I wasn't asking about two years ago though. when the fights were announced did u expext pac to beat both men?
I agree with everyone! This fight is beyond insane and really questions the true status of boxing right now! The sad thing is, HBO, arum, team mosley and team pacman will hype this fight up towards the end, just as they did with margarito, which also was a disgrace of a fight imo! After this hype everyone will be excited for this fight and will forget the fact that this fight makes no sense, means nothing and only has one outcome every single time! This fight therefore wont be boycotted eventhough it should ! I really really have lost respect for most of team pacman, this is truly pathetic, i was always a big pacquaio fan, but i am really angry with the fight ! This can only work in floyds advantage as just further proves pacquaio has nothing more to do in his career but fight floyd leftovers! The boxing community should leave their heads hanging in shame!!
He beat them using his speed and power. I really don't get some people who continually look at size rather than a boxers skill. Size ain't **** if you fightig against a boxer who is twice as fast and twice as skilled. When will casual boxing fans learn this.
Yes I expected Pac to win, but not in the manner he did. Clottey - A man who is never defeated easily. Pac shuts him out completely. But I'll admit, Clottey didn't come to fight. So, I'll dismiss this fight. Margarito - I was expecting Pacquiao to dance his way to a UD, and not really hurt or deter the bigger guy. Instead, we see Pac go to war with him, hurt and rock him on more than one occasion, brutalize his face, and should have got a stoppage win if it wasn't for the stupidity of Margo's corner. So like I said earlier - he exceeded the expectations. Oh, and why just mention the Clottey and Margarito fights? What about the Hatton and Cotto ones? Were they not impressive in your eyes?
Exactly, and at the same time Pac tried to open up just, at his own risk, to make the fight exciting giving what the "casual fans" they're moneys worth.
glorified top rank stablemate sparring session... as long as mosley don't try to step on the gas at any point. it will be pac unanimous decision.
The problem arises from the fact that this is now the second horrible matchup in a row. Remember, the guy he just beat is a guy who fought with a cast on. And when he got caught and didn't fight with a cast, Mosley dominated him at 37 years old. Now we get 40-year old Mosley who is now a shell of 37-year old Mosley, much less 28-year old Mosley.
If you all dont like the fight... then dont fukking watch it. you guys bitching and crying like pee pee marquez.
So why aren't fast, skilled fighters jumping up in weight all the time to beat, bigger, stronger, slower fighters? They're not. Otherwise we'd have twenty Mayweathers and twenty Pacquiaos. Adamek, twice as skilled and fast as Grant, struggled like hell against him, because of his size and strength. We have weight classes for a reason, and fighters don't typically climb those classes like the aforementioned fighters for a reason, also.
True boxing fans will watch this fight even if they don't pay for it. In not paying that is their protest, but they'd still find a way to watch it.
If you bought Mayweather-Marquez but boycott this, you're a joke. :deal This is a bad fight, there's no hiding from that, but I'll be watching anyway. It's a **** fight, but it'll be exciting enough while it lasts I think.
BS fight im glad it ain't in texas this time cuz i doubt that much people would go. I wanted pac vs berto damn damn damn
