Ariza thinks Pacquiao would have destroyed Mayweather last Saturday

By Dave Lahr: Alex Ariza, Manny Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning coach, believes that Pacquiao would have destroyed Floyd Mayweather Jr. if it had been him in the ring with him instead of Antonio Margarito. Using a catch-weight of 150 pounds, Pacquiao defeated Margarito by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision at the Cowboys Stadium to capture the vacant World Boxing Council junior middleweight title. Pacquiao has received a lot of criticism for both fighting at a catch-weight for a title and because his opponent Margarito had only fought once at junior middleweight in the past six years.

Boxing fans wonder why Pacquiao didn’t face Sergio Martinez, arguably the best fighter in both the junior middleweight and middleweight divisions, months earlier when he had the WBC title in his possession. Margarito was a junior middleweight only recently.

In an article at Philstar.com, Ariza said “It was like chopping down a tree with a hammer instead of a big axe. If this is the Floyd fight, Manny kills him. You’re not talking about that kind of pressure, that kind of weight, that kind of power, that kind of resiliency that Margarito had. Margarito knocks Floyd out in this fight. Margarito knocks Floyd Jr, last night. Manny could have knocked out anybody.”

I think Ariza needs someone to take him up, because he seems to be dreaming. I can understand how Ariza would favor Pacquiao over Mayweather based on his loyalty to him, but there was nothing Pacquiao’s performance over the limited Margarito that would suggest that Pacquiao would beat a skilled fighter like Mayweather. Also, to say that Margarito would have knocked out Mayweather that just taints everything Ariza said about picking Pacquiao to beat Mayweather and “anybody,” like he says. If Pacquiao could beat anybody, why isn’t he being matched against Sergio Martinez and Paul Williams? And why hasn’t Pacquiao fought Juan Manuel Marquez after winning a controversial decision over him in 2008. I think Ariza needs to focus on giving Pacquiao milkshakes and working on his fitness rather than giving opinions. Ariza says “I hope that’s the last fight at 150. Manny and I talked about it today and we’re kind of done with this. I think it has lost it’s appeal for us to keep trying to push it. When is enough enough? Until we get hurt. At what point is enough.”

Well, how about fighting Sergio Martinez or Paul Williams, the best fighters at junior middleweight? That would be a nice welcome change. Fight the best fighters at the weight, not a welterweight that has been positioned to fight Pacquiao for a paper title. And the weight limit for junior middleweight is 154, and not 150. It’s interesting to see Ariza talking about 150, as if it’s the real limit for the junior middleweight division. They’ve created a whole new weight class with this catch-weight. Why doesn’t Pacquiao fight Martinez or Williams? He can even use his catch-weight handicap. My guess is he never will. Those guys are the real deal. They’re not welterweights that have been pumped up to fight for vacant titles like Margarito, and they’re not slow and limited. Looks like Pacquiao will never fight them. Why am I not surprised?

    Dave Lahr, what have you been smoking?

  • anonymous says:

    This writer is an idiot. So doesn’t Mayweather want to fight Pacquaio. What about Mayweather fighting Williams or Martinez. And you call yourself an writer? What an idiot?

  • Anonymous says:

    Pacqiao all the way. Theres a reason why Mayweather turned down the fight. Pacman would destroy him end of story.

  • angbobo nyo says:

    No doubt. But the fight will never happen. Mayweather will never fight Pacquiao. Manny will uinify the welterweight and light middleweight division by fighting Berto and Coto respectively. Then fight either Paul or Sergio for the Middleweight title capturing his 9th division title. Fighting a non title fight with Mosley is a waste of time. He is old, slow and ineffective. My opinion is that mosley needs a fight with Manny for a hefty prize money. Majority of these fighters purely rely on one source, boxing. Pacquiao-Mosley is a mismatch!

    UMMM uMMMM UMMMM PAc you have a major stuttering problem , take some of your millions and go to a speech pathologist

  • Bdog1010 says:

    Pacquaio a singer a congressman a movie star and boxing manager , a cartoon hero , a clothing designer GIVE ME A BREAK just Box and learn better english. Now he wants to retire , Manny why retire all you do is fight tomato cans that are washed up , you can fight till your 60. I heard bob arum is going to throw Roberto Duran in there as your next fight, thats why he was sitting front row with the white hat on

  • Bdog1010 says:

    Pacqauio is a phenominal fighter, but why does he have to fight everybody at a catch weights. All the guys that he has recently been fighting are washed up. Delahoya was washed up and weight drained to top it off with. Ricky Hatton I never thought was a good fighter at all. Cotto was washed up , Cotto took the sickest beating by Margarito I have seen in a long time then took another beating by Clottey. Clottey was a total tomato can that loses every fight. Margarito had to starve himself to make 150 and also has 6 losses behind him , now . Mayweather is lighing fast never lost will counter punch Pacqauio all night long. Mayweather will get in the head of Pacqauio before the fight to throw him off. Trust me freddie Roach can’t even figure Mayweather’s style out

  • Phoocquiao says:

    I pick Its-never-gonna-happen by unanimous decision.

  • Bdog1010 says:

    Alex you get paid to suck the pac man off , ofcourse your going to say that Pacquaio will destroy Mayweather. the thing is Margarito is no where near the talent of Mayweather the guy is a bum they threw in there. Yea Mayweather got hit in the Mosley fight, but who had there hand raised at the end. I pick Mayweather by split decision.

  • Ryan Dunn says:

    @tich

    And also remember, Corrales was a strong, rangey fighter at 5’10″±.

    Or by size do you mean strength? I don’t know if I’m buying either argument regarding Castillo.

    …ryan

  • Ryan Dunn says:

    @tich

    Castillo’s size? He’s two inches taller than Manny with a two inch reach, and fought Floyd at lightweight. What are you referring to?

    Do you think Manny has problems with fighters who are 5’8″?

    If the fight is competitive between Manny and Floyd, it’s fairly clear that size will not be the issue. Speed, power and timing will rule the day. Offense vs. defense.

  • Marius says:

    Pacquiao looks good against poors fighters missing techniques,and stand in front of him.It’s easy to appear a fantastic fighter,if you often fight fighters in front of you,you can do all you want to do,cause your opponents are like a punching ball that you can punche every minute.I didnt see something special in Pac-Margo fight,but one thing I am asking
    to know is how Pac can fight from round 1 to 12 without getting tired and such volume punches?How Pac can stand against all Margarito punches?
    Mayweather is right to ask for a blood testing.If really Pac is clean,it’s time to do it now,instead saying that Money May is scared.

  • Anonymous says:

    What else would you expect him to say. The only problem is that he’s not the one that would be in the ring with Mayweather. Every fighter that has faced Mayweahter has beaten him in their mind, but end-up losing once they get in the ring with him. If his next fight is with Pacquiao, you can look for Mayweather’s record to be 42 and O.

  • Sema says:

    Peggers 123- Please indicate to me the facts I have selctively picked. Secondly, facts are stubborn-Floyd won against Coralles by TKO. It was Castillos that he fought twice after a contentious win in the first fight. Once again, lets get the facts right.
    My saying that Floyd has fought bigger opponents was not meant to imply that he has fought bigger opponents than Manny. I(as a Boxing Fan) admit that Manny has probably fought bigger opponents more than Floyd. Again, I will readily admit that Floyd has evaded some fighters I would have liked him to fight. My interest here is as a Boxing Fan, not as someone out to tarnish what Floyd has otherwise achieved.In the same way, I would want Manny to fight at the proper weights without insisting on catch-weights without seeking to overlook what he has achieved nonetheless. I refuse to fall into the trap that most Worshippers of specific Boxers have fallen into: that a criticism of Floyd or Manny is necessarily to be taken as support for the other.
    My point all along was that it is mere speculation to say at this point who would win if Floyd and Manny got to the Ring.

