Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: There is No Doubt Mayweather Beats Pacquiao

[Tomislav III]

The fight wouldn't even be close.

That's not a compliment to Fraud, because he's overrated and easy to beat.

Its a realistic look at how easy it is for any boxer with average footwork and boxing ability to expose Pacroid.

I don't know how good Mayweather's feet are anymore. He doesn't move like he used to and I think that there is something to what Roach says about his legs not being underneath him as much.

Because the Pacquaio hype machine is in overdrive, people seem to have forgotten that he's looked very ordinary at times

He was like 18 or 20.

Please.

Cotto, Clottey and Margarito all touched Pac up with ease at
certain times and now Pac fans are talking about Floyd won't
be able to handle Pac's pressure? Mayweather is the most
accurate and defensive fighter in the sport. Clottey had Pac
touched up and he wasn't even trying and now Pac fans are
trying to persuade everyone that Pac is Floyd's worst nightmare?
Ha ha ha ha ha! All you have to do is wait and time Pac and he
is done in. Floyd ate Mosley best punches back to back and still
came on strong towards the end of the round and dominated
the rest of the fight. Pac punches causes pain by accumulation.
No way Pac gets off all them punches on Floyd because the
countering would be overwhelming. Not too confident about
Pac winning considering his own trainer said Mayweather is
so different from all of Pac's opponents and in the beginning
that Manny may need a catchweight to fight Floyd to give
any advantages to Pac.

Pac fans need to stop ignoring the truth and just roll with it.
How can Pac fans still think Floyd was the reason the fight
didn't and is not happening when at the end of the day Manny
walked away from the first negotiations and recently told Amir
Kahn that he is not mentally ready for the tests? Pac fans have
got to be the most ignorant and hateful fans on the planet. Roach
and Arum have been telling us fans exactly how they feel and
what their about and it is not having our best interest in mind
when it comes to making fights. Pac fans need to stop with
this "Manny is the greatest" crap because he ain't even fighting
a guy with a different style to match his or displays any kind of
defense whatsoever. Manny was carefully maneuvered to become
this hugesuperstar and while that is great for boxing media wise,
in the same breath it's not good for the sport because Manny
ain't figthing the best challenges. I honestly believe if this fight
between them happens, the shut out Pac will receive will
make even Pac fans belittle Pac to make Floyd look like the
win wasn't that great.

I mean, Floyd hasn't takened much damage and still should be
able to move. I just think he wanted to make a statement with
Mosley because everyone said he would pot shot and win, so he
stayed in the pocket and pushed Mosley around. That's why he
ate them big right hands. Floyd can fight any style and adjust
at any given time. Pacquiao cannot. People say Pac has improved
but how can we know for sure when all he has fought was fighters
tailor made for him? I think there is enough evidence from Arum
and Roach that show they are not as confident about Pac chances
at beating Mayweather as his fans are.

Please.

He was in his mid-20s when he lost to a washed up Morales and late 20s when he lost, yes lost his rematch to JMM. And 20 or not, how do you disregard a loss when he was the world champion heading into the fight?

Baldomir's welterweight title lineage could be traced back to the Forrest-Mosley fights, or even the Mosley-de la Hoya fight depending on who you ask.

Margarito's title was won vacant in a fight with Antonio Diaz.

I think its safe to say the Mosley, Forrest, Mayorga, Spinks, Judah, Baldomir, Mayweather title lineage more reflects what was generally seen as the legitimate welterweight title than Margarito beats Diaz for vacant belt.

Because the Pacquaio hype machine is in overdrive, people seem to have forgotten that he's looked very ordinary at times, against fighters not nearly as good as Mayweather. Since Pac is foreign, his fans like to dismiss some of his loses like they were fought early in his career. He was KO'd when he lost his flyweight title. He lost to Morales and had the close calls with JMM when he was an established P4P elite. Hell, if not for point deductions, he would have lost a decision to Agepito Sanchez. So this guy isn't superman. And I think that's why most fighters and those who know boxing pick Mayweather to beat him.

Indeed.....................................

Mayweather is just like B-Hop and Toney in that as he's gotten older, he moves less. He makes people miss or in the pocket moreso than simply moving away from them. Not to say he can't use his legs, he just doesn't as much nowsadays. That said, he's actually being hit at a lower connect percentage as a welterweight than he was as a lightweight. Now, that has a lot to do with him not being as offensive minded as he was back in the day. But, he's just as, if not more effective defensive now than he was earlier in his career.

mayweather is not beating pacquiao. He likes to control the pace of fights and is quicker than everyone he has not got that luxury against pac.
