Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Still Thinks Mayweather is "Scared To Fight"

[trainhard_187]

The only reason that Pacquiao is begging for 50/50 so hard is because he knows he doesn't deserve that.

Pac had his chance at 50/50, 14 days. Instead, he fought an African in Texas.

Get outta here with that crap.. Doesnt deserve it. Obviously you dont think he deserves it...

Put up a poll nationwide that ask "who gives you more **** for your buck?" and that poll would have Pacman winning by a land slide.. Americans will pay to see Pacman, even Pacman haters will pay to see Pacman because he is entertaining..

This fight is fair at 50-50 because people want to see both fighters not just one, BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER..

Drug test issues are over, this is the new roadblock Floyd put up.. Demanding the bigger share....

Your just acting ****** or you are.

"Clearly", "basically", I challenge anyone on here to go back and find what this double talker is implying I said....spare me. Your like Al Sharpton in here...talking alot but not saying anything and making up facts.
Your a poor representation for your people so stop it.

I find it quite laughable that you're presuming to know who I'am by trying to throw me in a minority group you don't even know I belong in. Let me guess, judging by my screen name you automatically label me as an african american. It really shows your level of ignorance.

I said money does not equate to intelligence and you change it to education does not equate to intelligence....Go stand on a soap box in your predominately "whatever hood" and preach but it dont work this way or to anyone paying attention.

Sigh... I guess I'm gonna have to refresh your brain since you've already forgotten what you said just a couple of posts ago.

IF you felt that statement was an implication that "Filipinos were ******" then you only proved one thing. Your part of the so called smaller percentage of dumb ones.
The statement was meant to say Filipinos favor Pac, not that they are dumb.

As far as your "percentage check" on intellegence levels...that is funny because well paying jobs or careers dont neccessarily prove intellect levels but you rant on.

Oh would you look at that. Jobs or CAREERS. How does one person normally achieve a career? Oh yeah that's right... by going to college and getting an education.

Mobster has money- Not smart but ruthless
Many rappers can barely speak proper english- yet they are rich
Drug dealers - money but again ruthless and not educated
Many boxers (Tyson) Millionaires - not exactly the sharpest
MMA fighters- alot of money again not the smartest
Many businesses place family in high postions that are not even qualified -again not the smartest just connected
Same with Politicians....I can go on and on...so Save it.

Oh? And what percentage of the population are the people you just named? Less than .25%? Where discussing general people with successful jobs and careers. But I guess since these select few groups of people support your so called argument, you're just gonna throw them out there right?

The point still remains the same. In the general population of our country, the educated people are mostly the ones occupying jobs/careers. And well paying jobs and careers usually requires some degree of higher education. And higher education denotes intelligence.

I'm not gonna lie though, I almost scoffed when you put the term "mobsters" LOL I almost felt like we're in the 40's or something.

Floyd is actually faster than Manny. Definitely as the fight goes on. Manny get's slow and sloppy as the fight goes on whereas Floyd actually gets sharper while maintaining his speed.

Manny and Floyd are both sharp .... but Manny does NOT slow down as you say. Actually Manny throws way more punches than Floyd so not sure where you get that Manny slows down. Floyd pot shots more, Manny throws more combos.

[trainhard_187]

The bottom line is this..

FLOYD VS. PAC will do an estimated over 2-3 mill PPVs.

FLOYD vs. S. Maritinez prob not even 1 mil
Pac vs. Margarito Prob not over 700K

Both fighters need each other to produce the biggest fight in history....

If you cant see this then your definitely just a hater and biased towards Floyd or Pac...

Because needles are scarier than *******?

I'm not one of those that clings to a fighter's nuts like some 'fans'. I'm a true fan of the sport and I look at things objectively, even though I don't care personally for Mayweather's ****-talking or his lackluster (but extremely effective) fighting style.

I just don't see how he deals with A) the southpaw stance which has always caused him to be off balance B) The speed, power, aggression of Pac C) The random and untimeable/unforseeable angles he throws punches from.

And like Freddie Roach, Money's legs are gone, or at the least he's become a lot less mobile than he was in his lightweight days, so how the hell is he going to keep Pac off him? A jab? Pac would eat those like Eminem's and look to aggressively counter whenever he opened up to throw anything.

I have a feeling it would look a whole lot like the De La Hoya (Pac was the 2-1 underdog, odds were 9-1 that he'd win by KO/TKO) and Clottey fights. I think Floyd's camp has that same feeling, especially Sr.