  • JAKE LAMOTTA says:

    OLD MOSLEY WAS CLOSE TO KNOCKOUT MAYWEATHER IN THE SECOND ROUND.EVEN MARQUEZ LANDED A GOOD OVERHAND RIGHT ON MAYWEATHER, AND DLH WON MOST OF THE ROUND WITH MAYWEATHER DLH WAS THE RING GENERAL IN THAT FIGHT.
    NO DOUBT MANNY GONNA WHOOP FLOYDS ASS…

  • j.razor says:

    only 1 problem, Floyd isnt a punching bag like margarito..you can’t hit what you cant see. Floyd wins easy.

  • Sema says:

    Peggers 123. Facts are a stubborn thing and you should get them right: you are clearly confusing Coralles and Castillos. It is the latter who Floyd fought twice. Floyd won against Coralles (then unbeaten)by TKO.Once again, check the facts. The point I was trying to make is that even Floyd has fought bigger guys. This is not to say that Manny has not fought bigger guys. In fact, Manny has fought more bigger guys more often than Floyd-I will admit, being a boxing fan not a worshipper of a Boxer. This is the problem I lament about: criticism of either Floyd or Manny is taken by their worshippers as support for the other. Floyd’s strength is not necessarily Manny’s strength and vice versa.I have no problem with admitting that Floyd appears to have evaded a number of boxers I (as a Boxing fan) would have wanted him to face.In any case, my main point was that no one can predict for sure how this fight would end (if the two ever get to fight).

  • Mexicutioner says:

    For all Pac-HAters…

    Pacquio wins again. lol.

    Just having fun when all Pac-Haters will make a comment everytime Pacquiao wins. It make me laugh so bad. It HURTS!!!! bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • vdog says:

    I’m sure Pacquiao’s mommy & all the Pactards think the same thing too. Trouble is no one cares.

  • boxtop123 says:

    JUSTDFACTS
    young man i dont know what you are talking about but i will try to enlighten you a bit. fact 1 the guy’s you mention retiring hatton delahoya you could make a case for them retiring before the pac fight hell even FREDDIE ROACH you know pac’s trainer is on record saying delahoya was washed up but pac fans like you want to edit everything and take out what you want.

    i think it is an insult to fighters that move up in weight and actually fight in that weight for manny to fight in the jr middleweight division weighing 144 or 148 then you guy’s scream that floyd wants special treatment and that floyd is not bigger than boxing well i agree but neither is manny.

    now fact 2 this ariza guy he is supposed to be this great conditioning guru yet athletes are not flocking to him for his services, do you know how many professional athletes need personal trainers and they have more money than pac, god knows ariza has the time cause his star pupol manny only fights once a year…so get real

  • JustDFacts says:

    @boxtop123….he should have been TKO already at 10, but the referee and some people wants to Pac destroys Marg permanently.

    You’ll see, the handwraps, the suspension did not stop Margarito from fighting, till today! He will join the club of Hatton, Dela Hoya and now him. We’ll anyway, their president is Mayweather because he can brag that Pac did no knock him out and he retires without harm, he is still undefeated so he will insist that he should be their leader.

    Whos next? I mean,,,,,,who wants to retire next? anyway it’s good to retire with busted face and millions rather than retires without nothing. :-)

  • Frimpong says:

    Floyd Floyd all the way.

    Pacman very good but not for Floyd.

    That’s it.

  • peggers123 says:

    @sema
    you are hand-picking stats yourself. At the end of the day Pacquiao has fought bigger stronger men than Mayweather. You can only mention De La Hoya and Corralles. Corralles was a long long time ago and many people say he lost the fight. That is why he was obliged to give an immediate rematch after public pressure. Against De La Hoya he barely won the fight. Most people say it was a draw and they have a point.

    And mosley is an old man. 90% of boxing fans respect mayweather for his skills but say he is a ducker. Why do you think that is Sema? Are we all wrong? Ofcourse not. Mayweather fights people he knows he can beat. Pacquaio looks to test himself. Mayweather would never fight margerito (even if he would beat him) because he’s too much of a risk and thats not what boxing should be about.

    Mayweather talks himself up so he knows that a defeat on his name would ruin him. He just cant have that!

  • Anderson the Spider says:

    hi dave how’s your prediction margarito will beat and destroy pacman, dave is wrong again margarito in fact didnt even win a round one of the judges score 12 rounds for pacman, i told you, you have to quit writing find another job dave make your self useful

  • Sema says:

    Peggers 123- It is untrue to say that Mayweather has not fought any bigger or good fighters. Just off my Head, Diego Corralles was much bigger than Floyd when they fought and was unbeaten at the time. Floyd fought Oscar De la Hoya at Middleweight (154lbs) and not catchweight and using bigger gloves (i believe 12 lbs) and a Ring size of Oscar’s choosing.It is said that Oscar outweighed him by 17 lbs that night. Shane Mosley was also bigger than Floyd when they fought.Objectivity is important- you are entitled to your opinion and even feeling-but not your own facts. Secondly, you say that the only component in which Floyd would be better than Manny is in Defence. I disagree- I know for instance that Floyd throws fewer punches but has a higher hit rate. He landed 57% of the punches he threw against Marquez. Manny, by comparison, tends to throw a flurry and lands at a lesser rate. For instance he threw 1231 punches against Clottey and landed about 25% of them. Check these facts on compubox statistics. I reiterate that the fight between Floyd and Manny cannot be predicted by speculation- which is why I would want them to fight. However, there are facts which we should not try to invent.

  • sean says:

    @DFG,are you delusional? Have you just started watching Boxing? Floyd at his more natural weight threw punches in bunches the only difference with him and Manny is ,Floyd throws them with pinpoint accuracy.I never mentioned Marquez and if Juan was a bloated up 147,what do you think the 105 pound Manny is? You are being Manny’s lover boy and blind follower.I know just like you know,Pac doesn’t do everything better than Floyd except defense and it’s not in Manny’s blood to have any defense at all.

    The fact remains Floyd is better in every aspect of Boxing when compared to Manny.As for Manny fighting Martinez or PW,if you claim to be the best fight the best or keep your mouth shut!

  • Mexicutioner says:

    @dre00…

    TIMING. That’s true every time Pacquiao is on the spotlight Mayweather (TIMING) is always in trouble with the law. That’s TIMING. lol

  • Pic says:

    I really can’t understand how people like Lahr will have the face to write again anti-Pacman articles after predicting that Pacquiao will be beaten badly by Margarito.

  • jack says:

    The dave lahr makes a lot of excuses. Every article there’s always an alibi, now youre trying to say that pacquiao handpicks opponents! for your information floyd mayweather ducked cotto and margarito for a long time. So who’s the ducker now? Quit making those lame excuses! pacquiao will beat floyd hands down!

  • peggers123 says:

    @sema

    I have no preference over either boxer, I just feel that Pacqauio will win. Mayweather is slightly bigger and has a slightly better defense but apart from that Pacman is his equal in every sense. Infact he is better offensively since mayweather’s best asset is his defense. And let’s not forget that Maywether hasn’t really fought anyone has he. No fighters bigger than himself, no quick fighters, no particularly strong fighters. His hardest fights were mosley, a 38 year old who didn’t fight for 18 months before the fight) and De La Hoya (very questionable win- shouldve been a draw). Pacquaio has fought bigger and stronger fighters. The only mini-critisism I can find for Pacquaio is that he fights at catchweights (although I do think that’s blown out of all proportion because margerito walked into the ring at around 160 pounds)

  • dre00 says:

    Lost of people talks about “power” who hits harder etc etc but the most important thing between these guys is “TIMING” and when it comes to that!!! Floyd is KING!!!!!

