lmao. bradley came 100pct healthy. in the beginning he tried to keep up but couldnt with pac. same **** as dela hoya was zombie. pac made him one. same thing here, pac made bradley rolled his ankles because he couldnt keep up in the early rounds he tried full bore. bradley already turned 2x money for rematch. if he turned down another, you know whats up. people dont take harder fights for less money. it is always the other way around. anyway, ill take floyd's opinion vs. any keyboard warrior here, including mine. "he was walking down cotto". :hi: of course, if fight happens when pac is 80yrs old, that would be a joke. floyd will claim victory over the rivalry when he beat pac ala hopkins-jones2.:deal edit: mrD claimed floyd will be moving for 12rounds. you said floyd will just be at the rest place, not necessarily moving. interesting, *****s have differing opinions.
You do know De La Hoya was spent in that fight, right? Roach said it himself, when he saw the IV marks. This was a history making fight and a huge event, but be real. Hoya hadn't fought at welter in about 7 years. This was the tale end of his career. You're giving Pacquiao too much credit here. Bradley took an awkward step backwards. Because it happened once in the fight, I would refer to it as an anomaly. It's not like Pacquiao has a history of being in fights with guys and they roll their ankles. Many other times in the fight Bradley stepped away perfectly.
the only time in history will you ever hear an excuse how a former 160 pound titlist lost to a former 112 pound titlist at 147 pounds. Enough we the excuses homo, DLH lost to a guy who had recently been fighting at super featherweight :rofl
roach said a lot of things pre-fight. he also said pac is gonna ko marquez, or floyd has lost his legs. spin it however you like it. i prefer to believe angelo dundee. "de la hoya looked fine in the gym". de la hoya lose weight to focus on speed instead of cutting weight at the end of the camp. then he found out, in his fastest, pac is still so much quicker and had carried his power to the weight, something they didnt expect. pac killed dela hoya. no amount of spin is gonna change tko9.:deal
pac made history on that night. 3 weight classes in 2 fights and dominated back-to-back. followed by another brutal domination at 140. 135-ko 147-tko 140-ko total domination, can only be done by a phenominal talent. who has done this in history?
It was brilliant match making, and no doubt a GREAT performance for Pacquiao. But I still contend that De La Hoya wasn't at his best and was weight drained.
the thing is, he predicted those things about pac ko'ing marq...he saw with his own eyes the fresh IV marks on DLH's arms and realized they had tried to hydrate him too late.... and it was during the Forbes fight where Roach was led to believe that DLH couldn't pull the trigger anymore why don't you break down the fight for us and how Pac would win against Floyd. You keep harping on about "have you seen any of Floyd's fights vs southpaws" when he's won all of them by wide decisions/pretty comfortably. hint, Floyd's defense isn't just the shoulder roll. It's laughable that you guys think that's all he has for defense. Go ahead and crack the shoulder roll, he'll most likely give you another look.
also, progamer...you never answered my question in the other thread. Since you consider Floyd ducked 154lb Canelo (horse**** logic but whatever), what do you say about 147 Cotto? 154 Margerito? or Roach saying "shane is too good" as the reason why he wanted to drain him to 140 or not fight him period?
Im a guy that is a fan of both fighters. Mayweather should have fought Canelo at the full 154, and he would have got full credit. It was still a great performance with good match making. Canelo should have never conceded the two lbs. If it wasn't important, it wouldn't had been a condition. Pacquiao has made history and is no doubt an ATG, but he is also the beneficiary of catch weights, and timing. Mayweather, too, has had some great match making. It's not to say that Mayweather or Pacquaio wouldn't win these fights with out the conditions, but it always leaves room for argument.
well it is too late now. if they fought tomorrow it would still not answer the question of who would have won 2-3 years ago when both were tied for P4P number 1. I think Floyd has lost a bit of his edge and Pac has lost his focus for the game. Would still like to see it though.
it was not dela hoyas weight that missed hitting pac. if he was full weight, he might get tko 11-12 instead of tko 9, who knows. compare dela hoyas first few rounds against pac and canelo vs floyd. who looked more zomnie there? pac made history. tko9. 3 weight classes in 2 fights and total domination.:deal floyd, 1 weight class, sd12.:dead edit: lmao, breakdown pac-floyd. arent you tired reading them? how many times do i have to do it? im tired of writing about it. there is nothing to crack. it doesnt work against southpaws. simple. it will offense vs. offense. why dont you tell us what other defense floyd uses against southpaws?