Blah, don't believe for a second Roach's assessment of Floyd's legs lol. Roach doesn't even believe that. I wonder if he's going blind with age. Did he not see Floyd countering Shane's jab? Everyone makes a big deal about the 3 right hands he took from Shane but disregard everything else after. He simply choose to be aggressive and move forward on Shane. Floyd moved plenty when he wanted to and he was fast and out of reach before Mosley could do anything. Also everybody talks about Pac's offense and southpaw stance which is troubling but what about his defense against Floyd? As he showed against Mosley (who by the way has never been KOed) that Floyd can indeed hit with power, had Mosley not held or had Bayless break it up a few times he probably would have been stopped. He throws more than a jab my friend. He has the check left hook, uppercuts and the right hand cross that Manny has absolutely no answer for. Roach's only hope, wish and a prayer is that Floyd won't use his footwork. Every last one of Manny's fights since he became top dog (that's anything after his 2nd fight with JMM) has been against ****ers and brawlers who stand and trade like fools or are too slow to counter or react to manny's angles. But as JMM showed TWICE before he can be countered over and over again and as Clottey also showed when he decided to throw a punch Manny is open. People say that Manny has improved and he has but against counter-punchers and movers? I don't think so. It's been 2 years since his struggle against JMM and you mean to tell me he's improved that dramatically to beat Floyd who can do everything better than JMM can and is taller, hits harder with reach advantage and is much faster than JMM and on par with Manny in hand/foot speed himself? I don't think so. He hasn't faced anyone with those attributes since his jump in weight and if you watch that Clottey fight Manny wasn't exactly dazzling around the ring with movement was he? And since we (Roach) like to make assessments based off how someone fought a particular opponent we can do the same to Manny as well. Maybe that's because Manny didn't need to move but my point is just as you say Floyd hasn't faced a fighter like Manny, I can say that we haven't seen Manny face a fighter with speed anywhere close to Floyd's. C'mon when has Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Diaz or anyone else for that matter been known as speed demons? But we can say that we have seen Floyd in the ring with opponents with speed close to himself can't we? And one of them was a southpaw, so we know that Floyd's not perfect. But everybody seems to think that Pac's offense is unstoppable and that he can walk threw anything including the kitchen sink. That is just plain foolishness at its best. But its ok though, go right on and keep believe Roach's comments about Floyd's legs lol. Of course you could say that he knows boxing much better than I do which is true lol. But what is he supposed to say? Especially when he himself didn't think Floyd would stand and trade with Mosley. Like I said before, that is his hope, wish and prayer that Floyd lost his legs. He knows perfectly well and has say so on many occasions how difficult of a fight this will be. Even if his assessment is true the Floyd that Manny would face will still be a much tougher fight for him then JMM ever was, improved Manny or not.

Can you believe the comparisons on here? LOL!

Fighter of the Year recipients:

2000: Felix Trinidad
2001: Bernard Hopkins
2002: Vernon Forrest
2003: James Toney (2)
2004: Glen Johnson
2005: Ricky Hatton
2006: Manny Pacquiao
2007: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (2)
2008: Manny Pacquiao (2)
2009: Manny Pacquiao (3)

Manny was fighter of the year 3 times in the last ten years.

Pacquiao should have beet FOTY in 2003 as well. I like Toney but Pacquiao's win over MAB, who at the time was regarded as the 3rd or 4th best p4p fighter in the world while pacquiao wasn't even in the top 20, is more impressive than Toney's victories over Jirov (solid win) and Holyfield (shot evander who couldn't even really fight back). So in reality he should have been FOTY 4 times in the decade which would have accounted for nearly half of the decade.

Manny and Floyd are both sharp .... but Manny does NOT slow down as you say. Actually Manny throws way more punches than Floyd so not sure where you get that Manny slows down. Floyd pot shots more, Manny throws more combos.

Manny throws a lot of punches against fighters on the retreat. Let's see what happens if he gets the nerve to sign for this fight. Manny will be very hesitant to throw punches against someone that will constantly make him pay. Manny get's very slow as the fight goes on and swings wide while jumping in. When he does that against the most accurate fighter in boxing he will pay dearly. He will quit like Duran did or his corner will stop this fight. PBF by KO within 8.

[slickfox]

how come you never see floyd accusing pacquiao of being scared.....?because only insecure fighters need to talk like that during negotiations