  • Sema says:

    Once again, this Forum shows clearly the difference in attitude between Boxing Fans and Worshippers of particular boxers. The fact of the matter is that until Floyd and Manny meet in the Ring, we will all be left to speculate on who would win-based upon our preferences. I have tried to look at this and I find that it is the worshippers of the Boxers who think this fight would be won or lost in an open and shut manner. Many experienced and thoughtful observers of Boxing would tell you that this would be very difficult to predict. One expert looked at this from the following Dimension: Speed, Accuracy of Shots, Power, Quality of Opposition, Defence, Fighting Stance and Quality of Trainers. He then scored them over 10 for each fighter and it was close(actually Floyd Edged Manny by 1 point). I went through this Checklist and they were even because I gave Manny an edge on Speed. This just shows how difficult this would be, especially if you were to add some more components to this mix.Only an extremely partisan and puerile person would claim to declare a Winner at this stage. The issue for Boxing Fans is to try and get Manny and Floyd to sign up to fight. I reiterate that Floyd should concede to an equal purse split while Manny should agree to Unlimited Testing without a cut off. We would then end all these speculations.

  • tich says:

    @Ryann dunn- Castillo gave Floyd lots of problems coz of his size of which Pac does not have.

  • tich says:

    Pac looks fast against punch bags but against a boxer like Floyd he will gas out within 3 rounds coz he will be made to miss. Floyd is by far the best boxer of this generation.

  • DFG says:

    @Sean Please don’t bring up Marquez…he was so bloated and slow for that fight you can’t possibly make the argument he could have possibly given Floyd a similar look to a 147 lb Pacquiao when he (Marquez) is not an offensive fighter let alone one who can even hope to touch Floyd at WW. And you just repeated what I already said. If Manny used his speed to fight defensively you could equally say he might be as effective as Floyd with that style, but we all know Manny would never do that because he loves to entertain – so it’s a ridiculous argument. Floyd’s a defensive fighter first while Manny is offense first. What is interesting though, is that Floyd may have adopted that style more out of necessity than choice. Its silly to make the argument that Floyd could ever be as offensive as Manny given how rare it is to see him putting 2 or 3 punch combinations together, let alone the 6-7-8 punch combos Pac does.

  • prince says:

    Yeah sure he would have. Pacquiao has never faced any fighter who has the skills or the speed to really trouble him. The only one was DLH and he was weight drained. All the others were not speedy fighters. Mayweather is a different story. We will see next year!

  • kevin says:

    @DFG

    as a counterpuncher he really doesnt have to shoot from all angles he pivots off that foot and hits you with the counter or he’ll bback up and shoot straight in with a lead right hand but he does flash those occasional angled shots when necessary like he did against marquez and in his DESTRUCTION of arturo gatti (i know thats an old fight but im sure you get the point) if he was a pressure fighter like manny he’d do it all the time but its not necessary when you can make your opponent miss and simply pivot and land a hook and cross combo…

  • DFG says:

    @Sean you’re confusing “pretty” footwork with “effective” footwork. It comes down to the speed of his feet getting from point A to B in both directions and Manny has the clear edge. If you want to talk about balance you also have to give the edge to Manny because of his ability to throw from all those angles while maintaining his balance. Floyd’s balance is great too, but he has never shown the ability to put together combinations, let alone combinations from awkward angles.

  • DFG says:

    @Sean, so I take it you were a professional fighter because you know that little tidbit about the lead foot? I can see that you are becoming agitated so I will end on this point. Manny got hit a lot more than once to the body. Those shots were rib-breaking shots, and he took them throughout the fight without running out of gas. What you describe as “running like a woman” an objective boxing observer would describe as smartly getting his back off the ropes against a much bigger man. I think also that you give Manny too much credit for his grasp of English and not enough credit for his humility after a fight. I suspect Manny really meant “fortunate” rather than “lucky”… and you seem to forget that Manny was nice enough to lay off Margarito for the better part of two rounds because he didn’t want to leave Margs a corpse.

  • kevin says:

    @DFG

    better footwork than mayweather? i dont think so bro mannys feet get crosssed up alot…. idk about the footwork argument bro floyd is RARELY off balance we saw manny get off balance against margarito when he wasnt even throwing, with a lightning fast jab in his face he has to adjust his whole fighting style IE against marquez and morales…. next thing you know youll say manny is the more purer boxer with a ffaster jab lol

  • Ryan Dunn says:

    @sean

    Castillo gave Floyd a lot of problems, remember? Why is Manny a Corrales and not a Castillo in your mind?

    I see Floyd vs. Manny as very competitive. The best offense vs. the best defense.

    …ryan

  • sean says:

    @DFG,And another thing…who has Manny fought,that reaches the caliber of fighter Floyd is? Manny will be another Hernandez,another Chavez,another Corrales(RIP),another Augustus.

  • kevin says:

    @DFG

    manny doesnt send off 8 punch combinations in fights with BOXERS especially good counterpunchers its true manny will take one to give three or 4 but hes not stupid hes not gonna take 1 or 2 to not give any back he boxes cautiously against good counterpunchers and may happens to be the best one in the game…. hes a more superior version of marquez in EVERY aspect. its really easy to throw 8 punches wildly at a heavy bag like clottey and margarito but when he gets in there with a BOXER/COUNTERPUNCHER he fights a totally different fight… you think hell go in there and lead with those telegraphed jabs and straights like he did against margarito? floyd would pick him apart you guys talk about floyd like hes flat footed, slow and dumb in the ring…. pac needs a plan A B C D E F and G and seeing as how he couldnt adjust to marquez in two fights i dont think he can do it but thats just me and my opinion we’ll have to wait and see…

  • sean says:

    DFG,have you ever Boxed? If you are a right handed fighter like May,you would want to keep your left foot,outside the left handed fighters right foot.That’s to land straight rights,left hooks,and lefts the the body.What are you talking about? I can see Mayweather Koing Manny after breaking him down.Margo landed one body shot and Manny ran like a woman.He admitted to being lucky to get out the round and he said a punch to the face hurt him too.Stop trying to glorify the man it does a disservice to who he truly is and it’s unrealistic.

  • sean says:

    @DFG,stop trying to add magnificence to everything Manny does.Pac has better footwork? Manny will be getting hit more than he has ever gotten hit in his life! Floyd will average close to 70% punch connection.Manny won’t be able to get close to Floyd without getting hit and getting hit often.Floyd is to big and strong for Manny,just like he was for Mosley.

  • DFG says:

    @Sean Again, what you described Floyd doing with his lead foot only works with conventional fighters. Most of Floyd’s gameplan is surely to be altered by the unpredictability of Manny’s angle of attack, handspeed, footwork, and ability to take the punch (body shots too) of a bigger man. I didn’t even mention his endurance. I mentioned Manny’s chin because he has already proven this in his recent fights that he can seemingly walk through punches without being wobbled. What I described was not just some Matrix fantasy because he’s already displayed this ability, unlike Floyd who has never fought someone as offensively gifted as Pacman. And I didn’t say that Pac would necessarily KO Floyd. I said that Mayweather’s defensive posture throughout the entire fight does no bode well for his chances on the scorecards. He would pretty much have to be Neo in order to win the decision. Floyd knocking Pac out I just can not see happening.

