Pacquiao: I'm Going To KO Mayweather...!!!

For someone like Pacquiao coming into this fight with no real pressure from the boxing world to win, he has sure done a great job of putting a lot of pressure on himself.

 

He's too overconfident.

Which for me is not a surprise, the boxing would has been feeding him with the fact that Floyd has been too scared to fight him. I think he genuinely believes it even though he's going to be sharing a ring with him.

Very very bad mentality to have coming into a fight against a guy like Mayweather.

 

@floyd g.o.a.t

He has sounded out of character since this fight has been made, it's almost been a role reversal of sorts and I've asked myself the question you eluded to about he boxing world feeding him with propaganda about Mayweather being scared to fight him, and came to the same conclusion, he really believed(s) Mayweather was afraid of him. He does sound overconfident, and as disrepectful as Mayweather had been towards Pacquiao in the past, Pacquiao has been just as disrepectful towards Mayweather now. I think Pacquiao's head is telling him Mayweather is scared, but his heart is telling him otherwise, Pacquiao knows what he's up against, his KO prediction sounds more like he trying to convince himself more than he's trying to convince his trainer.

 

the pacman with power pellets could do it... he rocked margaerito and stopped cotto FFS... but this "clean" version of pacman... he can't ko ****

 

ask algieri? he got knocked down 6 times and ran as much as floyd runs.

 

No it isn't. You want him to fight scared? No. He needs to be ***** to the wall the entire fight.

 

You could be right, bro.. But I don't think he's been disrespectful, or anything even close to fmj antics in 5 years.nthat said both of them know it's gonna be their toughest challenge, or so so seems to me. Thing is pac has less to lose in this fight than floyd, who has a discernible larger a,punt of pressure on him.

 

Your logical insight has no place on ESB. :smoke

I agree. One of the great things about boxing: You could think you have a fight ****yzed perfectly, but you just "never know." 1 punch can change a fight.

 

LOL spadafora owned Floyd. Posted proof. Of course, you're insanity over Floyd doesn't allow you to see logic and reasoning -- Its quite pathetic.
And like I said, had those 2 robberies oscar faced vs Trinidad and Mosley rematch not have happened, Oscar would rank above Floyd without question.

On the career of Oscar De La Hoya, Rold deems De La Hoya not to be an all-time great and instead claims De La Hoya as hall-of-fame worthy. I, however, oppose Rold’s estimations and agree with the view adopted by ESPN who rank Oscar De La Hoya as 39th in their greatest fighter of all-time rankings.

To summarize De La Hoya’s career, he fought 23 former/current world champions in a staggering 29 world championship fights to became a 10-time world champion in 6-weight divisions. If these achievements do not merit all-time great status yet prize-fighters like Calzaghe are deemed to reach all-time great status then something is seriously wrong.

Of course, all prize-fights have their share of easier fights but as I highlighted in my article on Joe Calzaghe, a closer look at the Ring magazine’s official annual ratings for each respective weight class and its best contenders for a given year show that 16 of Calzaghe’s 21 championship fights came against opponents who were not ranked within the Ring’s top-ten contenders for the 168lb division when Calzaghe fought them. This totalled a staggering period of five years.

I emphasise these statistics because when you place Oscar De La Hoya’s career under ****ysis through the same official Ring annual ratings we find a stark contrast in that De La Hoya consistently fought the very best prize-fighters of his time, fighting the very best contenders of the weight classes he was competing in.

Surprisingly, however, many like Rold deem De La Hoya to fall short of all-time great status and use his defeats as a deciding factor in determining his career achievements against all-time greatness.

My argument is that if you take a closer look at his 6 defeats you find that his first loss against Felix Trinidad ended in a clear robbery in a fight where De La Hoya clearly won the first 8-rounds. His second defeat came to a prime Shane Mosley where he was split-decisioned in a fight which could’ve gone either way. His following defeat was again at the hands of Shane Mosley who later admitted in a court of law that he was on performance-enhancing drugs in their close rematch. His fourth defeat came to Bernard Hopkins at middleweight, a weight De La Hoya was not naturally grown into. This was followed by his defeat to Floyd Mayweather in another split-decision loss closely followed by the clear defeat to Pacquiao at 147lbs, a weight De La Hoya grew out from in 2001.

Verdict: Oscar De La Hoya quite rightly deserves his ESPN ranking as one the greatest fighters of all-time and his career must be looked at with perspective to truly respect his great achievements.



AND, if Floyd loses to his first legit elite challenge since early 2000s, OMG he's going to fall drastically in the ATG list. They will all say, floyd looked great when he fought inferior fighters, but the second he meets another elite, not washed up fighter, he loses. LOL Its a wrap if Floyd doesn't win this fight.

 

What happened to your duck_master log in? You know you aren't fooling any one. Having conversations with your alts lol.

 

Pac needs a KO win or else he has no chance of winning the next Philippines Presidential election. :deal

 

He better have a plan B.

 

Very unlikely, would make a shocking outcome if it does. Like Ali outboxing Foreman back then.

 

God has a plan prepared for all of this drama. What you are about to see is him weave an amazing story. God let Pacquiao get KO'd by Marquez, so that the biggest fight in the century can happen. If Pacquiao won fight 4, he would never have looked weak enough for Floyd and we would have been robbed. On May the 2nd, Pacquiao will rise once more to avenge that defeat and become the only person on the planet that ever KO'd Mayweather.

There is always a bigger plan. This is all part of the story/destiny.
