This is what the TS is talking about. Pac can fight the 140 pounders, while Floyd needs to fight one of the two best guys at 154 and 160. And that isn't a double standard??????
thats a stupid ****ing arguementClottey is a big strong welter who stood in a defensive stance with his gloves held high. Pac hit the only target that was available. What should he have done? Asked Clottey to politely go out of his defensive shell so that he can hit him in the face????? Obviously some of you idiots dont know ****
the point stays. people (floyd fan mostly) are bashing pacquiao for catchweight fight yet he has only one official catchweight fight and forget that floyd has one against jmm. it was even worse when people are led to believe that jmm has some sort of a opportunity since floyd will work for that extra 3 pounds to shed off. and yes it's easier to come-up in weight theoretically but how about during fight time? getting up in the weight is easy. but does the weight you did put on has purpose or just to get into weight and makes you bloated?
Are you serious? It was like watching Pacquiao on a heavy bag with legs for 12 rounds... as boring as Khan - Paulie! The Floyd - Mosley fight was entertaining. There was drama, flush shots and some good sweet science of boxing that night. Yeah Floyd is slower, quite a bit too. But he's got brain, and his timing can neutrilise Manny's speed.
:|:| I'm not blaming Pacquiao; I'm just arguing over what fight was better. Some idiots here are trying to say that the Pac/Clottey fight was better than Mayweather/Mosley. That's my beef
I don't know what people are looking at, but Floyd still looks quick as a cat to me unless your comparing him to his days at 130.
He is not getting a pass from those who dont want to give him one its that simple but also another way to look at it is, Fighters do not have to do something they are not all that crazy about in order to make a mega fight happen, sometimes fighters can say no sure it sucks but its their right.. Manny agreed to the fight so its not like he doesnt want it, perhaps there is something regarding taking blood and even if it has little to no effect manny mentally beleives it does have an effect so if he is not up for the type of testing Floyd wants to have conducted then he isnt up for it.... Manny should ask for both fighters to use reyes gloves and a smaller ring to sort of balance out the playing field
20%, he also threw over 1200. Pac not only landed more punches on Clottey than Mayweather landed on Mosley, but he also outlanded Clottey by a bigger margin than Mayweather did Mosley, both in number of punches and in percentage. Once again that's without taking into account all the punches that he landed on Clottey guard. So even though you think Pacquiao did nothing but land punches on Clottey's guard, that's not the case.
20% seems a little high from what I remember. Pac was probably getting credit for glove-shots that would snap Clottey's head back a little. Either way, yes, I'm in full agreement with you that Pacquiao was dominant over Clottey. And Cotto. And Hatton. And DLH.
this post could not become even be more bias for floyd. it basically shouts "i love you money mayweather!"
+1, I didn't buy the fraud in Dallas and I'm not buying anymore of this idiots fights if he dodges the beating he has earned.
what a joke pacs 5 opponents were handpicked!! You can only say that through hindsight, no one said hatton delohoya and cotto would be walks in the park. this what i mean about revisioinist, biased fans. And u point out all the flaws and advantages pac had in fights yet u dont claim any of floyds advantages in his fights which shoiws that u are a biased clown. let me tell u floyds advantages- marquez- u failed to say that he was made to move up 2 weights and floyd cheated against a lightweigh. hatton- u forgot to mention that floyd made hatton move up where we know was not his ideal weight and used xycolane on his hands. mosley-made him wear grant not reyes taking away his best assets. If u going to compare their 5 last fights do it right and dont sound like a biased peice of ****.
