When did Floyd start to fear Manny Pacquiao?

They should fight in Manilla. Will never happen but I think it would be epic.

 

At 2:99 of the 2nd round of the Pac Hatton match.

He didn't know what he was signing up himself for.

 

You're a troll with a cartoon character in your avatar that right there tells me everything I need to know about you.

 

Floyd is definitely scared of Pacquiao... how anyone can not see the obvious truth is beyond me. Yes Floyd gave Castillo a rematch because he had to fight him again in order to maintain his credibility because even a blindman could see that Floyd lost the first fight. But at that time, Floyd was not a household name nor did he have the kind of money he has now so he had to give JLC the rematch if he wanted to be taken seriosly.

Floyd knows he actually has a chance of losing to Pacquiao and he doesn't want to risk losing his marketability, which would surely plummet once his fragile aura of invinciblility is crushed at the hands of the Fillipino destroyer.

 

When Pacquiao went to lightweight and immediately showed a hitherto non-existant right hand. Floyd saw that.

 

After pac destroyed cotto! Without a doubt..

 

he's not scared of him
he just wants pac to have a few tough fights and wear and tear

manny will have had six tough fights ans six very tough training camps
taking alot of punishment against bigger stronger fighters than himself
realistically how much more can manny's small frame take ????

floyd is training on the down low with nobody watching

he's just fighting him AT THE RIGHT TIME with EVERY ADVANTAGE

playing it smart

he doesn't care what anyone thinks !!!!!!!!!!


he's letting manny have tough fights build the floyd v manny story
hype up the public

then get paid for a mega fight for multi millions

he is on vacation / enjoying himself and training safley

while manny is doing all the hard work

THINK ABOUT IT !!!!!

 

You won't even admit it was a close fight that could go either way? That's why I can't take cats like you seriously because you say stupid **** like a blind man could see PBF lost that fight. Those types of fights are where there could be no case made for a guy wining and he won a true robbery. PBF-JLC 1 doesn't fit that description.:deal Log off irrational hater.

 

Hey, that comicbook is an most importantly a great and apt tribute to greatest HW ever, but also a bold political statement.

"Black Superman" (as Ali was called at the time) vs "White" Superman.

But that went over your head huh?:-(

 

Very simplistic way of seeing it. PBF had no issues with Hatton who barely landed anything of note over the first half of the fight. If anything it was an underrated clinic, one in which PBF beat Hatton at his own game, broke him down and made him dance with a ring post. Hatton might have hit PBF with maybe 3 flush shots the whole night. It only looked like PBF was having trouble early because PBF chose to wrestle with Hatton and beat him at his own game on the inside. He wanted to prove a point much like he did against Mosley by standing in front of him, when everyone said he would run.:deal

 

It was Mayweather's reps who contacted Pac's reps about a fight after the Cotto fight.

 

Hatton would have had him thinking "Wow", but then to do basically the same to Cotto was the clincher.

 

when pac used his fist to destroy hatton instead of the post.

 

You are such a cheerleader for Gayweather. How you can defend that classless punk is beyond me.

 

It started with Hatton , regardless of the outcome against Floyd, Hatton kept on coming for 10 rounds , albeit running into punches , but gave Floyd all he could handle for 6 or 7 rounds .

Hatton was the smaller man in that fight and so against Manny was expected to go a similar way , fight hard but get stopped late.

The difference was Hatton was back at his natural weight.

The only time Hatton was in the fight was when Tom Jones was singing the anthems.

Floyd Snr seen Manny up close and real and since then has done everything to keep his son away from that fight .

The onesided beatings on Cotto (who can fight and would still give Mayweather major problems) and Margarito ( the man Floyd wouldnt fight for 8 million ) only compounded the fact.

I see the fight Happening but in a bad way , in maybe two years when Manny has maybe had one hard fight too many and Floyd has rested and maybe had one fight against a Bradley or a Berto ( limited but a good name).