  • DFG says:

    @Sean What you just described Floyd doing is highly unlikely considering Manny’s footwork, (which is better than Floyd’s at this stage) Your also not taking into consideration the fact that Manny hits just as hard with both hands now. The fact that he fights as a southpaw is almost a moot point. I also disagree that Manny has to get Floyd in the ideal position for him to land those combinations. You keep discounting Manny’s footwork and his fighting spirit. Manny will get hit when he comes in, like he usually does…my main point was that he doesn’t seem to be phased by it, and I have a feeling Floyd will quickly be phased by the first few power shots that land. Floyd may target Manny’s body, sure. But lets not forget that Manny was cracked HARD in the 6th round by Margs and didn’t slow down. You’re applying conventional wisdom to a highly unconventional fighter in Manny.

  • sean says:

    @DFG,lets be real…Floyd has the best left hook and right hand in the game.Mayweather will keep his lead foot outside Manny’s lead foot to stop him from pawing with that jab and then shoot a left hook over the top.To ask me do I believe it’s a Matrix and in the same breathe speak off Manny’s ability to walk throw May’s punches,overwhelm him and eventually take him out.All the while forgetting Mayweather isn’t some nobody that Manny will blow through.Sounds like a dream!Pac is in deep 5HIT!

  • sean says:

    @DFG,finally someone I can have a discussion with.First off the shoulder roll is rarely used by Floyd verses lefties it leaves his right side open to straight left hands,like the one Judah landed when May attempted it.

    Floyd leaves his hands out like Joe Louis and he touches his opponents right glove to take it out of the picture,if Manny tries to punch Floyd will lean in with a straight right and tie him up briefly then proceed to jab his midsection.Do not assume Manny’s punch output will be the same when he’s getting systematically broken down.

    To think Floyd will not target Manny’s body would be foolish,remember who you are dealing with.Manny has to find ways to get Floyd in the position he needs to let loose punches in bunches.

    By the way Baldimor and Oscar out weighed Floyd by more unofficially.Do you believe Manny can throw punches with the same output when he is getting hit? To say Floyd needs to be battered and bruised in a fight to be considered in a war is silly.Just look at the loser’s faces after their beatings.Mayweather has more than enough power to keep Manny honest!!

  • DFG says:

    @Sean Ring generalship?? Bullying Pacman? Now I know you’re just messin around. Ring generalship will go out the window fairly early in the fight because Manny will not fear Floyd’s punches. Manny is more than happy to eat a punch if it means he will dish out 3 or 4 of his own. All the while Floyd will appear to be on the defensive the entire night which does not bode well for his chances should he avoid getting knocked out. Floyd can only hope to KO Pacman clean or cause him to run out of gas, which are both incredibly unlikely to happen.

  • An Honest Pacman Fan says:

    @Sean

    Tell me Mayweather punches harder than Margo..

    How in the hell is Mayweather going to make Pac hesitate with his punches…

    We all know he won’t be using the size advantage.. because he will have to get close to Pac to do that… he needs to control the fight from the distance…

    If Pac gets to him and corners him.. he’ll just shell up…

  • sean says:

    The difference between the fighters you mentioned and Manny is their height and weight,Floyd was moving up in weight in both fights without a catchweight stipulation.Manny is small and isn’t physical in the sense of inside fighting.Floyd will bully him and make him step back.Hatton started at 140,Floyd started at 130.Stop your crying!

  • Mexicali says:

    Besides, Manny has the best team behind him. Roach, Ariza, and an army of elite sparring partners.

    Mayweather is doomed.

  • Mexicali says:

    The way he insults Pacman? Mayweather’s both orbitals could’ve been smashed, that shoulder could’ve been bashed and he could’ve gotten straight to the emergency room. That is why he is so silent he knows he will be in trouble… as always.

  • An Honest Pacman Fan says:

    @Sean

    “The dude can’t take a body shot for nothing!”

    Are you kidding me? He just took Margo’s buddy punch and kept going….

    Do you know why he should have lost against Castillo?

    Do you know why he got a split decision over Dela Hoya?

    Do you know why Hatton was getting some successes with him at the start?

    Mayweather shells up when pressured… and guess what Pac brings to the table… PRESSURE… NON-STOP PRESSURE…

    And if he shells up most of the fight… guess what.. he’s going to lose just like Clottey!

    @Kevin Dude I think you it’s more obvious that you don’t watch boxing because Hatton was out on his feet after his head hit the turn buckle. Floyd did catch him with a nice left hook as Ricky lunged in, but you also gotta remember that Floyd made a smaller Ricky get fat and slow before they fought. Not to mention that Ricky was also a wide open brawler, and it STILL took Floyd 10 ROUNDS to hurt this smaller, slower, wide open Hatton, and with the help of the turn buckle was able to to make it look worse than it was. Floyd wouldve won anyway, but lets be real here. Floyd’s conditioning only allows him to throw limited output. Manny will force a brawl which Floyd cannot win. There will be no holding because of the magnitude of the fight and the chorus of boos that cascade everytime Floyd attempts a hold. Excessive holding if they meet will only cost Floyd points. Either from the ref deducting points or as reflected on the judges scorecards. I just don’t see Floyd holding up well with those 8 punch combinations, his stamina, his chin, or his punching power. His footwork is not what it used to be nor is his punching power.

    All i hear is Pacquiao is not the best unless he fights Sergio Martinez or Paul Williams. Pacquiao should easily beat them at welterweight. LOL

  • Red says:

    To all Floyd Mayweather Jr. fans: Hate Manny Pacquiao all you want but Floyd will never come close to making money like Pacquiao has in the last three years. Guess what? Pacquiao is still building his wealth while Floyd is losing his money with criminal charges in Court that will tie him up for the next couple of years. Manny Pacquiao will be in the top 10 richest athletes this decade and will continue to build his wealth. Manny Pacquiao does need Floyd Mayweather Jr. to solidify his career. Manny Pacquiao does not need to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. to make money. Pacquiao makes 5x in endorsements outside from his fights. Hate all you want but Manny Pacquiao will be on top lookin down on Mayweather Jr from here on out.

    @sean

    Blind.. blind.. blind…

    As one person said here…

    Mosley sent Margarito to have a beer after the fight…

    Pac sent him to the hospital…

    Read more articles mate and you’ll realize that that fight should have been stopped somewhere around the 10th!

    And by the way.. Cotto beat Mosley.. Pac beat Cotto… Mayweather said Cotto lives in Puerto Rico so they can’t make the fight… LOL!

  • sean says:

    Are you referring to the 40 year old Manny clearly ducked and now wants to fight because Floyd whipped him with ease? That 40 year old did what Pac couldn’t do….KO ANTONIO! Manny’s handler’s have done him a disservice by putting him in there with Flatfooted zombies with no skill,head movement,footwork,skills,smarts or the ability to adjust and set traps for his opponent.What will Manny do when he is faced with someone that doesn’t lean forward and stand still? GET HIS A55 KICKED!That’s what he’ll do….

