Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios: Mayweather Too Smart, Beats Pacquiao

[sterilizer]

Finally somebody makes sense on here

I'm referring to the quote below, the JMM vs. Mayweather part.

Most people seem to ignore the fact that Marquez had to move up two divisions, came in to the fight in poor shape, very soft, slow and weak, and Mayweather was overweight on the scale, paid a fine, and then on fight night he looked easily at least 10 pounds heavier than JMM, and he looked ripped and in perfect shape compared to Marquez, who looked his worst ever in a boxing fight.

So that's the only case where Mayweather "did better" than Pacquiao, against a common opponent. All other cases, Pacquiao put his opponent to shame whereas Mayweather had trouble with them at some points in the fight, specially with Mosley and Cotto, not to mention that many people believe he actually lost to De la Hoya, whereas Manny put the Golden Boy to shame, he beat him up so badly, he just couldn't come out from his corner any more and keep fighting. Manny also put Cotto to shame, and made Mosley look cowardly and run away from him all fight, after he was knocked down, at which point he felt Manny's power and speed and decided to just stay away from him. That's the ONLY time I remember Mosley acting cowardly and running away from his opponent all night, I mean he even traded all night with Canelo, a much younger, heavier and stronger fighter than both Floyd and Manny!

Bottom line, finally somebody made sense!

You are one of the handful of deranged matwesther fans who feel that pacquiao didn't school Bradley in both fights. Yes the second fight was closer, but even Bradley admitted pacquiao beat him and also hurt him really bad. He was the aggressor throughout, landed the harder shots, and also landed more shots and power shots. Again the first fight he outlanded Bradley almost 2 to 1, however the second fight it was still by a considerable margin. You can't give victory to someone who fights on their back foot the whole fight, lands less punches, and lands the less powerful punches. Also 10 fighters have said mayweather wins? Your crazy name these ten fighters. Bradley said it was 50/50 as did de la Hoya. Most boxing people say its 50/50 with a slight edge to mayweather because of his 0 loss. How can you bet against someone who has never lost? Well that's easy because mannys style is all wrong for him and also Manny has beaten the common opponents they have faced way worse with the exception of Marquez who had to come up 2 divisions in weight for the first time to fight mayweather who came in overweight. Also pacquiao had already beaten Marquez twice at that point, which is far more impressive than mayweather beating him while moving up 2 divisions. Even Floyd knows he cannot beat Manny pacquiao, hence why he has been doing the Forrest Gump for years from him.

"Floyd beat JMM by a landslide."

True. But you are ignoring the circumstances under which that happened, which I already mentioned in the previous post of mine.

What if we turned the table around?

Imagine the huge Hulkquez who may or may not have been using PEDs, fighting a Floyd just coming up from lightweight, four pounds lighter than JMM on the scale, and 10+ pounds lighter than JMM on fight night.

JMM at his best, muscularly speaking, and Floyd at his worst, all bloated up with evident body fat, soft and much slower and weaker than in his previous fight, two divisions lighter.

I know YOU won't imagine that. But people who aren't biased Floyd fans (not necessarily Manny fans though) can and would. Just some food for thought.

Floyd is the greatest defensive fighter of ths era, no doubt, but that fight vs. JMM was a total sham. JMM fought under all sorts of unfair disadvantages simply because he couldn't refuse the biggest pay day of his life. Simple as that.

It's true that Manny fought all those guys after Floyd, and that they all may have been in a worse shape than they were when they fought Floyd. I won't argue with that. But the fact remains, Pac put all those guys to shame, including the very JMM in the last fight, just before the brutal knock out. Who of all those has Floyd beaten as convincingly as Pac did?
