The Secret to Beating Manny Pacquiao
May 15th, 2011
By Joss Gooseman:
The Pacific Typhoon
Like a storm from the orient which wrecks havoc on everything that stand in its way, Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao just blasts away at every opponent they put in front of him. He sends his opponents into retirement and to those who have not done so, left them with self-examination of their worth as fighters and boxers. They’ve watched endless tapes of Pacquiao fights with their trainers and coaches, devised game plans to exploit what they perceived as weaknesses in Pacquiao’s fighting style, then get the resolve in their minds to beat Pacquiao, but alas!, come fight night they are left stunned and bewildered, somehow they never understood what had just happened. Sometimes its’ actually a blessing if they get knocked out cold like Ricky Hatton, if only to be saved from further punishment and physical injury like Margarito with his damaged orbital bone, who may never fight again. Or they may suddenly go by way of Joshua Clottey and Shane Mosley, that is to turtle-up or get that bicycle and start pedaling backwards.
The wonder of Manny Pacquiao is the metamorphosis from a one-handed slugger with the devastating straight left to the complete fighter he is now. Roach is brilliant with his work, no doubt about that. But as they say, you can’t teach a horse to talk. Even Roach himself said as much. He only brought out what Pacquiao already has, albeit the fact that Pacquiao himself didn’t know those abilities existed. Whereas in the past, he was just going in forward gear, extending the right hand with that useless paw of a jab to land the powerful left, with his recent fights, he even hurts his opponents with his right hook. And he made good use of his amazing foot-speed by utilizing it for his lateral movements, and as of late, his in-and-out style of fighting. Anybody who have been following the sports of boxing may have realized at that moment in time, in that fight with Lehdwaba, that the raw, explosive kid is special. Emphasized more so in the Barrera fight. That Manny Pacquiao will go a long way.
Rise to the Top
Eight-division world champion, the first boxer in history to win ten world titles, the first to win in eight weight divisions, and the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes and the current number one fighter in the world pound for pound , boy oh boy, that’s one heck of a long way. But as with every individual with accomplishments, there is the inevitable course of being compared to other athletes within the sports with notable achievements. Nobody can really put the name of Manny Pacquiao in a sentence without mentioning the other name – Floyd Mayweather Junior. Now, most of Floyd’s fans will argue that Pacquiao fought fighters he has already beaten.Well, maybe it’s exactly for that reason that Pacquiao fought them at all. Floyd beat them but Pacqauio demolished them. Therein lies the huge difference. That’s the statement Pacquiao made.
The Common Denominator
One very glaring evidence to point this fact out are the fights with Shane Mosley of whom both men faced in the ring.. In Mosley’s fight with Floyd Mayweather Junior, he got Floyd hurt, and hurt really bad. The superb tacticain, the master of defense, the epitome of “slickness” was hurt by Mosley. But Shane just gassed out and even at that, Floyd could not even finish him off in a spectacular fashion. But with Shane’s fight with Pacquiao, not once, not ever, did Shane land a clean punch on the “defense-defective” Pacquiao. The Pacquiao who was so “easy-to-hit”. The “no-head-movement” Pacquiao. But as many have seen, it was Mosley who got hurt by Pacquiao. And there’s no blaming the Pacman if he was not able to close the fight in a spectacular fashion either. Who could have, with Mosley on his bike backpedaling all the way to Pomona?
The Secret
Now back to our topic, is there a secret to beat Manny Pacquiao?
Yes there is …the secret is to befriend him. Yup, that’s right foks, you all heard that right. Be friends with Manny Pacquiao. Because deep inside him Pacquiao is a kind man in spite of the nature of his calling. He’ll feel bad about hurting his opponents. More so, if you are his “friend”. How many times did he get his “idol” dela Hoya off the hook when he just stepped back instead of going in for the kill when he got Oscar’s back on the ropes, all ripe for being taken down? Or the playful tap with both gloves on both his “friend” Clottey’s ears when he got exasperated with his clammed-up opponent? Was anybody blind not to see him glancing at the referee to stop the fight when he broke Margarito’s orbital bone? Or his so, so sweet lovefest with Mosley, tapping gloves before and after each round? But after that “knockdown”, in that Mosley fight, Pacquiao changed, now that was the Pacman we knew, the mad and pissed-off Pacquiao, the angry Pacquiao, the explosive Pacquiao. As if he said – “alright then, you pushed me, no more love taps”, then went after Shane like a hungry wolf after a rabbit. Boy, I just wished Manny has gotten mad, really mad earlier. But he couldn’t. Because Molsey is his “friend”.