  • ILL says:

    @Kevin

    True, Floyd has a monster training regimen. But in the end its about what one is use to…one’s comfort zone. Floyd might even be in better “shape” than Manny but if Floyd is forced into an intense pace he is not use to in a live fight (not sparring) then he can easily get gas’ed. For sure, Manny has proven his stamina is intact for a high output fight. But truthfully speaking, I doubt we will ever see the fight. Next year we will likely watch the likes of Holyfield vs Tyson (can you believe they are probably going to fight) before the dream fight we fight fans deserve.

    and people seem to forget the turnbuckle didnt knock ricky hatton out he got back up after that it was the punches while he was on the ropes that knocked him out buddy im convinced you dont watch boxing so i refuse to have a war of wits with a man who is unarmed lol good day sir

    @Kevin SugarRayDuran is not counting the TKO of bums like Sharmba Mitchell and Henry Bruseles. The last legit TKO Floyd had was that fluke KO of Hatton in which the turnbuckle did most of the damage. LOL

  • kevin says:

    @ill

    with tthe way floyd trains i dont see him getting tired… but the way pac looked when margarito hit him with them body shots makes me think somebody found pacs soft spot lol either way its a great fight i just see a doctor stoppage due to manny unfortunate swelling face

  • 3 stars and a glove says:

    why do people say that IF Mayweather vs Pacquiao happens. FMJ wins by UD. and pachaters say Manny won’t hit FMJ?! Oh come on! if Manny throws around 200-400 power punches, U are saying that he won’t even give a one Clean Hit on FMJ ?! He still has a one punch KO power. LOL

    I, as a Manny fan says that IF EVER this fight goes through, it is very hard to say who wins. Depends on how and WHO has the the passion for the sport wins. Pacquiao is a relentless fighter and gets the strategy off his mind at times. And as for FMJ, we all know he is in doubt. We all know he is a little scared of losing his “ZERO” loss record. And that is all what his pride is all about. but for me Manny has more passion for the sport than FMJ.

    BUT in the end. this fight is only 20%-40% sure of happening. We all know who’s ducking who. Roach already announced the challenge to FMJ. and the answer is only SILENCE. Still hoping that silence means YES? in FMJ’s words? NEVER!!!

  • kevin says:

  • rose bud says:

    @ kevin i read it on yahhoo sports, how can Manny destroy him, Floydis the one who destroy himself!

  • Whitey says:

    @Ill Excellent point. Guys like David Lahr fail to realize that Pacman is the best thing to happen to the sport of boxing in a LONG time. Manny is singlehandedly bringing boxing back to life. He represents the best this sport can offer while Floyd represents the absolute worst. Pacman is a global icon who is always ready to fight, gives us action packed FIGHTS every time, draws the casual fans and celebrities back to the sport, is a great role model for kids, dedicated family man, public servant, philanthropist etc….

    Floyd, well, he beats up women and children, likes to mock ordinary working class people by flaunting his wealth in their face during a recession, and oh yeah – he is a great pure boxer who can’t inflict damage on his opponents so he smartly outpoints them in exhibitions that are best described as a cure for insomnia. He also defrauded the public by misleading them to think that they were going to see the fight of the century. These two don’t even have to fight to determine who the better man is.

    @rosebud

    if your saying that floyd didnt whoop them because he didnt knock them out your an idiot because pac didnt knock out clottey or margarito…. or marquez himself for that matter floyd dominated marquez it wasnt even a close fight marquez only landed 13 percent of his punches while floyd landed something like 58 percent if thats not a whoopin idk what is…. as as far as mosley goes if you saw the fight you know what happened…. mosley got whooped plain and simple…

    KEVIN, YOUR REALLY TRYING TO COMPARE FLOYD/JMM AT WELTERWEIGHT CATCH TO PACQUIAO/JMM AT 125/130LBS???

    NOW IT SEEMS PAC IS THE ONE GOING TO FIGHT JMM AT THAT WEIGHT AND EVERYBODY’S PI**ED OFF?

    THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS FLOYD WON AN UNEVENTFUL BORE OF A FIGHT IN 12 ROUNDS WHERE AS PACMAN WILL END MARQUEZ’ CAREER!

    GET THE PICTURE!

  • ILL says:

    @Kevin

    I certainly see your point. Also, your are spot on about Floyd’s chin. I think, however, Floyd will get gas’ed if the ref doesn’t allow excessive holding. Floyd typically throws between 30-40 punches a round (sometimes less). If Manny can force Floyd into a high output fight (punch output and movement output) then I believe a TKO comes via fatigue.

  • kevin says:

    @DRE00

    my point exactly lol

  • kevin says:

    @rosebud

    idk where you get your news but you gotta go to more places than this site the security guard himself said floyd THREATENED HIM and poked him on the face…. not beat him up i dont in anyway condone his actions but to say manny would destroy him is just ignorant

  • dre00 says:

    @sugarrayduran obviously u know a lot!! because when evaluating who will win a fight, how many KO in the past 6 years will matter right? that`s some good data/information to decide who will beat who!!! ur a genius!!!

    Any comment on the two different fighting styles maybe???

  • kevin says:

    @sugar ray duran

    manny isnt a very good fight when he fights boxers marquez almost did twice and hes a slower, weaker, smaller, less defensively skilled, less of a counterpunching, wlling to trade type of fighter than floyd….. think about it stsyles make fights man

  • rose bud says:

    @ HEY KEVIN! did you heard about a news Floyd whooooop a security guard in Vegas..additional to his previuos violation case…theres no hope for your IDOL LO”L!

  • kevin says:

    @sugar ray duran

    either you dont watch boxing or your really bad at math because he has 3 in the last FIVE years

  • kevin says:

    @ILL

    finally somebody with a seemingly unbiased opinion though i disagree because of the fact tho we rarely get to see it floyd mayweather has an AMAZING chin so i dont think there will be a tko. but ive noticed over the years that when manny fights skilled boxer/counterpunchers he doesnt throw nearly as many punches. plus he doesnt look as fast i think its a comparison speed that manny has but i do think itll be a good fight but due to the fact that manny swells easy i wouldnt be surprised to see a 8th round TKO for floyd i mean margarito only hit him in the face 20 times…

  • Whitey says:

    @lobo That’s absolutely right! Those idiots that were stupid enough to buy into the hype that Floyd was “unretiring” to take back his spot as P4P #1 by fighting Pacquiao were totally jipped by Mayweather. It was a fraud from the start! Floyd was smart (though incredibly dishonest) to have gotten them all excited about an inevitable dream match w/ Pacman that he was never going to allow happen! All these Floyd supporters did was to give ‘Money’ a few more years of extravagant living by forking over their hard earned $$ to watch a few boxing exhibitions by Floyd. These fools thought they were paying to see fights, but they got patty cake exhibitions instead! Floyd is smarter than I originally gave him credit for. If Floyd fans were smart they would figure they could watch guys like Chad Dawson and Rigondeaux for FREE!!

  • rose bud says:

    Marquez vs Floyd is a mismatch sure win for Floyd, BUT Mosley vs Floyd is a fix fight, “genius”

  • ILL says:

    Why is this blogger such a Manny hater? Any one who is invested in the sport of boxing such as this blogger has to give Manny his props. Manny comes to all his fights in shape. Manny is aggressive, throws lots of punches, and has power. He has fought all the big name fighters, champions: Barrera, Marquez, Morales, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito. And he fights 2-3 times a year–a rarity with big name fighters.

    Floyd and Manny both have incredible resumes and when/if they fight they will face the best opponent of their careers. My prediction: Floyd win by holding throughout the fight so to pace himself for a decision and also to neutralize Manny’s combinations. If the ref doesn’t allow all the holding or if Manny’s angles don’t allow Floyd to hold as frequently as he’d like then Manny wins by TKO.

