Marvin Hagler's Comments on PAC vs Floyd...

HAGLER: With the Pacquiao and Mayweather fight, I think that Mayweather might be a little scared. But then there’s another thing, and he’s almost looking like a Sugar Ray Leonard in the type of sense where he is dictating all of the time. Hello! If you’re going to fight, let’s fight! Let’s stop all this stuff. Let’s just get it on! I mean that is what boxing is about. So he’s trying to gain more money or whatever. I mean you already made enough money. Do you want to fight the guy? Yes or no? And I think that Pacquiao is saying, ‘Come on! Let’s do it today’. But I wouldn’t wait around for Mayweather. I would take another fight and still make as much money as I can and then leave the game while I’m still on top.

Thoughts on Hagler's perspective??

 

Actually I don't agree with Marv there. Sugar is above Floyd in the sense of his resume and actually taking on the best throughout his career....but with the "concessions" comment.... I can see similarities but I don't think it's a problem as long as it doesn't prevent fights from happening.....Like it has in make the fight with Manny.

But I think Marvin is spot on with his assesment of the situation. Fighters are suppose to fight....do you want to lace up and go at it or would you like to make up reasons NOT to fight?

 

I hope not! Marvin is a respected icon in boxing and he's not one who deserves disrespect for voicing his opinion... NOT with what he's done in the sport. He's a true warrior and a great person. I've met him one time and he's just an incredible person.

 

I don't think he looks at himself like PAC at all. He just thinks like a "FIGHTER"...meaning they fight and that is something in common. Ray also FOUGHT! He had a lot of leverage during his day like Floyd and Manny but he still made fights happen....he just could call shots b/c of his stock and popularity. But that NEVER prevented him from making meaningful fights.

Marv saying Floyd is scared is no more different than what the vast Majority are saying. It's of course his opinion....but one based on the actions and comments Floyd has put out there. People come up with their own conclusions on the situation and most of those opinions are on level with Marvins.
