Amir Khan"Mayweather was smart he wanted nothing to do with Pacqauio 6 years ago"

It doesn't matter how much you try to "prove" it.the reality and fact is,we don't know.we can only speculate about it.

Both were different fighters 5-6yrs ago.

It's really shame we didn't see them square at their primes.

I like you as poster,but i don't why you write Pac always #48 and little bit "underrating" him.and say Floyd schooled Pac.yes Floyd beat Pac.but it's far from schooling.what many Floyd fans try to claim.

and BTW,i'm also Floyd fan.but i try to be atleast objective.and i don't say you are not.in this particular case with Pac,i think you are biased atleast little?maybe you just want to rub the Pac fans?if that,then i agree and rightfully so hah

 

He refers to Manny Pacquiao as '#48' to demean and belittle his place in the sport. It's extremely disrespectful and immature, but the sort of behaviour you expect from a poster of Pimp C's limited intelligence. He will in all probability fade into obscurity once Floyd has actually established his retirement. Some posters aren't fans of the sport, they are fans of a particular boxer. You'd think Pimp C was on Floyd's payroll the way he's been mindlessly jumping to his defense and dismissing all other fighters in the process for ten years as a member of this forum. It's all very embarrassing.

 

Have you complained and got incensed about the infantile names that Pac's fans have called Mayweather? Just curious.

 

I had been inactive on these forums for quite some time before a day ago, cslb. But let's just that a few years ago, when Manny Pacquiao was at the height of his popularity, I was on the recieving end of quite a few scathing attacks from his ardent supporters for what they perceived to have been "hate", when in actual fact I was just trying to be objective about the Filipino and his abilities.

I don't feel like I have to be loyal to one side or another - to any fighters - so any agenda driven drivel will be quesitoned by me irrespective of what side it's coming from. You can be assured of that. It just so happens that so far Pimp C has been incredibly vocal in coming to Floyd's aid. And that's fine, he's a fan, but a lot of what he says is baseless rubbish and he seems to feel the need to discredit other fighters in the process of championing Floyd. It's...a bit weird.

 

Did you hear about Wynona's heart attack? Very sad....

 

I appreciate the intelligent response. I came on you the way I did because Pimp C is hardly the worse offender on here in demeaning a boxer they don't care for from my perspective. Moreover, I get the impression that Pimp C's problem is more with some of Pac's fans rather than Pac himself and he is just trying to yank their cord. I just found it curious that you criticized Pimp C when there are far worse offenders on this site when it comes to insulting Mayweather.

 

Pimp C has literally wasted ten years of life on these forums. It's not as if he has anything objective or insightful to say on any matters regarding Boxing, he just seems to blindly defend Floyd in the face of whatever controversies his fighter inflicts upon himself. He has literally been posting this rubbish since I first started posting on this website, when I was like 16 years old. It's astounding to me that a grown man wouldn't have matured in some capacity over the course of that time.

Fancy referring to a fighter of Manny Pacquiao's calibre as '#48'.

 

Maybe he was but he is also a boxer himself and therefore his own actions have to be taken into account when he is digging others out for things he has done himself.
He is hypocrite and it is examples like these why he gets so many negative reactions.

Well I'm speaking from a paying fans perspective and I believe I'm spot on.

 

I say #48 because he gave no credit and had excuses after the fight about a bogus injury. Up until that night I never referred to him as #48, do a search. If he would have shown some humility and grace in losing this would have never happened.

 

fighters age differently so it's okay if pacman waited until floyd was 42 years old ?

 

You claim I have limited intelligence but I told you for years that PBF was greater and would beat #48 if they ever fought. You thought #48 would win. You were run off this site in disgrace only to come back on your high horse as if you're so much better than anyone here. You don't know **** about boxing so don't play that game with me. I'm a fan of the sport been here for years and won't run off and hide like you.

Lastly, I guess you just overlook the nick names Pac fans have called PBF fans and PBF for years because it doesn't suit your agenda, so typical.

 

Professional fighters have historically failed to give their conquerors their due credit. I suppose it's the mindset winners must adopt in order to stay motivated and confident in the face of tough competition.

Floyd Mayweather Jr gave little credit to Jose Luis Castillo for giving him such a tough fight. No, instead he discredited Castillo's efforts by telling anyone who would listen that he was only allowed to be competitive due to Floyd having to fight effectively one handed for much of the contest. Whether or not his hand was hurt is besides the point. The point is that virtually all fighters make excuses for their shortcomings at this level. I wouldn't take it to heart, Pimp.

Do you actually believe any of what you just said to be true? I was run off this site in disgrace? I voluntarily stopped posting on this website because of the lounge debacle and there no longer being any avatars. It had absolutely nothing to do with Boxing or any disagreements you and I might have had. Your revionist history isn't so much revisionist as it is completely fabricated and made up.

Again, your memory is obviously extremely thin. I was subjected to a lot of abuse from Manny Pacquiao's ardent supporters for years because I didn't subscribe to the idea that the Filipino was the greatest fighter of all time. I'm not particularly enamoured with either Floyd or Manny, and I won't much care when they are both retired and the next crop of talented fighters come through. I think it's a bit overdue.

And not that it counts for much, but I thought Floyd would win quite comfortably ahead of his fight with Pacquiao, and I was fortunate enough to win a few friendly bets in the process. I have a lot to be thankful for. :good

 

Khan is a shameless hypocrite, whose lips pucker to kiss whichever a$$ is facing the east, when it suits his agenda. He's picked Floyd to win against Manny for years. It would be hilarious if Manny knocks him out. Khan often does not see that left hook coming.

This exaggerated view of Manny's abilities just 6 short years ago, compared to now, has gotten way out of hand. Yes he looked amazing. But, that same Manny would've run into that same Marquez right hand in 2009. Marquez knew Manny would be right where he wanted him at some point in that fight. How did he know? Manny has the same basic tendencies as he did in each of their encounters.

The same Manny who could not control the range against Floyd, or avoid the clinch, couldn't do it in 2009 either. In terms of styles he is the same guy with the same tendencies. Some boxing fans understood that back then. And were not surprised at the recent result.

Notice Roach had 0 advice to give Manny in the corner...none. Remember back then, Roach admitted he had not figured out a plan to beat Floyd. He was wagering on Floyd's legs being shot after his lack of movement in the Cotto fight...surprise, surprise. And people say Floyd waited on Manny to get old. But, really Roach was betting on Floyd to be old. Haha.

From a physical standpoint Manny was faster and took more chances (more reckless) back then. It's never been about his physical gifts, though. He's a great athelete. But, he never had a high enough ring IQ to clearly beat Marquez. And Floyd is (and always has been) a level above Manny and Marquez. It showed on May 2 and against Marquez in 2009. Of course people don't want to give the proper credit. Instead they want to reach back to a time, where Manny was running through lesser (than Floyd) opponents and had everyone believing Floyd was scared of him. When in actuality, Manny didn't want to take a test.

 

He was smart in a business sense. How much money have both parties (May and arum) made since piggybacking off each other's name.

I really believe this was the plan all along to squeeze as much money out of the potential fight.

So to say either fighter ducked each other is bs. It was a business move on arum and mayweathers part. If the rumours are true and the last mayweather fight PPV sales were low, this just proves the point and the only real reason people were buying the fights was because of the potential fight between them.

On another point,I'm am british and khan needs to stfu and get in the ring and fight

 

This is floyd in a nutshell he just waits until the threat or fighters form has passed.Didn't even want to fight hatton until hatton started looking bad.
