blood test keep me from making atleast 50mill win or lose so what was the big deal? Scared of needles yet he’s got tattoos GTFO..lol.
Pacqiao is worried about the nvsac rules when he himself tried to put a 10million per pound fine on somebody lol come on who is he to dictate fines
Noel…manny dictated the gloves…the ring size…for every pound he came in it would be 10mill not 1 but 10!!! Yet Floyd agreed to all of it! So you mean to tell me that SSM a admitted steroid user can agree to something that’s helpful to the sport and is not an advantage to him or his opponent yet Manny can’t agree to one thing after his list of commands? Let’s get real dude.
Oh and after the Baldomir fight Floyd called out both SSM and Oscar then and it wasn’t his first time…yet years later it’s finally happening. Floyd wasn’t such a draw then so it wasn’t gonna happen now Floyd is THE draw so of course SSM wants the fight.
pac will fight just as long as it is within the boxing commissioner rules. No one can’t dictate to his opponent what he want, he should go by the commission’s rules. It’s just like NO LAWS THEN CHAOS PREVAILS. comprende?
Pacqiao will fight somebody at 140 before he fights the winner of this match the guys at 140 are good but he can beat them..
Taj don’t forget corrales was didn’t have a loss before he fought Floyd pacman opponents have to have a loss before he even consider fighting them
I mean people talk about Cotto ( who beat mosely by using his jab) like he could’ve competed with Floyd yet Bob Arum wouldn’t let that fight happen because he told Miguel he wasn’t ready for Floyd yet he feed him too Manny just like he feed Joshua to him…the Pacman camp is hoping Floyd loses just so they can find a way to beat him but it’s not gonna happen they’re gonna find another opponent or face SSM when it’s all said and done and blame it on the drug testing.
No matter what all you Pac haters say, Mayweather’s achievements pale in comparison with Pacman’s achievements and awards. (1) Boxer of the Decade (if Mayweather would like to have this award, he has to fight until hw is 43!), (2) 3-time Boxer of the Year (only 3 boxers have so far achieved this and Mayweather is not one of them), (3) 7 belts in 7 different weights (the only boxer to have achieved this), (4) 4 lineal titles in 4 different weights (again Pacman is the only boxer who has achieved this). By golly, no wonder Mayweather and his supporters are green with envy! Mayweather is already getting old and can never hope to equal, much more surpass, Pacman’s achievements. He can brag and shout that he is the greatest of all time but no one cares to listen except his diehard fans.
Jones stop barera fought pacman in 03 the last prime barera fight was against the prince in 01 let’s be real he had already been in wars with morales so he was done so was morales and he managed to beat pacman if pacman fights the best why didn’t he fight Raheem after Raheem beat morales why not fight the winner
Like I said we’re scratching Marquez….and those were questionable wins too might I add.
What about Castillo and Corales?
@taj
Pacquiao fought cotto instead and he (cotto) had already beaten mosley so stop hating.
If this fight ends in one man dominating the other by a vicious ko or a one sided beating for 12 rounds you can forget about pacqiao fighting the winner pacman was in a loaded lightweight division and only fought David diaz then he was in a loaded light welterweight division and only fought hatton he picks the weakest belt holders on his rise up and yall praise him for that strategy..
Pac’s resume so far is better than Mayweather’s, Beating Manny would be the only way I could call it even (depending on how he does it). And I would still call it EVEN. You can’t compare Baldomir, Gatti, and Judah (who were suppose to be big fights) to the likes of Morales, Barrara, and a younger, in shape Marquez (not the version with the spare tire around his waist). Floyd is most definitely a great, smart fighter…He just needs to take more chances.
Co-sign Curt…Like I said Manny had a chance to face Mosely a year ago and didn’t want too…because he didn’t want to fight a natural welter at natural weight.
@ Curt20 and Taj
Pacquiao didnt make de la hoya come in at welterweight. de la hoya calls the shots and he agreed to it.
was pacquiao really gonna go from 135 to 154?
Not to mention De La Hoya was fine at 150 when he beat Steve Forbes with ease in his previous fight. So at the time, the fight being held at 147 was not unreasonable.
If you look at all of their records and both of their losses look who they have those losses too and who they had the most problems with and I bet you’ll see something very common.
The loser of this fight will be the winner because Thats the man pacqiao will go after pacqiao and roach gotta see weakness before they fight you.
Jones…mark my words fighter like mosely and pacman need room to operate if you stand in front of them then it’s easy pickens. Floyd will and I say this again will use counter punching by side stepping and INSIDE DIRTY BOXING to beat them both because they both suck at it.
If there were any doubt that Manny Pacquiao is the biggest star of his sport, it was put to rest by members of the Boxing Writers Association of America. By an overwhelming margin, Pacquiao took home not only the BWAA’s newly named “Sugar Ray Robinson Fighter of the Year” award, but went one better by also winning “Fighter of the Decade” honors. For Pacquiao, it was his third BWAA “Fighter of the Year” award, tying him with Muhammad Ali and Evander Holyfield for the most in the history of the organization.
I offered to go down to 142….the real kfc pacman still wouldn’t fight me….