Roach was so annoyed by the Mosley glove taps. Like in the dela Hoya fight in which Roach was quoted as saying to Pacquiao- ” he is not your friend, do your job, get this guy out of here”. You see, Pacquiao loves his friends, he doesn’t want them getting hurt.
So one piece of advice to Floyd Mayweather Junior, stop the racist chants, the midget insults, the “limelight-stealing” tweets, the accusations,..and just get to be friends with Manny Pacquiao. Play some rounds of pool, wager on a game of darts, play some chess, a round of one-on-one hoops, or jam with his band. If you think his singing sucks, don’t tell him that, it may drive you crazy, but just endure his rendition of a sickly sweet Dan Hill song. Hey, maybe introduce him to some rap and r&b music. Maybe sign him up to your Philthy Rich Record Company, why the heck not, huh?
And you will see that he will feel really bad when he gets you on your backside on that canvas. And if it happens again and you find yourself on that canvas again in another round, don’t worry he’ll let you get up and let you finish the round on your feet. He might even let you finish the whole darn fight on your feet. Remember, Pacquiao loves his friends.
But wait…
Well, there’s this little detail – maybe he might momentarily forget. It might momentarily escape from his mind, and he might just mess you up and then remember, “oh, heck, that’s my friend right there” and then even try to help you up from the canvas, like he did to David Diaz. Or ask the doctors and medics if you’re ok, like he did in the Hatton fight.
But hey, one thing I’m sure though, is he’ll feel really bad about it afterwards, he will feel so sorry that he’ll invite you to his next grand birthday party to make it all up.
Accept the fight first,….then accept the invitation.
What better way for that O to go,huh?

the key to beating Manny is RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE..SILLY HEADS
the fighter to beat pacquiao is called “adam” and he is trained by an ex-boxer called “charlie”….LOL
OR VLADIMIR MAYBE HE HE HE!!
the only one who can beat pacman RIGHT NOW is….IRON MIKE TYSON
a really nice article, sarcasm at its best! i laughed my arse out. this is a slap on the face artcilcle to floyd and his fans. bwahahahahaha
Great article, it just made my Day!!!! thanks!
@Boomshakalakah!
You name alone is to stupid for me to even respond…
WEIDO!
@BoxingGuru
Go watch the 1st 24/7 Margarito you weirdo…
It’s there for you to see
Mosley said to Richardson after 3rd knockdown,” I am deeply touched” hehehehe!!!
@Anonymous … please give the link
lol pac hasn’t said yes to anything.
well he did LIE on national television when he said he agreed to testing.
because only a few days later, his ‘advisor’ (aka handjob boy) Michael Koncz then admitted to the media that they didn’t actually agree to full random testing.
lmao.
pac is a liar, a fraud, a hypejob, and worst of all, he’s just a plain simple COWARD.
There is no direct quote saying that Manny will take USADA testing….that is a lie plain and simple…where are the quotes…
@Pacquiao exposed … read the updates and current!!!
MANNY ALREADY SAID YES TO THE RANDOM TESTING, so move on.
PU-$$ Floyd’s current excuses:
1) He wants to fight more than $50 million
2) He does not like Top Rank, so he does not want to sign the contract.
@Killa and all Pacman haters
Please keep up with the news:
1) RBT is not an issues: Manny already said yes to the RBT … please listen to several of his interviews
2) Floyd wants more money: Floyd has said no to $50 million to fight with Manny.
3) Floyd hates Top Rank: In a current interview with Floyd, he stated he hates Top rank and is not “willing” to deal with Arum to close the deal.
Bottom line: Floyd is the reason this fight will not happen … Floyd is the PU-$$!
Raid r it is you that is the idiot! My step father is a doctor so I do know about blood and testing. Some athletes are required to submit blood between and during events like the Olympics. They never get weak from giving a teaspoon of blood! You guys keep covering for this phony and the media is now calling him out too!
@RaidR
Your an idiot! I’ve never been told that after doing a blood test. I’m diabetic! A Vial of blood is not a Pint of blood like you do when you donate. Are you getting them confused? Nice try though… LOL! SMH, so many excuses for a man who doesnt wanna take a test so both men cane be clean and may the best man win. I truly don’t understand Pactards!
Nice Article Joss!
“Floyd beat them but Pacqauio demolished them. Therein lies the huge difference. That’s the statement Pacquiao made.”
@shuteye
Your full of excuses…
@ Sean
Dude your knowledgeble but not wise
in short “IDIOT”
@ Sean
Have you paid your bills already?
How much did you bet for Mosley?
LOL
@killa
When Manny lost to Morales, the reasons Manny gave were 1) the blood sample they have to take a week for HIV test before the fight because they lost the sample taken the previous week that made him weak 2) the Winner gloves that was forced on Pacquiao instead of his preferred Cleto Reyes. Everyone including Floyd heard this on TV thats why he is demanding blood test to weaken Pacquiao.
