Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Turns His Back on Mayweather Fight, For Now

[al-Xander]

Pacquiao needs to leave Arum and join TMT,
then avenge his loses. What tf happened to the
"Take the test and we'll have a fight" mantra
that he and his floydiots have been incantating
for four years?

The amount of excuses is embarrassing.
You'll never see anything like it in your lifetime.
There's a solution for Mayweather -- retire ASAP
just like what Lewis did.

We watch most of his fights for free in the UK, and I don't buy fights. I couldn't care less who he fights. I don't want him to fight Pacquiao doe. No point, Pac is damage goods according to people on here, once you lose then its over, just like how Cotto losing and it was "over" for him.

Cotto didn't just lose, he was battered by plastered hands(more then likely) then beaten up badly against Manny...He wasnt shot against May weather but he wasnt at his best for sure..

[Marvellous1]

Point being he didn't fight Cotto when he was undefeated and a champion at 147 but waited until he was beaten up badly twice and wasnt at his best....

Read up on it. Mayweather wanted to fight Cotto, but Arum wouldn't agree the money or the DLH fight. You know, the same DLH who'd left him before? It wasn't about Cotto, it was about two egos that couldn't agree. Mayweather bet on himself and came out ahead.

Look, I want that Mayweather/Pacquiao fight as much as the next fan. But I don't have the tunnel vision to blame one guy for it not happening. Arum proved with Mayweather/DLH that when he doesn't want to make a fight, he won't. Mayweather did what he had to do to get it, Pacquiao didn't. He was happy to ride his gravy train until it went off the tracks rather than take matters into his own hands. I agree that Mayweather is a childish little diva and is playing games. But he's probably looking at Pacquiao and seeing where he could've ended up. Used up and in a hole for a lot of money.

Manny has been through some wars and obviously the KO loss but he is not a shot fighter. He still let's his hands go, moves around the ring effortlessly for 12 rounds and has the desire to be great. Look at Mosely vs Floyd and Manny, he couldn't punch anymore, he was spent after 2 rounds against Floyd....Thats what shot looks like....

That's still not good enough, Mayweather should only be fighting undefeated fighters, Manny got KO brutally. I don't want to see him in there against Mayweather end of, why? People would say "He waited till Pacquiao got KTFO before he stepped in the ring with him".... I remember when everyone wanted him to fight Cotto, that was before and after everyone wanted him to fight Hatton, that was before and after everyone wanted him to fight Oscar etc its recycle and boring. When Cotto finally got through his contract with Arum he had already got 2 losses but you know what? They made the fight, so instead of people looking at the positives like "Hmmm no Arum fight gets made!" They looked at "Oh Cotto got beat and now Mayweather fought him"... Am sure those same people were not saying that when Cotto was a free agent.

Now those same people are calling for Pac to fight Mayweather after get brutally KO? Nope fight is over.

Same here Pac has been brutally KO, even when he is a free agent I don't want to see that fight, why? Because Mayweather is getting younger like a fine wine whilst Pac has been in wars and KO brutally.

I agree its completely about guys with larger then life ego's but I also think that if Floyd wanted the fightmit could get made tomorrow.... I truly believe Manny will fight whoever they tell him Hes fighting and if Thats Jr then so be it.. I think if Manny had a more brash personality and called out Floyd after his fights and made a mockery of him then the fight would have happened already.

Ok so you're not a boxing fan then? You dont want to see the 2 best guys of the last 10 years? I know there are people who will never be happy with what May weather does but this fight still needs to happen regardless.

only fight undefeated fighters? That would be crazy. Look around boxing. Most of the Best fighters have a loss or two. There are lots of unproven undefeated fighters out there. Canelo was like 35-0 before he fought anyone with a pulse. And once Floyd beat him they said oh Canelo wasnt ready. Look at Wilder he is undefeated does that mean he is better than both Klitschkos? Gamboa is still undefeated but he is not considered by most anyone to be the best at 135 or 130 or 140, same goes for Bradley just to name a few.

you're debating with someone who's just parroting whatever mayweather does or says. if floyd says cotto is prime when he fought him, or if floyd says a pac fight doesnt make sense and he wont fight him, then that poster will repeat it.

[al-Xander]

Look at all the Floyd apologists in this site. They're regurgitating
the same crap over and over again. It's as if it will change people's
beliefs and perceptions that Floyd is a coward. This is not rocket
science.
