The dying star in Floyd Mayweather Jr.
By Babatis Banda: It is almost certain that the star is losing its sparkle. This young man is not known for brutally knocking out his opponents, he is not known for brutal strength and punching power and neither is he known for being a hero or role model, but a pure intelligent ring master. My belief is that Floyd, like any other aging fighter is losing the edge. Time does not wait for anybody and Floyd is soon to realize that he cannot remain in top form for ever.
All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather
By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: Manny Pacquiao’s career has been circumnavigated around several blockades and recently it has found its way to Top Rank Stable Avenue. No stopping at Gary Shaw’s Place, or Don King Avenue, or Main Events Road. Nope.
Steward: Pacquiao has slipped a bit; Mayweather would beat him
By Dave Lahr: The great trainer Emanuel Steward saw Manny Pacquiao’s recent fight with Shane Mosley last weekend and came away from it thinking that Pacquiao is starting to lose his physical skills. It didn’t take a great trainer like Steward to point that out, though, because it’s painfully clear just by looking at Pacquiao that he’s starting to slow down as a fighter. The old legs aren’t moving his small frame around the ring like it used to.
Mayweather did a better job against Mosley than Pacquiao
By Eric Thomas: In analyzing how Floyd Mayweather Jr. did against Shane Mosley in his one-sided 12 round decision win last year in May and comparing it to Manny Pacquiao’s victory last night in Las Vegas, I’ve come to the conclusion that Mayweather did a much better job against Mosley than Pacquiao. It’s not even close. Other than the one punch where Mayweather was briefly hurt in the 2nd round, he dominated Mosley and was rarely hit him in the fight.
Mayweather to fight Victor Ortiz on September 17th?
By Richard Hall: It remains the most important fight that can be made in boxing today: Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) against Floyd Mayweather (41-0-0, 25 KO’s) Junior. Almost immediately after the disappointing but lopsided points win he’d scored over a reluctant “Sugar” Shane Mosley last night, Pound-for-Pound king Pac-Man was asked if he will fight “Money” next. As usual, the 32-year-old megastar uttered his “I’ll fight whoever Bob Arum puts in front of me,” Neither ruling out nor confirming a fight with the legally-troubled Mayweather.
Pacquiao looked heavy, slow and old against Mosley: Manny would have lost to Mayweather
By Eric Thomas: It was shocking how heavy, slow and lethargic WBO Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) looked in beating 39-year-old Shane Mosley (46-7-1, 39 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you compare Pacquiao to his performance against Miguel Cotto from only two years ago, Pacquiao looks a lot slower, less active and without the ability to jump in and out like he used to be able to do. He looked swelled up with too much speed-limiting muscle last night. I think it was a bad idea for Pacquiao to pack on all that muscle because it doesn’t look to be benefiting him. At this point in his career, Pacquiao looks more like a slow plodding type fighter.
Pacquiao beats Mosley, but doesn’t look ready for Mayweather
By Dallan O’ Donnell: Last night’s fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley may have been one of Manny’s worst performances of recent times, and fans may not be happy with how both fighters went about their business but we did learn something of great importance: Manny Pacquiao does not look capable of beating Floyd Mayweather Jr. I have been a long time advocate that Pacquiao would beat Mayweather with his superior work rate and relentless attack round after round, but after seeing a 39-year old Shane Mosley make the pound for pound king look as ordinary as he did I have had to change my stance.
Why Floyd watched Lady Gaga instead of Pacquiao
By The Fist and the Furious: If you can’t respect The Man until now, you will never respect him. So you might as well admit you’re a hater. This fight wasn’t among his most spectacular. It wasn’t even vintage Manny. But it was still enough to dominate, which is what Manny Pacquiao has been doing in boxing over the last decade.
Roach says he wouldn’t be surprised if Mayweather never fights again
By Jason Kim: It’s now been exactly a year since Floyd Mayweather Jr. last fought and more than a few boxing fans and writers are confused about what’s holding him back from fighting. Knowing how much Mayweather loves money, it’s very strange that he wouldn’t take the opportunity to make more of it by fighting someone – anyone.
