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

[| THE KING |]

Well.. too bad Floyd doesn't even believe that Oscar. He's not thinking about boxing right now. He's enjoying time with his family..

Bob Arum is a plague on the sport of Boxing. The day that he is no longer involved in the sport can not come fast enough. He thinks the sport & it's fighters exist solely to serve HIS wants & needs. You would think that someone who has been blessed with so much on behalf of the sport would be THRILLED to give back to the sport by giving the fighters & fans what they want: The best & most competitive fights for the fans, which in turn allow the fighters a traditional shot at glory & greatness. (By "traditional" I mean actually fighting the best of the best to earn your spot amongst the all-time greats.)

Cotto, Clottey and Margarito hit harder than Gayweather. You think Gayweather will ever step into the ring with any of these three? No. Because one hit from either of them will send Fraud to the canvas. If Gayweather will "for-sure" beat Pac, why hasn't Gayweather answer Pac when Pac called him out? Why is Gayweather still on vacation? All roads lead to Pacquiao now!!! The only road that Gayweather is now on will lead him straight to jail.

Alot of people hit harder than Mayweather but the fact still
remains that he hasn't been knocked out and he still holds
double digit KO's on his record and dominate punchstats.
Mayweather is on vacation because Manny didn't want
to take the blood tests. So easy for Pac fans to forget this
very important fact as to why this fight didn't happen almost
a year ago. Cotto, Clottey and Margarito all have one thing
in common "NO DEFENSE" or adjustments in the ring. Your
love for Manny is duly noted but don't over exaggerate.
The only person(s) that are scared to put Pac in the ring
with Floyd is Arum and Roach. Don't believe me, read the
quotes below.

Arum also indicated he would like Pacquiao to get through the Hatton fight before going up against Mayweather saying“I want Mayweather to stay there (in retirement) until September. The longer he’s out the more rusty he’ll be."

Freddie Roach On Mayweather/Pacquiao.
"It would have to be a catch weight, probably 143, 144 (pounds)," Roach said. "I don't think it would be at 147. But Manny's not afraid of anyone."

Freddie Roach, May 1 2009

"Mayweather is so different than our last four opponents [Cotto, Ricky Hatton, De La Hoya and David Diaz]. We have to study him really hard. But I know Mayweather really well. I just need Manny to see what I see." (Freddie Roach).

"It's not so much that I give a damn whether this fight happens -- I don't -- and for me it's not the greatest experience doing a promotion with Floyd Mayweather," Arum said. "But not to do this fight would slow down the momentum of boxing."

Pac fans have got to be kidding if they think that I will believe
that Floyd is scared of Manny Pacquiao. Seems to me that
Arum and Roach are the ones scared.

There's no doubt... except in the hearts and minds of Roger, Floyd Jr & Sr.

What a ringing endorsement, brimming with confidence

Mayweather hits a lot harder than people think. Why do you think de la Hoya and Mosley quit rushing him? Why do you think JMM stopped comign foward? Why do you think the guys like Hatton and Corrales, who kept coming foward, were KO'd. Mayweather isn't Tommy Hearns. But, he definitely hits hard enough that most of his opponents aren't willing to take 2 to land 1.

What parent in there right mind would want their child fighting someone as talented as Pacquaio when he's juiced up on roids?

Pac agreed to all their testing demands and they went AWOL. The whole OST thing was just smoke and mirrors, a bluff that was called and the real issue had nothing to do with roids or ancient mystical bullet-proofing drugs/amulets. Pac is Sr's worst nightmare for Floyd- a relentless southpaw with endless stamina, power, speed, odd angles, footwork, a great chin. Sr made it clear he wants nothing to do with Pac and he's alright with the world labeling his son a coward, as long as he doesn't set foot in the ring with Manny.

I think Mayweather is just too accurate and precise. They knew
everytime they made a move that Floyd was going to hit them on
the button.

Pacquaio did not agree to the USADA testing. They asked for a 7 day cutoff, months after Mayweather said that wasn't acceptable. Michael Kontz made us aware of this on 24/7 Pacquaio-Margarito. You either need to pay your cable bill, or accept that Pac hasn't agreed to the testing demands.

When? Who walked away from the table? I guess the tests was smoke
and mirrors when Floyd asked Mosley to take them as well? Post me an
article when they said that they agreed to everything Floyd wanted?
The only thing I read as of recent is that Manny was not mentally ready
to take the tests. Isn't it a fact that Mosley was asked to take a tests
by Roach and Mosley said cool, if Pac took one and then all of a sudden
the topic was scrapped. I wish that people would stop acting blind
to these facts. It is so frustrating and it makes smart or intellectual
people feel like it's hopeless in the world.

Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed to unlimited random urine testing, but Mayweather also insisted on random blood testing, even though the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which would oversee the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, requires only urine testing.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) didn't want blood testing but later relented and agreed to three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would have taken place next week, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

When they could not come to an agreement, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, turned to a mediator, retired judge Daniel Weinstein, who had successfully mediated a series of disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy in 2007.

But after nine hours in mediation on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., and further attempts to come to a resolution on Wednesday failed, the fight was pronounced dead by the Pacquiao camp.

Roach insisted on Mosley drug tests???

“I think he’s a tougher opponent than (Andre) Berto or (Juan Manuel) Marquez. He can punch with either hand. But if the fight pushes through, I’ll insist on a drug test. He’s been known to take steroids and it shows in his body.”

Pacquiao does not have better footwork, defense, stamina
or accuracy like Floyd and he cannot make adjustments
on the fly like Mayweather. Pac is not a threat to Floyd.
Good fight YES but threat I don't believe so.