The fans made this fight with Mosley happen. Floyd didn’t get his chance to cherry-pick this time and he’s not as confident as you’d think. Floyd’s picked up on the old, over-weight, past-prime, and other over-hyped fighters while avoiding the real competition. Floyd will have his track shoes on and hopefully the fans will boo him during his running exhibitions. Sugar Shane shouldn’t go chasing him but should better off stand in the middle of the ring waiting on Floyd. SSM would get the crowd swing if he did that. Best of luck to SSM.
Pacqiao won’t fight the winner of this fight especially if somebody looks good I bet anything he fights a fighter his team knows they can beat.
Curt… I see you understand where I’m getting at with this I can tell your a true fan also of boxing not just a particular figther.
Jones….Manny drains Oscar of 30lbs of natural weight did you really execpt Oscar to win a Jr welter fight when he’s a natural middleweight at best?
Pacqiao made a old Oscar come in at a weight He could no longer make then once roach seen what that weight drain did to Oscar Thats all they wanna fight pacqiao asked shane to come in at 141 shane agreed and pacqiao still walked away and fought the shot cotto
Jones…first credible fight? Let’s see let’s scratch De La hoya Hatton and Marquez….off of both floyd and manny’s record…now let’s talk credible fights now..for especially floyd as a lightweight..who’s manny got?
Pacqiao gets a lot of credit for beating shot or past prime fighters that’s not fair at All
taj: Floyd drags a 36 year old Marquez up 2 weight divisions when the best guys at welter at the time were: Cotto, Mosley, Paul Williams, Clottey, Cintron and Berto.
Jones … Nashim said it perfect when you have a name like Mayweather does there’s always the next guy.If you beat one there’s no rest everyone’s gonna be like who’s next? Floyd would be fighting the next 10 years probably if you go from one fighter to the next..like I said Pacman didn’t clean out the jr welter nor lightweight divison himself I can name a gang I would love to see him face.Wouldn’t you like to see Pacman fight Paul at welter? Probably not because you know what’ll happen.
Why doesn’t pacqiao have to fight Williams??
you mayweather fans love mayweather’s arrogance but can’t handle when pac acts arrogant for one minute.
The Mosley fight is the first credible fight of little Floyd’s career in 8 years and that is against a 38 year old lol.
Every time I watch pacqiao vs clottey it looks like josh took a dive..
@ Q
Hatton weight drained? He was ranked #1 at 140 since he beat Kostya Tszyu in 2005.
The only true welter Pacmans faced was Clottey who isn’t known for punching and is a straight forward not lateral fighter. Plus he fought him coming off a lost to Cotto..WOW!! He could have fought Valero or Alexander or Bradley or Mosely or Maidena even Berto yet he choose someone coming off a lost an he held the jr welterweight title I just named a few he could have faced. Proofs in the pudding people are just blinded by the smoke screen Pacman would lose to either of the names I just mention and certain defeat with Mayweather or Mosely but why not lose to Mayweather and make way more money.
Floyd needs to beat Mosley, take on Cotto or Magarito or Berto, and then finish his career with Williams. Basically, he would be matching Pacquiao for going up in weight and dominating the opposition.
Clottey
Jones name a elite welter that Pacman hasn’t had a catchweight bout at…plus don’t forget he fought Oscar at jr middleweight.
For a boxing site this place has some real f-kedup info. As I remember floyd was calling out shane like ummmm let’s see TEN YEARS AGO!!! Shane just wants a pay day but who can blame him he doesn’t have too many years left. Second of all why wouldn’t Pacman fight someone at a natural weight am I the only one who notices that besides this past fight floyd is usually the smaller man in the majority of his fights unlike Pacman? As far as accomplishments name all the elite fighters both have faced for one weight class to the next an see who has the best names after it’s all said and done..I bet it won’t be Pacman…atleast Floyd’s finally gonna get the fight with Shane he asked for years ago…unlike Pacman who he and Freddy Roach turned down that fight several times also.
Kevin: Floyd dragged a 36 year old Marquez up 2 weight divisions, where as Manny fought him twice at his peak at Marquez’s own weight division. Floyd has been at welterweight for 5 years now, where are all the top welters on his resume?
hatton came drained against pac, and cotto was just coming off a brutal beatdown loss to margarito and got beat up by clottey..coincidence? i think not.
okay first off mayweather doesnt need to give in this one pac-man does pacquiao always picks fight weight, date, & glove size in all his fights all maywaeather wants this time is blood test… which leads to my second thought how can Pacquiao be the #1 P4P when all he fights at are catchweights against the same style fighter? you saw what marquez did to pac-man cotto, hatton, ODH, and clottey are all come forward fighters. second he dismantled oscar the way he did when he asked oscar to come down to a weight too low for his age… even the announcers the same people saying oscar would dominate with size quickly changed there mind once they saw how weight drained he looked. if you really wanna compare look at the difference between mayweathers dominance against marquez a still well qualified fighter.
Being declared as Fighter of a Decade by notable boxing experts is quite an accomplishment of which Floyd can never duplicate.
The only way Floyd can do is tarnished PACMAN’s legacy with his unfounded theories.
Hope Floyd realise that the fight is in the ring and not outside it.
