Defense doesn't win fights. If you study boxing history you will discover that the vast majority of ATG'S are offensive badasses. Its a fight. Not a tennis match. The object is to destroy. What did Hagler say about facing Hearns. "I will destroy him". That's exactly how most great fighters thought.
True, but prime Pacquiao wouldn't try and outbox Floyd. He would fight Floyd. Pacquiao didn't win by boxing. It makes me wonder if you actually followed his career. Pacquiao won by fighting.
Had they fought in 2009, Floyd would of beat him and you would just claim Pac fought him too early, still needed more time to get used to 147. Same type of excuses you all make for Alvarez
If they fought in 2009 they wouldn't even be Pac fans in 2010, they would of been latching on to some other guy they think could beat PBF, just like they do Golovkin right now!
"Even a 50/50 split with Mayweather is nonsense." - 5/31/09 "Mayweather knows Manny's phobia for giving blood, and he's using that to get out of the fight." - 12/23/09 "He [Pacquiao] doesn't want to do it [give blood] when he's in training, but he'll do it prior to going into training, and after the fight." - 12/23/09 "He will subject himself to three tests; one given in January during the week the fight is formally announced, one thirty days from the fight, no later than February 13, and the final one immediately following the fight, in Manny's locker room." - 12/23/09 "We'd only do it [testing] with the Nevada Athletic Commission. But for now, Manny has asked me to move on to Malignaggi." - 12/25/09 "They made the 14 day offer and Todd sent a text message to (Pacquiao's agent) Michael Koncz in the Philippines. Five minutes later, Koncz replied and said Manny rejected that." - 01/08/10 "The nurses sometimes can't find the vein. They keep poking and poking and poking and by the time they get the blood out, you can't move your arm for 3 days or 4 days." - 01/21/10 "If we decide we want to do a rematch with Marquez, there is no reason to sit down with Mayweather." - 11/14/11 "Manny needs time for that eye cut [from the Nov. 12 Marquez III bout] to heal properly." - 11/29/11 "May 5 is out for us, it can't happen, because we want to explore the idea of getting a [temporary] stadium/arena up on the streets of Las Vegas that can seat 40,000." - 01/06/12 "In order to maximize revenues from the fight, you have to have a stadium larger than the MGM Grand which holds 16,500." - 01/11/12 - Bob Arum
