The Pac victory was great..BUT

Margarito isnt ****. Granted he's a basic and flawed slugger but he's certainly not ****. The dimension he has took him to a world title more than once. This is a guy that has mixed with the best in his division for a long time. You cant suddenly play down his ability's because he got two beat downs from two of boxings best superstars and ATG's.
Any old fighter doesnt beat Marg. If they did then Cintron wouldn't have lost twice. It took two special fighters to stop what many thought was a chin of iron. Despite enduring a broken orbital and two swollen shut eyes he still lasted the full 12. Thats not the mark of a "****" fighter.

 

I agree with the Duck.

Personally, I'd slightly favour a decision for Mayweather, but if anyone's scoring a KO, it's probably Manny. In Floyd's last 16 fights, there are 2 retirements and 4 TKOS; the rest are UDs. In his last 6 fights (which were welterweight), he's only TKO'd Hatton, and couldn't put away Marquez. Floyd is not a KO-artist.

 

At what point do you arbitrarily disregard a major portion of a fighters career? How does that make ANY sense? You talk as though its merely a matter of course that Manny happens to have better skills than Marg. If skills was the only prerequisite boxing wouldnt need weight divisions. If it was that matter of fact there would be more flyweight fighters who were 8 weight world champs. And more flyweights who would have made the march to 154 and beaten up one of the top ranked guys at 47 and 54 for almost the best part of a decade. Your reasoning is entirely flawed.

 

who cares about his KO ratio..does that define how good a boxer is?

Detroit over exxturates that Margo has no defense. He was the bigger guy that night and he sure as hell wasn't going to get pacman in a trap. And when he did, it paid HUGE dividends on his end.

Margo was a SOLID boxer last night. Way too slow because anybody who pac fights usually is.. Obvious, he wasn't going to go all Pernell Whitaker on the Pacman. Its just not his fighting style.

Looking at how Margo was **** from the beginning, why didn't mayweather fight this guy from the beginning..Oh, its because it wouldn't make money. That's a total Bull**** excuse.

 

Although i agree and echo your sentiments this is somewhat of a secular argument as it can never be proven. Personally i think Marg is a dirty cheat. But we only know that because of the stunt he pulled with SSM. And now also with Pac with the Ephedra accusations.

 

i think what is great with this victory is that he beat a guy who was 17 lbs larger and 5 inches taller than him while standing toe to toe in front of him the whole fight. pac was exchanging bombs with this much bigger guy even when he was on the ropes which his corner didn't want him to do.

pac with his talent, speed and skill could've made it easier for himself and boxed to an easy decision. but he wanted to entertain the fans and give them a good fight. this fight was very one-sided but it was still very exciting and entertaining since pac engaged the big guy in vicious fire-fights all night long even when he already had a very insurmountable lead.

 

Ironically, initial predictions for this fight are at 1.4 million PPVs and Margarito is likely to receive a much smaller % than Mosley did.

arum offered mayweather a guaranteed 8M + a big portion of PPV revenue to fight margo. but i think mayweather fought baldo instead for much less money.

 

Mayweather fought Baldomir for 8 milliobn plus PPV revenue.

Also, Arum wanted Floyd to re sign with him and only offering a contract that had him re signing with him.

 

i'm sure arum offered floyd a guaranteed 8M + a big portion of the PPV revenue to fight margo.

floyd got less money in the baldo fight since the PPV numbers for that fight flopped, only 325K.

 

Instead of writing 3 paragraphs of bias bull ****, the thread should have said ..

"The Pac victory was great..BUT I am black and I love FloydMayweather. "


How the **** can you *****s say Floyd would stop pacman ? PAC has proven his toughness and iron chin, he took Cotto's and Margarito's best shots and never was close to being stopped. Floyd not only isn't as good as a puncher than those two, but Floyd doesnt knock Anyone out who even has the slightest bit of resilence. Floyd fighting aggressively and going for a KO would only result in Floyd getting pummeled. He will fight defensively, with a safety first mindset.

This is all Hypothetical of course , until Floyd actually mans up and gives the public what they want.. All we'll have is these hypothetical victories from *****s.

Sorry for typos , on my phone.

 

And you base this on what? Margo couldn't land a single straight right hand on Pac. Neitehr could Hatton, Cotto, or De La Hoya. clottey landed a few but most of them were picked off. People underrate his defense a lot. It's not the best out there but he's improved a ton.

 

I like this guys predictions.

Clearly 100% acccurate.
