So Manny Pacquiao won't take risk...tell me when has he ever taken one?

No it's not. Arum would love to feed manny to crawford and pass the ppv torch on.

 

pac not taking risks at this point will prove he is just after the money and is hurting the sport. if he still wants to fight then he should take the risk as an atg that he is and see if he can still continue or time to stop fighting and let new fighters take charge of the sport.

 

Yea those Barrera, Morales and Marquez fights never happened.

 

They did happen, but now that he blatantly threw the fight with Mayweather,those fights don't have any value.

 

Agreed.. Pac is a warrior and has always fought bigger guys. having said that, Bradley 3 and now Vargas? what a joke

 

Pac is a warrior: except when he fought Mayweather...because he's so dumb he doesn't know to sidestep or jab the body after a whole lifetime of fighting. I guess the money got to Mannys head.

 

Pac is so dumb? really?
He is one of the best to ever lace them up. Pac vs May was way past their primes. Pac was injuried and neither guy landed anything meaningful. It was a boring chess match. Floyd wouldn't engage and Pac was at a huge reach disadvantage. What I didn't see was Pac being "dumb"

 

I can't believe so many people are so bent out of shape about this fight. Let pac retire with a win under his belt. The Crawford fight is too risky and he has nothing to prove at this stage let him go out on top and call it a day. The only thing I don't like about it is that it will be on ppv other than that it's fine with me.

Word? You must be some kind of Yoda or sorcerer to have such knowledge of sidestepping or jabbing the body.

 

Not having these "advantages" wouldnt have made much of a difference. Same with Mayweathers "advantages". Their fights where they had these "advantages" werent even close.

P.S. Margo was way too slow to have a much of a chance against Floyd. Fighting Mosley and Oscar around 2000-2004 is a different story.

 

Reach advantage is an excuse. If you're the shorter it just means you're supposed to get within range by being the more aggressive fighter. It was a boring chessmatch because that's Floyds game, not mannys. So yes, pacman was being DUMB that night by respecting his opponent wayyyy too much.

 

WORD. Yoda knows NOT to walk forward into a straight right by Floyd. Why not sidestep laterally and attack the body to reduce Floyds speed/stamina. Peck away with quick jabs. Notice how he tagged him once with a good jab to the head. Why not cut the ring with good footwork so Floyd can't "run"?

 

Too many trolls and fanboys dont know their history. Dude took on prime Ledwaba on short notice and was a 7 to 10 to one underdog in his first U.S. fight.

He fought prime MAB as a 3-1 underdog in Texas.

Half the guys ripping him weren't born when these fights happened, so it's understandable they may not remember. People forget Floyds lower weight accomplishments, too.

 

I watched both fighters whole careers. Pacman always lacked fundamental defense and effective footwork and body attack. That's why some Thai boxer ko him with a body punch...that's also why morales humiliated him in their first fight.
Now Floyds always been great, BUT he almost lost against mosley when he got caught with that hook...and cotto also used the jab effectively enough to bust floyd lip so although he's undefeated there's always a way he can lose....just don't let up on him or let him box.

Look what Hagler did to Hearns, for example.

 

LOL, he/his team wanted nothing to do with Marquez for the 4 years between I and II and the 4 years between II and III. The only reason rematches ever occurred were because Roach and Arum thought Marquez was finally old enough for Pacquiao to actually secure a clear win for once, especially since he was being dragged up in weight, and because he was the most lucrative opponent available (well, there was Floyd, but Bob rightly didn't want that fight for years).
