Pacquiao has a better resume than Floyd on the principle that he's been in better fights. They weren't better opponents. Manny vs. Marquez is an all time great war. Floyd vs. Marquez is just a one sided schooling The fights only a toss up as long as it doesn't happen. Soon as it's announced, floyd would be at least a 1-20 favourite
Pacquiao is only allowed to throw so many shots because his opponent doesn't have the speed or skill to hurt him on the counter. Easy throwing 1000 shots when not much is coming back every time you make a mistake. Very hard when you have a guy landing bombs every time you try and throw a shot. Just watch Pacquiao vs. Marquez. He has 1-2 rounds of throwing 100 shots a round, before Marquez just neutralizes him on the counter.
Do you Pacquiao fans follow the news at all, or just ignore it? I have no idea why I keep reading this, when you have Manny;s own manager Koncz, who tried to make the damn fight, saying quite clearly that the second deal never got made as Manny would not accept Floyds demand of full random testing, and Floyd would not accept Manny's demand of a 7 day cut off. Either guy had made the concession, it could have got done. Like Bob Arum, trying to work out how to sell a Margarito fight to fans? "Oh just lie my ass off"
It's well known. Must have read it on 5-6 different boxing sites. Man, take this into account. Juan Marquez was 144 in ring with Juan Diaz. Oscar was 147 in ring with Manny. End of argument
Lol I know man, I'm just trying my best to sound like a Pacquaio fan. They think since he throws a bunch of punches, he'll beat Floyd
Man, Marquez would have beat him if he'd taken an immediate rematch. Man, Roach wouldn't let Mosely face him as he felt Shane was too big and strong at 147. Easy claiming your unbeatable when you only face hand picked brawlers, that Roach has pre-approved
So you have no real evidence you're just another one of those guys that thinks his opinions are facts.
floyd said he doesn't fight to prove who is the best. he just expects it like a handout. Pac is willing to earn it and if duckweather keeps chickening out like a coward, he;ll keep fighting the next best challenges.
Easy throwing a lot of shots, when you know nothing is coming back. Try and throw those shots with Floyd, Marquez, Mosely, and fight that recklessly, and you'll have a serious bomb coming your way about 7-8 times a round. Saw it a bit with Clottey. If that had been out of the fight by round 6. Just like he was with Marquez
I'm one of those guys who read the fact that he had signed a rehydration clause on about 6 web sites before and after the fight. So wasn't surpised that he was lighter in ring with pacquiao than he was in ring with Genaro Hernandez at Super Featherweight, about 15 years earlier.
Man, Pacquiao walks out of the first fight. Second fight, his manager says Pacquiao again wouldn't accept full random testing. You have a funny definition of "Pacquiao wanting the fight". He obviously don't want it enough to take drug tests
I agree with you, but when I bring up Mosley or Marquez they get all pissy and mad. Even they know Pacquiao can't beat Williams and Martinez. There's a reason why Pacquiao hasn't fought a natural boxer or a fighter that moves around since Marquez