Crotty; who better to know then a cheater himself?
@chuck; I have tried to respond but this site won’t allow me to post anything going against love for Manny. I guess you won this round by default
@Sean…
Now you’re saying that Mosley is a barometer to find a drug user?
You’re getting funnier.
Take the test pedboy. There is the secret. Eric Morales beat him easy when pac had to test. Then in the next fight what happened? Pac won easy! What changed? Pac won’t do randoms any more! Since he got ferddie Roach he has gotten bigger and more powerful too! Mostly his head ! Other roach fighters been caught juicing too!
Secret? What secret? Only cheaters do not want random testing!
@sean:
if you were begging for money for food from truck drivers during your teenage years, maybe you can duplicate half what he’s done, in terms of career muscle gain.
And if you had your very own university-trained conditioning coach.
The secret? Make him take a blood test, the last time he took a blood test. He lost to Eric Morales! FACT!
@crotty; Manny is a cheater! Would Wlad say Acre hits harder then Sanders if they fought? Mosley saying Manny hits harder then anyone he faced should raise a red flag. Shane is saying Paq is cheating! Please explain!
The secret to beating this overhyped flip is to limit his juicing.
Mosley threw 122,more punches verses Mayweather to land a total of 26 more punches, then he did verses Paq. Manny threw 250 more punches just to land 16 more punches then Mayweather did. Tru these PAC fans don’t know math
Floyd got hurt by a washed-up over-the-hill Mosley. He almost lost to a washed up Dela Hoya.
He’ll never fight Manny to save his 0.
He’ll never fight Martinez or Williams to save his 0.
If the Philippines got hormone and steroids that can’t be detected, we should be a major sporting power by now. But all we have are top-level boxers, bowlers, billiard players and dancers.
@sean try
How is it like to be an idiot?
Maybe manny want a lil malnurished coming outta poverty and finally got to eating right
@tru; they think it’s normal to move up twelve divisions. Manny weighed 98 pounds in his first fight at 105. What Mosley did was called using movement and defense verses Manny. They believe the art of Boxing consist of swinging wildly hoping to land a haymaker. Manny shouldn’t be able to buzz any fighter above 122 since he came from 105. Can some explain how to gain 52 pounds of solid muscle? We trainers and bodybuilders are waiting for this holy Grail of info
@Truboxingfan
Facts? The facts are manny got tagged with fewer shots vs Mosley than Mayweather did.
Did you sneak into mosley’s bedroom to get a confession from him that he chose not to punch?
Fact is you can’t punch anymore if you’re already afraid to get more hurt.
and you too Truboxingfan…. you ADORE Floyd’s tap-run-hug boxing skill and that made you an expert?
You and Sean are funny creatures.
@Truboxingfan: Mosley took a dive? That’s BS from you!
If he wins, he gets a $15M rematch clause. WTFruit is wrong with you?
@Sean….
Do you even know what “facts” mean? Here, I did it for you.
1.) something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence. 2.) a true piece of information.
You made Ped-insinuation on Pacquiao part of your daily routine, but where are your facts?
Also in regards to the guy that wrote this article, come on man stop playing yourself. These fanboys make there selves sound so stupid. The blueprint to beating pacquaio is no different then when morales beat him. YOu just have be able have a little lateral movement and counter his mistakes. Also a great jab and right hand definitely helps. If you know boxing, you know this. Pacquaio has always leaped forward with his punches, he doesn’t fight any different then when he was younger. If mosley wasn’t payed to take a dive he would of easily exposed pacquaio. Arum thought they could try to make pacquaio look better then floyd in beating mosley, but real boxing fans know it was and epic fail. But these pactards can’t think for themselves and just listen to what these paid puppets say, because they don’t know boxing at all. Use your common sense and learn the sport.
@trubox
Quit trying to pick up guys on this website. H o mo.
@sean, my man these pactards won’t listen. It doesn’t matter how many facts you drop, they don’t understand because they don’t understand boxing. Thats the thing, nowadays most of these bandwagon riding fans don’t even really no what there watching in the ring, and they base there opinion off of what commentators say and pacquaio or whoevers team says. I’ve even heard pactards say that hes now a defensive wizard the way he was making mosley miss, when it was so obvious that mosley could easily hit him when he wanted to. These pactards have know idea what there watching in that ring. And because of money hungry characters like Roach and Arum, People are starting to think that skilled boxing is running. But standing there throwing a 1000 wild punches with out no defense, is skilled boxing. I can’t wait till the whole pacquaio scam is over and the pactards can leave boxing alone again, or at least follow a real skilled fighter like Nonito Donaire.
