Official Mayeather vs Pacquiao March 13th
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
haha, yeah cuz pacquiao is an unskilled club fighter like arturo gatti! Give me a break.
I see floyd struggle with the speed of the SOUTHPAW pacquiao which floyd has had problems with before in the past:
quick, feather fisted southpaw:
southpaw
southpaw
Floyd may very well win but he's going to eat some punches, pacquiao aint no gatti. Pac comes from all angles, gatti was so slow & predictable he practically sent an email to floyd letting him know a punch was coming

lol feather fisted, Chop Chop aint no joke man he did the same thing to Cotto before they had to save him(Cotto) and stop the fight. anybody can get caught, I can show u plenty of videos of Pan Man getting his head busted up lol. its how u come back and finish the fight, did u see Zabs face at the end of that fight lol he was a bloody pulp. Mayweather is gona fuck Pacquiao up bad man and just like that Gatti fight, hes not gonna use his defensive guard hes famous for
you think mayweather is giong to go toe to toe with pac? you're crazy. I haven't seen floyd mayweather throw combo's for years. He will pot-shot like always.
And you should get this notion of gatti out of your head, Gatti was never a great fighter. Very entertaining, but like floyd even said he was a c-class fighter at best.
Pacquiao is a great fighter and fights nothing like gatti. His footwork is even a notch above mayweathers. The thing that will frustrate floyd is pac is unpredictable, unlike gatti or pretty much everyone else. His punches come from all angles which is why I think floyd will get caught a few times and stunned. I mean if marquez was able to catch floyd very cleanly a few times, what you think pac will do?
And for the record chop chop has like a 35% KO ratio.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather wins the fight, in fact, if I were to put money on this fight I would likely put it on floyd, but to say Floyd is going to beat Pac like gatti is just crazy talk. Floyd is going to have his hands full to say the least.
And yeah, Pac was KO'd when he was 16 years old and again when he was about 19. Pac didn't have the luxury of fighting in the amateurs & olympics like floyd did, he had to turn pro as a teenager to feed his family.
Floyd lost 6 times during the same time period for the record.

^^^ lol!!!!
I know Pacquiao man I use to be a huge fan of his and still is just not as much. I followed his career and knew he was gona be a star, before all these bandwagers that don't know shit about boxing hoped on his dick.
but anyway come fight night if Pacquiao fights the aggresive rush in style of his against Mayweather he will take a beating.

Pac knows how to box now, he's not like he was 4-5 years ago.
I think that bounce inside & out/bruce lee technique he does will confuse mayweather, cuz he's not really gonna know when he's going to throw and when he's not.
Anyways, will be a good fight. I think Floyd might get his face a little damaged for the first time. I mean:

The mayweathers need to shut the fuck up and stop hating on pac. Floyd just need to step in the ring with pac and shut up. Floys jr a bitch he duck cotto margarito he a bitch spreading rumors.fuck him i hope he getz knock out in the first round. Floyd aint no where. Near the best fighter ever!!!! Pacquia has done more in this sport than mayweather. Manny will fight anybody no queastions ask he a sav he has heart.
haha, yeah the clitoris gloves are the shit. I'm glad they agreed on the 8oz gloves. Not only because of power but because Floyd be using those big ass gloves to cover his face, 8oz ones will leave him a tad bit more exposed.
If floyd really wanted to make some fans though he'd pull a sugar ray loenard and go toe to toe with Pac just SRL did against Duran. Sure SRL lost the fight, but people respected him for showing he had some balls. Prior to that he was like a floyd, never really got down & dirty. And we all know how SRL's career went after that, he's one of the top 10 greatest of all time.

Golden Boy CEO pulls out of tour
For unspecified reasons, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is out of the running to host the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather super fight, Top Rank's Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Wednesday.
Arum, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who will co-promote the nearly finalized fight, and HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg were supposed to meet with Cowboys officials at the stadium on Wednesday for a tour of the facility and to talk with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about a site fee for the fight.
However, Arum said he received a call from Schaefer on Tuesday night canceling the trip.
"Richard called me last night and said he won't go to Texas," Arum said. "And I told him to call Ross and tell him. And then I called Ross and said, 'You don't want me to go if he's not going. If Jerry Jones offers me money for the fight what is Pacquiao going to do? Go in the ring alone?' Schaefer just said, 'I'm not going to Texas. I'm not going to do the fight in Texas. I'm not going to waste my time.' That's the explanation."
Arum said he asked why and Schaefer's response was, "'The fight is March 13 and there isn't enough time to do a fight at an outdoor stadium.' It's bizarre, but that's what he said. I reminded him [that the stadium has a retractable roof]. He said it doesn't matter. I am not going to theorize. I'm just telling you what happened."
The Cowboys declined to comment when reached by ESPNDallas.com on Wednesday.
Arum, who turned 78 on Tuesday, was having a dinner party for his birthday at his Las Vegas home and was planning to leave at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
"I was planning to get up early and then the bombshell happened," Arum said. "Richard called and that's where we are. He may have a real good reason why he wouldn't consider Dallas. The reason he gave me, frankly, makes no sense. Maybe he has another reason that he didn't articulate it to me. But we had airline tickets booked and the three of us planned to rendezvous in Dallas and then go out to the stadium."
Jones is interested in bringing big events to his new stadium -- which could seat as many as 100,000 for a fight -- and landing Pacquiao-Mayweather was one he had in mind.
Greenburg, who was in his office in New York when reached Wednesday, had no comment. The fight will be televised on HBO PPV.
Schaefer wouldn't address the reasons he called off the trip to Texas, telling ESPN.com, "This is a fight our side wants and we are working very hard to finalize it. The next time you hear from us is when we have a signed deal or the negotiations have fallen apart. I want to get a deal done and once a deal is done then we will be available for comments. Until then, there is no comment from our side."
There has been interest from other venues, including the Superdome in New Orleans, although Las Vegas, specifically the MGM Grand, is believed to be the front-runner to host what many believe will be the richest fight in boxing history. The MGM, which has a close relationship with Golden Boy and Top Rank, has hosted several Pacquiao and Mayweather bouts, including their most recent fights -- Mayweather's shutout decision of Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19 and Pacquiao's 12th-round knockout of Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14.
The Miami Dolphins are also interested in hosting the fight at Land Shark Stadium, going so far as to send out e-mails to their season-ticket holders to gauge their interest in buying tickets for the event.

Pacquiao isn't afraid to go Toe to Toe. Sure Mayweather has probably the best defense in the game right now, but his retreat and defense can only do so much against a power and speed puncher such as Pacquiao. Being the aggressor in the fight wins rounds (i.e. Williams/Martinez fight). I give credit when credit is due and Mayweather is an excellent counter puncher, but I just can't see Mayweather blocking/countering punches of Manny's speed/power caliber.
i hate when people call it "Running" or being a pussy... stepping in any ring in front of thousands of fans automatically cancels u out of the PUSSY category.... thats fuckin INSANE pressure... PBF got the sweet science down.. i'll say it once and ill say it again... floyd will cut thru manny with ease.... and im NOT doubting pacman.. hes a great fighter and packs a huge amount of power in his punches... but hes not as good as mayweather...
