Pacquiao-Mayweather

Sure Muhammad Ali would wax poetic about how pretty he was and [...]

By Dave Lahr: The more and more I think about it, the better off Manny Pacquiao was by not choosing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think Mayweather would have totally dominated Pacquiao from start to finish with his movement and pinpoint punching, and I see the fight as one-sided slaughter. But here’s the deal: [...]

By Peter Wells: It’s a horrible thing to read all these articles on this website, targeting Pacquiao to be a cheat, and a poor fighter. This man should be respected, he deserves it, and the likes of Manuel Perez and Liam Santiago really get under my skin. If you don’t like the guy then just [...]

By Liam Santiago: Legendary boxing trainer and expert Floyd Mayweather Snr has now had time to analyze the Pacquiao/Cotto fight in more detail and, like myself and many other boxing experts, he is not impressed with Pacquiao. Pacquiao can not fight someone who goes back (like Mayweather), he doesn’t move his head and he rarely [...]

By Liam Santiago: Thank you Nate Campbell. Finally, someone with some sense. Manny Pacquiao has really been boiling my kettle lately with his wins over fighter’s who were either shot, weight drained, or shot and weight drained.

By Steve Lewis: After Manny Pacquiao’s dominant performance against top welterweight, Miguel Cotto, to capture a championship in a record-breaking 7th weight class, numerous Pacquiao skeptics became “converts.” Or at least, they were willing to finally give some due credit.

By Liam Brindle: I honestly believe that too many people (including myself) have seriously underestimated Manny ‘Pac-Man’ Pacquiao.

By Dave Lahr: Manny Pacquiao won’t be facing a weight drained fighter if the bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. is made nor will Pacquiao be fighting an opponent that had the living daylights beaten out of him in a recent fight like Miguel Cotto did in his bout with tough Mexican brawler Antonio Margarito last [...]

By Derrick P. Villanueva: 1.) Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is Stronger than Floyd “Money” Mayweather – In his recent fight with Cotto, he turned the proud Puerto Rican’s face into raw hamburger. The only other time I’ve seen him look that bad is when he got pummeled with Antonio “Hands of Plaster” Margarito. [...]

By Manuel Perez: Well, according to the latest boxing news, it appears doubtful that Manny Pacquiao will be fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2009, says Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum. Instead, it looks as if Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, or Edwin Valero will be next up for the Filipino star. Since Pacquiao wants to get the [...]

By Manuel Perez: For a fighter that only fought two rounds and barely got punched a half dozen times, it seems odd that Manny Pacquiao has decided to sit out of boxing until October 17th. That’s five long months which is an extraordinary amount of time for a fighter that fought only two measly rounds.