Sean is a fool. It took manny around 13 years. He started in 95 as a pro.
@sean
If you’re writing facts! I read in one of your comments in the previous article. You’ve said that manny gained 40 lbs of muscles in less than 3 years.. is that facts or fabricating?
Sorry,sorry,I am asking myself why I read this article,the writer is just a great fan of Pacquiao.Why can this writer say that for defeating Pacquiao you must become his friend?
Simply ridicul to read things like this.
The secret to beating pac is left hooks to the body. If u hurt any fighters liver it will take alot of the fight outta them. Pacquiao being a left handed fighter has his liver sticking right out there. After that,.crisp staight right hands are there all day. Just dont tell mayweather.
Acre will fight Vatali and hit him harder then Sanders did. Make sense to you?
@Power VCT
floyd is not available so don’t include him
@crotty; all I am doing is writing facts and listening to excuses in response. I have you in the palm of my hand because you know the truth hurts! If what I wrote was fabricating in the slightest bit I would be shutdown by now. By the way thanks for reporting my comments, now I get moderated before my post are posted.
martinez vs pac is not possible mate. I’m a fan of both of them,
he said it’s too much for martinez now weighing 158 lbs to come down below 154 lbs, he must loose 5-6 lbs whilst manny now weighing 145 lbs have to move up 9-10 lbs to fight at 154 lbs. That’s too much for the both of them.
The secret of beating Paquiao is? use your big dirty and spread rummors about peds! like what haters do!!!
Im afraid your article makes little sense.. How can You use Manny letting up a bit on his apponents as a secret to beating him??
You claim Manny was friendly with De la hoya, Mosley, etc and then go on to say the secret to beating him is to be friendly with him? How then Manny beats these so called friends?
There is no secret to beating Manny, abd if this is the way Manny treats his friends Hatton, De la hoya, Margarito then i would hate to be his enemy.
I thought canelo is a light middleweight now
Pac-A-Roids catch weight title and opponents mean NOTHING! Paul Williams, Zab Judah, Mike Jones (who), Tim Bradley and PBF are all available! Isn’t it funny how Emmanuel has NOT called out any of these fighters. BTW, he also wants no part of S. Martinez whom glad stated he will come down to 154lbs to fight him also! The fraud has been exposed!
the secret to beat manny is to kidnap his wife!
The secret to beating Pacquiao is to submit him to take a random blood test..
True is there was no in and out movement from Pacquiao against Mosley. He is ready for the taking and will fall…but not against older smaller JMM…
He will fall to a Ortiz or any other good young fighter…If he chooses to face a young KO artist..
Canelo is a big welter and would walk through Pacman punches…
i
The secret of beating him is what Mayweather is doing bet him with your mouth not your fist,fabricate all the negative accusations and proclaim your self as the best.zero lose,clean no drugs,so you bet him to the pulp and your loyalists will rejoice.
This was a ok article but floyd is noy getting alot of credit. Whatbout the fact that floyd has brittle hands but still was able to beat guys when they were fresh fighters. Anither question why would floyd paul williams hes a dam 6’2 middlewight thst can fight at welterweight but as u can see paul doesnt have what it takes to stay in the middleweight division. People are so retarded on here. Knockout
When you fight old guys that have been thru wars and are a shadow of what they once were you are going to win. What secret? Any fresh fighter that is in his prime would beat him!

The world will NEVER EVER see Manny Pacquiao face a young talented fighter! He will continue fighting over the hill names. The over the hill fighters oblige for the payday.
1) Clottey
2) Cotto
3) Margarito
4) Mosley
5) JMM
6) Clottey II
7) Cotto II
Margarito II
HAD ENOUGH? THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF THE PILIPINES HAS….
———————————————————-
so you mean they are all not talented and old?
1)cotto- younger than pac, formerly holds several titles and is the reigning WBA Super WW champion
2)margarito- same age as pac and a former WBA, IBF, WBO WW champion
3)clottey- 1 yr older than pac and a former IBF welterweight champion
not to mention mosley and JMM coz they are older but they are former champions and title holders.
Don’t worry mate when pac is finished fighting all the tough ones in WW dividsion he will fight the young talented fighters..
what if pac fought all the younger fighters first.. I’m sure haters will complaind again that pac fought unexperienced fighters… and haters will say to pac why don’t you fight tough fighters your age like so and so.
Can anyone imagine Acre moving up that many divisions and beating Vatali? Twelve divisions?
Manny has a knowledge of nutrition that no other human being has.Manny’s next job should be showing the entire world how he has been to achieve what no other athlete can accomplish doing in any sport.He’s clean alright!
The key to beating Manny is removing is power pellets!
