^Lol, that was posted today, I've (and a few others) been saying that all week.

I guess Malignaggi is on Mayweather's nuts too huh, even though he's a professional boxer and knows what's he's talking about.
He's been on Floyd's nuts for years man. He's been mad at Pacquiao since Pacquiao fought someone else instead of Paulie. He then said after PAULIE himself knocks out Hatton he's gonna knock out Pacquiao for disrespecting him (of course Paulie gets knocked out by Hatton lol and then Pac knocked out Hatton). For the Timothy Bradley rematch, he said as long as there is VADA drug testing Bradley wins "all day" and of course there was VADA testing, Pac wins and he then proceeds to discredit the win. He's very biased. Good commentator though.

Yea but him on the outside looking in as an analsyt/boxing expert he has no bias to either side and just calling it real. Its different being a fighter talking shit but on the flip side hes telling it like it is. Got Em!!
we'll that's not true because before he actually said Pacquiao would likely beat Floyd, then totally changed his tune.

1:15 "If Pacquiao beats Cotto, he might be the greatest fighter of all time! "



Of course Pacquiao destroys Cotto and Paulie changes his tune. Again.

Show me where he said that. Got Em!!

After Pacquiao stopped Cotto:
“ Pacquiao stops Floyd Mayweather. I think Floyd is the best fighter I’ve ever seen put on a pair of boxing gloves, but you can’t beat Superman if you’re human.”

Before Cotto:

“I want to see how Floyd looks against Marquez before I make a decision on that. Right now, if I had to call it, I think it’s a tough style match-up for Floyd Mayweather. I’m not saying he loses the fight, I think until Floyd Mayweather loses a fight, he has the right to be called ‘the favorite.’ Every time he steps in the ring, I think you have to make Floyd the favorite. If I had to make the call right now, the way I see Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather, it’s a very tough fight. That’s a tougher fight than the Marquez fight – not to say that Marquez is a bad fighter. But styles make fights. Pacquiao presents the abilities to give Floyd problems

“Ever since I watch Floyd Mayweather he gives you a defense where he locks up. And a lot of the time obviously it works for Floyd. Floyd is very hard to hit, regardless of the fact. But I always thought that somebody with fast hands – that throws punches in bunches and throws them in flurries – might not land on Floyd – because he locks up so well – he has the ability to leave Floyd there. Malignaggi’s analysis starts to fascinate. “And what I mean by that is, move your hands, step out, you leave him there. Throw punches, step out. Before you know it, Floyd, if he’s giving you all this, he never gets the chance to get back off. Because you’re in and out. And that costs you rounds. Through the course of Mayweather’s career, he’s always been faster than most of his opponents. But the fast guys that he did fight did show glimpses of it. Oscar showed glimpses of that. Zab Judah showed glimpses of that – that you can do that to Floyd. The problem is you very rarely will hit him clean. So I think these guys get frustrated and get away from that. But in the meantime, what they don’t realize is that they’re probably winning rounds because Floyd is not getting off. Pacquiao doesn’t have to change anything about himself. He fights that way naturally.

Malignaggi again began to lean towards slightly towards Pacquiao. “A guy that wants to pot shot can’t pot shot you if they come in too fast. Floyd has made a career of always beating these Mexican guys. He will always beat these Mexican fighters. They’re a little slow, they give you daylight in between their punches. Floyd’s counterpunching skills and pot shots is gonna be able to slip punches in between those punches.”

“But somebody that comes so fast, not showing daylight between their punches. Guys like Judah did, guys like De La Hoya did early in the fight. You can’t put pot shots between those combinations. They’re coming too fast. Before you know it, you’re only on defense. When you want to get back on offense, the guy is leaving you there. You do that enough times in every round, what happens? You lose the round. I’m not saying they’re gonna stop him because Floyd is hard to hit. But you put yourself in a hole round-wise.”

“So I can see that being a problem for Floyd, especially as he gets older. So how will Floyd counteract that? He might price himself out of ever having to fight Pacquiao, or blame Bob Arum, that’s how he might counteract Pacquiao. Sorry, I couldn’t resist."

So what do you think about Paulies break down CZAR @CZAR and how he said Floyd would price himself out of a Pacquiao fight and just blame Bob Arum? GOT EM!!!

He said that Pacquiao's style could be a problem for Floyd, didn't mean that he'd pick Pacquiao to beat Floyd.

I like how 206 twists words out of peoples mouths.....

Paulie was quoted as saying "He MIGHT price himself out of a fight"
206 then says "Paulie predicted Floyd WOULD price himself out of a fight"

There's a difference between might and would. Might meaning there's a chance, would means you're actually going to do it.

Nice try 206, you think you're slick.

Floyd makes $32 mill per fight plus ppv and gate. Fighting Manny will give him $100 mill plus! He was offering Manny no ppv money after the $40 mill and now rumor has it Manny only deserves 1/3 of that $200 mill set up for "this fight." If you were Mayweather, would you take $100 mill plus ppv and gates, or $32 mill plus and fight Khan? It doesn't matter how much money Manny gets, cuz regardless Floyd will see more than he will ever see fighting Manny over someone else. That's pricing yourself out

Im twisting words? lol his words are right there to see. He was clearly leaning towards Pacquiao. He also said Pacquiao was Superman after he stopped Cotto and said a human like Floyd would get stopped. And then he completely changed his tune. Point was Paulie is biased and always has been. You were saying he's unbiased, I proved you wrong, move along. Paulie is what he is - a Brooklyn fighter with a big mouth, huge ego but always was just an average fighter. He got destroyed by Cotto and Hatton and Pacquiao destroyed those two guys so Paulies like wtf how can he destroy the guys that destroyed me? PEDS! Just like he accused Shawn Porter of peds after he knocked Paulie out. Then like the punk he is, when Porter confronted him at a fight about those accusations , on camera, Paulie shriveled up like a bitch and straight up got punked. Again. This is Paulie and this is Brooklyn people in general. Way more bark than bite.

