    This is the question that needs to be asked. Pacquiao was able to tee off on Rockgloves whose defense is up there on a list of the worst in the history of the sport. I don't feel we learned anything new about Pacquiao on Saturday. As I said before, he would whitewash the fight winning every single round, and he did that... but that doesn't change how he would do with Floyd. Anyone who was swayed by Saturday hasn't been following the sport because nothing has changed between Saturday and now.

    Pac needs to drug test. This is just more mounting evidence that he needs to drug test.

    Mayweather's best chance was to make the fight happen asap and not use the OSDT excuse. If he was so serious about that he would've done it in his comeback fight against Marquez. If I play someone in a game who I know I can beat easily then afterwards someone else wants to play against me but I know that guy can beat me and I make up a crazy request; wouldn't that infer that I was scared to play him? Same logic. Mayweather had imo his best chance to face Pacquiao earlier and he blew it. I think Pacquiao would mess him up if they fought now but lets see if the fight gets made. I hope he can get out of the mess he's in and get back to the sport. Hate him or not, he's still gonna be talked about alot. BTW, Margo and Floyd fight nothing alike so you shouldn't look into that fight so much lol. Also, Mayweather doesn't have to knock Pac out, all he has to do is win by decision as usual.

    (Whoops I meant OSDT, ODST is a Halo game lol)

    Where are people getting this from?
    Mosely landed 2(!!) meaningful punches in the whole fight! Marquez? Did he even land one?
    Hatton did nothing of note. DLH flurried onto gloves a lot but no quality punches required to hurt an opponent.

    Its all very well throwing and landing loads of punches v Margarito whos defence and footwork is terrible. Floyds whole focus is to hit without getting hit, and is a master at shutting his opponent down.
    Manny would throw less and land less than at anytime in his career.

    Thw difference between Pac and Floyd is Pac has no plan B. Plan A nearly always works, but when it doesnt, and an opponent starts timing him coming in he doesnt ajust.
    Mayweather ajusts constantly, and if there has ever been a fighter better at nullifying an opponent Ive yet to see them.
    Mayweather punches very hard these days too, and had granite chinned Mosely reeling all over the place. He's also the best body puncher around too IMO.
    Mayweather wins this convincingly, and the rematch too.

    I disagree. Saturday confirmed that Pacman can take punches from these bigger WWs. Prior to this fight, i think some still questioned this. But the way he engaged Margarito in vicious exchanges and was able to handle them saids a lot. He could've easily pot shotted Margarito to a much safer win but he didn't. Thus, he showed that he can take punches. This is what we learned on Saturday.

    Floyd doesnt have to KO pac to win. In fact, floyd will be the first guy since JMM to actually go into the fight NOT expecting an easy KO and expecting to go 12.


    Add to that floyd fights very relaxed and saves his energy, he is the best conditioned fighter out there today other than Pac. I have never seen floyd tired in a fight, I have seen Pac tired. By the second half of the fight I expect Pac to be tired and frusterated and Floyd taking him to school. Floyd doesnt have to be a huge puncher to win, he doesnt have to KO pac, he only needs to hurt him enough with clean counters to get his respect and make him fight floyds fight, which he will.

    :goodFixed. Mosley was clinching alot which can be considered a foul. He looked great in the second Vargas fight not losing a round, he looked bad in some rounds of the first fight though Vargas was shot in both fights. I do completely agree with the last sentences you have said.

    :lol:Where do they find you nuthuggers? Did you even read my paragraph or did me questioning Floyd's request rile you up? I like Floyd too but lets be honest, that request is questionable especially since he didn't ask for it as soon as he came back.

    Different animal? Yeah, let's not compare common opponents head-to-head.

    You guys with the rose colored glasses on for Floyd especially can't seem too understand that Pacquiao is faster than Mayweather, in hands and feet. You're too used to Mayweather speed- maybe you should watch Pacquiao in slow motion to see what he's doing. Pacquiao KO's Mayweather, if he fights him next.

    Some people twist it and put down Pacquiao for what he has done the last two years? That's ass backwards: That is getting him ready for Floyd. Now, a seriously outweighed, blownup lightweight and a 39 yr old Mosley aint doin nothin for Pretty Boy but putting money in the bank, and he better save that, because the IRS got his file on top.

    I don't hug nuts. I just look at the facts. Manny is the only fighter in history that as he gets older gets STRONGER, FASTER, and has more stamina. The fact is this is biologically IMPOSSIBLE.

    Your questioning FMJ's request just illustrates what a moron you are. Mosley who sparked Margo was toast in two rounds after the drug testing. I can't wait to see Manny after the drug testing. :deal

    Actually, Manny did agree to drug test demands made by your man. Or do you selective memory?