  • Whitey says:

    The Floyd Fans should not call themselves “Fight Fans” because they are anything but. With both Floyd and Manny, yyou know what you are going to get. Pac either makes his opponents look like Quazimoto, knocks them into a coma, or virtually retires them – sometimes he does all three in the same fight. Mayweather, on the other hand, is even more predicatble than that. He will pitty-pat his way to a decision EVERY time, failing to even cause a slight bloody nose. All you Floyd nuthuggers might as well jump on the Guillermo Rigondeaux bandwagon (LOL!!!) or just watch amateur fights. Oh wait, I forgot that there’s a good reason amateur fights aren’t televised. LOL…Floyd fans pay $60 to watch a boxing exhibition!!! Real FIGHT Fans pay $60 to watch Pacman because he actually FIGHTS.

  • Whitey says:

    Gotta give Floyd credit though…he really outsmarted a lot of people here. By the time Floyd’s done in court and available to fight, Pacman will have already fought his last fight and moved onto politics. It’s really quite brilliant, because he’s hoping it will appear as if the plea deal and community service somehow equates to proof positive that he never beat his family while at the same time creating the illusion that his balls have finally dropped and he’s ready and willing to fight someone he NEVER had any intention of fighting in the first place. This is very clever, you have to admit.

  • kevin says:

    @rosebud

    retard neither marquez nor mosley have ever been knocked out including when pac knocked marquez down 3times in the first round and couldnt finish him…. your dumb dude…. and mayweather definitely DID whoop them both there connect percentages were lower than anything the likes of pac could ever imagine…

  • Whitey says:

    And in all likelyhood, Margs probably fell down and collapsed out of exhaustion against Mosley rather than being knocked out. Margs face looked like it had barely been touched after the Mosely fight, and the fact is thst Margs had to lose 40 lbs in 4 weeks for that fight, which is why Capetillo felt he had to do something to Margs wraps to try and even the field.

    Believe me, Mayweather will make another noise soon. He will fight Bradley and or Berto making them as an excuse of shaking of his 2 years of hiding/retirement. He will brag that Pac would not even fight these guys because Pac is afraid of them.

    And for Paul Williams? he is in the wrong business, he should have used his height and play basketball. . That goes for Mayweather also, he should be an actor (a bad one) for making a fake cry when he first announce his retirement beacause got scared of Cotto, Clottey, Margarito….now Pacquiao.

    True Story: I followed Floyd on Twitter and before the Mosley fight I suggested to him there was a good chance he’d get knocked out (which we all remember nearly happened). His response was to delete me as a follower. You are wasting your time answering him. Dana White of the UFC was going crazy on Twitter after Pac’s fight tweeting on how he was blown away by Manny’s performance and how he was the greatest boxer ever. He repeatedly tweeted at Floyd to agree to fight Manny, and so did other high profile celebs such as Justin Bieber and I think Paris Hilton and Hugh Hefner too. Floyd’s reponse? Well, let’s just say he hasn’t tweeted in about a week and a half. Hahahahah if Hollywood celebs can’t get a response from Floydie what makes you think you can?

    I think Margarito would beat Mayweather….as limited as his ‘skills’ are i dont think floyd would last in a ring with him, it was the sheer volume of punches that held him back from Pac the other night well as the unbelievable footwork which floyd doesnt have, (not to say that his footwork isnt brilliant though, he just doesnt have it as good a pac)…i think Margo would walk floyd down and knock floyd out in the late rounds!!

  • Whitey says:

    And Ryann Dunn is absolutely right in seeing the bigger picture here with the risk versus reward. With Pac eyeing much bigger and better things after his career in boxing is over, why would this fool Lahr demand that Manny risk serious brain injury by fighting guys who could fight at light heavyweight? He’s already proved his greatness unlike Floyd and that fact has already been well established in countless articles written by well respected writers. Why else would there be multiple mainstream articles talking about how Manny has already beaten Floyd inside AND outside the ring, and how Mayweather’s smartest move was ducking Manny?

  • sanosuke sagara says:

All these things can and would be used to discredit a Pac victory over Williams. You’re a joke.

  • Whitey says:

    The fact that biased fools like David Lahr are throwing names like Williams and Martinez out there only serves to grow Pacquiao’s legendary status even further. You’re essentially asking a super lightweight who started out at featherweight to fight elite Light HEAVYWEIGHTS. HAHA you’re ridiculous man. At 6’2″ what the hell is Williams doing trying to fight at 147???

    Paul Williams at welterweight is very possible.

    Martinez is probably too big of frame to get to welter.

    I agree Manny should get back to welterweight, clean up the division and retire. Hopefully test wills with Floyd before heading out. That’s a 50/50 fight, and hopefully it happens.

    Lahr, your fantasy to see him up at Light Middleweight is uninformed IMO. He’s not the right size for those guys. Even against Margarito the opponents size advantage was dangerous. Has nothing to do with skill at that point, just physics. It’s not that he can’t win, but he can be seriously harmed in the process.

    Ariza is right however, the beating was so bad that the woman hitter must be in the hiding and currently very quiet…P*&&^

    Never argue with David Liahr. Idiots like Chris Williams and him will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

  • john says:

    why did pacquiao turn down the 150 IBS weight limit when Mosley offered it?

  • john says:

    good article, mayweather beats pacquaio

  • Denny says:

    Dave Lahr, how stupid are you????? If you’re going to write something, write something worth reading… or did you intentionally want to show your lack of boxing intelligence? Martinez and Williams??? Both of those guys walk around weighing 175-180. It’s not Pacman’s job to pick his fights. He has said this over and over. If Arum puts either Martinez and Williams in front of them, at 154, Manny will do what he does best…win and beat his opponent. The only reason, those guys want to fight Manny is because, Manny is like the lotto, they know they’ll get the biggest paycheck in their lives but they know they can’t win at that weight. Paul Williams is 6’2! You expect him to go down to 154 and win?????!!!! Manny will break his fricking ribs. Williams wont have any power at 154!!!! You’re f-ing stupid!!!!!!

  • Melvin says:

    What is wrong with this people? Let Manny go to his natural weight and those people who wants to fight him will go to Manny’s weight to prove that they are better than Manny. Manny is the man now! Let them come to Manny’s weight and prove it that they can destroyed him (Manny).

    @LoveMeOrHateMe

    margariot came in at 165 lbs, 17lbs heavier than manny. Why are you complaining about it? He had all the physical advantages than manny. He is 5’11″ versus manny who is only 5’6″. He has 5-inch reach advantage. But the little guy just demoloshed him ansd all the otehr bigger guys. It is not just defeating them but beating them up. Wea re lucky to have witnessed one of the all time greats in boxing since he may not he there for a long time with his new job as a congressman. We just have to enjoy watching him while we can.
    Maybe Mayweather will grow some balls to fight pacquiao. But I really doubt it after he sees what happened to Margarito whom he avoided and all the other boxers that fought Pacquiao. Pacquiao said he is waiting for him to sign the contract and is willing to fight him anytime anywhere. Just remember, Pacquiao came from Mindanao. If you are not familiar with it check it out and you will realize the kind of people who came from this place in the Philippines.

  • BLUE DOG says:

    C´MON U CANT COMPARE MARGOS INEXISTENT DEF TO FLOYDS DEF

    PAC BEAT MARGO BUT MARGO IS NO LONGER AN ELITE FIGHTER, BIG HEART YES.

    TOTALLY DIFFERENT FIGHTERS MARGO & FLOYD

  • King for a Day says:

    i thnk he should be thinking of shutting the critics and fight a 3rd one with Marquez and then Berto Fok FLoyd he’s done falling apart mentally and Pac didn’t even have to get in the ring with him

  • robin the poor says:

    Do not question Pacman about why he doesn’t want to fight Williams or martinez… Pacman never pick an opponent from what he says ” Im not scared to any body, I’ll fight to anyone and it’s my promoter job, and my job is to train and fight in the ring”… Period….