What do you mean what do I think? I just asked you to show me where Paulie said Manny would win because I had never heard it. Who knows the Manny (superman) he is referring to was the Manny on roids and that Manny just might be able to beat Floyd. But on a even playing field Manny has no chance. Thats why Floyd asked for random testing up to the fight and Manny rejected because he was juicing. Got Em!!

Manny never tested positive for anything. But for whatever reason people were accusing Alex Ariza for "juicing" Manny. The good thing is that Manny fired his ass cuz he never needed him anyways. I wonder whatever happened to Ariza...

Why else would somebody reject a blood test especially if you were given two weeks free of any drug testing? Only to turn around and then say yeah, yeah I agree to the test, you can test me in between rounds. Why didn't he say that when the contract was in his face for him to sign? Mind boggling....

If you didn't agree then why agree now? What happened to all the excuses..... "He's bigger than me", "Drawing blood makes me weaker during training"..... Did Floyd shrink? Does drawing blood still make him weak?

As for Paulie, he even called Manny out on that one. Maybe Paulie's opinion of Superman changed when Superman wouldn't agree to random testing....

True words from Ricky, it honestly is pathetic





Hatton Says Mayweather-Pacquiao Situation is Pathetic
Mobile Version Click Here To Email * Search BoxingScene Database*

By Edward Chaykovsky

Manchester legend Ricky Hatton, now a full fledged promoter, is one of the few common opponents of both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. He was stopped by Mayweather in ten rounds in 2007, which was Hatton's first career defeat. Two years later he was knocked out cold in two rounds by Pacquiao.

Back then, the biggest fight in the sport was*Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Nothing has*changed over the years. Fans are still demanding the fight, but*the two sides don't appear to be any closer to*reaching an agreement.*

"More whispers that it could be happening. It's a bit pathetic, personally, to be honest with you. You think they would just go, as far as the money goes, 50-50. But this one wants 51% and you get 49%....unbelievable. The reason that you go in to boxing is to become the best. I fought the pair of them and they won't fight each other. I'm thinking, from the whispers that I'm hearing, that it could happen, that they're making progress. If I wasn't a boxer, I would be a boxing fan and that's the biggest fight out there," Hatton told Talking Baws.

Hatton says both fighters are past their best, but he still picks Mayweather to beat the Filipino star.

duh.

You can look back and practically see the wheels in Paulies head in motion. He says IF Pacquiao beats Cotto he would probably be THE GREATEST FIGHTER OF ALL TIME. That's how highly he thought of Cotto. Why did he think that highly of Cotto? because Cotto beat his ass. And why did Cotto beat his ass? Because Paulie was never that good, dude can't crack an egg. But Paulie always had this delusional view of himself as some masterful boxer which he never was. So to him for someone to beat up Cotto, of course he isn't human! He even said he thought Cotto would beat Mayweather! This is what Paulie does. If someone beats him, they must be amazing fighters. Khan beat him, and now I see an article of how Paulie thinks Khan has a very good chance of beating Floyd (but Pac has zero chance, right?) lol. And again with Shawn Porter, immediately after getting knocked out he accuses Porter of being on steroids, because of course there is no way in hell a fighter could stop the amazing Paulie, right, so it must be PEDS. Bottom line is Paulies opinions real hold no water. Now when he calls a fight live, he's pretty good because he's giving us a fighters perspective, however he tends to always give close rounds to the boxers because that's what he was, just like George Foreman would always praise the punchers. Everyone is going to have some kind of biased views.

As far as the money goes.... Ricky must still be sniffin' coke.... did he get 50/50?
Ricky made more money than Mayweatheriin fact, he got 100% of the UK money. Not that that was the only reason why he fought Floyd, as limited as he was against the really elites, he always wanted greatness and he proved that by fighting the best two fighters. He dared to be great. And I think that's his point - it shouldn't be just about money it should be about proving you're the best.

A lot of people don't know this but when Mayweather signed him, he paid Ariza a lot of money and the contract he signed says he is not allowed to work with any other boxer until Mayweather retires! Even though Floyd is no longer with Ariza, he cannot return to boxing. So he's now currently working with European soccer players.

To an extent I agree about proving you're the best but what if you've already proven yourself? Mike Tyson said the same thing.

It's obvious with Floyd it's about money, that's why he said it's a business, that's why The Bay Area pointed out that he is tops on the Forbes list.

With Floyd it's about money. If we want to see the fight bad enough, give him what he's asking for. If it's not about money, then Team Pacquiao should stop turning down offers if that's the case.

Bottom line, if I'm Pacquiao, I'm taking the guaranteed $40-$60 million with 30% of the PPV offer for a chance to beat the best pound for pound boxer in the world. I wouldn't care what anybody else says.... Pacquiao is begging for fight and even making commercials. You want it that bad, take the offer and beat him. Period!

If there are any offers. Right now we don't know anything, it's silent (good news imo).

And pleaseddon't bring up Espinozas "offer" to fight on Showtime, while he has a contractwith HBO, wwe've been over that already (it can only be a joint operation).