The major news organizations have reported that Manny Pacquiao has chosen his next opponent after JMM. That opponent is “Minny ME” from Los Angeles studios to be held in the Pilipines.
It is reported that the fight has already “Sold Out” and the local residents are expecting a hard and competitive fight for 12 rounds. One resident reportedly was so excited about the fight that he had to be sedated and hospitalized.
Bob Arum will try to sell this fight to HBO, Showtime, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, or anybody that will take it. Right now, the Pilipino’s don’t care, and can barely hold in their excitement.
The world will NEVER EVER see Manny Pacquiao face a young talented fighter! He will continue fighting over the hill names. The over the hill fighters oblige for the payday.
1) Clottey
Margarito II
2) Cotto
3) Margarito
4) Mosley
5) JMM
6) Clottey II
7) Cotto II
HAD ENOUGH? THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF THE PILIPINES HAS….
The secret to beating pacquiao currently is two names.
1) Floyd Mayweather Jr.
2) Victor Ortiz
Floyd, floyd , floyd again!!
There is no secret to beating him. You have to be a good boxer and be able to take and give a punch. He has avoided real opposition as of late to cash in.
good article: the only not true thing is : pacquiao ask the referee twice to check margarito out becouse manny could’nt take it no more (he wanted just to stop fighting becouse he was hurt to the body) margarito landed on manny two body shots that really hurts manny.margarito plan was perfect but he was to slow to match pacquiao punches and acuracy.
Great article! Such a nice read.
It is so sad that fans of Mayweather and others who hate or are jealous of Manny Pacquiao, resort to baseless accusations of PED use by Pacman and even downplay his intelligence. Not satisfied with attacking Pacquiao, they even criticize the whole Filipino race in general, even accusing them of selling their daughters. We Filipinos are generally good-natured, God-fearing, respectful and friendly people. Over the years, we have been treated unfairly by our colonizers, mainly the Spaniards, the Americans and the Japanese. Instead of having a continuous grudge against these colonizers, Filipinos have long forgiven them and consider them as friends and brothers. That’s how good Filipinos are and shame on those who try to besmirch us only because they hate Pacquiao, who is idolized by his countrymen.
there is no secret in beating Manny. Its there and the fighters are there. The answer to the puzzle is for Manny to fight young top contenders or champions.
2. If he fights a young hungry fighter that JABS he’s done.
3. Manny fought Marg who is actually heavier than Sergio Martinez… he fights MAetinez at 150 catchweight and he’s gonna die
4.Alfredo Angulo and Cintron can make 147 but are being snubbed.
5. Take Olympic style drug tests without cut-offs and mayweather will cut him a check
The key to beating Manny Pacquiao is a fighter who is an aggressive counter puncher with a strong chin with an endurance of a marathon runner.
The closest to that is Juan Manuel Marquez EXCEPT JMM has a below average chin. He beat Katsidis recently, but with his weak chin, Katsidis knocked Juan Manuel Marquez down for a standing 8 count before JMM got the TKO. Barely anyone knows about this since most didn’t even bother paying to see it.
At a catch weight of 144LBS, there is no advantage for Pac/JMM. JMM was weighing 143-144 on the day he fought Katsidis. Pac Fights at 144-146 on the day of his fights as a welter.
Everyone likes to say Money May will easily beat Pac. That could be the case, but the key to beating Pac is to be an aggressive counter puncher. Money May is no longer an aggressive fighter at welter weight. At lower weights, Mayweather was EXTREMELY aggressive. At welter? NO!
Also, forget about the upper cuts that Manny is susceptible to. Pacquiao is more susceptible to a COUNTER LEFT HOOK. When Pacquiao gets out of position, the COUNTER LEFT HOOK is the key! Cotto made Pacquiao’s ear look like cauliflower. Even Mosley got a counter left hook in, but didn’t realize it since Brother Naazim kept saying it’s all about throwing Mosley’s right hand. Well, Pac forced Mosley to keep his right hand up since Pac’s straight left is like a missle.
To surmise, the COUNTER LEFT HOOK is the punch that will cause damage to Pac. And it will take an aggressive counter puncher with a strong chin and endurance.
Styles make fights. Only reason Pacquiao beat JMM is because JMM has a BELOW AVERAGE CHIN.
JMM is a technically better fighter, but it is Pacquiao’s determination to go for the knock out is what has pushed him over the edge.
Mayweather is a superior talent. But anyone whose ever been around talent knows that talent alone will not get it done with a fighter like Pac who wills himself to victory.
Sadly, if the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight ever happens, it will be like Jones v. Hopkins II. The fighters are too old. The only reason Mayweather fights Pacquiao is when the gambling addiction wins out and he becomes broke in Vegas. Until then, this Mega fight is only a dream.
