Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Pacquiao is Easy Money For Mayweather

[rasdun]

I appreciate Floyd and Manny's time in the sport. They've brought us great fights, but their time is almost up. They should be ashamed of themselves. We missed out on one of the greatest potential fights in history.

So true. Plenty of blame around. But Floyd Mayweather obviously doesn't agree with what Hopkins said. If he did, he be calling out Pacquiao and attempting to make the fight, instead of continuing to come up with excuses, such as not being able to work with top rank. If it was " easy work" he would make the fight, because there is still no doubt that it would do tremendous pay-per-view sales

In my opinion, Hopkins is a racist, at least toward white people.

The famous "I will never let a WB beat me" is pure discrimination and racism. period

That's sad but that's a fact, he was serious about it and he meant it, and he did repeat it at least 6 times.
And his history and life is not an excuse AT ALL for that kind of narrow minded comments. I don't trust this guy and he's not smart as he think he's.

true. when bernard talks, he always remind me of samuel jackson's character in Die Hard 2

[rasdun]

No he wasn't stereotyping lmao you seem hungry you want a bottle with piss in it?

I'm Gambler and stax and dunn and 2 other floyd fans as well. I wish you guys would make up your minds as to which poster you accusse me of being just because I'm new and I'm a floyd fan.

Your anger should be directed at Roach. He blamed Manny and Bob!

What did roach say? And when? Bc its obvioys mayweather and arum are both to blame

Floyd knocked out someone more recent than Pacquiao, I don't care how he did it but he knocked him the hell out. Also I was not commenting on the punching power difference between Mayweather and Pacquiao, I was talking about Pacquiao power in relation to Chino's and how his power wouldn't be a challenge to Mayweather in the slightest, as he's not hurting anybody and Mayweather shows he has an A+ chin. Also Pacquiao is not 5x faster, at this point he's probably not even faster than Chino. Bradley was beating Pacquiao to the punch which had Pacquiao backing up and moving, and he still was getting caught by slow telegraphed shots, getting hurt by a powder puncher in Bradley which validates Pacquiao's D- chin.

Pacquiao always fights swarmers that come forward and isn't as fast as him. That's why they get bruised but you wasn't saying that when Canelo and Guerrero face's were beat the hell up. Mayweather fought more fighters in their prime and champions than Pacquiao who been getting fake championships out of a cereal box. Chino and Marquez throw that same over hand right and Chino is quicker than Marquez AS well as having a better jab. Marquez set traps but so do Chino and fighters that set traps destroy Pacquiao. Mayweather is the best at it.. There's no way Pacquiao beats Mayweather as he is pretty orthodox and never improved.

I stopped reading at pacquiaos probably not even faster than Chino...ok...lol

And who??What P4P fighters in their prime Mayweather fought and not at a catchweight??
I'm waiting...

I can't say at least Bradley twice and Barrera (the first fight) for Manny.

[rasdun]

Ok, that makes sense. You made it sound like he only blamed manny and arum.

he did. I blame all parties.

[djtmal]

I blame all parties too but damn when it comes to the fighters, the little dude always says I want da fight. Floyd? Well uh, I will let the floyd naysayers handle that one. Lol

this post nailed it right on the head. pac is past his prime and so is mayweather. Pac just smiles and mayweather changes the subject and talks about his money and how "comfortable" he is, when either is asked why they aren't fighting each other or something to that effect. Lets just call a spade a spade. Boxing isn't about being challenged anymore its about putting on a "show" and then claiming your the best and try to debate why you are the best with out actually fighting. Pac and mayweather are both *****es for not making this fight happen. It doesn't matter who needs who more or who is the bigger draw or who has more money. Its a ****ing sport and neither of these guys stepped up to the biggest challenge of their career. It doesn't matter how many bi-curios philipinos pac has in his entourage or how many cars may can pull out of his garage. When they had the chance to prove who was the best, these guys chose not to settle it in the ring. Mayweathers TBE hat is a ****in joke. unless he is referring to something other then boxing. maybe he's referring to talking about himself in the third person. He is certainly plenty good for that, regardless of how ridiculous it sounds. Both of these guys will have tarnished legacies down the road for not making that fight happen and rightfully so. Boxing is all about risk, not risk vs reward. At this level, these guys make plenty of money, there has to be a point where its about the sport, not just about business. Unfortunately thats not the case in modern boxing, and both of their legacies, as well as boxings legacy, for this era, will suffer. At some point, fans will have had enough of the reality show side of the sport, and wanna actually see people fight the fights that need to be made. Mayweather will be as much known for his kardashian-like approach to boxing as he was for skills. At some point, the public will have had enough of the side show, and all of the **** riders will act like they never participated in it. AT least Pac has actually fought a true P4P top ten lately in bradley. Who has may fought that was a true lb for lb top ten lately? Nobody. He thinks people really buy into the bull**** side stories that are supposed to make fights interesting. No real fans gave a **** that Maidana had a belt, but mayweather tried to jam the champ vs a champ bull**** down everyones throat to cover for that fact that he was fighting a 12-1 underdog. I love boxing and ill keep watching, but the true boxing fans are not fooled. The guys who are supposed to be the best, are not fighting the best fights. period, end of story.

He is right though. It's just two guys way past their prime fighting each other but still good enough to be among the top 3 P4P. Still a HUGE PPV though. Right now it's a 55-45 fight favoring Floyd. It used to be an unstoppable force (Pac) vs. the immovable object (Floyd). Now it's just a guy who might get KO'ed anytime (Pac) vs. a crybaby businessman who believes every boxer should be wearing Grants.
