I like the old guy right in front of Pac. It's like he thinks the extra momentum is delayed and is expecting Pac to crash into him eventually. Either that or he's trying to hold Pac in his arms but his old legs won't bring him into the ring.

I really feel for Manny. I can't stand the pactard irrational invincibility logic, but a bunch of pseudo-Pacquiao fans who used to cheer for him are now talking shit. Nothing has changed. Manny is what he always was -- an aggressive fighter with good hand and foot speed, who puts a lot into his punches, but makes lots of mistakes. When he was a bit younger he could get away with more of them, but he has never looked good against elite technical fighters.
Manny needs a tune up or two to look good in the ring. He should fight Berto next. Berto is a good match-up being a former champ. They're both coming off losses and Manny would knock him out. Then a second fight could be Malignaggi or Guerrero. I'd prefer Paulie because I'm not sure he would look good against the Ghost and has a real chance of losing that fight. He would win a belt and then could fight Floyd. Convincing wins would put as much of the shine back on the Mayweather fight as is possible increasing the take by 10s of millions. The split right now is probably closer to 80/20 than 50/50. He will lose to Floyd just as he would have at any point in time. After the Mayweather loss he can finally wrap it up with Marquez V. He and Marquez put on a great show everytime and both have a chance to win. He should not do Marquez V before Mayweather because he never looks good against Marquez. |

It is a shame to be considered pound for pound the best by being a coward.
Floyd should of have fought Pac but instead, he waited for other to do what he should have done. Is this the way to consider a boxer pound for pound the best ? even when he avoids the toughest challenges and expects the best to lose without facing them ? If he wants to be respected he should fight Martinez instead of expecting other opponent to defeat him. What is your opinion on this ? Is Floyd a coward or not ? |

It should be pretty evident by now that Bob Arum never had any intention of putting Pacquiao in the ring against Mayweather.
Saturday night was Exhibit A as to why.... If you think that right hand was nasty, that's something Pacquiao would eat all night against Mayweather. Fight is and always has been a mismatch. Pacquiao would have nothing more than a puncher's chance. The idea that he would manhandle Mayweather is not based on reality, just Pactard/Floyd-hater fairy tales and dreams. |

Floyd has faced and beaten just about everyone Pacquiao has (the ones considered great, that is), and he often fights them before Pacuiao does, yet he still hasn't challenged himself, according to you.
Pacquiao fan logic at its finest. |

Mayweather is the best h2h but p4p #1 should be Marquez, Mayweather hasnt fought in a long time and no one has a better win than Marquez right now since Wards last fight was agains Dawson out of the SMW division