Manny Pacquiao does not want his opponents to be hurt badly, that’s how good a person he is. However, he can also be very angry if pushed around continuously like what Floyd and the rest of the Mayweather clan are doing in their relentless insinuation that Manny’s success is due to PEDs. This deep anger could push Pacquiao to be merciless with Floyd if they do fight. Look for a vicious KO by Manny on Floyd which would force Floyd to retire from boxing.
VERY GOOD ARTICLE,
LOVE TO READ IT.
maybe you just did…
bonds girlfriend said he took so many peds he was impotent. they had many witnesses come forward and say they injected him. his head grew 3 hat sizes…its impossible for it to grow at all without steroids…it goes on and on…and mayweather defends him? while he has no evidence of pac doing anything illegal. yet wont fight him. someone needs to explain this to me?
Guys, it’s useless to talk to those Pac-haters, no matter what, they’ll going to discredit Manny for what he has accomplished. It’s just like those American Haters around the world, they still think that NASA sent those astronauts to the moon was a fake. They say it was in a desert somewhere in the US where NASA took the picture as if it was in the moon. Who cares about those pigs! Who cares about those Pac-haters!
manny has been trying to corner mayweather by fighting the same fighters and doing better against them. he has. while mayweather has the peds to hide behind. (of course mayweather can accuse pac, but defends bonds, who gained 55 pounds of muscle in 2 years…while balco has records of him purchasing 7 different types of peds…so is this really about cheating?)
so much critics and excuses if we are counting 25 mil. dollar per fight it is serious number already. if somebody is claiming Manny Pacman is cheating go for it and prove he is cheating.
NOW if no one can prove it you are just jealous about anything about his success,you don’t like anything about him. this just a game.
after all this just sport. we should just enjoy we don’t need to hate it’s other PEACE.
bongz. he is not just a slugger, he has extemely fast hands, moves extremely well. he is a great boxer. a much bigger man with a jab might have a chance. but you wont be able to run from him, you may survive, but his fast hands and angles, he gives better angles than any fighter in the game, would insure a points victory.
foreal
i respect you and always read your posts. but i dont think there is anyone out there who can beat manny. except maybe a prime sugar ray (take your pick).
ortiz, berto, zaveck are right behind him at welterweight (they would all 3 be easily beaten, they are all way to sloppy and slow (yes even berto would look slow).
cotto, cintron, and argulo are the 3 top dogs next rung up at jr middleweight. he has already beaten cotto, and though he would take more hits from cintron he would win. and argulo is way way too slow. who is he supposed to fight…?
Good article
Da only way a fighter can beat Pacman is by jabing and not let him fight inside. Another way is by moving alot.
manny has the fastest hands ive ever seen….and yet he throws with power. its why he cant be beat at present. i recently watched him train and his hands were literally a blur. never seen a fighter throw hard punches in a blur before, seldom seen fighters who can throw pitty-pat that fast. its why fighters claim his fights are fixed. they give up and go into a shell, just like mosley did. hes far better than mayweather. anybody who was was losing to an old oscar, wouldnt have a chance against a young pacquiao. mosley couldnt effectively chase mayweather. but he was afraid of pacquiao. mosley could hurt mayweather, he couldnt hurt pacquiao.
sorry boxing fans, your sport is dead, got owned by MMA.
MMA Rulez!!!
@foreal -thanks, bruh.
Floyd mayweather fully understands what would happen if he ever faces MAnny the king in the ring, he can die…literally
@john: and may I add – Who’s believing the hype?
Yes, I thought so too.
@ mightor
Well said my brother….we are speaking the same lanquage.
@foreal -bruh, maybe you got a point, the only fault i see with Pacquiao is being a yes man to Arum’s decisions. The blame mainly is on Arum. But when was it ever the promoter’s primary goal to please the fans? It was always about the money. Always has been, always will be. So we might as well live with it. I just hope MMA doesn’t usurp boxing’s place in the scheme of things. Couple of sweaty men writhing entwined on the mat. Now that to me, is gross.
And thats! including the writter on this site.
Roach is not genious, he is only smart enough to fool every body and you all buy it. Theirs a saying that everything are base on deception, what you see, you believe.As long as theirs a fool who are willing to buy it this H Y P E will continue for ever.
So many people are now talking about how well Packman has been matched in the recent bouts. Even the not so keen boxing fans are laughing about it. For once, there are un beaten humgry fighters out there. Even amongst those that are carrying losses, Manny can still pick a decent fight. If there isn’t anybody out there like Arum thinks, then this era stinks, then there isn’t any greatness about this era.
i meant if you don’t find the humor that was meant to be conveyed, then that is your problem. these article was well thought-out, the organization of sub topics perfect, the main point driven thru clearly, the use of humor sublime in it’s simplicity. now compare this with the ramblings os lahr and company…that is my point.
