Comments Thread For: Atlas: Pacquiao Has a Tougher Fight Than Mayweather

[SincereDaGreat]

Even Atlas, who is a known Pacquiao Hater is spitting that real talk. Ortiz is a walking punching bag with no heart (inside the ring, not outside). Marquez is a first ballot HOFer with heart.

But one thing is that Floyd almost got KTFO by a 16 month inactive Mosley who got completely destroyed by Pacquiao and Floyd will be 16 months inactive on fight night.

My prediction, Pacquiao KO's Marquez and Ortiz KTFO outta Floyd.

So Mayweather wasn't coming off a lay off too? And if Ortiz doesn't have heart then u must apply that same logic to Duran right??? Two totally different fighter but quitting is quitting right? "NO MAS".....

Why would it be sad? Manny's aggressive. When you have a well schooled counter puncher with lots of heart in front of you you can't just walk through him. Floyd had a huge size advantage and was fresh as hell. Floyd pulls away instead of engaging. 2 totally different styles you fool.

exactly. Some either likes to act like a noob to boxing, or act like a troll. Or mabye both? I dunno.

thats sad if he give manny a tough fight at ww..that would tell a HUGE story

If Manny is troubled by the guy that Floyd wiped his a$s with, then Pac****** might want to avoid this site on Nov 13th.

OSCAR was drained,but PBF avoided the rematch with OSCAR at that weight,DON'T FORGET IT!!!
MANNY took it and destroyed him!!!

What the hell??? Floyd fought Oscar at a weight he chose you goddamn dimwitt.
With larger gloves so Floyd being the smaller man could do less damage. etc.

How do you avoid someone who 's ass you just literally kicked?? That fight wasnt close at all. If Oscar was doing so much damage, Floyd should have been busted up pretty badly seeing he was the smaller man, and had never fought at that weight class.

STOP BEING ******ED YOU PEASANT.... YOU SIMPLY GOTTA BE LIVING ON AN ISLAND WHERE NUCLEAR TESTING WAS DONE NEARBY.....

How can you think Marquez is stylistically a tough fight for Pacquiao, and then say Pacquiao beats Mayweather. Don't get it. Isn't Mayweather an even better counter puncher/defensive fighter?

[boxingfan76]

they both have tough fights,jmm out landed pac 2 fights in a row, most likley pac wins because hes bigger and younger, but to all the idiots saying it will be easy hell naw! pac will eat more punches than jmm will even in victory just like the last 2 times. pac ate 12 more punches the 1st fight then 30 the 2nd fight , thats a hell of a disparity and pac didnt deserve the decision at all the second fight.pac fights the exact same only difference is hes a true welerweight now,guy ate 230 of margs punches that alone will tell his skills arent any better or margs deserves a lot more credit than he gets!both should be sick wars especially the mayweather fight.

how does he pick tougher foes??floyd fought this guy 2 years ago..do ya'll even think before typing?

You're missing the point. Just because Pacquiao wins doesn't mean that his fight wasn't tougher than Mayweather's.

You're thinking in terms of who is taking on the greater challenge. Factually that would be Mayweather according to his opponents' rank and standing at the time in which he fought them. But that's a completely different topic.

In actuality, what's being discussed here is who has to work harder to win their fights: Mayweather or Pacquiao.

Mayweather, against even the the most difficult opponent, keeps his composure, expends little energy and outclasses his opponents at his own pace.

Pacquiao has to waste incredible amounts of energy to compete at the top level because he lacks elite boxing skills. Pacquiao gets by on a high workrate, not superior boxing skills. He gets hit A LOT. He misses A LOT.

And what non-fans called "running all night" was Shane Mosley sticking and moving, which has been a part of the game since the beginning. Shane showed that unless you are willing to stand and trade, Manny has no answers. That's why Manny has a tough time with boxers who have skills. They don't have to stand and trade. They can actually BOX! Watch the first Morales fight!

Boxers like Pacquiao will always have to try harder because they have no other tools to work with. They swarm and try to overwhelm because if they allow their opponents to make it a boxing match they know they could get into real trouble.

Just ask Marquez.

No im not missing the point I understand completely whatyou and Atlas are trying to say I just disagree. I feel Pacquiao is going to blitz Marquez and make it look easy while Mayweather will havea couple shaky rounds early before he completely takes over and dominates.

Ortiz a Slim chance of beating Floyd... Marquez WAS NEVER A THREAT TO FLOYD PERIOD...... Dont tell me you thought Marquez had a chance against Floyd... If so, shoot yourself..

FLOYD TAILORS HIS UNDEFEATED RECORD TOWARDS FIGHTERS HE CAN BEAT. STOP DRINKING THE FLOYD KOOL-AID AND WAKE UP...

Your never gonna see Floyd put his skills to the test against tough opposition.. Why the hell do you think he hasnt fought Pac yet and accused him of PED's?

He dont want to fight Pacman nor will Floyd fight Martinez or any other tough opponent..

Expect Floyd to chase down another Light Welterweight in Amir Khan.. Floyd fishing for young fighters down south moving to his weightclass..