  • King for a Day says:

    it’s obvious that Floyd’s not going to fight Manny we should be sizing him out for what is out there Floyd is done

  • Phoocquiao says:

    People throw out Paul Williams and Martinez like anyone at welterweight is in a hurry trying to fight these guys.

    People just want to see Pac get seriously hurt. If Pac beats either of those guys, the haters will just discredit Pac by saying that he needs to fight Andre Ward or something like that.

    Ridiculous.

  • King for a Day says:

    oh no Floyd was trying to pick a fight with his security guard he fading another Tyson

  • King for a Day says:

    yeah actually Manny beat a Super Middle weight at 167 lb fight night

  • Dr. Strangelove says:

    Manny is a welterweight at best. He weighed in a 144.6 lbs for the junior middleweight bout. This fight was a gimmick so that Pacquiao could get his 8th title.

    However, it was a serious fight and many, including the laughable Dave Lahr, predicted that Margarito would destroy Pacquiao with his size and power.

    If anyone wants to fight Pacqiuao from now on it’s going to be at welterweight. Williams huge size and reach advantage over Manny is not a fair matchup. Floyd is the best opponent for Manny, but he is afraid and in too much legal trouble to fight anytime soon.

  • Jon says:

    @LoveMeOrHateMe, I thought the weight limit means you can come in lighter but not heavier for that set amount. So Manny coming in lighter than the limit is ok. For most fighters though, coming in heavier or at maxed limit works to their advantage specially to bigger men. Manny made some sacrifices in his weight. He chose to be lighter cause he believes his speed is more impt. Please realize that Manny is a small guy and by coming in lighter, he sacrified his ability to absorb Margarito’s punching power. The only reason why he kept on climbing weight is not to impress anyone. There’s just no worthy opponent on his true weight class.

    This being said. When Floydd fought JMM, he went over limit which is unacceptable that’s why he was fined. He doesn’t mind paying a few hundred thousands cause in reality, that’s just a small portion of what he will earn for a sure win. When Pac fought Marga, he didn’t go over the limit. He intentionally went there lighter which i think is allowed in the rules of boxing.

  • Don Juan says:

    Pacquiao is a fantastic fighter. He can move, he can box, he can maul you from all angles. He would have been able to dance all night long from Margarito and not get touched but he showed a true fighter in him with such balls and guts to go toe to toe at times to a bigger heavier punching opponent and took the punches well too.

    If that was Mayweather that night as his opponent it would have been an almost similar story. They would have been both quick, dancing and most of the times Mayweather avoiding all possibilities of Toe to Toe punchouts. It would have turned out to be a 12 rounder but having Mayweather dropped a few times, Pacquiao with UD win.

    Yes! I am the greatest Boxing analyst! and not you.. Dave Lahr

  • LoveMeOrHateMe says:

    @ b.sy styles make fight man, and Martinez would kill Margarito now lol. Quintana beat Williams for the first time but in the rematch what happened? Wiliams knocked him out easily but Margarito would never challenge Martinez again

  • DaxxMD says:

    LAS VEGAS — A security guard has accused boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. of poking him in the face several times and threatening him over parking violations outside Mayweather’s home, police said Tuesday.

    Mayweather refused to speak with police officers called to his house to investigate the Monday evening confrontation, but a misdemeanor battery report was taken and was being submitted to the Clark County district attorney for possible prosecution, Las Vegas police Officer Marcus Martin said.

    The guard told police that Mayweather has been in an ongoing dispute with homeowner association security officers over parking outside his home.

    The guard, whose name was not made public, told police he was writing a new round of citations for several vehicles parked improperly on the street outside Mayweather’s home when the boxer threatened and attacked him.

    “Mr. Mayweather became agitated and came out of his house,” Martin said. “When the guard rolled down the window, he poked the security guard in the face with his finger several times, according to the security officer.”

    Martin said Mayweather declined to come out of his house when officers knocked, telling them through the door that he wouldn’t talk with them and wishing them a good night.

    Mayweather’s attorney did not immediately return a call requesting comment.

    Mayweather, 33, has lived in the five-bedroom, two-story home on Wood Creek Court for roughly two years, according to public records.

    He is expected in Las Vegas Justice Court in January on unrelated felony coercion, grand larceny and robbery charges stemming from a Sept. 9 dispute with the mother of his children. Prosecutors said he also threatened his sons.

  • b.sy says:

    How quick people forget that Maragrito came into the ring @ 167 lbs!!

  • LoveMeOrHateMe says:

    @ Jay hahaha Manny beat Clottey and Cotto but you failed to understand that Margarito easily desposed of both of those guys but Margarito got his butt kicked by Mosley but I sure didn’t see Manny fight him while he was the top welter-weight and number pound for pound at the time, and plus he didn’t even fight Berto either so whats your point! And height means nothing bro, Mike Tyson was fighting 6’5 guys and he was only 5”11 or correct me, but he beat them because he was a better fighter, people don’t want Manny to fight Williams or Martinez but he will get beat badly, Floyd should fight them too but is Manny is so beasty and good why not fight those other beasts at 154 like he did with Margarito oh let me guess because he can’t make weight unless it’s a catch-weight hahaa

    Floyd Mayweather Facing Battery Allegations From Security Guard

    Mayweather just recently got hit with a restraining order thanks to an assault incident involving his ex-girlfriend and their children. New allegations of battery coming from a Las Vegas security guard have Mayweather’s temper again in question.

    According to police, the guard — whose name has not been released — told police he was writing several citations for cars parked illegally outside Mayweather’s house when the boxer emerged and attacked him.

    “Mr. Mayweather became agitated and came out of his house,” officer Marcus Martin said. “When the guard rolled down the window, he poked the security guard in the face with his finger several times, according to the security officer.”

    The guard claims that Mayweather the issue of parking outside his home has been the source of dispute between the boxer and the homeowner association security officers.

    According to police, Mayweather wouldn’t come out of his house when officers knocked on the door, simply wishing them a good night. A misdemeanor battery report was submitted to the Clark County district attorney for possible prosecution.

    Mayweather is due back in court in January over the original assault charges.

  • DaxxMD says:

    LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather, already facing criminal charges that could put him behind bars for 34 years, is in trouble again after a confrontation involving a security guard.
    Police said Tuesday that the guard claimed Mayweather poked him in the face several times and threatened him over parking violations outside Mayweather’s home, part of an ongoing dispute with Mayweather and a homeowners association.
    Mayweather refused to speak with police who were called to his home after Monday night’s incident, which ended with police making a misdemeanour battery report to the district attorney’s office for possible prosecution.
    Mayweather, 33, faces charges of felony robbery, coercion and grand larceny as well as misdemeanour domestic battery and harassment charges in connection with a September 9 dispute involving a former girlfriend who is the mother of his two sons. He faces an arraignment in that case on January 24.
    While Mayweather, 41-0 with 25 career knockouts, was once regarded as the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter, his inability to make a deal for a megafight with Filipino star Manny Pacquiao, the Asian star’s 13-fight win streak and legal woes have dimmed the US boxer’s star in recent years.

  • Jay says:

    This guys an idiot.. it was already stated that Margarito was too big for pacman at 5’11″ and you want him to face paul williams who stands at 6’2″ when pacman only stands at 5’6″? your questioning him for not fighting those guys is ridiculous.. you should start questioning your almighty floyd mayweather for not fighting williams or martinez first or even the top welterweights (Pacquiao, Cotto, Berto, Margarito, Clottey) in the division before you ridicule pac.