@foreal .. u said “Manny should face real opposition” … so who are your picks? … lets hope they’ll be lined up after marquez … pac will fight as long as he can … unlike u-know-who hahaha
@perfect1
if Cotto is a bum, what do we call your boy Floyd for ducking him? “because puerto rico is too far away” – Floyd.
tell me, what we call your boy Floyd for ducking a “bum” in Cotto?
ROFLMAO!!!
Once you have found the secret to beating Manny, please let me know the recipe for Coca-Cola
@ mightor
You are probably one of those people who have fallen into Chris and Dave’s traps. To me then it shows that you are not smart. Whay Chris and Dave have managed to do is un ravel simple minds like you into throwing tantrums. They understand that your power of reason is limited by the cult kind of support that you possess. i am smart enough to know when somebody just wants a discussion or when there are serious issues for discussion. I will not insult you, but just doubt your power of reason.
That is EXACTLY what Floyd just did recently, i.e. being “friend”
Floyd said in his recent interview that “he doesn’t hate the Pacman”. He hates Arum though.
Looks like Floyd knows it already before you wrote this excellent article.
@foreal – one thing I noticed, bruh, is almost the writers who are Pro-Pacquiao are way smarter than those Pro-Mayweather.
now if you can call Lahr, Williams and company smart, then I think you belong with them, I rest my case.
Pacman fights fighters that stands in front of him and dont move he hasnt fought a real fight since he fought Jaun every fighter he fights is either slow or stands right in front of him pacman is good but he is very over rated dont believe me check his last few fights Mosley (old),Margarito(slow),Clottey(bum),Hatton(slow),Cotto(washed up),Dela Hoya(old)
@Abweiser
well they havent enlighten yet taht is… LoL
@Abweiser
well they havent been enlighten that is.. LoL
To all Floyd fans stop making excuses, I was once a Floyd fan, Floyd is a joke and a disgraced for the sport. If Floyd never fight Manny, then surely he will always be remembered by fans as the fighter who made excuses not to fight the best. Come on Floyd fight, show to all your fans what you’ve made of. Don’t let us down.
if mosley is to be quoted correctly he said mayweather has the best and most complex deffense other words mayweather got skills while pacquiao has the most power to my knowledge defense can overcome power, another thing mosley actually was hitting pacquiao clean but after that third round knock down he ran the whole fight. so lets be fair and speak the truth. though im not a fan of either it isnt like pacman is light years ahead of mayweather they are each others kryptonite
St. Pacman wont gonna be easy with flydie the devil. even if he befriend with the pac. light and dark always battles. flydie will tumble down back the hell once he hit with a left hook!
this is how he put Hatton out cold in 2 rounds, cuz he knows Hitman is in devil’s possession (Floydie Daddy). thats why he does a quick exorcism!
hahahaha…
About the TS. good article it made my day!
@bnb: how low can you get? this is a boxing site and you spew all that sh!!…man, your mouth must smell really bad. LOL!
I don’t think even a whole box of Listerine would help.
I feel so sorry for you, bruh.
tsk, tsk, tsk, SMH.
@NaSa Deen
Then put your idol in the ring with pacquiao. The problem is his balls shrink when he hears the name of pacquiao.
@giaco
well, put your idol in the ring and we’ll see what pacquiao is going to do to him. I am sure it is not going to be pretty and i am sure he will not allow mayweather to finish the fight just like what he did to margarito.
brilliant article by the way…some people need to get lives if they don’t find humor in this article. keep up the good work, mr. gooseman. excellent work, sir.
funny, very very funny floydiots
when they get faced with the truth, they get all personal and then spew out all outlandish and offending things. so much like their idol and his clan of felons.
what, nothing else to say about boxing?
i pity you.really.
BNB Whoever you are you have no right to insult in general the Filipino race. You are demeaning the Filipino men and degrading our women. This is not the subject of the of the written article. If what you are saying is borne out of your own character, that is selling your own daughter, then I say AMEN.
Is the Pinoy is Bruce Lee go to the UFC and prove his MMA skills.
The Pinoys all kneel to Manny C0ck. They are all g@y.
The Pinoy can fight Paul Williams at 150 if he wanted a challenge.
The coward Pinoy only fights the old who cant fight back.
@BNB “I curse all the Pinoys who sell their daughter into sex slavery and then go and get high with the money they made…”. There goes the difference Chief, I am Pinay and I’d do more than curse if that happens, then get high smelling burning flesh, with fire started by the money they made:). Your great pretender of a prizefighter is doing worse to “her” own.
