    While people around Floyd have been making much noise about Floyd Mayweather Jr wanting $100 million dollars to fight Manny Pacquiao (even though there are several websites with proof that it isn’t just for one fight, but a letter of intent from Don King for a three or fight deal) Floyd and his immediate team have been silent. Recently he said in an interview on examine.com If Pac takes the test we gotta fight But if Floyd wins, these will be the 2 biggest excuses.

    1) Mayweather was waiting for Pacquiao to slow down or be tenderized by other fighters.

    That might hold some value to it, but at the same time it doesn’t. Arum has been quoted as saying that Manny makes his own decisions in whatever he does. If that’s the case then Pacquiao has the option of taking a fight or two off to rest his body and handle his congress business. BUT HE CHOOSES TO FIGHT. Nobody is putting a gun to his head and say “Fight” It’s his choice. The up side to this is he will be already prepared because he hasn’t taken time off. Mayweather could be at disadvantage somewhat. No matter how much sparring a man does, it simply doesn’t compare to a real fight. In a sparring your partner has let up off you. In a real fight, this is not the case.

    2) Mayweather was bigger than Pacquiao.

    I for one will not cater to these shenanigans. Pacquiao has been getting high praise for beating bigger men than him (Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito) So handling a bigger Mayweather shouldn’t be a problem “according to experts”. Floyd is the master of making adjustments and taking apart his opponents. He’s definitely has a long reach and height advantage and he has the SKILL to use them. He’s extremely accurate and compu-box can support this. There is no way Pacquiao will throw 1,120 punches against Floyd and not pay for at least two thirds of those with Floyd’s counter-punching ability.

    FT: I agree bigger doesn’t always mean better. It takes SKILL to use what you have whether short or tall. Anybody can fight. But guess what? No skill; then it’s useless. Pacquiao is great fighter and I refuse to try and take away his accomplishments because I can’t. But these excuses will manifest if Mayweather wins.

    This.

    People that will make excuses about this fight(for either fighter) obviously don't know as much as they think about boxing.

    Pacquiao was dehydrated and not used to the hot weather (they fought in South Africa)
    Pacquiao did not have sparring partners (Floyd got his 100 million while Pac could not afford sparring partners)

    Yay, another useless thread about May/Pac that can be just as easily spun around to favour fans of the other guy.

    You think people will cry May waited for him to slow down? If Pac wins Floyd fans will cry he was rusty, old, Pac on PED's. Goes both ways numbnuts.

    There is no excuse. He would beat him because of the obvious.

    Stylistic nightmare for Pac - quick defensive counter puncher

    I have him beating Pac in a 8-4 UD. The hype over Pac is that he has probably the most reasonable chance of beating PBF. That is why the fight is intriguing.

    You make it sound like Pac will be the favorite. I seriously doubt that. And if he is the favorite for some miracle reason, it will be a small margin.

    So I don't understand why "excuses" would be an issue.

    Because blood drawn close to the fight made him feel weak and not 100% mentally into the fight.

    Excuses are for Mayweather fans, not Pac fans. Don't get it twisted.

    Mayweather wins.

    And a lot of posters will be gone.


    But Pacquiao has a greater resume.

    Double post;

    Would it be interesting if Pacquiao lost to Mayeather but beat Martinez?
