An Unbiased Look At Pacquiao-Mayweather

[IMDAZED]

I crushed all your fabricated information with actual facts. You conveniently ducked my post.

They don't want to see this thread again.

I've noticed.

I have avoided this topic since it began, mostly because it was and is beaten to death. But after reading many people claim Pacquiao ducked Mayweather, I felt the need to post this and see what others thought.

First of all, I am a bigger Pacquiao fan than Mayweather. I own both career sets on DVD, and if Mayweather had of stayed with the same style he utlized at Jr. LW and LW, hands down Floyd would be my guy. Regardless, I have a lot of respect for both. They are clearly superior to the majority of their peers.

However, to claim Pacquiao is ducking Mayweather is fairly comical. Since Mayweather moved up in weight, he has hand picked nearly all of his opponents. His "fights" vs De La Hoya and Marquez were hard to watch, even for a hardcore fan. I appreciate the mastery in which he conducts his craft, shutting down opponents and not getting hit. However, his offense is horrible, and his pot shotting is also a disgrace to his talents. His performance vs Corrales (RIP) shows what he is capable of, but he would rather coast and put the audience to sleep.

From his interviews you can see he is in awe of Pacquiao's talents. Claiming he "has to be on something to be doing what he's doing" etc. shows where Floyd's head is at. Talking about the possibility of "dieing in the ring" are comments I have never, throughout Floyd's career, heard him discuss. Demanding olympic style drug tests is bull****. Not the idea itself (it would be great if olympic tests were as accurate as people think, they are not, i.e. Usain Bolt, but still are better than the commission tests). The problem with Floyd demanding that is it sets a precedent for boxers to go outside of their own sanctioning bodies and create their own rules. Hence, making the boxer bigger than the sport.

There is no way Pacquiao is ducking the test. You don't agree to 21 days and say no to 14 because you fear a fail, it's posturing over Mayweather's desire to make himself bigger than the sport. Different cultures bring different beliefs, and Pacquiao is of the age old Phillipino tradition that believes blood loss (even a small dose) makes you weak. It's mental, it's documented, and it should be respected. He was willing to do a test right after the fight as well, so to think he is somehow scared of Mayweather or the test is fairly ludicrous.

Listening to Roger and the rest of the Mayweather clan talk about Pacquiao being on some "secret drug the Phillipino military uses to walk through bullets"" etc. shows you where the true fear lies. If this fight does not get made, it is because Mayweather somewhere along the line (I think the Judah fight where he was getting it for the first 5 rounds) lost his supreme confidence. Look at his performance vs De La Hoya. Even against Hatton before the KO. I expect Floyd to walk through Mosley (a fight he conveniently takes after Mosley has been inactive for 16 months) but I don't expect Floyd to ever take on Pacquiao. As long as he can play the steroid card and make ridiculous demands outside of his own sporting sanctions he will avoid the fight. And the saddest part is the sheep that eat it up and allow him to do so.

Good thread. Green K for not being biased.

[Gutz]

idiots supporting other idiots...hahaha. pacthetic

Oh the irony...

[Pacquiao'd]

Its funny how they green K themselves all day and even if you put a negative opinion they send you a red K. The T.S. was one sided on the whole topic

for real.............

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Wow TS got destroyed........

[F l i c k e r]

Yeah? In what way?

1. Pacquiao has taken on tougher opponents.

2. Athletes have been beating olympic drug testing for years.

3. No boxer is bigger than the sanctioning bodies.

4. Mayweather and his family are obviously impressed with Pacquiao's accomplishments to the point they think he "HAS" to be on something.

5. Legends like the guy in my av would never ***** out, steroids or not. They had an extreme self belief and would of taken the fight regardless.

6. Floyd's offense has diminished greatly in the last 5 years.

7. Pacquiao is the star of boxing, not Mayweather, and also #1 P4P. Mayweather should want to beat him.

Name one undefeated, technical defensive counter-puncher with timing and reflex rivaled only by Whitaker and prime Rjj that is alive and better than Mayweather?


You can't say your unbiased. Your replies to other people's replies show that you are biased as fuck.