All his effing fans can go to hell with him…
I curse all the Pinoys who sell their daughter into sex slavery and then go and get high with the money they made..
is this a joke? Pac’s opponent in the ring is not his friend. I don’t think Pac got mercy against aging Mosley.
The fact: Pac cannot find the killing punch for a moving fighter. Pac looks good against stationary fighters. Pac got frustrated with Mosley plus the crowd boos. Pac was not happy later because he knows he didn’t able to beat up or knock out Mosley.
Against Mayweather who knows the distance and spacing, Pac will get frustrated as hell. And he will get the lead right hand from Floyd all night long.
Watch this november against Marquez. Again, Marquez knows how to expose Pac. He demonstrated it in mexican TV how to counter Pac’s combos.
Don’t play around that mercy thing. It’s a shame. Stop it.
What we have here is a Pinoy on steroids. He wouldn’t be afraid of a test….
They Pinoy was offended…Remember this is business. The Pinoy refused a test and said no to 50M why…He’s on steroids.
The Pinoy is God on steroids…
If the Pinoy is God lets crucify him on Good Friday and test his dripping blood for steroids.
Interesting take on Pac-man! Really enjoyed this article! Good to read something a bit different. I think though there is a difference of Pac letting guys off the hook when he’s in control and if the fight is close! Pac has a ruthless streak and a mean side when he wants to! Great article mate. Hope to read your stuff again soon!
@Joss Gooseman Good job Chief. Would have been great without mentioning…jeez, who’s that woman beater that disguises “herself” as a prizefighter again…I forgot “her” name, oh well:). If jurors, who get paid minimally get sequestered in trials, why can’t we do it for Manny and that great pretender. Say 30 days, prior to the fight? Oh jeez, the great pretender will demand a whole year so Manny will neglect his official duties:). Then again, the great pretender might not want too long of a sequestration as “she’ll” be missing “her” 75cents:). Now I’m confused:).
Manny is like Bruce Lee…blah blah blah…
I the Pinoy is Bruce Lee for to the UFC and I bet he wouldn’t last a round against an American MMA fighter….
The Pinoy is superhuman or superman or God or Thor…or Batman….blah blah blah…The Pinoy can fly…..
Steroids…
You can say Ortiz and Williams, although not likely, CAN knock out Pacquiao or beat him at his own game. But there is no welterweight in the world who can outbox Mayweather.
Good article! Manny the merciful! Anyways Mosley felt the power, thus his quote in the end of the fight. “I never felt so much power.
Pac is this, Pac is that……Please maintain that focus. If Mayweather ever fights Pac, those who TRUELY understands that “boxing is a thinking man’s game” will know why Mayweather beats Pac. Nuff said.
ha ha ha ha i really loled at the phrase “He sends his opponents into retirement and to those who have not done so, left them with self-examination of their worth as fighters and boxers.” is this a trying to be a joke or what he get people from that are about to retire better writen my friend any of its last 6 bout have been from a guys coming from a single win previous get it? a SINGLE WIN!!!!
this pinoys really live to love the bigheaded midget well there is nothing else to praise in their country they have him even on congress ha ha ha ha ha what a joke….
Mosley said after the fight with Manny: “I’ve never been hit like that before.” Translation: It hurts (compared to the other fighter you know who).
I dont want Manny to be freind of Floyd i want to see Manny beat this big mought in a dramatic fashion, but i’m so soory to my self Floyd will never ever fight Manny!!!
Mannys been beaten before and if he fights long enough he’ll be beaten again. He said something after the Mosley fight when Jim Gray asked him about fighting JMJ. He said he thought he’d done enough in boxing and indicated the only reason he wanted to fight Mayweather was because the fans wanted to see it. ‘Dont think anybody can honestly doubt him.
Hahahaha!Good humor.
Nice article!! Typical PAcnuthugging!! I love it men… Please,
do write some more!!! LOL… Really, I dig it!! I’m a Pactard,…KUHA MO!!! ( Translation: You get it?? )
Hail the great PACMAN, our fists, our hero, and national treasure!!!
humorous, creative article with a punch … good work joss! .. a truth cake in funny icing
The good news, he can send a fighter in retirement. The bad news is the people he fights should be retired. LOL!
DUDE, THATS NO JOKE !!!!!! THATS FOR REAL!!!!!! PACQUIAO IS THAT GOOD!!! THIS KID GOT SOME GOD GIVEN TALENT!!!!
Whatever !!!!!! Floyd will crush manny no matter what.If this fight ever happens ill bet any of you!! And i cant stand Floyd,but it wont even be close.Manny is a good fighter with great management.Floyd is a great fighter with good management.
HAHAHA….. GOOD JOKE