  • DaxxMD says:

    Historian: No doubt about Pacquiao’s greatness

  • LoveMeOrHateMe says:

    @ WTF are you serious bro, Floyd walks around naturally at 165 before having to cut weight! Sergio and Williams both walk at heavier weights but Williams said he would drop to 154 or even 147 to fight Floyd or Manny! and Sergio would only move down to 154 only so what are you saying bro, I know more about boxing than you would ever know bro. Manny fought for the 154 pound belt so why is that stupid of me, when both Williams and Martinez would drop down to fight him or Floyd! Manny can make that weight so stop making excuses bro, Dropping weight is much harder than gaining weight so Manny would the advantage to gain more weight and muscle lol your a silly kid

  • gaberealist says:

    This article is great and touches on all the bs Pac’s camp goes through to keep him “on top of the sport” PAC is the most carefully managed boxer in history. His fights are enveloped in over hyped over the hill limited boxers who are somewhat irrelevant to the growth of the sport. I love boxing but writers and promoters just try to sell garbage to the casual fan to keep it alive. But in reality they are killing the sport. I can’t pay 60$ to watch nonsense. This fight might have worked 4 years ago when Margs could move side to side.

    LoveMeOrHateMe…..you claim you know boxing, but you really don’t. You only display your ignorance when you call for men like Martinez and Williams whose natural weights are between 170-180lbs to fight a man whose natural weight is less than 150 lbs. HAHAHA! Do you realize how stupid and desperate you sound when you say that, dude?

  • oskarv says:

    You never stop wishing Pacman lose because you’re a hater. Just to satisfy your weird desire you want him against giants. Why did’nt you think of the Klitchkos or David Haye?

  • LoveMeOrHateMe says:

    @ LagunaBoi, Thanks for the explanation, usually people get upset when I try and explain something about the situation with Manny! @ EVERYONE ELSE!!!! I don’t blame him but I do blame Bob Arum because he won’t allow Manny to fight at those weight classes, Manny was suppose to fight Yuri Foreman for the 154 pound belt but later declined because that weight was too much for Manny. Arum had set up this fight with Margarito vs Manny so it’s their rules, Margarito doesn’t have a choice because this is a fight that could give him a second chance. Floyd isn’t stupid, you think he’s going to let Arum screw him so Manny can have the edge over him lol I doubt it.

  • DaxxMD says:

    Mayweather Fans please convince your FLOYDIE to sign up for the fight against Pacquiao…. Convince FLOYDIE that this will be an EASY FIGHT let’s see if he could find the courage to even think about it..

  • Brendan says:

    i like how this guy throws out false statements with no factual basis, and no proof to prove what he is saying is fact. Pacman “isn’t” being criticized for his catch wieght or for fighting who he fought. He is being praised because this is his 8th world title. Get off mayweathers c**k Dave.

  • Jon says:

    @LoveMeOrHateMe, Yeah Floydd doesnt fight catchweights cause he wants to take advantage of his weight. Look what happened to his tune up fight against JMM. There was a set weight but he took advantage of it by not respecting the limit and came in way heavier! Simply knowing that JMM is a way smaller opponent than him isn’t enough. He really had to come in a lot heavier and take advantage of it for a sure win. That’s pathetic.

  • pinOY says:

    Of course Pacman couldnt have killed Mayweather…believe me all Pacs opponents pay with their face destroyed and if not for retirement, out cold….Pacman is a Fighter…Floyd is a Boxer…who do you think is going to win…think about it…

  • LagunaBoi says:

    @LoveMeOrHateMe: People who understand boxing already know what you are saying, bro. But there are those who turn a blind eye because they have vested interest in Pac staying hyped — anybody who makes a living from boxing or as an effect of. But once you accept that boxing is a business first, entertainment second, and sports a distant third, then you will be at peace with the goings-on. Boxing now is just a notch above WWF. At least, in boxing, the fighters really hit each other. LOL.

  • LoveMeOrHateMe says:

    Finally someone with some sense at mind, I love Manny as a boxer, and he is great but he is built up to fighting at catch-weights! I couldn’t believe that Margarito was at 150 and Manny was even lower than that! There fighting for the 154 junior middle belt but it’s at a catch-weight, he won a title that wasn’t worth winning, yeah he has won a lot of titles but he was true warrior at the lower weights but now Bob Arum is turning him into a joke. Floyd might of been out of commission lately but at least he has the balls to fight at a real weight class, Manny fought Oscar at a catch-weight, so Oscar had to basically kill himself to make weight! But Floyd fights Oscar for his title at 154! A real weight class and has a great fight with him, because Oscar was at his best in that division. I love that Manny is a proven winner but these catch-weights are pointless and to the real boxing fans out there that really know what a catch-weight is then they will understand. Manny people just like Manny because he’s winning but I’m a fan of boxing and that match was B.S! Why fight Margarito knowing he was just beaten badly by Mosley (Which Manny ducked) Why not fight Berto!? I feel Manny would win but why not? Why Not Martinez or Williams. Cotto and Clottey both were losers to Margarito and we know what happened to him! Hatton and Oscar were never the same after Floyd beat them. They give Manny too much credit and I’m tired of it man. Boxing is dying because of this! It’s all about money and not real fights. Let Manny fight Paul Williams, Martinez or Floyd at 154 and we’ll see if he’s really the best fighter ever. He’s one of the best welter-weights ever but not of best boxer of all time. Belts mean nothing now. Manny will never move up to 154! He has to either bring you down a notch or at a catch-weight!

  • Haye fan says:

    Pacquiao is a all time great and looked great against Margarito, but Floyd is a different class altogether to Margarito so there is no way anybody can he say he beats floyd because he beat Margarito.

  • boxing legend says:

    dave ur just as bad as chris williams. why did ffloyd fight a smaller marquez. he out weighed him by at least 20 pounds in that fight. would like to know why u and chris never mention mayweather fighting paul williams. paul has called him out numorous times. and to set the record straight after the cotto margarito fight margararito asked floyd to get it on and he DUCKED him also. there is proof of this because the conversation was recorded and its on youtube. i cant believe myself i used to be a hardcore mayweather fan but the smoked cleared a long time ago. and just because im black doesnt mean im stupid.

  • Mexicutioner says:

    Boxing historian Bert Sugar said about Pacquiao: “I’ve already accorded him the greatest Asian fighter ever, the greatest left-handed fighter ever,” he said. “He’s easily in the top 20 (all time list).”

    He added that Pacquiao’s achievement is comparable to what boxing great Henry Armstrong did in the 1930′s, which was a time when there were fewer weight divisions. Armstrong held 3 world titles in 3 weight classes.

    “[This is] something only done in respect to the number of divisions by Henry Armstrong… This is equal. I have Armstrong in No. 2 in the all time [list]. So you gotta give Pacquiao a high place on the Panthaleon.”

  • Hijackersky says:

    youre not surprised coz youre a diehard mayweather fan, is why…

    and could you simply stop writing notes against pacman that are twisted facts?…they just dont hold water for the boxing fans..

    if youre so good at predicting the outcome of a fight, how come everything you wrote about pacman-margarito fight DIDNT come true?…tell me!!!

    and how about getting mayweather to sign a contract for a fight with pacman?

  • davepogi says:

    dave, why not just give pacquiao proper due? your negativity and epic fail pedictions sickens me.

  • Mexicutioner says:

    Why won’t this author question Paul Williams fighting at catchweight at 157 lbs rather than 160 lbs against a smaller Martinez? A bigger guy asking to fight at catchweight, why can’t a smaller ask for it? This author is just so obsessed with Pacquiao. I think this author is badly in love with Pacquiao. lol
